Semi- Detailed Lesson Plan in Science

Grade 8
First Quarter
I. OBJECTIVES

A. Content Standards  The learner demonstrates understanding of Newton’s three

laws of motion and uniform circular motion.

B. Performance Standards  The learner shall be able to develop a writer plan and
implement a “Newton’s Olympics”.

C. Learning Competencies / Objectives (S8FE-Ia-15)

Write the LC code for each
 Investigate the relationship between the amount of force
applied and the mass of the object to the amount of change in
the object’s motion.

Objectives:
1. Identify the forces acting on an object at rest.
2. Explain why objects stay at rest.

a. Preliminaries
1. Prayer
Let us bow down our heads and Let us pray.
put ourselves in the presence of
the Lord.

2. Greetings
Good Morning class. Good Morning too, Ma’am.

3. Classroom Management
Kindly pick up pieces of paper and Yes, ma’am.
arrange your chairs.

4. Checking of Attendance
Who’s absent for today? None, ma’am.

Reviewing previous lesson or Present the following statement in class and ask the students if they
presenting the new lesson agree or disagree with them. Select two to three students per group to
justify or explain their answer.

A. 1. Force is needed to stop an object.

2. Force always results to motion.
3. Force can act even at a distance.
4. Objects have the tendency to remain at rest.
5. Objects have the tendency to resist change.
B. Establishing a purpose for the Lesson Analyze the pictures (to be presented on the television screen) (can
be printed)

Presenting examples / instances of the

C. new lesson What have you observed on the picture presented?

Discussing new concepts and The teacher will place a ball or any object on top of a table and ask:

D.

a) Will this object move by itself?

b) How can we make this object move?
c) While it is moving, how can we make the object speed up or slow
down?
d) How can make it stop?
e) How can we make it change its direction?

(Leads to Formative Assessment 3)
Analysis:

Situation 1
1. Is the pen at rest or in motion?
2. Are there forces acting on the pen? If yes, draw the forces. You may
F. use arrows to represent these forces.
3. What happens to the pen? What could have caused the pen’s motion?

Situation 2
1. Is the book at rest or in motion?
2. Are there forces acting on the book? If yes, draw the forces
acting on the book.
3. Did the book move? How will you make the book move?

Finding practical applications of Since friction is a resistance force that slows down or prevent motion,
G. concepts there are advantages and disadvantages that friction may do.
and skills in daily living How is friction important in:
a. walking
b. writing
c. running vehicles
Making generalizations and 1. What is force?
H. abstractions 2. What are some other forces that can cause something to move?
about the lesson 3. How does gravity affect object on earth?
4. What is a force that can cause an object to slow down or have little
movement?
5. In your own words define friction.
I. Evaluating Learning Multiple Choice: Read each statement carefully and write only the letter
of the correct answer.

1. A book is at rest on top of a table. Which of the following is correct?

A. There is no force acting on the book.
B. The book has no inertia.
C. There is no force acting on the table.
*D. The book is in equilibrium.
 2. Which of the following situations involves friction?
A. A bicycle rolling down a hill
B. A baseball player sliding into 2nd base
C. A diver falling through the air to a pool
*D. All of the above experience some friction.

3. What is gravity?
A. Newton’s first law
B. The force that objects exert on each other because of their
masses
*C The downward pull on the Earth
D. The friction that an object has put on it

4. Which is the best example of gravity?

A. A car hits a tree, and its motion stops
B. A breeze blows, and a sailboat moves
C. A book is pushed, and it moves across the table
*D. A person drops a ball, and it falls to the ground

5. How does Earth ‘s gravity affect objects near Earth?

A. It pushes them away.
*B. It pulls them in
C. It makes them larger.
D. It makes them move faster.
