Science Quarter 3 Module 1: Effects of Force on Objects What I Need to Know
Force is important in our daily life. We use it in all of our
activities like walking on the road, lifting objects, throwing a ball, or moving objects to a particular direction. We use force in order for us to live and we apply it to different objects around us.
In this module, you will learn more about force and will know what happens to objects as force is applied to them. For you to learn these concepts, you will be performing exercises and activities which will enable you to explain the effects of force when applied to objects.
The lesson focuses on:
Lesson 1 Explain the Effects of Force when applied to an Object (S4FE-III a-1)
After going through this lesson, you are expected to be able
to: 1. determine the changes that happen to objects when force is applied to them; and 2. explain the effects of force on the shape, size and movement of objects.

you learn more about the lesson.
Lesson Effects of Force when 1 Applied to an Object . People and other living things cannot live without force. Force allows us to move our bodies and do our daily activities. We also apply force when we use different objects around us. A force acting on an object causes it to change in different ways. Do you want to know the changes that happen to objects when force is applied to them? In this module, you will be familiarized with and be able to explain the changes that happen to different objects due to the application of force.
3 CO_Q3_Science4_Module1 A. Directions: Identify the type of interaction among living organisms described in each statement. Choose your answer from the words in the box below. Write your answers in your notebook.
competition mutualism commensalism
predation parasitism
1. It exists when two different organisms benefit from one
another. 2. It is a relationship wherein one organism thrives at the cost of the host. 3. It happens when two organisms fight for limited food resources for survival. 4. It is a relationship wherein an organism survives by killing and eating another organism. 5. It happens when an organism benefits from the other without harming the other organism.
B. Directions: Describe the effects of the interaction among
organisms in their environment. In your notebook copy and complete the table below.
Organisms Effects of interaction to the
environment 1. bees and flowers 2. bird and tree 3. aphids and string beans 4. snake and rats 5. water plant and fish

Congratulations! activities about the effects of force.
7 CO_Q3_Science4_Module1 What is It
Points to Remember: A force is a push or pull, which occurs when two or more objects interact with each other. A force has amount and direction. Effects of Force on Objects The shape of an object may change when force is applied on it. Kneading a dough, pounding pepper, compressing cotton, bending wire, twisting rope, stretching rubber band, or squeezing rubber ball are some ways of changing the shape of an object. Also, when force is applied to an object, size may change. Some situations where force is applied and changed the size of objects are the following: dropping a glass, pounding garlic, cutting a paper, sharpening a pencil, and grinding papaya. The force applied on an object also affects its movement. Force can change the state of rest or motion of an object. An example is when your hand pushes a marble gently on top of a table. The ball then sets into motion. Now, if you keep your hand on the opposite side of the moving ball, the moving ball comes into a state of rest. Force can change the direction of movement of an object. An example is when a football player applies force by kicking the ball in different directions. Force can change how fast or slow the movement of an object is. The ball travels farther when the force applied to it is stronger and the ball travels nearer when lesser force is applied to it.
Now, I am glad you knew already that when a force is
applied to an object, the object may change its size, shape, or movement. 8 CO_Q3_Science4_Module1 Directions: Choose the word from the box that describes the action shown in these pictures. Write your answers in your notebook.
