SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN GRADE 9 SCIENCE

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the learners will be able to:

A. Content Standard: demonstrate an understanding of projectile motion,

impulse and momentum, and conservation of linear momentum
B. Performance Standard: propose ways to enhance sports related to projectile
motion
C. Most Essential Learning Competency: describe the horizontal and vertical
motions of a projectile (S9FE - IVa -34)
Specific Objectives:

a. describe concepts and components of projectile motion

b. draw and label the parts of projectile; and
c. demonstrate appreciation on the real-life application of projectile
motion in sports or in any circumstances.

II. CONTENT: Projectile Motion

III. LEARNING RESOURCES
