A. Routine
1. Greetings
 Good morning, class. How’s —Good morning, Sir.
your day? —We’re fine, Sir. Thank you.
 Who’s absent today? —Nobody is absent, Sir.

B. Motivation
 Today, we

will have

an

activity.

Here, I

have

several

cards and

each card

has a

statement.

Since you

are in

three

columns

here, we

will have

three

groups for

this

activity.
 With these

cards, I

will ask

you to sort

them into

what are

true

statements

and what

are false

statements.

Later, I

will ask

those who

are seated

at the

back of

your column

to

present your cards. You have Okay, Sir.
3 minutes, class, to discuss.
True/False Cards
C1 A basketball will bounce back
higher than its height of release.
C2 A bowling bowl will bounce on
 beach sand.
C3 When you push a wall, the wall
pushes you back.
C4 It’s possible that Neptune can
collide with Pluto.
C5 There is collision in playing
chess.
C6 In theory, a planet collided with
Earth which brought the
extinction of dinosaurs.
C7 When you dribble a basket ball
at an angle, the ball will bounce
in the same angle.

 
Are you ready now to
present, class?  Yes, Sir.

Let’s start with Group 3.
Presenters, please come here  Sir, the True statements are:

 Very good, Group 3. You are
correct that cards 3, 5, abd 7
are true while the others are
false.
[The activity ends when all questions
are answered.]

 Now, what do you think will

That’s correct, Wynn.
Collisions happen when
objects bump or clashes on
surfaces or on other objects,
but more practically, can
anybody give me an example
of a collision?

A. Activity
 Very well. Now, I will group you
into 5. Since we’ve
checked about your
familiarity with collisions, per

marbles that you will

instructions that I will be
giving. Are you grouped and
ready class?
 Be ready, because after this
activity, I will have you explain
what we have done with the
marbles.
 Okay class, here is the first
instruction, I need you to  [The students do so, and make

tight and let’s start explaining
what had happened with
your activity, ready class?
 On the first task, you made
the two marbles move
towards each other so that
they will collide. After
colliding, what happened to
the marbles?
 Yes, Andy?  Sir, the two marbles instantly
 You’re correct, Andy. In the moved apart from each other,

marbles moved apart after
colliding.
 How about the second task?
Who can give us observations
 Sir, when the moving marble
about what had happened collided with the one at rest,
when a marble in motion, the non-moving marble moved
collided one marble that was along the direction of the
at rest? Yes Tristan? moving marble.
 Correct, Tristan. In the case
of the second task, when the
moving marble collided with

5
 the one at rest, the two
marbles moved in the same
direction.
 How about the third task?
The marble in motion
collided with the one that
was being held down, what
observations have you taken
 Sir, the moving marble bounced
about this event? Yes back.
Andrea?
 You’re right, Andrea. In the
third instruction, the moving
marble, obviously, bounced
back as it collided with the
held marble.
C. Abstraction
 Class, go back to your seats
now. Here, I have a tennis
ball. Observe what happens
when I drop the ball on the
floor.
[drops ball]
Class, what objects collided
 The ball and the floor collided,
when I dropped the ball? Yes, Sir.
Jan?
 Correct, Jan. The ball and the
floor collided. Now, what
type of collision happened?  Elastic collision, Sir.
May I ask Jet?
 Very good, Jet. When the ball
bounced, elastic collision
happened. In the activity
earlier, which one was elastic

of elastic collision.
 Now, eyes here in front. I will
drop a plastic container on
the floor. I want you to
observe and identify what
type of collision will happen.
[drops a plastic container]
 Can you identify what type of
collision happened? May I  Inelastic collision happened, Sir.
ask, Jena?
 You’re right, Jena. Inelastic
collision happened when I
dropped the plastic bottle on
the floor. Why do you think it
is inelastic collision? Yes,  After colliding, Sir, the plastic

position when it bounced.
 Very good, Miles. The plastic
bottle did not reach its
original position after
bouncing. In scientific terms,
some of the bottles kinetic
energy was lost.
 Now, I will drop a book on
the floor. What do you think
will happen, class? Will the  The book will not bounce, Sir.

 Thank you, Leah. You’re right.
Let’s see what will happen
when I drop this book.

what type of collision is this?
May I ask Carl?
 Why is it perfectly inelastic,  It is perfectly inelastic, Sir,
Carl? because the book did not

kinetic energy was lost in the
collision with the floor.
 So class, what are the three
types of collision? Yes, Mark?  The three types of collision are

 Very good, Allysa. Mass and
velocity can affect collision.
And we call that momentum.

happen, class, if I will roll this
marble to a bowling bowl?  The marble will bounce to the

 presentation, I will show you
how collision works with
momentum.
 Class, momentum is mass in
motion. Therefore, we can
assume that heavier objects
have greater momentum.
However, light objects can
also have as much
momentum as a heavy
object, depending on its
velocity.
Momentum
p = mv
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1’ + m2v2’

 Again class, describe the

effects of momentum in  Momentum can determine
collisions. May I ask Jana? how strong the impact will be

they are important in the
practical world.
 For now, class, I want you to
derive formulas. Last week,
you spent time on deriving
formulas from a given
equation. So now, you will
apply what you have learned.
With your learning buddy, I

9
 want you to find the value of
v1 and v2, and m1 and m2 in
the equation m1v1 + m2v2 =
m1v1’ + m2v2’. I will only give
you 3 minutes.
 Are you now ready, class? [sample computation] May I
ask Karylle to find the
value of v1, on the board
please.
 Thank you, Karylle. Now,
using the derived formulas, I
will give you a sample
problem.

D. Application
 Class, please work with your
pair in answering this sample
problem.
A 0.01-kg marble was
rolled to the right at 0.05 [student answer]
m/s and made an elastic
collision with a 0.015-kg Given:
marble moving to the left
at 0.03 m/s. After the
collision, the smaller
marble moved to the left
at 0.002 m/s. Find the
velocity of the 15-g marble Find:
after collision.
Solution:
 I will only give you 5 minutes
to do this.

10
  Are you done, class? May I
ask Angelie to show their
answers on the board?
 So, after collision, the
velocity of the larger marble
is 0.002 m/s, which is equal
to the velocity after collision
of the smaller marble.
 As you noticed, the two
marbles have different mass
and velocities but they have
equal velocities after
collision. What can you infer,  Heavier objects can have great
