Define what is motion S5FE-IIIa-1.1 (Activity Sheet)

MOTION

Learning Competencies :  
The learners should be able to:
1. Define what is motion  S5FE-IIIa-1.1
2. Realize the importance of reference point in understanding motion S5FE-IIIa-1.2
3. Identify the activities that involve and do not involve motion.

Activity/ Procedure  

Materials: Three identical small toy cars                                Tape measure

                                   Three rubber bands 

Procedure:
1. Look for a flat and smooth surface in your school grounds.
2. Mark a starting point and a finish line on the surface. Measured at least 2-meter distance.
3. From the starting point, place the toy cars down.
4. Push the toy car using the rubber bands in the set-ups:
       a. set-up 1 – stretch the rubber band for 1 inch and hit the toy car.
b. set-up 2 – stretch the rubber band for 2 inches and hit the toy car.
c. set-up 3 – stretch the rubber band for 3 inches and hit the toy car.

5. using the tape measure, measure the distance from the starting point to the point of reach of each toy car. Follow the format below:
set-ups distance (cm)

set-ups	distance (cm)
1
2
3

6. Answer the following questions:
a. Which set-up reached the farthest? __________
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.

Challenge

Direction: Name FIVE (5) examples of motion you are doing inside the classroom. Identify the reference point and what kind of force was being applied.            Example: pulling a chair – pulling – the reference point is the floor. activities pulling or pushing reference point 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
