III. Materials Needed: ruler and pen

IV. Instruction
Study the map below by familiarizing the location of your HOME and SCHOOL. In the map,
there are two public roads from your home to school.

Guide Questions
1. By using a strip of yarn, measure the length of each road from your house going to the
school. Then lay-over the measured yarn to ruler or tape measure. What is the distance
from home to school on Road A and Road B? Which is longer?

 2. If you will make a new road going to your school, where will it be? What will be your
considerations? Draw your own road by using a broken line from your home going to
school. What is the length of that new road? You cannot pass if there are trees or other
forms of barriers along the road.

3. Assuming that you were late in the class during the 3 rd periodic test, and you are aware
that both roads A & B will take 15 min to travel going to school. Will you take the new
route (your answer in number 2) or will follow road A or B?

4. In the map, the remaining area having trees is strictly in private possession. Meaning to
say outsiders are not allowed to enter that area. Since you are late in class, would you
take that shortcut? Why or why not?

 As a student residing in an island community composed of islets and traveling via motorboat
to school, you are aware of the challenges posed by the water bodies between the islets. Upon
becoming the mayor of the municipality, you are presented with the opportunity to address
the transportation challenges faced by the community. One of the potential solutions to
improve connectivity between the islets is the construction of bridges. As the mayor, how
would you approach the planning and design of bridges to connect the islets in a sustainable
and effective manner, taking into consideration the unique environmental conditions, the
need to maintain waterway access for boats, and the safety of the residents and visitors?

Comprehensive community plan in island school:

Lesson No.: 4 Date:
Lesson Title/ Topic: Motion (Distance or Displacement)

Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity No. 4.D: Displacement and Distance (20 minutes)

II. Objective(s):
After this activity, you should be able to:
1. describe the motion of an object in terms of distance and displacement
2. calculate the distance and displacement of a moving object.

III. Materials Needed:

String or ruler
Paper and pencil

IV. Instruction: Follow the instructions given and compute the total distance travelled by the
characters.

SARIG and GAYON were two immortal siblings living from the faraway place called the
Liway-un. To prove their abilities, their parents, Makusog and Dawani decided to send them to a
place named ALBAY and challenged them to solve five different tasks related to energy and motion.
Sarig and Gayon were transformed into human forms and each of them was also given an amulet
to communicate and return home to Liway-un. The two soon set off on their journey to visit the
wonderful locations in Albay in one day.

CHALLENGE ONE: DISTANCE and DISPLACEMENT

The first challenge for Sarig and Gayon was to

differentiate distance from displacement in terms of
magnitude and direction and then calculate the distance
and displacement of a moving object.

Once they reached Albay, Sarig and Gayon each

acquired a device called a “smart phone” and located all
the tourist destinations in Albay by using Google Maps.
However, being a powerless human, they found it hard to
compute the distance they will travel from one tourist
spot to another. They were sad and clueless!

Sarig and Gayon must be able to travel to Albay

safely and accurately. They need your help. Are you ready
to travel with them all around Albay? Let’s go!

 SARIG’s Task

Sarig decided to visit the following tourist spots: He started his journey in Ligao City Proper to
Hoyop-hoyopan Cave to the Ligñon Hill Natural Park and finally back to Ligao City Proper.
For the first challenge, he would like to know how far he needs to travel in the entire course of his
journey.

Science Quarter 3 9
 GAYON’s Task
Meanwhile, Gayon planned to go to three (3) different tourist destinations in Albay. She
wanted to know how far she will travel from Ligao City (Point A) to Japanese Tunnel
(point B) then to Peñaranda Park (point C) and finally to Mayon Rest House (point D).
Gayon learned through Google the following distances from one tourist destination to
another (See the map below):

Science Quarter 3 10
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
Answer the following questions.
(Note: Use a ruler in measuring the length of path travelled by Sarig and Gayon. Then, convert
the measured length using a scale: 1cm = 2km.)

A. SARIG’s Task
1. Using the map of the path traveled by Sarig, how far do you think will travel from point A to B
to C in kilometers?
