 Communication-Students have to discuss possible errors of the Newton’s Laws of
motion with other classmates to arrive with the correct answer.
 Inferring-Students have to connect what they observe to prior knowledge and the new
information observed through their senses by performing activity in each stations.
II. Content and Learning Resources
Key Concepts:
 An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in
the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
 The magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force applied, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.
 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Teacher Student(s)

Good morning class. Good morning, sir!

Kindly pick up the pieces of paper and make sure

that your place is well organized. Yes, sir!

(Prayer)
Altogether let us stand and pray. Students stand and pray.

(Checking of attendance)
Is there anyone of the class who is absent today? None, sir!

perform a “Good job” for your complete
attendance. (Students perform “Good Job”.)

Thank you for your participation. It seems like you
have different answers. At the end of the lesson,
we will go back to these statements to check
whether all your answers are correct. Okay, sir!

So for our lesson, I would like you to enjoy the

learning that’s why I prepared an Olympics for
today. Are you all ready and excited? Yes, sir!
(The teacher will post the instructions on the
board) can you read the instruction for our
activity? The groupings from the past activity will be the
same. Each group will be assigned to each station.
The groups will have rotations in each station
every five minutes. The students should be able to
accomplish each task and answer the guide
questions.

ACTIVITY: Newton Olympics

Station 1: Newton’s First Law of Motion – Law

of Inertia.
Materials: Index cards, Paper cups.
Procedure:
1. Stack the 5 pieces of paper cups in a tower (The Students will perform The activity)
formation, placing an index card in between each
paper cups.
2. Starting at the top, remove the first index card
with a swift pull directly backwards, avoiding
pulling at an angle.
3. Continue removing the cards in this fashion
from top to bottom, observing how the paper cups
are keeping them in place.
Guide Question:

1. What strategy did you use to successfully stack

the paper cups? I pull the index card as fast as I can.

2. What happened when you pulled/pushed the

index card? The cup easily get stacked one on top of another.

3. Based from the activity, Define the Law of

Inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in
motion stays in motion with the same speed and in
the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.

Okay, Switch stations. (The groups will switch stations.)

STATION 2: Newton’s Second Law of Motion –

Law of Acceleration.
Materials: Crumpled paper, stones, pen, ruler
Procedure: (The Students will perform The activity)
PART A (Constant Force)
1. Place a crumpled paper in front of the ruler.
2. Carefully bend the ruler back and release it.
3. Place a stone in front of the ruler.
4. Carefully bend the ruler back and release it. Be
sure to bend the ruler back to the same spot (force
needs to be constant).
PART B (Constant Mass)
5. Place a crumpled paper in front of the ruler.
6. Carefully bend the ruler back and release it.
7. Repeat the same procedure but this time, bend
the ruler back more than the first trial.

Guide Questions:
1. When the ruler was bent backward (constant
force), which moves faster? The crumpled paper or
the stone? Why? The crumpled paper because it has less mass than
the stone.
2. When you vary the force you applied in the
crumpled paper, what happens to it? The greater force I applied to the crumpled paper,
the greater distance it travelled.

3. Explain the relationship between acceleration

and the objects mass and the applied force. The magnitude of the acceleration is directly
proportional to the net force applied, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.

Class, Switch Stations. (The groups will switch stations.)

Station 3: Newton’s third Law of Motion – Law

of Interaction.
Materials: 2 Spring balance
Procedure: (The Students will perform The activity)
1. Connect the two ends (hooks) of the spring
balance.
2. Pull the two spring balances away from the
other.
Guide Question:
1. What happened when you pulled the 2 spring
balances away from the other? The second spring will also move.
2. Do you think that the two spring balance
experience the same force? Why? No, they have the same magnitude of force but
different in direction.
3. Based from the activity, Define the Law of
Interaction. For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.

Time is up! Okay, now post you answers on the

board and kindly go back to your proper seats. (The students will post their answers on the board
 and will go back to their seats.)

So, how was the activity? The activity is tiring but fun.

Now, lets check your answers.

Okay, class. Upon performing the task in station 1,

what have you observed? As I pull the card fast, the cup easily get stacked
one on top of another.

Good observation! So from that, can you state

Newton’s firs law of motion? An object at rest stays at rest and an object in
motion stays in motion with the same speed and in
the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.

Exactly! The first law of motion is called Law of

Inertia.

In the next station, what have you observed? The crumpled paper moves faster than the stone by
doing the same actions on it.

Nice observation! From your answer, explain the

relationship between acceleration and the objects
mass and the applied force. The magnitude of the acceleration is directly
proportional to the net force applied, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.
Exactly! The second law of motion is called Law
of Acceleration.

So for the last station, what have you observed? When the first spring balance was pulled, the same
reading was obtained with the second spring
balance.

Precisely! From your answer, define the law of

interaction. For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.

e. Practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

Teacher Student(s)
Have you ever wondered if we can see Newton’s
laws of motion in our daily lives? Yes, sir!

Can you give me a real life application of Law of

inertia? When a bus suddenly starts, the passengers sitting
or standing in the bus tend to fall backward.

How about the law of acceleration? In studying, the more difficult the task is, the more
effort we should exert to finish it.

And lastly, the law of interaction? Do not do unto others what you don’t want others
do unto you.
Very good! It seems like you really understood our
lesson because you had thought of not just
practical applications of it but also knowing the
value of this topic.
f. Generalization:
Teacher Student(s)
Now, that you learned from today’s lesson, let us
go back to our anticipation guide and see whether
your answers will change. The students will read each question again and will
tell whether they still agree or disagree on the
statement.

After the activity, what are the Newton’s Laws of

Motions? State each Law. 1st law of motion (Law of inertia)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in
motion stays in motion with the same speed and in
the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.

2nd law of motion (Law of Acceleration)

force F is the product of an object's mass and its
acceleration a

3rd law of motion (Law of Interaction)

For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
