I. Activity No. 2.1: Deal or No Deal (5 minutes)

II. Objective(s): At the end of the activity, you should be able to recall previous
knowledge on distance-time graphs learned in Grade 7 and acceleration from
the previous lesson.

III. Materials Needed: Worksheet, pen, and TV or projector

IV. Instructions:
Let's play a game called Deal or No Deal to review some concepts we learned in
Grade 7. It is a "Deal" if the statement is correct; otherwise, it is a "No Deal”.

For items 1 to 3, please refer to the distance-time graphs (position-time

graphs) below:
A B C

Is it a
Deal or
No
Deal?

1. Graph A means the object is not moving.

2. Graph B means the object’s motion is accelerating.
3. An object moving with constant speed and direction is not
accelerating.
4. The acceleration of an object that is speeding up is positive.
5. Uniform acceleration means velocity is constant.
