    The document describes two group activities related to physics concepts. The first activity involves constructing a toy that uses a twisted rubber band to power the rolling motion of a ball, in order to demonstrate potential and kinetic energy. The second activity involves measuring each group member's power output when climbing a flight of stairs, using calculations of weight, height climbed, and time taken. The document provides materials, procedures, assessment questions, and rubrics to guide and evaluate the group activities.

    GROUP ACTIVITY 1

    WEEK 3_DAY 3
    GROUP _____
    Date: _____________________________________________ Section: ______________________________
    Leader: ___________________________________________
    Members: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    ROLLING TOY
    Objective:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to explain how a twisted rubber band can do work and relate the work
    done to potential energy.
    Materials Needed:
    ▪1 clear plastic container with cover
    ▪1 rubber band
    ▪1 pc 3-cm round barbecue sticks
    ▪1 pc barbecue stick with sharp part cut
    ▪1 masking tape
    Procedure:
    1. Make a hole at the center of the cover and at the bottom of the plastic container.
    2. Insert the rubber band into the hole at the bottom of the container. Insert in between the rubber band the 3-cm
    barbecue stick. Tape the barbecue stick to keep it in place.

    3. Insert the other end of the rubber band into the hole in the cover. Insert a bead or a washer into the rubber band before
    inserting the long barbecue stick.

    4. You just made a toy. Twist the rubber band by rotating the long barbecue stick.
    5. Lay the toy on the floor. Observe it.

    Rubrics:
    CRITERIA POINTS
    1. Correct outcome of the experiment: 6 points
    2. Active participation and engagement: 4 points
    TOTAL: /10
    Assessment Questions:
    Q1. What happens to the toy?

    Q2. What kind of energy is ‘stored’ in the rubber band?

    Q3. What kind of energy does a rolling toy have?

    Q4. What transformation of energy happens in a rolling toy?


    GROUP ACTIVITY 1

    GROUP _____
    Date: _____________________________________________ Section: ______________________________
    Leader: ___________________________________________
    Members: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    HOW POWER-FUL AM I?
    Objective:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to compute your power output in walking or running up a flight of stairs.
    Materials Needed: meterstick or measuring tape, timer
    Procedure:
    1. Write the group members’ names in the first column of Table 1.
    2. Enter each member’s weight in column 2. To solve for the weight, multiply the mass (in kg) by the acceleration due to
    gravity (g=9.8 m/s2).
    3. Measure the height of the flight of stairs that you will climb. Record it on the table.

    4. Each member will walk or run up the flight of stairs. Use a stopwatch or any watch to get the time it takes for each
    member to climb the stairs. Record the time in the 4th column.
    5. Solve for the energy expended by each member. Record them in the 5th column of the table.
    6. Compute the power output of each member.

    Rubrics:
    CRITERIA POINTS
    1. Accuracy of measurement: 5 points
    2. Active participation and engagement: 5 points
    TOTAL: /10
    Assessment Questions:
    Q1. Who among the group members had the highest power output?

    Q2. What is the highest power output?

    Q3. Who among the group members had the lowest power output?

    Q4. What is the lowest power output?

    Q5. What can you say about the work done by each member of the group? Did each member perform the same amount of
    work in climbing the stairs?

    Q6. What factor/s determined the highest/lowest power output?
