IV. PROCEDURE

A. EXPLORE: DAY 1
Activity 1: Focus Question

WHAT I THINK

WHAT I LEARNED

Process Questions:
1. What is energy?
2. What are the types of energy?
3. How to identify energy transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy

A simple material such as balloon can actually demonstrate a physics concept. Gets your energy
following in this activity.
Materials: inflated balloon, 1/8 illustration board, box
Procedure:
1. Form a group with 10 members.
2. Form a line to the end of the playing area. The box wherein you will shoot the balloon should be placed
far away from where your group mates are lines up.
3. Do not use your hands in carrying the balloon, use the illustration board.
4. From the starting point, walk toward the box while bouncing the balloon using the illustration board.
The balloon should not fall lower than your head.
5. Once you are close enough to the box, shoot the balloon into the box. If you fail to shoot the balloon in
the box, you have to bounce the balloon again ( in place) three times and shoot.
6. Then get the balloon using your hand. Run back to he starting point and pass the balloon and the
illustration board to the next player.
7. The next player will repeat what you did.

Guide questions:
1. How were you feeling before the game started?
2. Why do you think the activity titled balloon-energy?
3. What made a team win the game?
4. How did you feel after the game?

B. FIRM UP: DAY2

Activity 2: A Green Energy Convection

You and your class will hold a green energy convention. You will create prototype machines that can
harness different kinds of energy, which can be used to fulfill a certain purpose ( such as energy for electricity,
for cooking, and for electronics).
Materials: shoe box, 1/8 illustration board or cardboard, adhesive tape, white glue, aluminum foil, chopstick or
thick barbecue stick, defrosted hotdog.
Procedure:
1. Position the shoe box so that the open side is on top.
2. Trace a parabolic curve along one of the longer sides of the box, and cut this out.
3. Cut a piece of illustration board that can cover the top.
4. Cover the top with white glue and stick the aluminum foil to cover the whole surface.
5. Cut two small pieces of illustration board, which can be used to support the barbecue stick, and then tape
these on the sides of the shoe box, near the middle where the curve is the deepest.
6. Go out into the sun and test where the light shines on your shoe box.
7. Puncture a hole on the same part of each cardboard support where you can stick the chopstick through so
that the light will shine on your hotdog.
8. Place your hotdog through the chopstick and start cooking.

C. DEEPEN: DAY 3

Activity 3: Fragile! Handle with Care

Objectives:
1. Observe kinetic and potential energy at work.
2. Identify energy transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa
3. Observe how the law of conservation of energy is applied.

Materials: object ( use something that can be suspended in air securely such as a wooden ball with a hook
drilled into it; avoid elongated objects), rope or sting strong enough to support the object, overhead support
(ceiling beam), fragile object (vase)
Procedure:
1. Make your pendulum. Tie one end of the string or rope on the object securely so it does not fall. Tie the
other end to the ceiling beam so the object is suspended and can swing freely.
2. Place the vase near the stationary pendulum.
3. Hold the pendulum and pull it toward the vas so it barely touches the vase. Make sure the string or rope
is straight and not sagging. See figure 2.5
4. Let go of the mass. Do not push.
5. Observe the pendulum swing.

Process Questions:
1. Why do you think the mass did not knock the vase down?
2. Kinetic energy (KE) means moving energy, whereas potential energy (PE) means stored energy (i.e., it
is present in stationary objects). Identify when KE and PE were present in the different positions in
swinging pendulum and label figure 2.6. The first number has been done for you.’
1. PE
2. ___ + ____
3. ______
 4. ______
5. ______
3. The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed. How do you think
his applies to the experiment? Can you use this to explain why the vase was not knocked down by the
object?

Activity 4: Problem solving

Potential Energy
1. A 60 kg person is suspended 10 m above the air in an amusement park ride. How much potential energy
does he have?
2. A 10 kg box has a potential energy of 2000 J. How high is it suspended?
3. A bird is perched on a tree branch 4 m above the ground, and it has a potential energy of 20 J. How
heavy is the bird?

Kinetic Energy
1. A 50 kg ice skater glides on the ice with a velocity of 10 m/s, backwards. What is her kinetic energy?
2. A dancer is moving across the dance floor at a velocity of 2m/s. if she is using 96 J of kinetic energy,
how much does he weight?
3. A gymnast weighing 45 kg expends 22.5 J of kinetic energy as she flips across the floor. How fast is she
going?

D. TRANSFER: DAY 4

Creating a Mini Wind Turbine

Materials: 1-L disposable plastic bottle, 500-ml disposable bottle, scissors, 50 marbles ( or you can use
small rocks or pebbles as substitute), construction paper ( or any paper that is a thick as construction paper),
tape, four nonbendable straws, two large paper clips, needle- nose plies, string or thread, white glue, small fan,
drill ( or hammer and nail that is ¼ ibch in diameter), washer.

Procedure:
1. Examine the diagram of a wind turbine. You will e building each part of =the wind turbine part by part
in this project.
1. Use the 1-L water bottle as the tower and foundation. Cut the neck of the 1-L water bottle and cut out a
holder for the 500 ml water bottle so that it can stay on the tower horizontally oriented.
2. Place the marbles or rocks inside the tower so that it is stable and has a strong foundation.

NACELLE
1. Use the 200 ml bottle as the nacelle. Drill or puncture a hole (1/4 inch in diameter) on the bottle cap and
on the middle of the bottle’s bottom. It needs to be enough so that the straw can spin smoothly through
it.
2. Set the nacelle on the tower.

ROTOR ASSEMBLY
1. Combine two straws together by inserting one into the other.\
2. Cut two identical figures for the rotor blades using construction paper. Clue the rotors on each side
of the combined straw. Make sure that they are facing the same way. Roll the blades over a straw so
that they curve in opposite directions.
3. Use the needle- nose pliers to make a T shape out of one of the paper clips. You will use this to
attach the rotor blades to the axle.
 4. Use the adhesive tape to stick the arms of the t-shaped paper clip to the middle of the combined
straw. Insert the remaining part of the paper clip inside another straw, and then tape this together.
This third straw will serve as the top part of the axle.

MAKING THE AXLE AND COMPLETING THE NACELLE

1. Create the bottom half of the axle. Inset a straw into the bottom hole of the 500 ml bottle by
pinching it so it is closed. Do not insert it too deep inside so that it stays closed. Hold it this way
while you insert the straw connected to the bottom T of the paper clip into the bottle cap.
2. Combine the bottom part of the axle with the top part. Insert the bottom part of the axle to the top
part. Do not push the bottom half of the axle all the way into the nacelle.
3. To complete the axle, unwind one loop of a paper clip, and then tape this to the bottom half of
the axle.
4. Cut the string so that it is an inch shorter than your tower. Attach the string to the paper clip by
double knotting it on. Attach the washer to the other end of the string.

Wind work!
1. Place your wind turbine in front of the fan and turn the fan on.
2. Watch the axle and the string and the washer up!

Process questions:
1. What are the uses of your machines?
2. Explain the following physics concepts are applicable to your project:
A. work
b. power
c. energy
3. Describe how your project shows that energy is transformed from one form to another?
