A Detailed Lesson Plan

In
Science 4
I. Objectives

At the end of the lesson the pupils are expected to:

1. Explain the effects of the for applied to an object

2. Investigate how force affects the direction of a moving object
3. Investigate how the application of force can change the shape of an object
II. Subject Matter
a. Topic: “Effects of Forces On Objects”
b. Concept: forces can affects around us. They can start the motion of an object, stop an
objects motion, change its direction, or even change shape of an object.
c. Skills: Can identify the effects of force to the direction and shape of an object.
d. Values: to realize how force affects our daily lives.
e. Materials: pictures, cartolina, projector, laptop.

III. Procedure

Teachers activity Students activity

A. Activity
Before we start our lesson for today’s meeting, let’s have a
recap of what we had discuss last meeting.

Who can give a recap or insight (realization) of last meeting (the student will raise their hands to
discussion? volunteer in giving the recap)

Thank you very students!

Before we start our lesson for today’s meeting I have here Yes sir (the students will watch the video)
with me a video presentation. You are going watch the
video, reminder: listen carefully, understand what the video
is all about and later I will ask you questions about the
video.

B. Analysis

What is the video all about? It is about force

In what way does the force can affect object? -Force can change the shape of an object
-Force can affects the motion of an object
That is absolutely correct! Other answer! Yes! - Force can change the direction of an
object
-Force can stop an object from moving

Bravo! All your answers are correct. Last meeting we had Force is push or pull applied in an object.
already discuss force, again who can give me the meaning It can move a stationary object or stop a
of force. moving object.

Thank you!
C. Lesson proper

Do you know him? He is Isaac Newton

That is correct! He is Isaac Newton. He was an English

mathematician, astronomer, theologian, author and
physicist. He was known for his Newton’s law of motion.

Newton’s first law of motion:

1. “Object that is at rest will remain at rest unless
acted upon by a force”.

Effects on motion

Look at this orange, if I put in at the top of this file of this

No it will remain in the same position.
book and I will not touch it nor other people will touch it,
does the apple itself will move? Or will stay at the same
position?

That is absolutely correct! It will not move. But if

somebody decides to push the orange or someone full out
the book where the apple lays, then it will roll and may fall
off the table.

First law of motion concept:

Object at rest+ no force acted upon the object= at rest

Object at rest+ force acted upon the object=

motion/move/change direction/
Let us put a test on Newton’s first law of motion. The (The student will try the activity)
challenge is we will apply force on the orange by pulling out
the book where the orange lays, our goal is not to move
the orange even though we had apply the force on it by
pulling out the book. I will give one hundred peso bill and
this orange to someone who can make pull out the book
without moving the object above it. I need 5 volunteer.

Does anyone can make the task of pulling the book without No one!
moving the object about it?

Therefore indeed it was correct that Object that is at rest

will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force.

Understand? Yes sir!

Let us go on the effects of force on direction of an object. An object moving at the same speed and
Who can read? direction will continue moving at the
same speed and direction unless acted
upon by another force.
Thank you! Look at the diagram. What do you observed?

Well, all your answers are correct! Are you familiar with this No, none.
sign “N”? Who knows what it is?

This letter “N” stands for Newton. What is Newton? If we

have Km use to measure distance, liter and gallon for water
and kg for mass. We have “N” derived unit of force.

Understand? yes

Let us go back to the diagram; from 2N applied additional It will accelerate.

10N on the object. What do you think will happen? Any
guest?

10N 2N
Force exerted direction of moving object object

That is correct. If a force applied is along the direction of an

object it will speed-up(accelerate)
Stop- if the force applied is opposite the direction the
moving object and is just enough to stop it.

Look at the diagram. What is being lustrated? There are two force is of the opposite
direction and different force

Good observation! What do you think will happen if there It will return
are two force is of the opposite direction and different
force. Do you think it will stop, change in direction or
return?

It will return why? Because the other side has a greater force

That is absolutely correct it will return if the opposite

direction and is more than enough to stop it.

Effect on shape:

Look at the diagram. What will happen if two opposing -Change its shape
force applied into a malleable object, what do you think will -destroyed
happen to the object?

5N malleable 5N
Force exerted object force exerted.
Exactly! There are two possible things to happen it will
change its shape or it might be destroyed/ deformed.

We should remember that If the two forces from opposite

direction are applied on an object and the object is
malleable, it will change its shape.

D. Application
Please open your book on page 244 and do activity 7.5: (the student will answer the activity)
how force affects the shape of an object. Answer what have
you found out?

Problem: how does force the shape of the object.

What have you found out?

1. Why did the glass sup not break?
___________________
2. Why did the rest of the cups break?

Conclusion:
What happens to an object if you put opposing forces on it?
