Learning Area: Science Quarter: 3rd Quarter

Lesson No.: 5 Date:

Lesson Title/ Topic: Motion (Speed or Velocity)

Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity No.5.1: How fast can you run? (30 minutes)

II. Objectives
After this activity, you should be able to:
1. measure how fast can you run
2. demonstrate teamwork in gathering data.

III. Materials
1 stopwatch or wristwatch 1 meterstick
1 short wooden stick 2 big stones or any markers
Ash, sawdust, powdered chalk yarn

IV. Instructions
A. Preliminaries
1. Class will be divided into 4 groups/ teams.
2. Each team should have runners, watchers, a timekeeper, and a recorder with a notebook
and pen.
3. Each team places two stones (or any marker) 20 m apart. One member of each team
makes a straight line from one stone to the other by using any of these materials (ash,
sawdust, powdered chalk, or yarn). Use a stick marker if teams are playing on the
grassland.
4. The recorder makes a table similar to Table 5.1. The recorder places as many rows as
there are runners in the team.

B. Activity Proper
1. Half of the runners of each team position themselves at the starting point (stone 1) while
the other half on the other point (Stone 2).
2. When the teacher gives the signal to start the activity, the first runner of each team
(point 1) runs along a straight line from stone 1 to stone 2. As soon as the first runner
starts to run, the watcher calls out “READ,” and the timekeeper notes the time.
3. As the runner steps on stone 2, he or she gives the stick to the next runner. At the same
time, the watcher calls out “READ.” The timekeeper notes the time and the recorder
records it on his or her table. (The recorded time is the time it takes a runner to go from
stone 1 to stone 2 or stone 2 to stone 1.)
4. As soon as the next runner receives the stick, he or she should run from stone 2 to stone
1. The timekeeper, the watcher, and the recorder repeat what they have done as
accurately as they can.

 5. Continue playing until all of the runners have their turn. When the game is finished,
the recorder of each team writes the data on the blackboard.

Lesson No.: 5 Date:

Lesson Title/ Topic: Motion (Speed or Velocity)

Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity No.5.3: Average Speed (30mins)

II. Objective(s):
After this activity, you should be able to:
1. measure the average speed of vehicles passing the school zone,
2. compare the speed of vehicles, and
3. demonstrate teamwork in gathering data.

III. Materials Needed:

25 m string
5 stopwatches or wristwatches per group
5 flags or handkerchiefs

IV. Instructions:

1. Select a street around the school where there are vehicles passing by.
2. If you are using wristwatches, synchronize the time of the five watches.
3. Mark the starting position. Assign one member to stand at the starting position.
4. Measure 25 m distance from the starting position and assign another member to stand
at this position.
5. Repeat step 2 for the 50 m position, 75 m position and 100 m position.
6. Select and time a vehicle that passes your positions as follows:
a. Start position – indicate the vehicle being timed by waving the flag or handkerchief
as the vehicle crosses the start position.
b. 25 meters position – begin timing at the “Start” command and stop timing as the
vehicle crosses the 25 meter position.
c. 50 meters position – begin timing at the “Start” command and stop as the vehicle
crosses the 50 meters position.
d. 75 meters position – begin timing at the “Start” command and stop as the vehicle
crosses the 75 meters position.
e. 100 meters position – begin timing at the “Start” command and stop as the vehicle
crosses the finish line (100 m position).
7. Record your data on Table 2.1
8. Do step 6 two more times.
9. Calculate the average speed traveled by the vehicle.
