The document outlines activities for teaching students about motion and reference points through visual representation and group work. It emphasizes understanding motion in terms of distance traveled and displacement while providing structured activities to foster engagement and learning. Students will also create a roadmap from their home to an evacuation center as a performance task.

1. Learning
SCIENCE is
FUN

2. ROUTINARY ACTIVITIES
Organized Yourselves
Attendance
Opening
Prayer

3. ENGANGE
What can you see in the picture?
Which object is in MOTION?
In Scientific definition of Motion, does this picture
illustrate a MOTION?
Motion is defined as a change in position with respect to a
reference point or origin.
When something is moving, then it is in
Motion?
Agree or Disagree?
Does the boat, dog, girl and boy has it
reference point or origin?

4. DESCRIBING MOTION
LESSON:
1. Describe the motion of an object through its reference point
using visual representation;
2. Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance travelled
and displacement.

5. 5 – MINUTE ACTIVITY
Rules:
Please proceed to your respective groups silently.
Instructions for the activity is written in the Activity
sheets. The group Secretary is responsible for the
distribution of the A.S.
The secretary will write the group’s ideas in a manila
paper.
After 5 min., each group reporter will present their group
work.

6. Activity 1.1: Describing motion through its reference point using visual representation.
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN
-15cm -10cm -5cm 0cm
5cm 10cm 15cm
What is the position of the dog?
What is the position of the tree?
What is the position of the dog with respect to the house?
What is your basis in giving its position?
What is the position of the tree with respect to the dog?
What is your basis in giving its position?
How did you describe the position of the object?

7. Activity 1.2: Describing motion through its reference point using visual representation.
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN
0km 1.7km
3.4km 5.1km
0min 6 min. 12min.
18min.
What is the initial position of the boat?
What is the position of the boat at 12 min?
At what time is the position of the boat equal to 1.7km?
What is the total distance travelled by the boat to reach
its destination?
How did you describe the motion of the object?

8. Describing motion of an object by GIVING its EXACT
LOCATION/POSITION entails
Two ideas:
1. Describing how far the object is from the reference
point.
2. Describing its direction relative to that reference point
in a given time interval.
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN

9. A Reference Point is a place or an object used for
comparison to determine if something is in motion.
 Starting Point / Origin of Motion
What is a REFERENCE POINT?
An object is in MOTION if it changes its position
relative to a reference point for a particular time
interval.
Thus, the initial position of the object serves as its
reference point.
When can we say that an object is in motion?
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN

10. 1. By measuring the total length of the path travelled by
the object.
Two ways to find out how far the object travel?
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN
2. By measuring the distance between the initial position
and final position.

11. Activity 2.1: Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance travelled and displacement.
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN
What is the distance between the dog and the house?
What is the displacement of the dog moving towards
the house?
5m 5m
Reference Point
What is the distance between the cyclist and the
house?
What is the displacement of the cyclist moving
towards the house?
Do they travelled the same DISTANCE?
Do they have the same DISPLACEMENT?

12. Activity 2.1: Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance travelled and displacement.
EXPLORE & EXPLAIN
10 m
5m
Reference Point
10 m
What is DISTANCE?
 It is the total length of the entire
path that the object traveled in
moving from one place to another.
 Scalar Quantity – Magnitude only
Ex. 25 m
 Standard unit is METER (m)
What is the total length
traveled by the dog?
dt = d1 + d2 + d3
dt = 10m + 5m + 10m
dt = 25 m
What is DISPLACEMENT?
 The shortest distance between the
object’s initial and final positions.
 Vector Quantity
Magnitude &
Direction
Ex. 10 m, North
 Standard unit is METER (m)
 Value can be Positive, Negative or
Zero
Find the Displacement of
the dog?
d = final position – initial position
d = 5m – 0
d = 5 m, South

13. ELABORATE
YES, this can happen when the path travelled is a
STRAIGHT LINE.
Distance = 5.1 km
Displacement = 5.1 km, West
5m
Can displacement be equal to distance?
5.1 km

14. ELABORATE
NO, because Displacement is the shortest length
between the initial and final position.
5m
Can displacement be greater than distance? Why?
5.1 km

15. ELABORATE
Distance = 5.1 km x 2
d = 10. 2 km
5m
What if the boat in the illustration go back to its starting position,
what will be its total distance? What will be its displacement?
5.1 km
Displacement = final – initial position
đ= 5.1 km – 5.1 km
đ = 0

16. EVALUATE
A tourist wants to visit Lakawon Island. Therefore, she needs to ride a boat at the Cadiz
Viejo Port. The picture shows 2 ways on how to reach the Cadiz Viejo port where she can
ride a boat.
Path 1
Path

13m
 What is the length
of the entire Path 1?
 Which Path is the
shortest?
 What is her
displacement?
