Identify the appropriate tools in measuring distance, time & speed of an object in motion. S5FE-IIIb-2.1 (Activity Sheet)

APPROPRIATE MEASURING TOOLS

Learning Competencies :  
The learners should be able to:
1. Identify the appropriate tools in measuring distance, time & speed of an object in motion. S5FE-IIIb-2.1
2.  Identify the standard units in measuring time, distance and speed of an object in motion.  
     S5FE-IIIb-2.2


Directions/ Instructions
Perform the experiment by following the procedures indicated below. Complete all the activities after.

Activity/ Procedure
  Materials:
ruler                                Tape measure                              meter stick

Procedure:
Read the steps in identifying the appropriate measuring tools 
1. First, think size of the object compared to units of measurement and different tools. 
2. Next, consider what unit would be most appropriate so you can determine the best tool. If it is so tiny that it needs to be seen with a magnifying glass, then it is probably smaller than inches and centimeters. The smallest unit to measure would be millimeters.
3. Then, match a tool with the unit you are using to measure the object. 
Example: What tool would you use to measure the length of a room?
a. First, picture the object in your mind or look at the space.
b. Next, think about what unit of measurement makes the most sense for measuring a wall. You can rule out very small units like inches, centimeters and millimeters. We can also rule out really large units like miles and kilometers. The most appropriate units are either feet, yards or meters. 
c. Then, determine which tool can be used to measure those units. Most tape measures contain both customary and metric units, but it's also important to think that yards and meters are quite similar so picking one or the other is appropriate. 
d. The answer is tape measure.

Let’s Study and Analyze
Direction:  Choose the appropriate measurement tool for each item listed below.
________ 1. A grub collected from the garden
________ 2. The width of a street

Remember This  
Tools for Measuring
Whether you are measuring the length of items using the customary system of measurement or the metric system of measurement, you will still have to decide which measurement tool is the best one to use.

Let’s Study and Analyze

Direction: Read and answer each problem.

1. You went on a car trip to a town in Nueva Ecija. It took you four hours to cover a distance of 284 kilometers. What was your average speed?

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

2. You covered a distance of 120 Kilometers at a speed of 60 km/hr. how long was your trip?

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Remember This  

The distance covered by a moving object is affected by its speed, or the measure of how fast it moves. The faster it moves, the shorter time it takes for it to cover a certain distance. 

Speed can be calculated by dividing the distance covered by an object in motion by the amount of time it used to cover the distance.

Which set-up reached the shortest? ______________________________________________ c. How long does it take the book to reach the floor? ___________________________________ d. What did you apply to make the objects move? _____________________________________ e. What did you use to measure the distance? ________________________________________ 4. Explain what distance is and how to measure it. Let’s Study and Analyze Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect. ______ 1. The standard unit of measurement of distance or length in metric system is miles. ______ 2. Meterstick, tape measure and sturdy rope are some of the standard tools in measuring distance. ______ 3. The measure of how far or near two points are from one another is called distance. ______ 4. The metric system of measurement of distance is used only in the Philippines. ______ 5. Ruler is the proper tool to measure kilometer. Remember This Distance is the measure of how far or near two points are from one another. Measuring distance helps in determining the effect of motion on the length covered by an object from one point to another point. Having a standard unit to measure makes it easier to understand other recorded data.

b. Which set-up reached the shortest? __________

c. What affects the distance reached by each toy car? Explain your answer. 

Let’s Study and Analyze
Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect.
______ 1. Motion is a movement brought about by force.
______ 2. The greater the force the slower the motion will be
______ 3. Motion is relative to the amount of force applied to the object.
______ 4. Motion is the change in position of an object.
______ 5. Even the Earth is moving because of gravity

Remember This  

Motion is a change in position with respect to a reference point. A reference point is a fixed place or object used to determine the position of an object. If reference point is the ground outside the car, the passengers are moving. If the reference point is the floor of the car, the passengers are not moving.
