Lesson Plan: Forces and Motion in Grade 4 Science

Grade Level: 4
Subject: Science
Duration: 1 hour
Learning Objective: Students will identify and describe different forces acting
on objects and represent these forces using arrows to indicate direction.

Materials Needed:

Whiteboard and markers


Chart paper
Markers and colored pencils
Rulers
Various small objects (e.g., toy cars, balls, books)
Force card set (cards with different forces: push, pull, gravity, friction,
magnetism)
Worksheets for assessment (force diagrams)
Scissors
Glue

Standards Alignment:
Philippines State Standards

Introduction (10 minutes):

Begin by engaging the students in a brief discussion about their everyday


experiences with forces. Ask questions like "What makes a ball roll?" and
"How can we move a book across the table?"
Introduce the concept of forces by explaining that a force is a push or pull
that can change the motion of an object. Write the definitions of "push" and
"pull" on the board.
Show examples of natural forces like gravity and magnetism, and explain
their effects on objects. Use simple language and relatable scenarios to
illustrate these forces.

Direct Instruction (15 minutes):

Explain the different types of forces acting on objects:


Push: when you apply force away from you
Pull: when you apply force towards you
Gravity: the force that pulls objects toward the Earth
Friction: the force that opposes motion between two surfaces
Magnetism: the force that attracts or repels certain materials
As you introduce each force, draw corresponding arrows on the whiteboard
to visually represent the direction and magnitude of each force. Ensure each
arrow is clearly labeled.
Discuss the importance of arrows in representing forces, emphasizing that
the direction of the arrow shows where the force is acting and the length of
the arrow indicates the strength of the force.

Guided Practice (15 minutes):

Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students. Provide each group with a
set of small objects (toy cars, balls, etc.) and a set of force cards.
Instruct the groups to select one object and apply different forces to it (e.g.,
push, pull).
Ask the groups to work together to create a force diagram for their selected
object on chart paper. The diagram should include:
An illustration of the object
Arrows representing the forces acting on the object (including direction and
strength)
Labels of the forces applied

Instructions for Group Work:

Choose an object and place it on a flat surface.


Decide on the forces to display (e.g., If you push the toy car, show the push
force as an arrow pointing away from the car).
Measure the strength of the force (you can use a ruler to determine the
length of the arrow).
Draw the arrows carefully on the chart paper using their assigned colors
(different colors for different forces).
Prepare to present their diagrams to the class.

Independent Practice (10 minutes):

Distribute worksheets that contain scenarios with various forces acting on


different objects (e.g., a falling leaf, a cart being pushed, a magnet picking
up metal objects).
Instruct students to complete the worksheet by drawing and labeling arrows
for the forces acting on each object in each scenario.

Assessment (5 minutes):

Review the completed worksheets as a class.


Ask students to share one force they identified and the direction the force is
acting.
Collect the worksheets to evaluate individual understanding of the concepts
discussed in class. Provide feedback based on their ability to correctly draw
and label the forces.
Closure (5 minutes):

Summarize the lesson by reminding students of the definitions of forces and


how to represent them with arrows.
Ask students to reflect on what they learned, and why understanding forces
is important in daily life (e.g., sports, transportation).
Conclude with a brief Q&A session where students can ask questions or
clarify doubts, reinforcing their learning.

Differentiation Strategies:

For students needing additional support, provide more guided practice with
one-on-one instruction or pairing them with peers.
For advanced learners, challenge them to explore additional forces such as
tension or fluid resistance.

Materials Management:

Ensure all materials are collected after use and stored securely for future
lessons. Keep chart paper and markers organized for easy access.

By the end of this lesson, students will have a clear understanding of various
forces acting on objects and how to represent these forces using arrows,
meeting the stated learning objective effectively.
