 ACTIVITY 2
TRIAL TIME
1st 4 seconds
2nd 4.5 seconds
3rd 6 seconds
 ACTIVITY 2
1. What did you change in every trial that you did?
Answer:
the distance of masking tape.

2. What effects did you observe about the change that you made?
Answer:
everytime to change the position of masking tape and the force
exerted to the toy car.
 ACTIVITY 2
3. What conclusions can you make from your observations?
Answer:
the greater the force i exerted, the faster an object will move.
 ACTIVITY 3
1. What did you do to increase the original length of the toy?
Answer:
I stretched the spring toy to increase the lenght

2. What did you do to make it shoter than its original length?

Answer:
I compressed the spring toy to shorter the length.
 ACTIVITY 3
3. What can you conclude based on your answers above?
Answer:
the greater the force i exerted, the more you stretched and
compressed the spring toy.
 FORCE
• When you push or pull, you actually exert force.
• Do you see it?
• Force itself may not be seen, but effects are visible.
• Can you name the effects when you exert force onto your
bag?
• When you pull it, to which direction does it go? What
happens when you push it?
 TO WHICH WAY SHOULD I
GO?
• A push moves an object away from you.
• A pull moves it towards you.
• If force can do this, what can we infer about it?
• We can say that the direction of the force influences
the direction of the object’s movement.
 THINK ABOUT THIS...
• What happens if both teams playing tug-of-war exert
an equal amount of force? To which way will rope
go? Which team will win?
 STRETCH IT OUT
• Pulling brings the opposite ends of an object farther
apart, while pushing brings them closer together.
• When you pull something apart, it is called stretching
and when you are pushing it together, it is called
compressing.
 ASSIGNMENT
• Do the activity on page 285 LETTER B
ONLY (Tug-of-war). While you doing the
activity, take a picture at least 1 picture and
print on a short bondpaper, write your
answer below your picture. Attach it on
