A. Introduction 45 minutes Protecting and conserving intertidal zones and estuaries are vital to our
Panimula environment. Can you give some of the things you should do as Grade five
students to contribute in protecting and conserving water resources and
other living organisms in the inter tidal zones and estuaries?
Write down on a piece of paper your answer. Your answer will be checked
upon submitting your notebook in the day of retrieval the of
modules/notebooks.
In this lesson, you need to:
1. Elucidate the meaning of motion of an object by tracing and tracing
its change in position over a period of time;
2. Compute the measure the movement of an object in terms of
distance and time; and
3. Carry out the value of having a reference point when understanding
motion.
Look at the picture below:

Questions:
1. What does the children do in the picture?
2. Do you know what do you call to that traditional Filipino
game? 3. Do you experience to play patintero with you
friends?
4. What are you going to do in order to win in the game?
5. Do players need to move while playing the patintero? Why is it
important to move around and let the tin be fell on the ground after it
was hit by the opponent player?
Body movements in any games are necessary to play the game properly
and of course to win. Motion and energy are relatively important in our
daily life. Motion and energy work together to make things easier for us.
Through the help of force , motion can be achieved. Without motion, we
cannot do work and enjoy life. Life is so boring without any movement or
any motion in it.
By definition, motion is a change of position with respect to its reference
point. A reference point is a fixed place or an object used to determine
 the position of the object.

B. Development 45 minutes The activities that you are going to perform will clearly describe what
Pagpapaunlad causes the object to move. Also, you will measure the distance covered
by a moving object which is affected by its speed, or the measure of how
fast it moves.
A. Prepare the materials listed below. If not available, you may use other
materials at home to perform the activity. You may ask the help of your
parents/guardians or any adult members of the family if needed.
Title: Movement and Motion
Materials:
Small ball notebook large hardbound book masking tape Toy car
ruler (cm) marker pen
Procedures:
1. Mark a spot on the floor with a masking tape. Label it as Point A.
2. Place the small ball on point A, then blow on it.

 3. Using a ruler, record the distance in centimeters if the ball moved away
from point A or if it did not move at all.
4. Place a toy car on point A, then blow on it. As much as possible, apply
the same amount of force applied on the ball.
5. Using a ruler, record the distance in cm if the toy car moved away from
point A or did not move at all.
6. Place a notebook on point A, then blow on it with the same amount of
force applied on the ball and the toy car.
7. Using a ruler, record the distance in cm if the notebook moved away
from point A or did not move at all.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 7, but thballis time, push the ball, the toy car, and the
notebook with your fingers. Record your observations. 9. Repeat steps 1
to 7, but this time, use one side of the hardbound book as a ramp (45
degrees inclination). Label its highest point as A. Put the ball, toy car, and
notebook one at a time without applying any force. Observe what will
happen to the ball, toy car, and notebook. Record your observations.
10. Make a table like the one below to record your observations. Put a
check ( ) mark if there was movement after force was applied.
Objects to be
Blowing Pushing Placing on a

Ramp
Ball
Toy car
Notebook
Questions:
1. Which action causes all the objects move?
2. Why do you think this action causes movement?
3. Which among the objects is the hardest to move? Why? 4. Which
among the objects is the easiest to move? Why? 5. What is the
importance of point A in determining the movement of the objects?
B. Prepare the materials listed below. If not available, you may use other
materials at home to perform the activity. You may ask the help of your
parents/guardians or any adult members of the family if needed.
Title: Measure It!
Materials:
3 books of equal thickness marble
2 rulers of the same size metric tape measure
Procedures:
1. Position the rulers together on a book with a distance from each other
that would fit a marble. The rulers would serve as a ramp for the marbles.
2. Release the marble between the rulers. Measure in centimeters the
distance covered by the marble. Take note of the time in seconds as the
marble travels.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for trial 2.
4. Put another book on top of the first book. Repeat steps 1 to 3.
5. Put another book on top of the two books. Repeat steps 1 to 3.
6. Record your measurement in the table in the next page.

Trial 2

Length traveled by

the marble in cm
One book (setup A)
Two books (setup B)
Three books (setup C)
Questions:
1. What setup resulted to the shortest distance traveled by the marble?
Why do you think the marble traveled the shortest distance with this
setup?
2. What setup resulted to the longest distance traveled by the marble?
Why do you think the marble traveled the longest distance with this
 setup?
3. How can measuring distance help us in comparing things in motion?
4. What is the effect of height on the distance a marble travels from a
ramp?

5. What is the speed of the marbles in Trial 1 and 2?

Remember this:
Pull or push as part of exerting force may also relative on the distance on
the object when it is move from one point to another. However, distance is
the measure of how far or near two points are from another. It can be
measured using different ways such as time, landmark or body parts.
For example, when you are going to school the distance of the school
from your house is two kilometers away and you spend one hour of
walking just to get there in your school. This may not validate that you
spent less time going to school that going to church which is far apart
from the school. There are factors to be consider like traffic or winding
road that can be affected your travel time.
Therefore, there are appropriate tools and ways to measure distance so
that you can tell whether the object is near or far. Distance is measured by
using tools such as meter stick, tape measure, measuring wheel and
ultrasonic distance measurer.
On the other hand, the distance covered by a moving object is affected
by speed, or the measure of how fast it moves. Speed of an object can be
calculated by dividing the distance covered by an object in motion by
the time spent to cover the distance.
Speed= distance covered or s= d
time t
For example: Geros traveled 5 meters away with her bike from her house
going to plaza in 120 seconds.
In getting the speed of Geros’ bike, following the formula stated
above: Speed= 5 meters
120 seconds
Speed = 0.42 meter per seconds
The speed of Geros’ bike is 0.42 m/s from her house to the plaza.

C. Engagement 45 minutes A. Name at least 5 of your daily activities and describe how motion takes
Pakikipagpalihan place.

Activities Involving Motion How does motion take place ?

B. Analyze and solve the problems. Then, fill in the table with the needed
information.
Problems Distance Time Speed
 1. A cyclist travels 200 kilometers in 8 hours.
What is the speed of the cyclist?
2. A mouse runs a distance of 2 meters in 15
seconds. What is its speed?
3. A car travels 300 kilometers in 5 hours.
What is its speed?
4. A man runs 108 kilometers in 3 hours. What
is his speed?
5. A tricycle drove to a passenger’s house
that is 20 meters away from the station in 10
minutes. What is the speed of the tricycle?

D. Assimilation 45 minutes Remember that in describing the motion of an object by tracing and
Paglalapat measuring its change in position (distance travelled) over a period of time,
you need to take value on the importance of having a standard unit of
measurement in determining the distance between two points.
Knowledge in conversion is also necessary to get the speed of a moving
object.
Can you try to solve this word problem?
