Good Afternoon Class Good Afternoon Teacher

Please stand up first for our prayer “Oh God, Almighty…”
Before you sit, please pick up the rubbish and
arrange your chair.

As I call your name please say present if you’re (Students say present as their name being called)

A. Review
Before we proceed to our new topic, who can (One student will answer the topic discussed
recall our topic yesterday? yesterday.)

Very Good! Thank you for your participation.

B. Motivation
Forces has been always part of our daily lives. It It makes an object move.
cannot be seen by our naked eyes but we can It can change the shape and size of an object.
feel it in our body. Can you give me examples of Makes a moving object stop. (answers of students may
effects of force to an object? vary)

I have here some objects, a balloon, clay and

chair. We’re going to have a quick question and
answer.
(Let one student blow the balloon) It grow bigger.
 Change on size.
What happened to the balloon when you apply
force on it?

(let one student play with the clay) It change on shape.

Same question, what happened to the clay when

you apply force to the clay?

(let one student move the chair) Change on position.

It moves.
Last, what happened to the chair when you
apply force to it?

Thank you for your participation.

Now that you can identify the effects of force to
an objects. Let us now determines the changes
happens to an object when force is applied.
2. Explore
Group the pupils into four and let them answer the
table.

Direction: Examine the table below. The first column

shows activities wherein force is applied to different
objects. Determine what changes or what happens

3. Explain

Effects of Force on the Shape, Size and

Movement on the Objects
 Force is either a push and pull on an object. It
occurs when two or more objects interact with
each other. Force can change the state of rest or
motion of an object. An example is when your
hand pushes a marble gently on the top of a
table. The marble then set into motion. Now if
you keep your hand on the opposite side of the
moving marble, the moving marble comes into a
state of rest.

The shape of an object may change when force is

applied on it. Kneading a dough, compressing
cotton, bending a wire, twisting a rope,
stretching a rubber band or squeezing a ball.
Also, when force is applied to an object, the
object’s size may change. Some situations where
force is applied and changed the sized of an
objects are the following: dropping a glass,
cutting a paper, and slicing a vegetables.
The force applied on an objects also affects its
movement. Force can change the direction of
movement of an object. An example is when a
football players applies force by kicking the ball
in different directions. Force can change how
fast or slow the movement of an object is.

5. Evaluation

Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct

and FALSE if it is not. 1.FALSE
2.TRUE
1.Without force, an object at rest will move. 3.FALSE
2.Without force, a moving object will not stop. 4.TRUE
3.Force can cause an object to be in continuous 5.FALSE
motion only.
4.The stronger the force applied, the farther the
distance of the toy car travelled.
5.The amount of force does not affect how fast or
slow the motion of the object is.
Assignment
Direction: In your assignment notebook write 3-5 sentences citing the importance of the effects of force in our
daily life.
