Learners observe and explore and investigate The learners demonstrate
how things around them move and can be
understanding of motion of objects
moved.
They also identify things in their environment
that can cause changes in the movement
ofobjects.

PHYSICS
GRADE 3
3RD QUARTER
(Force and Motion)

Classroom Culture and Environment:

1. describe the position of a person or an
object in relation to a reference point such as
chair, door, another person Designing Instruction for Understanding:
2. identify things that can make objects move The learners should be able to observe, describe,
such as people, water,wind, magnets and investigate the position and movement of
things around them

fast/slow, forward/backward,
stretching/compressing
 Sense Making:
Learners will describe what makes up their
environment, beginning with the landforms
and bodies of water found in their
community.
