MELCS: Explain the effects of force when applied to an object
Lesson 1: Effects of Force when Applied to an Object (Module 1- page 7)

A FORCE is a push or pull applied to any example of non- contact force is the gravitational
object. Forces can change the size, shape and/or force. Gravitational Force or simply gravity, is the
movement of objects. There are two main types of force through which Earth, the moon and other huge
force: CONTACT FORCE and NON-CONTACT objects attract other objects toward them. All objects

objects. An example of a contact force is applied downwards towards the center of the Earth. The
force. An applied force is a force that is used on an force of gravity is always equal to the weight of the
object by a person or another object. Whenever you object. Remember the heaviness of the chair? That

WEEK 2
MELCS: Explain the effects of force when applied to an object
Lesson: Effects of Force on Objects
The shape of an object may change when force is applied on it. Kneading a dough, pounding
pepper, compressing cotton, bending wire, twisting rope, stretching rubber band, or squeezing rubber
ball are some ways of changing the shape of an object.

Also, when force is applied to an object, the object’s size may change. Some situations where
force is applied and changed the size of objects are the following: dropping a glass, pounding garlic, cutting a
paper, sharpening a pencil, and grinding papaya.

The force applied on an object also affects its movement.

Force can change the state of rest or motion of an object. An example is when your hand pushes
a marble gently on top of a table. The ball then sets into motion. Now, if you keep your hand on the opposite
side of the moving ball, the moving ball comes into a state of rest.

Force can change the direction of movement of an object. An example is when a football player
applies force by kicking the ball in different directions.

Force can change how fast or slow the movement of an object is. The ball travels farther when
the force applied to it is stronger and the ball travels nearer when lesser force is applied to it.

ACTIVITY 2

Write TRUE if the statement is correct and

FALSE if it is not.
1. Without force, an object at rest will move.
__________
2. Without force, a moving object will not
stop. __________
3. Force can cause an object to be in
continuous motion only. __________
4. The stronger the force applied, the farther
the distance of the toy car travelled.
__________
5. The amount of force does not affect how
fast or slow the motion of the object is.
__________

Lesson: Safety practices involving force
Safety practices involving force must be observed everywhere, most specially in your houses. During
pandemic, it is also where you stay and spend most of your time. Games and physical activities you do
outside cannot be played inside your homes. If you do, what may happen? Accidents may happen. The house
is not a playground, and you must follow orders for you to be safe inside your house. For example, play with
your toys with care, make sure you return them into their proper places so that nobody would step on it.
Avoid playing “habulan” inside for you may bump into your vases and cabinets or appliances. Obeying rules
and safety reminder safety reminder signs in schools, parks and on the road will keep us safe and save our
day.

PERFORMANCE TASK 3: Draw/Cut/Print 2 signages at home, school or in the street that

show safety measures in physical activities. Write a sentence about it. Do it on bond papers.
Example:

Be careful when you are walking, you might slip on

the floor.

WEEK 5
MELCS: Describe how light, sound and heat travel
Lesson: Describing How Light Travels (Module 3, pages 7-8)
What is light?
Light is a form of energy. It travels very fast. In space, it travels about 300,000,000 meters
per second. Light always travels in a straight line when going through single medium. In some
media, such as air, light travels quickly. However, in water and in glass, light travels more slowly.
Different Types of Materials where Light passes through
 Transparent materials allow almost all of light to pass through them. Clear glass,
cellophane, glass window, eyeglasses, and magnifying glass are examples of transparent materials.
Translucent materials allow only some of the light to pass through them. Some light is
transmitted; the remaining portion is absorbed, reflected, and scattered. You cannot clearly see the
object behind it. Tinted windows, frosted glass, and wax paper are examples of translucent
materials.
Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through. They can form shadow. Wood doors,
cardboard, walls, and books are examples of opaque materials.

***Watch the videos uploaded in the FB page and group chat.

Activity 1: Classify the following objects. Write TP if it is transparent, TL if it is translucent, or O

if it is opaque.

MELCS: Describe how light, sound and heat travel

Lesson: Describing How Sound Travels (Module 3, page 9)
What is sound?
Sound is an energy produced by vibrations. When any material vibrates, it causes movement in the particles
which are called sound waves. These sound waves keep going until they run out of energy.

How does sound travel?

Sound waves travel at a different speed through different media. The sound wave causes the surrounding air
to vibrate. When the vibration is slow, slow-moving waves are produced. When the vibration is fast, fast vibration is
produced until such time that vibration stops.

The speed at which sound travels from one place to another depends upon the medium and how closely packed
the particles are in the material. A medium is a substance that allows sound waves to travel through it. In a vacuum like
the outer space, sound cannot travel so you cannot hear anything there.

As can be shown in the diagram below, sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through
liquids, and fastest through solids. Sound travels most quickly through solids because the molecules of a solid are
closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster. Sound travels slowest through gases because
the molecules of a gas are farthest apart. Sound also travels slower than light.

Activity 2: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is not.

_______ 1. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
_______ 2. Sound travels in solids, liquids, and gas.
_______ 3. Sound travels fastest through liquid materials.
_______ 4. Sound travels faster through solid materials than gas.
_______ 5. Sound is not affected by the medium through which it travels.
WEEK 6
MELCS: Describe how light, sound and heat travel
Lesson: How Heat Travels (Module 3, pages 13-16)
Activity 1: Identify how heat travels in each illustration whether it shows conduction,
convection, or radiation.

WEEK 7
MELCS: Investigate properties and characteristics of light and sound
Lesson: Describing the Properties and Characteristics of Light (Module 4, pages 8-10)

When light strikes a very smooth opaque surface, light bounces back in the same direction. The way
light bounces back are very much like the way a ball bounces back on a hard smooth surface. This bouncing
of light is called reflection.

This bending of light is called refraction. Refraction only happens when light moves from one
transparent material or medium such as in air to glass and in glass to water.

Rainbows are formed from the interaction of light and the rain drops. Below is a diagram of what
happens to light when it strikes a droplet. During rainbow formation, two things happen to the light:
refraction and reflection. Refraction happens as some of the sunlight enters the surface of the droplet. This
bends light and will initially separate them into different bands of light (colors) that will be reflected at the
back of the droplet. As the bands exit the raindrop, it will be further refracted into the order of colors
displayed in a rainbow arc. Sir Isaac Newton assigned the 7 different color division into the following order of
colors: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, and VIOLET (ROYGBIV).

Activity 1: Complete the statements below. Write your answers on the blank.
1. The bouncing of light is called _____________.
2. The bending of light is called ____________.
3. An object that is clear and almost all light can pass through it is called as _______________.
4. An object that is cloudy and only part of the light can pass through is described as
_______________.
5. An object that light cannot pass through is called as ______.
6. Light is made up of ______________ different colors bands.

PERFORMANCE TASK 3
Draw a rainbow with the colors of light in correct order. Do it on a bond paper.

WEEK 8
MELCS: Investigate properties and characteristics of light and sound
LESSON: Describing the Properties and Characteristics of Sound (Module4, pages 14-15)

The basic characteristics of sounds are pitch, frequency, volume and loudness. The pitch of a sound is the
highness and lowness of a tone. It is the response of the ear to the frequency of sound. The higher the frequency of the
sound produced, the higher is the pitch. The volume of a sound depends on how loud or soft it is.
A loud sound is made when an object vibrates fast, because a strong force is exerted on it. Strong vibrations
make loud sounds. When you clapped your hands stronger and faster you were making strong vibrations. When you
were also setting the radio/TV to the highest volume, the radio/TV was also making strong vibrations. When we turn up
the volume on the radio/TV, it causes the sound waves to vibrate with more energy and produces a louder sound.
A soft sound is made when an object vibrates slowly, because a weak force is exerted on it. Gentle vibrations
make quiet sounds. When you clapped your hands slowly and lightly you were making weak or gentle vibrations. When
you were also setting the radio/TV to volume one, the radio/TV were making weak vibrations. When we turn down the
volume on the radio/TV, it causes the sound waves to vibrate with less energy and produces a softer sound.
A sound wave travels at different speed through different media. As it travels, it often bumps into
objects it encounters. When sound encounters different materials like walls or carpets, it is either reflected or
absorbed. If it hits a hard smooth surface, the wave reflects. The sound wave that is reflected or bounces
back is called an echo. Echo is perceived reflected sound with enough time to be distinguished from the
original sound. Reverberation happens when the time interval is not enough. Reverberation is also
described as series or collection of echoes.
Ships and bats used echo in locating objects. Echolocation is the transmission of sound waves to
locate objects. Most species of bats rely on echolocation to help them find their food.

Activity 1: Which of the following produces a LOUD sound? Box them.

Activity 2: Write TRUE or FALSE
__________ 1. The medium travels with the sound.
__________ 2. Repeated echo is known as reverberations.
__________ 3. Ships and bats used echo in locating objects.
__________ 4. Sound waves carry different amounts of energy.
__________ 5. The stronger the vibrations of an object, the louder the sound.
__________ 6. Hitting an object harder or softer changes its volume/ loudness.
__________ 7. Echolocation is the transmission of sound waves to locate objects.
__________ 8. The bouncing back of sound when it strikes a barrier is known as echo.
__________ 9. Noise is any desirable sound which helps the activities of human or animal.
__________ 10. For sound from a speaker to reach a listener, air near the speaker must move to the
listener
