III. Learning Task

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT'S ACTIVITY

A. Preparation
a. Prayer
(The teacher will instruct the student
to lead the prayer)

“Before we proceed to our lesson,

may I call someone to lead the
prayer?”

“Student A can please lead the

prayer"
In the name of the father, the son, the
holy, spirit… Amen
 b. Greetings

“Magandang buhay!”
“Mabuting tao!”

c. Checking Attendance

“Class monitory is there any absent

in class? (Student answer may vary)
“Sir, there is no absentees for
today”
"Wow! No one is absent today.
Great!”

d. Review

“What topic did we discuss

yesterday?”
“Yes student O!”
“Our topic yesterday is all about
velocity.”

“Okay, very well. Our topic

yesterday is about velocity”

“What is velocity?”
“Velocity is identifying the rate of a
moving body and the direction of
motion.”
“Very Good. You recalled our past
lesson”

B. Motivation
“So, to start with today's lesson you are
going to answer some questions.”
“Okay Sir.”
“Okay! Let’s Start!”

“please read question number 1”

“Yes student A”
“Q1. When a train starts moving
from a platform, what does its speed
increase or decrease?”
“What is the answer?”
“Yes student B”
 “Sir the speed will increase”
“Correct”

“What about number 2, please read”

“Yes student C”
“Q2. What happens when a airplane
land at the airport?”
“What is the answer?”
“Yes student D”
“Sir the speed of the airplane will
gradually decrease”
“Correct!”

“What about number 3, please read”

“Yes student E”
“Q3. A cyclist moving through a
busy street, when his velocity
increases, what does it call?”
“What is the answer?”
“Yes student F”
“Sir he is said to accelerate”
“Very Good”
“What about number 4, please read”
“Yes student G”
“Q4. What does it call when cyclist’s
speed decreased?”
“What is the answer?”
“Yes student H”
“Sir the cyclist is decelerating”
“Very Good”

C. Lesson Proper

“What we did earlier has something to do

with our lesson for today.”

“Do you have an idea what will be our

lesson for today?”
“Yes Sir. Our lesson for today is all
about Acceleration.”

“Correct, Our topic for today is all about

acceleration”

“Student A, will you please read what is

acceleration?”
 “Acceleration is a vector quantity
like velocity.”

“ It refers to the rate of change in

speed or velocity of an objects”
“Okay!”
“In other words velocity gives us an idea
how quick an object speeds up or slows
down.”

“But how and when can we say an object is

accelerating? Please read.”
“Yes student I”
• The speed of an object is
changing
• Change of direction
• Change of speed and
direction of an object
“Those are the 3 factors that we consider if
an object is accelerating.”

“Student J, please read the next slide.”

“An increase of velocity and speed is
called positive acceleration, while a
decrease in speed or velocity is
called deceleration”
“Okay! This means that acceleration does
not always need an increase on an objects
speed or velocity”

“What is the formula of acceleration? Please

read.”

“Yes student K”
“The formula of acceleration is:

“In symbols,

Where:
 a = acceleration
Vf = final velocity
Vi = initial velocity
t = time”
“The SI Unit of acceleration is
and m/s/s.”
“Okay! Now that you know the formula of
velocity”

“You can compute for the car acceleration

using the equation.”

“Student L will you please read the

problem.”

“Find the acceleration of a car that

starts at rest and speed upon the 25
m/s in 4 seconds moving East.”
“Who wants to answer?”

“Yes student M”
Given: V=25 m/s t= 4 seconds
Formula:

Solution:
= 6.25
Final Answer: a= 6.25
“Correct!”

“How about this problem. Please read.”

“Yes student X” “A lizard accelerates from 2m/s to
10m/s in 4 seconds. What is the
lizard’s average acceleration?”
“Who wants to answer?”
“Yes student Q” Given: Vf = 10 m/s
Vi = 2 m/s
t = 4 seconds
Formula:

Solution:

=
=2
 Final Answer: a= 2
“Very Good! Correct!”

D. Generalization

“Any questions?” “None Sir!”

“Are you sure?” “Yes Sir”
“Okay, since all of you understand or lesson
I will ask some question.”

HOTS-SOLO TAXONOM- Unistactural

“How do we get the acceleration?”
“Yes, Student E” “Sir to get acceleration we need to
find the change in velocity and divide
it on the time.”
“Very Good!”

HOTS-SOLO TAXONOM- Unistactural

“how and when can we say an object is
accelerating?”
 The speed of an object is
“Yes, Student F”
changing
 Change of direction
 Change of speed and
direction of an object
“Well said!”

“Is there any question or clarification about “None, Sir”

our topic?”

“Okay, Very Good”

E. Application

Direction: Solve the acceleration of the

given problem on a clear sheet of paper.
1. A car accelerates from rest to a
speed of 36 m/s in 20 seconds. What Given: V=36 m/s t= 20 seconds

Solution:
= 1.8
 Final Answer: a= 1.8

2. A bicycle accelerates from rest to a

speed of 24 m/s in 6 seconds. What
is the acceleration of the car? Given: V=24 m/s t= 6 seconds
Formula:

Solution:
=4
