IV. PROCEDURES Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting the
new lesson
ELICIT
- Ask the following questions to the students:
A. When can we say that an object is in motion?
B. How do we describe the motion of an object?
- Answers of the students may vary.
B. Establishing a purpose
for the lesson
ENGAGE
- Have the Activity # 1 – Where is it?
- In this activity, students should be able to describe in words the
position of an object within the room or the school ground.
- Post the following questions on the board:
A. Were you able to find the object? Was it easy or difficult?
B. Is the instruction clear and easy to follow? What made it so?
- Give each student piece of paper that describes where he/she will
find the object.
Ex. “Turn and it is there.”, “It is from here to there.”
- Then, have the students answer the posted questions on the
board.
- Get the object so that the students will know what the object is.
And put the object back where it is located.
- Let the students revise the instruction (the one that is written on a
piece of paper you gave them) to make it more helpful. Then ask,
what other details or information you included in your instruction
that made it clearer and easier to follow?
- Question A:
(Learners are supposed to have a hard time in finding the object.)
- Question B:
The instruction is not clear. There should be anotherobject where we can
refer to or compare the position of the object.
- The distance of the object and its direction from the other object are added
C. Presenting examples/
instances of the new
lesson

2. - Emphasize that the object or anything that is used as the basis to
find the location of the object is also referred to as the Point of
Reference.
- Let the students define point of reference in their own words and
its importance.
- Guide the students in describing motion through visuals like
diagrams and graphs.
- In using diagram, consider the diagram below. The positions of
the objects are described in the diagram by their coordinates
along the number line.
- Let the students answerthe following questions:
C. What is the position of the dog?
D. What is the position of the tree?
E. What is the position of the dog with respect to the house?
F. What is the position of the tree with respect to the dog?
- Give other examples. In this diagram, the positions of the ball
rolling are shown at equal intervals of time. Use the diagram to
describe the position of the ball at any given time.
G. What is the initial position of the ball? What is its final
position?
H. What is the position of the ball at 10 seconds?
I. At what time is the position of the ball equal to 5 meters?
- Guide the students in describing the motion of the ball using
motion graphs.Let them fill up table 1.
- Plot the values in table 1 on the graphing board.
(Note that time is plotted on the X-axis while position is plotted
on the Y-axis)
to the instruction.
- A point of reference is something that seems steady that is used to
compare the position of an object.
- Question C:
The position of the dog is at -10 m.
- Question D:
The position of the tree is at 5 m.
- Question E:
The dog is 25 meters to the left of the house.
- Question F:
The tree is 15 meters to the right of the dog.
- Question G:
The initial position of the ball is at 0 m. its final position is at 15 m.
- Question H & I: 10 m & 5 seconds.
Table 1. Position of the ball vs time
Time (s) Position of the
ball (m)
0 0
5 5
10 10
15 15

3. - At what time will the ball reach 20 meters?
- What is the position of the ball at 7.5 seconds?
- At what time is the position of the ball equal to 12.5 meters?
- 20 seconds
- 7.5 meters
- 12.5 seconds
D. Discussing new
concepts and practicing
new skill #1
EXPLORE
- Start describing motion with the question, “How far did the dog
travel?”
- Emphasize that there are actually two ways to answer this
question. First is by getting the total length of the path travelled
by the dog. So based on the figure, the dog has travelled a total of
25 meters. The other way is by measuring the distance between
the initial position and final position of the dog. Based again on
the figure, the dog has travelled 5 meters to the south.
- Emphasize also that in Science, the first measurement gives the
distance travelled by the dog (represented by broken lines) while
the second measurement gives its displacement (represented by
continuous line).
- Give more illustrations showing the difference between distance
travelled (represented by broken lines) by an object and its
displacement (represented by continuous lines).
- 25 meters
E. Discussing new
concepts and practicing
new skill #2
F. Developing Mastery EXPLAIN - Encourage the students to answerthe following questions and use
these questions as points for discussion.
A. What have you noticed about the distance and the
displacement in the given examples?
B. When can displacement be equal to distance?
C. Can displacement be greater than distance? Why?
D. What if the ball, the car, and the dog in the illustration go
back to their starting positions, what will be their total
distances? What will be their displacement?
A. Displacement always follows a straight line. Distance does not always
follow a straight line.
B. When the path travelled is a straight line.
C. No, it can be shorter but it cannot be greater than the distance. Because
displacement is the shortest length between the object’s point of origin and
its point of destination.
D. Their total distances will increase two times (will double) but their
displacements will become zero.
G. Finding practical
applications of concepts &
skills in daily living
ELABORATE
- Define distance and displacement.
o Distance refers to the length of the entire path that the
object travelled.
o Displacement refers to the shortest distance between the
object’s two positions, like the distance between its
point of origin and its point of destination, no matter
what path it took to get to that destination.
- Discussion of distance-time graph and displacement-time graph.
o When a graph is plotted in terms of the distance
travelled by the object and the time it took to cover such
distance, the graph can be called distance-time graph. If
the graph is plotted in terms of displacement and time, it
is called displacement-time graph.
- Refer to the graph.
H. Making generalizations
& abstractions about the
lesson

4. - What is the displacement of the object after 2 seconds?
- What is its displacement after 6 seconds?
- How will you describe the motion of the object between 0s and
2s, between 2s and 4s, and between 4s and 6s?
- 2 meters
- 0
- Between 0s and 2s, the object is moving.
Between 2s and 4s, the object is at rest.
Between 4s and 6s the object returns to its original position.
I. Evaluating Learning EVALUATE Checkup quiz!
- The arrows represent the different distances covered by the
students.
1. Who among the students covers the longest distance?
2. And who has greatest displacement?
Answer:
1. Student C (12 meters)
2. Student C (8 meters)
J. Additional activities for
application or remediation
EXTEND Activity # 2 - My Home to School Roadmap
- In this activity, a student should be able to make a roadmap that
shows how he/she get to school fromhis/her house.
- Discuss the mechanics to the students.
- Guide Questions:
o What is the total length of your travel from your house
to your school?
o What is the total displacement of your travel?
