REVIEW OF PREVIOUS LESSON

MOTIVATING ACTIVITY
Ok everyone, kind hold your pencils or ballpens
and put it at the top of your desk. As you can
see the pencil is not moving. Now roll the pen
until it will fall on the ground. And analyzed
what have you seen.

Anyone who could explain why does the pencil

rolled off the desk onto the floor.
Yes (calls a name)? The pencil rolled off the desk beacause i
applied a force on it and it falls down
because the force of gravity is pulling it
downward.
Yes that’s right. The pencil rolled off the desk
because you simply exerted a force on it
causing it to move and fall to the ground.

It’s just like the same when i push this table in

front of me. The table moves simply because i
exerted a force on it.
I’ll drop this chalk. The chalk moves downward
because there is a force of gravity acted on it.

So today’s lesson, we will talk about Newton’s

First Law of Motion, the Law of Inertia.

But before anything else, let us be guided first

with our objectives.
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Everyone kindly read our objectives.
 Understand and define the concept of
inertia and Newton’s First Law of Motion
 Demonstrate an activity that
demonstrate Newton’s First Law of
Motion
 Identify situations from daily life that
they can explain with the help of this law
Ok thank you everyone.

ACTIVITY
Class, do you know who formulated the laws of The one who formulated the laws of motion
motion? is Isaac Newton

That’s right. Isaac Newton is the one who

formulated the Three Laws of Motion.

So, Isaac Newton was one of the most famous

scientists in the world. Newton observed how
objects moved. He studied how forces like
gravity changed the motion of an object.
According to story, this all started when an
apple from its tree fell and struck his head while
resting underneath it. After that, the Newton’s
Laws of motion were formulated.
So our discussion for today will start in the First
Law of Motion, The Law of Inertia. Newton said
that an object at rest will remain at rest and an
object in motion will remain in motion unless
acted uponby a force.

We will have an activity to demonstrate this

one.
(Students will count off)
I’ll group this class into five groups. Kindly count
off 1 to 5.

All number one kindly stand up. Choose your

leader. You may now sit.
(same with the following groups)

I’ll be assigning each group a respective areas

to stay.

Group 1 will be here.... group 2.. 3 .. 4.. 5

Without noise. Kindly go to your respective area

and with your chairs make a small circle.

Listen. This activity will be divided into three

parts
.
In part one. Each group will perform “ coin
in a top of a bottle soda”
You will use these materials that i have
prepared. A bottle soda and coins.

Procedure:

•Place a 20 peso bill on a top of bottle

•Stack the coins on the top of 20 peso bill
•Quickly pull the 20 peso bill.

Make an observation of what will happen.

In 1 whole sheet paper. answer these following

questions posted on the board

1. Before pulling the 20 peso bill. What do

think will happen to the coins at the top
of it?
2. What happened to the coins when you
pull the 20 peso bill?

In part two. Each group will perform a penny

card flick using these materials that i have
prepared. A glass/plastic cup, a card and a
penny.
Procedure:

•Place the index card on top of the small glass.

• Place the penny on top of the index card.
• From the side flick the index card off of the
glass. Make sure that the card is flicked parallel
to the desk.

Make an observation of what will happen.

And answer these following questions posted
on the board.

1. Before flicking the card. What do think

will happen to the coinat the top of the
card?
2. What happened to the coin when you
flick the card?
3. In which direction did the card moves.
4. In which direction did the coin moves?
5. Why does the coin did not followed the
patch of the card.

In part three. You will perform an Egg in the

Water trick. I have here a glass/plastic cups
a plastic plate a tissue paper tube and a
boiled egg.

Procedure:

•Pour some water into the glass (half of the

glass)
•Place the plastic plate on top of the small
glass.
• Stand up the three toilet paper tubes on the
plate directly over the glass of water
• Place the raw eggs on the tops of the toilet
paper tubes.
• Using your hand and with a force, Strike the
side of the plate
• Make an observation of what will happen.

And answer these following questions posted

on the board.

1. Before stricking the plate. What do think

will happen to the egg at the top of the
paper tubes.
2. What happened to the egg when you
flick the card?
3. In which direction did the plate.moves?
4. In which direction did the egg moves?
5. Why does the egg did not followed the
patch of the plate.

Am i understood? Yes Sir!

I’ll give you 20 minutes to do it. After 20

minutes. I’ll call some group to demonstrate it
again here in front and to give their answers
based on their observations.
(Students doing their activity)
Ok you may start now.
20 minutes done everyone. Kindly arrange the
chairs and take a sit. Just remain in your
respective groups.

ANALYSIS
Now group 4, kindly, choose some
representative on your group to demonstrate
the part one here in front and tell us what have
you oserved.
Group 4 here in front.
(Student will demonstrate the part 1. “Bottle
Soda and coins””
(Students telling the class what have they
observed )
1. Before pull the 20 peso bill. What do
think will happen to the coins at the
top of it?
2. What happened to the coins when
you pull the 20 peso bill?

A very good observation group 4.

Did the other groups come up with the same
observation too?
Ok very good.

Now, Group 1 will demonstrate the part and tell

us what have you observed (Student will demonstrate the part 2.
Group 1 here in front. “Penny Card Flick”
(Students telling the class what have they
observed )
1. Before flicking the card. What do
think will happen to the coinat the
top of the card?
2. What happened to the coin when
you flick the card?
3. In which direction did the card
moves.
4. In which direction did the coin
moves?
5. Why does the coin did not followed
the patch of the card.

That’s nice to here that good observations too

group 1.
Did the other group come up with the same
observation too?
Ok very good everyone.

Ok group 5. Kindly demonstrate the third one. (Student will demonstrate the part 3. “Egg
Group 5 here in front. in Water”
(Students telling the class what have they
observed )

1. Before stricking the plate. What do

think will happen to the egg at the
top of the paper tubes?
2. What happened to the egg when
you flick the card?
3. In which direction did the
plate.moves?
4. In which direction did the egg
moves?
 5. Why does the egg did not followed
the patch of the plate.
Ok Very good!
Did the other group come up with the same
observation too?

Ok very good everyone.

What have you observed is the First Law of

Motion or the law of Inertia. Which tells us that
all objects that at rest will stay at rest and objest
in motion will stay in motion unless a force is
acted upon it.

In your activity, when you pull the bill the coins

on the top of it remainsat rest. It means that the
coin has intertia.

Inertia is the tendecy of an object to resist

changes in motion.

All objects moving or at rest has inertia. But it

varies in relation to the mass of an object.
“The greater the mass of an object the greater
its inertia”

Now which has greater inertia. A ping pong ball

at rest or a golf ball at rest?

That’s right. Golf ball at rest.

Now going back to your activity, before you flick

the card. Everything, the glass, the coin and the
card are at rest.

But when you put a force in the card by

flickering it. The card moves to the direction of
the force.

But why is it that the coin also moves

downward.
Does it mean that did you put a force also in the
coin? No Sir!

Why? It is because there is a force of gravity

acting on it.
That’s right. When you pull the card the coin
stay at rest for a while until the force of gravity
will act on it pulling it downward.

The same goes for the egg in the water activity.

Am i understood? Yes sir.

ABSTRACTION
Who was the one formulated the Laws of
Motion? The one formulated the Laws of Motion is
Isaac Newton

What the we call first law of Motion? The Law of Inertia

What is inertia? Inertia is the tedency of an object to resist
any changes in motion
Which has a greater inertia, a book at rest or a
pencil at rest? A book

What does the law of inertia states?
Very good class.
The first law of motion or the law of inertia
states the an object at rest will remain at
rest and an object in motion will remain in
motion unless acted upon a force.

APPLICATION
Class, everyday in our life we experience and
encounter these first law of motion. Some of
these experience we drive bicycles, we lift
books, we play basketball, we see moving cars
and more.

Anyone can give me other situations from daily

life that you can explain with the help of this
law? When we ride a bus and the bus in motion
suddenly stop, our body tend to move
forward.
Very good. Another one?
When we drice or ride a motor and follow a
curve path our body tend to move in the
opposite direction.
Ok very good class.

EVALUATION

For your quiz. I will show you a picture scenario of two children playing soccer. One child has
kicked a soccer ball toward the goal. The other child is attempting to block the goal. In a ½ cw
paper, i want you to answer the following questions.

1. Write an explanation of how Newton's first law of motion is being illustrated by the
soccer player kicking the soccer ball.
2. Suppose the goalie catches the ball. How does that further illustrate Newton's first law
of motion?

ASSIGMENT

As your reading assignment, i want you to read and study the Newton’s Second Law of
Motion, the Law of Acceleration which will be our Lesson for tomorrow.

Each group ( we will be having the same group) will bring 2 soda cans. 1 full soda can and 1
empty soda can for your activity tomorrow.

Good day to everyone!
