B. Motivation
Do you want to play a game?

So, in this envelop it contain a

jigsaw puzzle picture. I will group
into four. What you will do is to
solve the jigsaw puzzle picture
and find out what is the hidden
word. The first group to form the
puzzle will be given additional
points. MOTION

What is the hidden word?

Very good!
It is all about MOTION.
C. Lesson Proper

Very good!
In what direction did it move? How

Which is the reference point?
That’s great!
So now, what do you think is
MOTION based on the diagram?

Correct!
We experience motion in walking,
running, jumping and swimming.
Can you name a sport that you
think doing motion?

So you already know that the

motion is defined as the change in
position for a particular time
interval. You can then start
describing motion with the
questions, “HOW FAR DID THE
OBJECT TRAVEL?” and “ HOW
FAST DID THE OBJECT MOVE?”
Motion can be describe by
distance or displacement, speed
or velocity, and acceleration.
Now let’s have an activity.
a. Divide the class into 4 groups.
b. Assign a facilitator, recorder, (Leader was given the rubrics by

 Speed is defined as distance

travelled divided by the time
of travel.
 Velocity is similar to speed
except that it not only tells
how fast or how slow a
motion is; it also indicates
the direction.
 The units of speed can be
miles per hour (mi/h),
kilometers per hour (km/h),
or meters per second (m/s)

Given: d i = 250 m; d f = 400

Solution: Speed= 250 m + 400 m

Speed= 32.5 m/min
For velocity: Find the displacement first.

G4:
 Acceleration is defined as
the rate of change in
velocity of a moving objects.
Martin rides a bicycle at 2m/s
south. 10 seconds later, he is
pedaling at 3m/s south. What is
Martin’s acceleration?

(The leader give their score for each of the

Let’s give 10 claps to each group.

(The teacher will discuss about
the presentation)
It is important to know the
. following about a typhoon:
-original position
-velocity
Do you have any questions? -acceleration
D. Application radius
The sample weather bulletin will
show you the importance of
knowing not just the speed of the
storm but also its direction. What
information is needed to track the
movement of a typhoon?

E. Generalization
What is Motion?
How about distance and
displacement?

Also the speed and the velocity?

And lastly, what is acceleration?

F. Evaluation: Multiple Choice

Directions: In a ¼ sheet of paper.
Choose the best answer and write
the letter only.

1. What do you call that refers

to the length of the entire
path that the object
travelled?
a. Distance
b. Displacement
c. Speed
d. Acceleration
2. It is defined as distance
travelled divided by the
time of travel.
a. Distance
b. Displacement
c. Speed
d. Acceleration
3. What do you call that refers
to the shortest distance
between the object’s two
positions?
a. Distance
b. Displacement
c. Speed
d. Acceleration
4. Why speedometer is
important?
a. because they need to
know how fast they are
going
b. because it shortens the
distance of a car
c. because it will divide the
time travel
d. because it will determine
the length of the entire
path
5. Which of the following is
NOT an example of unit of
speed?
a. km/h
b. mi/h
c. sec/min
d. m/s
V. ASSIGNMENT
Write it in a ½ crosswise.
Why are some people,
particularly children and young
adults, encouraged not to sit in
seats protected by an air bag?
