Focus:
Nature of Force
 Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. identify the forces acting on an object.
2. explain the effect of balanced forces in the state of motion of an object

Motivation (5 min) Visual Demonstration

Roll a marble or a ball across a table and let it come to a stop.

Process Questions:
1. Based from the demonstration, what makes object move? What stops object from moving?
2. What happen when forces applied to an object are not balanced?
3. How do forces and friction affect the motion of an object?
Transition Statement: The demonstration showed that the object moved when force is exerted on it. The
movement of an object depends on how much force is applied on it. What is force? What can force
does to an object?

II. Interaction
A. Presentation of Concepts (3 min)
The teacher presents the concept of “The Nature of Force”
- Types of Force
- Effects of Force on an object

Transition Statement: Perhaps the first thing that comes to your mind in a general physics course is that
force is a push or a pull exerted upon a body. But a more scientific concept of force is obtained when you
consider the effect of that push or pull. To further understand the concept, let’s work on this activity

B. Learning Activity (10 min)

C.
Lesson starts with a video presentation.
Video presentation ---- (Nature of Force. This is followed by the conduct of
interactive discussion.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6mi1-YoRT4

Process Questions:
1. What is the nature of force?
2. What are the four fundamental forces?
3. Why object remains stationary?
4. When will object moves and when will it stop moving?

Transition Statement: Let’s find out if you understood the concept by working on the next
activity.

Lab Activity 1: Forces on an Object (Picture analysis)

(Copy of the activity will be given to students)
Process Questions:
1. Is the pen at rest or in motion?
2. Are there forces acting on pen? Name the forces.
3. in what direction/s are the forces that acts on the pen
4. Explain the effects of forces on the motion of an object .
 Transition Statement: Today you learned about the nature of force and the effect of force on the motion
of the body. Applying your knowledge through real-life examples and problem-solving will help solidify
your understanding of forces and their effects on an object’s motion.

III. Integration (17 min)

Core Values/Relates Values:

Goal -Oriented / Critical Thinker

Using your knowledge about the nature of forces, can you explain why an object such as boat float in
water.

(When an object like boat floats in water, the buoyant force exerted by the water upward
balances the force of gravity pulling the object downward. The balanced forces allow the boat to float
and remain in a stable position.)

Focus:
Newton’s Second Law of Motion: Law of Acceleration

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to
1. Demonstrate how a body responds to changes in motion

2. Describe how the net force acting on an object affects its acceleration

Motivation: (3-5 min)

Activity 1 – PICTURE ANALYSIS (Dump truck vs. Honda Civic)

Suppose a dump truck collides head on with a Honda Civic, which vehicle would undergo greater
change in its motion? Why? Write your prediction and explanation in the “BEFORE” column of the
table below.

BEFORE AFTER
Answer: Answer:

Explanation: Explanation

Transition Statement: The pictures show that for a car to move, a certain amount of force must be
exerted on it. The motion of the car is dependent upon the mass of the object as well as the force
exerted on an object. This is the topic that we are going to discuss today.

II. Interaction
Presentation of Concepts (3 min)
The teacher presents the concept of “Newton’s Second Law of Motion”
 Transition Statement: The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two
variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

B. Learning Activity (30 mins)

---- Lesson starts with this question:

Why do some things move and at times faster than the others?

…. The question is best explained by Sir Isaac Newton’s second law of motion.

Activity 2. Video clip Analysis

A video is played and students will be asked to answer the process questions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO7XeYPi2FU
Process Questions:
1. What causes an object to accelerate?
2. What happen to the acceleration of the object when force is doubled? When mass is doubled?
3. What is the relationship of acceleration and force? How about the relationship of mass an
acceleration?
4. If a force is applied to two objects with unequal masses, how will the accelerations of the
objects compare?

Transition Statement: A force exerted upon an object causes it to accelerate, the acceleration of the
object is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass. This can be understood
further by working on the next activity.

…. Let’s apply the second law of motion through this activity

Laboratory Activity 2: “Force and Acceleration: Unleashing Newton’s Law of Motion”

Process Questions:
1. Which object experienced the greatest acceleration?
2. Did the objects with larger masses require more force to achieve the same acceleration?
3. How does changing the mass affect the acceleration of an object
4. How do the observations align with Newton’s Second Law of Motion?
Transition Statement: Many practical applications of Newton’s Law of Acceleration are evident in common
occurrences. To further enhance your understanding of this law of motion, answer the questions given below.
III. Integration:
Value/sub-value: Goal-Oriented: Collaboration and Communication
How is force and mass related to acceleration?
Is it possible for a continuously moving vehicle to have zero acceleration? Why or why not?
If you are riding in a car, how can you tell if the car is moving uniformly?
 Social Issues:
How would you connect the second law of motion to Road safety?
Are you aware of the presence of different signages along roads? What do you think are the
reasons for putting those signages?
As a young citizen, how will you help the city to promote Road Safety?

Lesson Across Discipline:

1. Sports: In sports such as sprinting, swimming, or cycling, Newton's Second Law is at play. Athletes
apply force to accelerate their bodies forward, and the relationship between force, mass (including their
own body mass), and acceleration determines their performance. Understanding this law can help
athletes optimize their training and techniques.

Life Long Learnings:

When a net force is applied, an object accelerates. The acceleration is about the change of velocity. Like in
our lives especially during this pandemic, there are changes happening, but is this a change for good or a change
for worse? Think of the things that change within you or around you right now. Is this a desired change or
something to regret? Cite at least one experience in life.

Transition Statement: To check if you really understood the concept, take this short quiz now.

Assessment:
Direction: In a one half cross wise, answer the question briefly and concisely.
Explain the relationship of force, mass and acceleration

Transition Statement: Let’s find out if learning really took place by working on the synthesis
