INTRODUCTION
Have you said I Love You to your Mother, to
your Father? How about to your friends? Did
they also say I Love You Too? How does it feel
when you hear this statement from someone
special? I Love You and You Love Me Back.
How can you relate this to the Newtons Third
Law of Motion? In every Action, there is Equal
and Opposite Reaction.
We have discussed the First and Second Laws of
Newtons Three Laws of Motion. Let us now
explore the beauty of the Third Law. At the end
of
thisis Newtons
topic, the
can answer the
What
Thirdstudents
Law of Motion?
following
questions:
Can you cite
the difference between the concept of
Action-Reaction and Balanced Forces? How?
Explain and Relate Action-Reaction Forces from the

IGNITE (I MOVE YOU, YOU MOVE ME!)

STUDY THE PICTURES BELOW: PUT CHECK IN THE COLUMN FOR MOVE ME,
IF THE PICTURE SHOWS ACTION-REACTION, IF YOU THINK THE PICTURE
SHOWS BALANCED FORCES, CHECK THE YOU MOVE COLUMN.

OBJECTIVES:
State the Newtons Third Law of
Motion and identify ActionReaction Forces;
Distinguish Action-Reaction
forces from Balanced force
MATERIALS:
Letter
of
Permission,
Parents
Consent, 3 boats without engine,

PROCEDURE:
PREPARATORY ACTIVITY
Ask for a permission from the
School Principal and a parent
consent. Remind the students the
Precautionary Measures during the
Conduct of Activity.
Prior from the Actual Day of the
Activity, prepare the boats through
asking
the
permission
of
the
father/owner.(refer to figure 2)

FIGURE 2: SAMPLE OF BOAT (emotionatpeek.wordexpress.com)

ACTUAL ACTIVITY
The class should go to the Nearest Sea.
Divide the class, each group must have
5 members.
The group will choose 3 representatives
to ride on the Boat. Each group should
select a leader and secretary.
Assigned somebody to stay at the
starting line and he/she will be the one
to set the participants.
Once the Go signal is being said, the
representatives should start paddling

Continuation for Actual Activity:

Observe the acceleration of the boat when only 1
student is paddling the boat. How about when
there are 2, then 3 students? Compare their
accelerations.
The teacher will record the performance of the
participants.
Assigned student to stay at the finishing line. The
participants should CHASE each other to win the
Game.
The team who will reach the finishing line first will
be the winner.
Afterwards, secure the materials used in the
Activity before going back to the classroom.

ANALYSIS

Ask the following Guide Questions:

Q1. What caused the boat to move and reach the
finishing line?
Q2. What is the Action and the Reaction forces in
the activity?
Q3. The Action-Reaction Forces are Equal. Based
from the Activity, How are you going to testify
this?
Q4. What is the direction of the boat when you
push the water backward? How about when you
paddle the water forward?
Q5. Is the third Law of Motion is being applied in
the Activity? Support .

 Let us go back to the pictures from the Ignite,

If you Have Checked the column I Move,
Identify the Action-Reaction Forces, If you
have Checked the You Move column, Identify
the Balanced forces. Complete the table below.

From the Activity, you observed the similarities

and differences between the interacting forces
in terms of magnitude and direction. This
relationship is stated in Newtons Third Law of
Motion Law of Interaction.
KEY CONCEPT: THE NEWTONS THIRD LAW OF
MOTION STATES THAT IN EVERY ACTION,
THERE IS EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION

Action-Reaction Forces

Balanced Forces

Two forces are equal in size.

Two forces are opposite to
each other in terms of
direction.
Two forces have the same line
of action.
Action acts on one object,
while reaction acts on
another object.

Two forces are in equal size.

Two forces are opposite to
each other in terms of
direction.
Two forces act along the
same line.
Two forces act upon the same
object

Table 1: Comparing the Action-Reaction and Balanced Forces

Example: Juan is sitting the Chair.

Identify the Action-Reaction Forces
and the Balanced Forces.
Action- The force exerted by Juan to
the Chair.
Reaction-The force exerted by the
Chair to Juan.
Balanced Forces: The Normal Force
BECAUSE
THE
FORCES
ARE
EQUAL

GENERALIZATION:

Newtons third Law of Motion is the

Law of Interaction also known as Law
of Action-Reaction. It states that In
every Action there is Equal and
Opposite Reaction. Meaning to say,
the magnitude of the force is the
same and it is coming from the
note:
The Action-Reaction

ASSESSMENT
GOAL: Minimize Human Injuries during Car Collisions
ROLE: You are a Product Endorser
AUDIENCE: The High School Students
SITUATION: The School is celebrating the School Safety Month.
As a student, you want to share some tips to your schoolmates on
how to become safe in riding specially those houses which are
not walking distances from the School Campus. You are going to
encourage them to use and wear seatbelts.

PRODUCT:
Motion Advertisement: Comic Strip
In a piece long bond paper, the students should make an
advertisement through comic strip about the Significance of
using seatbelts as it relates to the Law of Interaction. The
characters should show actions to further demonstrate the
Newtons third law. The outputs will be pasted on the miniinformation board within the campus.
