III. PROCEDURES

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY LEARNER’S ACTIVITY

A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer

Who will lead the prayer? The assigned pupil will lead the prayer.
(pupils stand and pray)

2. Greetings

Good morning! Class Good morning! ma’am

Ma’am we are fine
How are you today?

I’m glad to see you again

3. Classroom Management

Before we start our discussion, make sure that

your chairs are arranged properly. Everyone sit Yes ma’am
and please minimize your voice so that we can
have a better interaction.

Do I make myself clear?

4. Checking of Attendance

Let me check first the attendance, please say The pupils will say present when they call their last
present when I call your last name. name.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Review

Before we proceed to our new lesson, let us

recall the previous lesson.
 Class, what was our topic yesterday? Asexual Reproduction po

What is asexual reproduction? Is a kind of reproduction which does not involve the
reproductive cells of the plants.

Correct!

What are the two reproduce asexual plant? Natural and artificial way po.

Very good class!

What are the natural ways of vegetative Root cutting, stem cutting, special stem and runner
propagation?

How about the artificial ways? Layering, Marcotting, Grafting and Budding

Are there any questions or clarifications No Ma’am

regarding our past topic?

Motivation
Before anything else class, let’s play “TUG OF
WAR”

Are you familiar with the game, tug of war? Yes Ma’am!

Mechanics in doing activity: Group the pupils into

two group. The team will be in the same edge of the
rope and start to pull each other.

What is the game that you did? Tug of war ma’am

What did you apply to win the game? Force

How do your movement differ? Because on our team, we put strong force than
another team
Very Good!

ACTIVITY

Before we finally proceed to our new lesson, let’s

have an activity. “LANDING A SPACESHIP
TARGET”

Now, what happened on your experiment? We are using the force to release the marble and the
marble landing on the target and make a motion.

In your opinion, why does the rock fall faster? Because of gravity ma’am

So, what do you think is our topic for today? - Force

- Gravity

Very Good!
 B. ANALYSIS

In your own idea what is gravity? Gravity is one of the universe’s fundamental forces
and dominates every moment of our conscious
Correct! experience. It keeps us close to the ground.

And according to Isaac Newton, gravity is a force

that attracts object to another object.

Please stand up and let us jump trice!

Why do you think when we jump, we are going Because of gravity ma’am
back to the ground and we’re not floating?

Correct!

I throw these two rocks, what did you observe? Their falling is faster

Correct!

Why do you think it is faster? Because of gravity ma’am since it closer to the earth it
pulls faster on the ground
Exactly!

Because earth and us are attracted to each other.

Gravitational pull factors are depended on mass,

shape, distance and air resistance.

Now if I will throw this ballpen and paper upward Ballpen ma’am
what is the first object that fall into the ground?

Why? Do you think there’s an effect on the weight Yes, ma’am because the heavier of the mass the faster
of a mass to the gravity? it falls.

Why do you think is the cause? Because of the gravity

Very Good! And it’s called gravitational. The

gravitational pull becomes stronger as we get closer
to the center of the earth.

How about these two paper the one is crumpled and The crumpled paper
the one is not. What do you think is the first will
fall?
Because the shape and air resistance
Why?

Precisely! Because shape affects gravitational pull

and air resistance is a force that is in opposite to the
relative motion of an object as it passes through the
air.

- Falcon
Base on the astronaut, David Randolph Scott when - Hammer
he is in the moon, he tests what object will fall
faster, the hammer or falcon’s feather? How about
you what do you think?
Because in the moon there’s no air
The answer is both. In your idea why it is both fall
faster?

Exactly! Gravity is a force that attracts an object to another

Gravitation and gravity are two distinct phenomena. object while gravitation is attractive effect that objects
Can you please read (the teacher calls the pupil) exert upon each other and both of them are natural
why is it gravitation and gravity are distinct phenomena and keep the members of the solar system
phenomena? in their orbits.

Very Good! - A. Keeping earth and the other planets in their orbits
around the sun
Did you know that gravitation is responsible for: B. Keeping the moon in its orbit around Earth
Please read (the teacher calls the pupil) C. The formation of tides
D. Convection by which hot fluids rise
E. For every existence of Earth, the sun, and most
macroscopic object in the universe.

Very Good!

Now let’s watch a movie about “WHAT CAUSES

TIDE”

Abstraction No ma’am, gravity is important in our daily life

because all aspect in our life we use gravity that’s why
Why do you think gravity is important? Can you we can walk, playing our favorite games all activity
imagine without gravity? that we did.

Exactly! Very Good Gravity is a force that attracts object to another

object.
Again, what is gravity?
Isaac Newton
Who introduced us the gravity?
Is the attractive effect that objects exert upon each
What is gravitation? other.

- A. Keeping earth and the other planets in their orbits

What is the responsible of gravitation? around the sun
B. Keeping the moon in its orbit around Earth
C. The formation of tides
D. Convection by which hot fluids rise
E. For every existence of Earth, the sun, and most
macroscopic object in the universe.

D. Application
Since you know well our topic for today let’s have
an experiment. I will group you into three groups
and each group have an assign task that they will do.
 Group 1: The Spinning Bottled Water

Group 2: Bottle Flip

Group 3: Water Defying Gravity
