papers.
3. Raise the two pieces of paper to the same height, as shown
in the figure below.
4. Drop the papers at the same time. Observe which object
reached the floor [Link] will be your first trial.
5. Repeat dropping the papers two more times and observe.
These will be your second and third trials.

paper and the uncrumpled one, which object reached the
floor first?
A. crumpled paper
B. plain paper
2. Does air affect the falling of the two papers? Why?
A. Yes, the air opposes the movement of the
two papers.
B. No, the air does not oppose the movement
of the two papers.
3. Which object experienced the greater opposing force of the
air? Why?
A. The crumpled paper because it has a small surface area
in contact with the air.
B. The plain paper because of its wide or big
surface area in contact with the air.
4. How does air friction affect the movement of falling objects?
Choose the correct answer inside the parenthesis.

Air friction (slows down, increases) the motion of falling objects.

E. Discussing new Divide the group into 4 with 5 members. Before giving the activity
concepts and the pupils reminding about the norms and safety measures in doing

EXPLORE Activity 2: MOVING ON DIFFERENT SURFACES


Let’s find out: How does friction affect the motion
of objects?
Let’s do this way:
1. Set the ramp with one side higher.
2. Cover the other side of the ramp with wax paper. This is
your smooth surface.
3. Cover the other side of the ramp with sand paper. This is
your rough surface.
4. Set the block of wood at the lower end of the ramp in the
smooth surface.
5. Hook the spring balance to the block of wood.
6. Pull the spring balance slowly. Take note of the reading on
the spring balance just before the block moves. Record your
reading.
7. Repeat number 4-6 on the rough surface.
8. Compare the date gathered.

Activity 3: MEASURING DISTANCE OF A


MOVING OBJECT
Let’s find out: How does friction affect the distance travelled by a
moving object?
Let’s do this way:
1. Look for smooth floor. Draw a starting line.
2. From the starting line, roll the ball gently. Make sure that
the ball will not hit any object while rolling.
3. Use the stopwatch to get the time the ball starts rolling until
it stops. Record this on the table.
4. Observe if there is a change in the ball’s speed.
5. Measure the distance traveled by the ball using your meter
stick. Record this on the table.
6. Repeat the procedure. Have atleast two more trials. Be sure
to apply the same amount of force.
7. Compute for the average distance and average time.
8. Look for the ground.
9. Do the same procedures as you have done in the smooth
surface. Be sure to apply the same amount of force.
10. Compare your data.

F. Developing mastery Let’s write down our observations for activity 2.


(leads to formative
assessment) 1. What is the reading on the spring balance on the smooth
surface?
EXPLAIN Possible Answer: In the smooth surface, less force is
registered in the spring balance.
Rough surface?
Possible Answer: In the rough surface, more force is needed
to pull the block of wood.
2. Which surface registered a greater force in pulling the
block? Why?
Possible Answer: The rough surface because it has
irrigularities that produce friction when in contact with the
wood that causes difficulty in moving.
3. In which surface does the block of wood move easily or fast?
Possible Answer: Smooth surface
Let’s share our knowledge:
- How does friction affect the motion of an object?
Possible Answer: Friction slows down the
movement of object.

Let’s write down our observations for Activity 3.


1. What happens to the ball after rolling for some time?
Possible Answer: The rolling ball eventually slowed down
and stopped.
2. Is the speed of the ball the same all throughout the travel?
Possible Answer: No
3. What causes the ball to changed speed and stops?
Possible Answer: Friction
4. Compare the average distance of the ball on the two
surfaces. On which surface does the ball travel farther?
Possible Answer: Smooth surface
Let’s share our knowledge:
- How does friction affect the distance travelled by a moving
object?
Possible Answer: Friction is the force that causes the slowing
down of the moving objects.

- Is friction helpful? Teacher ask to the pupils.


- We learned that if there is less friction , objects moves faster and
if there is no friction between two surfaces that are touching each
other, objects will smoothly move and will only stop when an
outside force is applied on it. Reducing or increasing friction will
help people and objects move. In some instances, too much
friction prevents movement and so there is a need to reduce
friction. In other instances, too little friction also prevents
movement and so there is a need to increase friction.

Common questions

Friction influences movement by either slowing down or facilitating the stop of moving objects. In the case of a rolling ball, friction with the ground causes it to eventually slow and stop . When moving cabinets, using rollers reduces friction, allowing for easier movement . Different surfaces, like smooth or rough, affect the level of friction and hence the ease of movement .

On smooth surfaces, objects encounter less friction, allowing them to travel further and faster, as seen in the ball's greater distance of travel before stopping . Rough surfaces, on the other hand, increase friction, causing the object to slow and stop sooner . Experimental data showed that a rolling ball covered more ground on a smooth surface compared to a rough one.

Friction and gravitation clarify movement by explaining how forces act on objects to either hinder or facilitate motion. Gravity pulls objects towards the Earth, while friction opposes motion. Combining these concepts helps learners understand real-world phenomena like why objects stop when thrown. Educational strategies, such as inquiry-based learning and interactive demonstrations, encourage exploration and critical thinking, fostering a deeper understanding .

Different types of friction arise from the nature of contact between surfaces. Static friction prevents motion between stationary objects, sliding friction acts when objects slide over one another, rolling friction occurs with round objects, and fluid friction is experienced by objects moving through liquids or gases. These affect motion by determining the ease with which objects start, continue, or stop moving. For example, sliding friction slows down a sliding person, while rolling friction affects a bowling ball on the lane .

Friction affects sports performance by providing the necessary grip for runners to avoid slipping and enabling control in movements. Runners benefit from surfaces that optimize grip, while ballet dancers use smooth floors to allow for fluid, elegant movements without excessive grip that could hinder motion . Adjustments like specialized footwear optimize friction to suit specific sports needs.

Understanding frictional forces allows educators to create engaging activities such as comparing object movements on different surfaces to demonstrate concepts practically. This can lead to better conceptual understanding through hands-on learning. Educational materials that incorporate experiments, like those involving ramps and surfaces, aid in visualizing friction's effects, reinforcing theoretical lessons .

Friction is beneficial as it allows activities such as walking without slipping by providing the necessary grip. However, it is detrimental when it causes wear and tear or requires more energy for movement, like increased fuel consumption when driving. It can be optimized by reducing friction using lubricants for smoother machinery operation or increasing friction using textured surfaces for better grip .

Adjusting friction is strategic in enhancing machinery efficiency; lubricants reduce friction in engines, preventing wear and conserving energy. Conversely, increasing friction in areas, such as belt drives, ensures effective power transfer. Furthermore, innovations like non-stick coatings or anti-slip surfaces optimize friction for specific applications .

Friction is crucial for road safety, as it impacts the car's grip on the road. During rainy conditions, drivers drive slowly due to reduced friction from wet roads, which can increase stopping distances and risk of sliding . Ensuring proper tire tread and reducing speed can mitigate these risks.

Experiments dropping crumpled and uncrumpled paper illustrate how air friction affects falling objects. The crumpled paper falls faster due to less air resistance compared to the flat paper, which has a greater surface area and thus experiences more air friction . This demonstrates that air friction can significantly slow an object's descent.
