 Lesson
1 What is Motion?
There are many things around us, and everything seems to be moving. From the
time we wake up until the time we go to sleep, we are constantly in motion. This will
always be a part of our daily lives.

But how can we say that someone or something is in motion? In this lesson, you
are going to learn more about motion and how it can be determined.

What’s In
Everything around us moves. The air we breathe, water flowing, a leaf falling, all
exhibit motion. We live in an environment that is in a constant motion. The basic unit
of non-living thing that is the atom is in constant motion, too. It can either be slow or
fast.

Forces initiate objects that are at rest and influence those that are already in
motion. By applying, force – a push or a pull, it causes an object to move, to change
direction, or to stop. Not all forces cause motion. Some forces, like gravity and
friction, resist or work against it.

What’s New
Force and Motion
We defined motion as movement of an object brought about by force. When there
is movement, there is motion. Force affects motion of an object in different ways. It can
make the object move faster, slow down, completely stop the object, change its
direction, and/or change the size or shape of an object.

Activity 1.0
CoIdentify how force affects motion.

OBJECT IN MOTION EFFECT OF FORCE ON AN

OBJECT IN MOTION
1. The bus driver hits the break to
full stop.
2. A basketball was thrown against
the wall.
3. The wind carries an immobile
sailboat to the open sea.
4. A speeding car slows down along
a road hump.
5. The motorbike ran from 40 kph
to 100 kph.

 What is It

Motion is Relative
All motions are relative to a reference point. The observed motion may appear
different depending on which frame of reference it is being observed from. For example,
when a ball is at rest, it means that it is not in motion. It is being described with respect
to a reference point, the ground at which it rested.
What may be in motion for you may be at rest for someone. A reference point is
used to determine if someone or something is in motion or not. A reference point is a
fixed point or object with respect to which a body changes its position. Study the
picture. Are the children moving?
An onlooker may say that the children are
moving because they are inside the bus which is
changing its position because the bus is moving.
However, the children inside the bus may not consider
themselves moving because they are just sitting on the
bus.
If the reference point is the road, then we can say that
the buildings, the trees outside the bus, and the
children are moving. But if the reference point is the
bus floor or the bus seat, the children are not moving.

Activity 1.1.
Study the picture. Using the reference points, determine if the SCHOOL BAG is in
motion or not and put a check ( ) on the appropriate column.

Lesson Motion in Terms of Distance

2 and Time
How fast is your car moving? Will my car get there faster than yours? Who will reach the
top of the mountain without sweating? It is easy to decide which of two things are moving faster
if they are in a race. The faster one will run the course in a shorter time than the slower one.
But it would be another thing to describe, in general terms, how fast or how slow an object
moves. In this lesson, we will try to measure motion in relation to distance and time.

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you have learned that forces can make things move. By applying force,
movement of an object may occur. Motion may also be described differently by two observers
depending upon the reference point they used. A reference point is important in understanding
motion because it serves as a basis for which the movement of an object can be related to. An
object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing. Thus, through a reference
point, one can tell whether an object has moved or not.

What’s New
What is Distance?
Motion is usually described in terms of change of position from the original
position. As an object moves from one position to another, the total path traversed is
called distance.

Activity 2.0
Study the illustration. Arjay, Arvie
and Darren are classmates. Arvie used
to drop by his classmates’ houses before
going to school. Which way will take him
a shorter path in going to school? Would
it be passing by Arjay’s house or passing
by Darren’s house? Why?

 What is It
Relationship Between Speed, Distance and Time
Distance is a measure of how much of the ground an object has covered without
any regard to direction. It can be a straight line between two points. Length is one of the
most measured linear distance. There are different tools to measure length. Common
measuring tools include ruler, meterstick, tape measure, and caliper. In the metric
system, the standard unit of measuring distance or length is meter (m). The prefix kilo
(k) is added when the distance is quite far.
The distance covered by a moving object is affected by its speed. In a given time,
the faster an object moves, the greater the distance it covers; and the slower the object
moves, the lesser the distance. Thus, speed refers to how fast an object is moving.
The relationship between speed, distance, and time can be expressed in the
following formula:

Take note, that speed only takes into consideration the distance covered and the time
elapsed. For example, meter (m) as the unit of measure for distance, second (s) or hour
(h) for time, the unit of measure for speed is meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per
hour (km/h or kph). To illustrate, let us take this sample problem.
If a man walks 10 meters in 5 seconds, what is its speed?
Given: distance = 10m
time = 5s
Find: speed
Solution:
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 10𝑚 𝑚
𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 = = = 2 or (2m/s)
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 5𝑠 𝑠
Activity 2.1.
Solve for the speed and show your solution in your notebook.
1. A train travels 350 kilometers in 5 hours. What is the speed of the train?
2. What is the speed of a boat that travels 150 meters away from the shore in 30
seconds?

What’s More
Calculating Distance and Time
Example 1:
Reden bought a new car. He drove the car with his family from Makati to
Batangas at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour for 3 hours. How far did he travel?

Given: Speed = 60km

Time = 3h
Find: distance
Solution:
Distance = speed X time
= 60 km/h
X 3h hour (h) is cancelled both for speed and
180km time, thus kilometer (km) is retained as unit
of distance.
6
Example 2:
How long does it take to travel 100 kilometers at 20 km/h?

Given: distance = 100km

Speed = 20km/h
Find: time
Solution:
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 100𝑘𝑚
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 = = = 5h
𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 20 𝑘𝑚/ℎ
kilometer (km) is cancelled both for
distance and speed, thus hour (h) unit
is retained as unit of time

Activity 2.2
Solve each problem in your notebook and show your solution.
1. Dianne took a 5-hour bicycle trip. She travelled with a speed of 24kilometers/hour.
How far did she travel?
2. Chezka had her morning jog along a 6-kilometer portion of the Global Circuit Grounds
with a speed of 2 kilometers/hour. How long did she jog?

What I Have Learned

1. Speed is a measure of the distance travelled in a given period of time. It can be
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
expressed as: 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 =
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒
2. Distance is the shortest, linear length between two points. It can be expressed
as: Distance = Speed X Time
3. Time is a quantity measured during which a motion happens. It can be
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
expressed as: 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 = 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑

 Lesson
Materials that are Good Conductor of
1 Heat and Electricity

What’s In

Hello guys! You have learned from the previous module how changes in
position and condition can affect the way objects move. You also learned how to
describe the motion of an object by tracing and measuring its change in position
at a given time. Forces need to act upon an object to keep it moving, or to change
its direction. For example, when an electric charge is applied to a metal, the
electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through.
In this module, you will learn what type of materials are good conductor
of heat and electricity and why some materials are good conductors of heat and
electricity, while others are not.

What’s New

Some materials allow electricity and heat to flow easily through them and
are called electrical conductors or heat conductors. It allows electricity and
heat to be transferred from particle to particle. Some materials do not allow
electricity to pass through them. They are called insulators.

Activity 1.0 Conductors vs. Insulators

Note: In doing this activity, supervision of an adult is needed. Prepare the following
materials:
• mug • pencil
• hot water • twisted aluminum foil
• metal spoon • copper wire
• plastic spoon • twisted paper
1. With the assistance of an adult, pour hot water into the mug.
2. Dip the lower part of materials in the mug at the same time.
3. After one minute carefully touch the upper tip of each material.

3. Which among the materials are poor conductors of heat or insulators?
_______________________________________________________________________
4. What make these materials good insulators?
_____________________________________________________________________________

What is It

Materials which are good conductors of heat are also good conductors of
electricity. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, but some metals
are better than others. When you peel off the rubber or plastic coating of an
electrical wire, you will see copper wire inside. This metal is widely used for
electrical wiring because they are ductile and are good conductors of electricity.
Copper wires are covered with plastic or rubber coating that makes electric wire
much safer to handle.

CONDUCTOR INSULATOR

Do you ever wonder why cooking pots and pans are not made of plastic or
even wood? Cooking pots and pans are made up of metals such as aluminum,
copper, iron, or made of alloys or mixture of metals such as stainless steel
that make cooking faster because these substances allow heat to be easily
transferred from the flame to the food being cooked. However, the handles are
made of wood, plastic, or rubberized material because these are insulators that
will not allow heat to freely flow to your fingers and burn them.
Other substances like iron, gold, silver, brass, bronze, mercury, nickel,
and water are also conductors of heat and electricity.

EFFECTS OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY ON PEOPLE AND OBJECTS

Heat is a form of energy that plays a vital role in all aspects of life and the
environment. No life on earth would be possible without the presence of heat
that comes from the sun. For example, plants rely on the sun to transform it’s
energy into a chemical energy which is later used in plant’s activities. Sunlight
is also used to warm people and animals as well as their surroundings.
In addition, heat is also important in our daily life such as warming the
house(heater), cooking, heating the water, drying the washed clothes, ironing of
clothes, and disinfecting bedroom sheets and cooking utensils. Many industries
make used of heat for manufacturing products such as ceramics, paper, glass,
steel, iron, plastics and many more. Heat that comes underneath the earth
produces electricity which is called geothermal energy.

 Lesson
Materials that Block, Absorb or
1 Transmit Light

Light is one of the most important forms of energy. It is the source of all
life on earth. It helps us see the things around us, enjoy the beauty of nature,
and sustain life on earth through the process of photosynthesis. The light that
human can detect with our eyes (known as “visible light”) is a tiny fraction of all
the light that exists. When light ray strikes an object, it gives an effect on the
object. Likewise, when light rays strike on people, it also gives an effect on them.

What’s In

In your previous lessons, you have learned the importance of light to

organisms. Light is the main source of energy for all living organisms. Without
light, the Earth will be very cold and dark, and there will be no other form of life.
However, light is not only limited to sustain life on Earth, but it also interacts
with matter, that is, both living and non-living things.

In this module, you will learn the type of materials that can reflect,
transmit, or absorb different amounts and wavelengths of light. You will also
learn what will happen when light strike an object and the effects it will have on
people and object.

What is It

Look at the leaf. You see a green color because the light that strikes the leaf is
reflected into our eyes, and we see the color green. So, what is light? Light is a form of
energy that comes from a source called the light source. There are two (2) types of light
source: natural sources and artificial sources.
Natural sources of light refer to those that occur naturally such as sunlight,
moon, stars, lightning, fireflies, and others. Radiant heat or natural light may cause
cracked and discoloration to the surface of the objects. Artificial lights are human-made
and come from sources like fire, candlelight, gaslight, electric lamps, and so on. The
artificial light has effects on people in increasing the risks for obesity, depression, sleep
disorders, diabetes, breast cancer, and more.
When artificial or natural light strikes an object, it could be blocked, absorbed,
and is converted to heat or be reflected or be transmitted. These objects can be
categorized in their ability to block, absorb, and transmit light as to opaque,
transparent, and translucent materials.

What’s More

Opaque materials block the light that passes through them. They do not allow
the light to transmit. Some examples are cabinets, plywood, thick curtain, etc. The
blocking of the light forms a black image of the object called shadow. The shadow
formed depends on the distance and direction of the source of light.
Transparent materials transmit light. It allows the light wave to pass through
them. When a material transmits light, the light is being transferred to another object,

3
falls on the object, and is reflected to our eyes. Clear glass, plastic cover, and face
shield used during COVID-19 pandemic are some examples of transparent materials.
Translucent materials allow only a little amount of light to transmit. Thin cloth
and white shirts are some examples of this. Light is scattered or diffused and is not
clearly reflected to our eyes.

Activity 1.1 Materials that can Absorb, Reflect or Transmit

Materials:
Procedure:
• flashlight
1. Set the experiment in a dark room.
• cardboard
• handkerchief 2. Turn on the flashlight.
• clear plastic
• paper 3. Place the object in between the flashlight and the wall.
• notebook 4. Do the same procedure for the rest of the objects.
• eyeglasses
(Note: If you are in an open area, you may use a big box, put
the objects inside it and do the experiment.)

Record your observation on the chart below:

A. Materials that B. Materials that do C. Materials that allow

allow light to pass not allow light to some light to pass
through them pass through them through them

What I Have Learned

1. Light is an important form of energy that comes from the sun, moon, stars,
lamps, and fire.
2. Light can be blocked, absorbed, or transmitted through materials.
3. The ability to transmit light is characterized by translucent and transparent
materials.
4. Transparent materials transmit light. It allows the light wave to pass through
them.
5. Translucent materials allow only a little amount of light to transmit. Light is
scattered or diffused in these materials.
6. Opaque materials block the light that passes through them. They do not allow
the light to transmit.
7. The artificial light can cause obesity, depression, sleep disorders, diabetes, and
breast cancer.
8. Natural light helps our skin absorb vitamin D for stronger bones, prevents
various diseases, gains more weight, and reduces heart disease. But too much
exposure to natural light will increase the chances of having skin cancer.

 Lesson
Effects of Sound to People and
1 Objects

What’s In

You have learned from the previous module about the ability of the
materials to block, absorb, or transmit light and its effect. In this module, you
will learn about how sound is produced by objects and transmitted to people. As
we go through this module, you will also learn the beneficial effects of sound to
people and the environment.

What’s New

Sound is a form of energy that is produced as a result of the vibrations of

an object.
Sound travels in different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). It travels in
the form of waves. It is measured in decibels. The intensity of sound is usually
measured using the perception of a normal hearing person. Sound travels faster
in solid objects than other states of matter. It plays a vital role in our everyday
lives such as helping us to communicate with our family members, friends,
classmates, teachers, and others. We talk and express ourselves by using sound.
We hear and listen to others with the help of sound.

What is It

The impact of sound to people may happen in different dimensions. It can

affect our minds and spirit. Sound engages the senses of hearing and even our
somatic and sensory perception. When we are listening, the sound wave first
reaches the outer ear then to the inner ear where it is converted into
electrochemical signals that can be delivered to the brain by the auditory nerve.
The brain will then interpret the signal which then triggers relevant reactions.

1
 HOW DOES SOUND TRAVEL?

Like light, sound travels through the air waves, but unlike light, sound is
not made of lots of tiny particles. When something makes a sound, like you
clapping your hands, it’s because when you clapped your hands, it shook the air
molecules a little further away from your hands, and they shook the air
molecules next to them, and so on, until the air molecules inside your ear were
vibrating and the ears of people around you. When the air molecules inside your
ear begin to shake, they wobble tiny hairs inside your ear that are connected to
nerves under your skin. If your ears are working, these nerves then send
messages to your brain to tell you that you heard a noise.

"https://assets.pinterest.com

These waves of vibration are called Sound waves. We can measure sound
by its frequency and pitch. If a noise has a high pitch, it will have a higher
frequency, which means the sound is vibrating very fast. If it has a lower pitch,
the frequency is also lower, and the sound waves are father apart, because the
sound isn’t vibrating as much

Let us try!

Give five examples of the effects of sound in our everyday lives.

 EFFECTS OF SOUND

What’s More

Sound is a form of energy produced and transmitted by vibrating matter.

It travels in longitudinal waves and move faster through solids than liquids and
gasses.

Sound waves travel faster through solids because the particles are closer
to each other to transfer the vibration.
Do you know that sound is all about vibrations coming from the sources?
It can be very fast, repeated, backward and forward movement of particles of
matter. For example, the vibration of a tuning fork creates a pure sound while
that of hammering makes noise.

- It needs a medium to travel.
Sound is useful in our daily life. These are some of the uses:
- for communication
- for entertainment
- used in education, hospitals, and offices
- for diagnosing patients’ illnesses
- Biologists used the science of sound to figure out how animals
can communicate over long distances when we cannot even hear
them doing it.
- warns us of trouble
