Momentum Lesson Plan
I. Instructional Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to;
discuss momentum and the change in momentum;
perform laboratory activities about free fall;
relate impulse and momentum to collision of objects
A. Review
What have you observe if you aim the The ball will fall exactly toward the
cannon exactly 90˚? cannon.
Correct!
Very Good!
B. Motivation
What have you observed from the The car and a truck collide to each
animation? other.
That’s right!
What happen to the velocity of the two The car gains there initial velocity with
bodies after collision? the truck that leads to zero velocity for
the truck.
Very Good!
Very Good!
C. Discussion
That’s right!
Very Good!
Very Good!
For example:
A bowling ball whose mass is 4.0 kg is
rolling at a rate of 2.5 m/s. What is its p=m*v
momentum? p= (4.0kg)*(2.5m/s)
p= 10 kg m/s or newton
Very Good!
Very Good!
F=ma
Since 𝑎 = 𝑣𝑓−𝑣𝑖 𝑡 ,
then
F = m(vf– vi) / t
Rearranging the equation will give you
Ft = mvf – mvi
Since p = mv,
then Ft = pf – pi or
Ft = Δp
Very Good!
IV. Application
To ponder what you have learn in
momentum and impulse, we’re going
to perform an activity
A. Pre-laboratory
Before we begin the activity, please
listen carefully to the instruction.
1. Each of you will be pair by two.
2. After the activity, each group
should present the outcome of
their experiment.
3. You will be rated by the
following criteria
A. Presentation 30%
B. Performance during the activity
30%
C. Result 30%
D. Written output 20%
B. Laboratory Proper
Materials Needed:
1 raw egg Clear plastic bag where an
egg can be inserted Piece of cloth /
large handkerchief
Procedure:
1. Look for an open space in your
school where you can perform this
activity.
2. Place the raw egg inside the clear
plastic bag and tie the plastic bag
securely. This is needed to prevent
the egg contents from splattering in
case the egg breaks.
3. Depending on the number of
students, form two teams comprising
of pairs of students. Each pair should
have one large handkerchief
or“bandana”.
4. The two opposing teams must be at
least 3 meters away from each other.
The objective of the game is to have
the eggs travel back and forth from
each team to the other without
breaking the egg. The players are only
allowed to throw the egg in a curved
path.
5. The players are not allowed to use
their hands in throwing and catching
the egg. Instead, they will use a cloth
or handkerchief.
6. The players toss coin to determine
who goes first.
7. The pair who fails to catch the egg,
and/or breaks it, is considered out of
the game.
8. The teacher may want to increase
the distance by 1 meter between the
two teams in order to make the game
more interesting and challenging.
9. The pair who is able to catch and
throw the most number of eggs
without breaking would be declared as
01/17/2017
the winner.
C. Post-laboratory
This time you are going to discuss the
findings of your activity. Each pair will
present their observation from the
activity
Q1. Was the handkerchief able to
protect the egg from breaking?
Q2. Did the egg break immediately
when it hit the ground?
Q3. How was the impact force
lessened by the use of the
handkerchief?
Q4. How was the handkerchief able to
protect the egg from breaking? If a
different material was used to catch
the egg, say, a piece of wood, will the
egg break or will it not?
V. Assessment
Students will be graded base on their
activity output and report.
VI. Assignment
Research about;
1. Conservation of momentum.
2. Elastic and inelastic collision.
