IV. PROCEDURES TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

Preliminary Activities Good morning class! Good morning ma’am!

Before you take your seats kindly pick up the pieces of (The students will

properly and pick up
the pieces of papers.)

Alright! How are you today? We’re fine ma’am.

That’s good to hear. Is there any absent today class? None, ma’am.

Very good!

To formally start the lesson, I have 3 class rules.

1st Sit Properly and pay attention.

2nd Participate during activities
3rd Refrain from going out the classroom

Do you understand my rules?

So, let’s proceed. Yes, ma’am.

Before the Lesson Last meeting, Mrs. Sarmiento already tackled the

Very good! Before we proceed to the next topic.

I have a sample problem here. Who can answer the

Jerry walked from home to school, then from the

school to the park. What is his total distance?

a. 2 km

b. 5 km

c. 8 km

d. 10 km

A person walks 50 meters directly north, stops, and

then travels 32 meters directly south. What is their
displacement?

a. 82 meters

b. 18 meters

c. 28 meters
B. Establishing a (The teacher will introduce the lesson through a

lesson (ENGAGE)

What can you say about the video? Car, Ma’am.

Yes, Very good! What can you notice about the car? The car is travelling at
a high speed.

I have a picture here.

What can you say about this picture?

Velocity, Ma’am.

V__O__T_

Very good. Our topic for today is all about speed and
velocity.

Speed is the distance traveled in a given amount of

time.

Speed = distance
Time
Speed with direction is referred to as Velocity.

C. Presenting Before we start our discussion let’s have first a

examples/instances group activity.
of the new lesson
(EXPLORE) I will group you into three groups.

Alright! Gather your groupmates and assemble

into your respective seats.
Please settle down and listen to my instructions.

This activity is good for 15 minutes only.

For our activity today please be guided by the

following objectives. These objectives are
important for you to obtain at the end of the
discussion.
1. Differentiate speed from velocity.
2. Compute the speed and velocity of a
moving object.

Materials:
 Stopwatch
 Meter stick

Procedures:
1. Consider one corner in your classroom
as a reference point.
2. Using a meterstick measure the length
of path you are going to follow as shown
in the figure below.

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

3. Ask other groupmates to stay at the

other corner and record the time (in
 seconds) it takes you to walk from end
to the other.

4. Record the result of your activity.

5. Calculate the speed by dividing the
distance travelled by the time elapsed.
Express this speed in meters per
second (m/s).

You can now start doing your activity.

VALUING: Working with a group allows students to

pool their ideas and see problems from different
perspectives, it also creates more opportunities for
critical thinking. Aside from that, group activities can
help improve student’s social and communication
skills.
Based from the poster it says that in a solid, molecules
are packed together and it keeps its shape. Can you
give me an example of solid?

D. Discussing new Presentation of the Output

skills #1 (EXPLAIN) We will now begin the presentation of the
output you develop during the activity.

Let us start from group 1. Let’s hear the

Alright let us give group 1 a round of applause.

Let us give group 3 a round of applause.

Alright, you all did a great job. So now, let us

discuss our lesson for today which is speed and
velocity.
F. Developing The activity that you did has something to deal
Mastery with speed and velocity.
(ELABORATE)
If you were asked to describe the speed of a
moving bus, you would probably say it is “slow” or
“fast” In science, the best way to describe how
fast an object moves is to give the distance it
travels in a given time travel. This is called speed.
Speed is defined as a
So, what is speed? measure of how fast an
object moves.
Very good! It is a rate of distance traveled by an
object per unit of time.

In your activity, what group represent speed?

Group 1
Very good! Now, what is the equation in finding Speed = distance / time
the speed? v=d/t

That’s right. If the average speed and the total

time elapsed are known, the total distance
traveled would be

Total distance traveled =average speed x total time elapsed

d= vt

Now, let have a problem solving. Let’s find the

speed.

What is the average speed of a

person running 100m in 30s?

Who can solve the problem? Given:

d=100m
Alright, please go to the board and solve for the t= 30s
v=?
speed.
Solution:
100m/30s = 33.3 m/s

Yes, Ma’am.

Is it correct?

Let’s have another example.

 If a car moves with an average
speed of 50km/hr, how far would it
travel in 5 hr?

Who can solve the problem?

Alright, please go to the board and solve. Given:
v=50km/h
t= 5 hrs
d=?

Solution:
(50km/h) (5h) = 250km

Yes, ma’am.
Is it correct?

Remember that since most objects do not travel

with constant speed it is better to describe their
speed as average speed, where, average speed
is the ratio of the total distance travelled to the
total time of travel.

Is that clear? Yes, ma’am.

Velocity is the ratio of

Now, if speed is the ratio of the distance travelled displacement to the
to the time of travel. How about velocity? time of travel.

Group 2
In your activity, what group represent velocity?

Very good! Now, what is the equation in finding Velocity = displacement /

time
the velocity?
v=d/t
So, the total displacement would be
Total displacement = average velocity x total time elapsed
d= vt

Now, let have a problem solving. Let’s find the

velocity.

Jessa went on a long walk. She walked 10 km Yes, Ma’am.

East in 2 hours and then 8 km West in 1 hour.
Velocity, Ma’am.
What is the velocity of Jessa?

Solution:
So, velocity = displacement/total time scalar quantity
V = 10 km – 8 km vector quantity
2 hr + 1 hr
Group 1, because the
group walked in a

Between speed and velocity, which must be Group 2 and 3 since

completely expressed with a magnitude and group walked in a
direction? straight line path and
changes its direction.
That’s right. What type of quantity is speed?
What about velocity?
 Very good! Again, in your activity which group
represents speed and why?

That’s right. How about which group represents

velocity and why?

Any questions? Clarifications?
