COMMONWEALTH HIGH SCHOOL

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY


SY 2020-2021

GRADE (JHS) : 8
QUARTER 1: FORCE, MOTION AND ENERGY WEEK: 2
MELC: Identify and explain the factors that affect potential and kinetic energy.
Learning Competencies: The learners should be able to identify situations in which work is done
and in which no work is done. (LC Code: S8FE-Ia-16)

Topic/ Activity No./Title of Activity: (be particular): WORK


Specific Objectives:
a. identify situations in which work is done and in which no work is done
b. explain the conditions to illustrate that a certain situation has done work
c. show participation in the class activity.

Brief Descriptions:
Work is done if the object you push moves a distance in the direction towards which you are
pushing it. In common terms, work is simply any activity being performed by an individual. In scientific
language, work is the product of a force applied to an object and the parallel distance of the movement
due to the force. If there is no distance covered, no matter how hard you exert a force, it is assumed
that no work has been done. The force is just used to counteract the force of gravity when lifting an
object. However, even the presence of a force and a resulting distance is not an indicator that works
has been done. The resulting distance should be parallel to the applied force. It means that the
directions of the force and the distance covered should lie on the same line. Pushing or pulling an
object that causes it to move from one position to another is an example of work.

Instructions/Procedures:

Tell whether the situations shown below represent examples of work. Identify the one doing the
work and on which object the work is done. Briefly explain your answer in each scenario.
