C. Review/Recall

The teacher will group the students into three (3). They will play
the game charades. The teacher will call three (3) volunteer each
group, they will actualize the three (3) Laws of Motion and their
groupmates will guess it.

Group 1 – Law of inertia

Group 2 – Law of Acceleration

Group 3 - Law of Interaction

D. Motivation

The teacher will simulate a simple experiment about kinetic and

potential energy.

After that, the teacher will call three(3) students to do the simulation.
Discussion of safety precautions will follow.

Guide Question:
1. Why our improvised pendulum didn’t hit our chin? Is there
any problem with this pendulum?
2. Do you think this pendulum use only one energy?
3. What are those types of energy?

Answers:

1. The pendulum is losing energy

2. The pendulum uses two types of energy’s
3. Potential and Kinetic energy

4. Loraine runs 1km, she stops at 7/11 to buy and drink water,
then, she continue running at 1km again. She stops to drink

Page | 6
 water again. Lastly Loraine rides a taxi to go home. How
many kinetic energy did Loraine uses?
a. 2 kinetic energy because Loraine runs 2 times.
b. 3 kinetic energy because Loraine runs 2 times and
she rides a taxi to go home.
