IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous lesson or Preliminary Activities:
presenting the new lesson  Prayer
 Checking of Attendance
B. Establishing a purpose for the
lesson
Present the objectives of the topic.
C. Presenting examples/ instances As a springboard to the lesson, present this situation to class.
of the new lesson
Imagine that you are on a field trip going to the zoo. Ask them how they
feel in joining field trip.

Solicit answers from the students and ask them to relate the situation to
the happiness brought by a field trip to a child or student.

Ask: Why is it important to fulfill the happiness of children even though

some of them were forced to work at such a young age?

Relate the situation to the topic.

Ask: What are the things you could see in a zoo field trip while you are
inside a moving bus.

D. Discussing new concepts and 1. Discuss the meaning of motion.

practicing new skills #1 2. Explain what reference point is.
3. Perform differentiated activity by group.
(see separate sheet for the activity sheet)
Group #1 and Group #2 - “Ant, the Explorer”
Group #3 and Group #4 - Describing Location and Movement
using Phet Simulation.
E. Discuss new concepts and
practicing new skills #2 1. Discuss the difference between distance and displacement.
2. Enumerate units of distance and displacement.

F. Developing mastery A car moving along in a straight highway from point P to point Q to point
R and to point S, then back to point Q and finally to the point R as shown
in the figure.

a) Find the distance travelled by car.

b) Find the displacement of the car.
G. Finding practical applications of Cite examples where you apply the concept of distance and
concepts and skills in daily living displacement in real life situation
H. Making generalizations and Ask:
abstractions about the lesson 1. What is motion?
2. What is distance?
3. What is displacement?
I. Evaluating Learning Complete the following statement. Choose your answers from the words

displacement vector distance

reference point final direction
initial change of position scalar
length motion magnitude
inside the box.
Motion is the _______________________ of an object with respect to
a certain __________________. This means that motion is ___________
Distance is usually described as the total path __________. It is the
length between an identified reference point and a designated position. It
is a __________ quantity, which means that distance is expressed as
magnitude only. On the other hand, _____________is the measure of
how far an object has moved in a particular direction from its original
position. This is usually described as the length between the _________
and the _______ position or the change in position including the sign of
the change. Displacement is a _____________quantity. This means that
it is expressed as magnitude with the corresponding
_________________.
J. Additional activities for
Make a road map from your house going to school. Assume sample
application or remediation
measurement of all the distances covered. Compute for the total distance
and displacement travelled.
V. REMARKS

VI. REFLECTION

formative assessment
B. No. of learners who require additional
activities for remediation
C. Did the remedial lesson work? No. of
learners who have caught up with the
lesson
D. No. of learners who continue to require
remediation
E. Which of my teaching strategies worked
well? Why did these work?
 F. What difficulties did I encounter which
my principal or supervisor can help me
solve?
G. What innovation or localized materials
did I use/discover which I wish to share
with other teachers?

ACTIVITY SHEET
“ANT THE EXPLORER”

Objectives:

1. Describe the location of an ant.

2. Differentiate distance and displacement
3. Solve problems on distance and displacement.

Materials needed:

 Coupon bond
 Ruler/tape measure
 Ant
 Ballpen/marker

Procedure:

1. Trace the movement of an ant using a ballpen in a coupon bond.

2. Measure all the distances covered by the ant using a ruler or tape measure.
3. Add the total distance travelled by the ant.
4. Connect the starting point to the final point of ant’s total distance. Measure it and indicate
direction.

Guide Questions:

1. What was the initial position of the ant?

2. What is the final position of the ant?
3. What is the distance traveled by the ant?
4. What is the displacement of the ant?
5. Which of the underlined quantities (final position, distance traveled, and displacement) are
numerically equal?

Generalization:

How did you solve for the total distance and displacement of an object?

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

ACTIVITY SHEET
“DESCRIBING LOCATION AND MOVEMENT”

Objectives:
1. Describe the location of an object.
2. Differentiate distance and displacement
3. Solve problems on distance and displacement.

Materials needed:

 Phet simulation
 laptop/computer
 Activity sheet
Procedure:

1. Open the Number Line: Distance PhET simulation in your laptop or computer.

2. Visit the Explore “house” page. Set up a scenario with the house and the person so that one has a
positive position and one has a negative position, and sketch below.
3. Place the house and the person together at a single starting point. Sketch it below.

4. Perform multiple methods for calculating distance with objects at positive and negative positions.
