This document outlines an activity for students to investigate how force affects the size and shape of various objects. It divides students into two groups - the Explorers and the Analysts. The Explorers will experiment by applying forces like bending, cutting, and tearing to materials like modeling clay, toothpicks, and egg shells. They will record the effects in a data table and analyze their observations. The Analysts will observe recycled products made from materials like straw, paper, and yarn. They will analyze how forces changed these materials and were used to make the recycled products. Both groups will then present their findings.

1. THE EXPLORERS
Group Members:
Leader: (encourages everyone to cooperate, supervise the work, leads all to
brainstorming)
_________________________________________________________
Secretary: (take notes of important details, prepares report/ results of data)
_______________________________________________________
Reporters: (present the work of the group to the class accurately)

Materials’ Monitor: (get/return materials from the teacher, lead all members to
clean the area after the activity)

Activity 1. “How does force affect the size and shape of an object?”
What you need:
Pencil egg shell modelling clay toothpick foil paper
Scissors plastic bottle styro cup sharpener cracker
biscuit
What to do:
1. Prepare the materials needed for the activity.
2. Think creatively of ways that you can do to change the size and shape of
each material.
3. Perform the action that you have thought for each of the material. Be
careful in doing the activity. Ask the help from your teacher to make sure
that you will not hurt yourself or others.
4. Record the actions done and the effects of force applied on each
material in the data table.
5. Return all the materials used and clean your working area after finishing
the activity.
6. Copy your answer from the data table to the tarpapel provided for your
presentation of the results/ reporting

Activity 1. “How does force affect the size and shape of an object?”
What you need:
Recycled materials- made of straw, paper and yarn
What to do:
1. Observe the recycled materials assigned to you
2. Analyze how each finished product was made.
3. Describe the changes that happened to each material after force was
applied to it.
4. List down the differentactions done to the material on the Data table.
5. Accomplishthe data table and copy the results to the “tarpapel”
provided for the presentation.
6. Prepare for your group reporting
