A DETAILED LESSON PLAN FOR GRADE 7

Prepared by: Norguiana G. Adam

Topic: Describing Motion: Distance and Displacement Date: February 01, 2024
Grade Level: 7 Timeframe: 1 hour
School: Agriculture High School

Content Standard: The learners demonstrate understanding of motion in one direction.

Performance Standard: The learners should be able to conduct a forum on mitigation
and disaster risk reduction.
Learning Competencies: Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance or
displacement, speed or velocity, and acceleration

K to 12 CG Code: S7FE-IIIa-1
I. Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the students will able to:
a. describe the motion of in terms of distance and displacement;
b. cite an example of motion based on their experience;
c. appreciate the motion through making a Tanka poem.

II. Subject Matter

a. Concept
Motion is an everyday part of life. Without it, no work could be done.
Forces acting on an object may be balanced or unbalanced. This force gives energy
to the object which can either set it in motion, stop its motion, or change its motion
in any way. In other words, many of the things around us move. Some move slowly
like the turtles and clouds, others move much more quickly like the satellites and
rockets. Thus, when we are talking about motion, it seems to be very simple that
can be describe by distance and displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration.

III. Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities (3 minutes) (All students are actively participated)

• Prayer
• Greetings
• Checking of attendance
• Checking of homework
• Classroom rules
• Classroom management

B. Review
(All students are actively
“Before we go to our topic for this morning, let’s have participated)
sharing lessons that you never forgot during your second
quarter. Who want to share their learning or insight
regarding on the topic you have learned during your second “the topic that I never forget
quarter?” during our second quarter is about
the ecosystem.”

“Very good. Let’s give her/him a Let’s go clap.”

(the students do the let’s go clap)
“Recently, you already took your second quarter exam.
The 2nd quarter is now over. Today, starting this day is
your journey for the 3rd quarter. So, to those who got low
score in our previous exam it’s your chance to strive to get
high scores or grade for 3rd quarter. Is it crystal?” “clear”

C. Teaching (All students are actively

participated)
ELICIT (5 minutes)
“yes ma’am,”
“Have you seen a turtle moving?”

“What have you noticed or what impression do you “turtle move slowly”
have?”

“Very good! Turtle moves so slow compared to other

animals.”
(many students raised their hand)
“Who came earlier in school by walking?”
“it far ma’am, I think it is about
“How far your home from the school?” 500 meters”
“Oh! that good that you know the distance of you home
from school. Thank you for sharing.”

“My last question is what comes in your mind when you “it is the action, the movement of
hear the word motion?” all things.”

“walking, driving car, kicking a

ball, pushing and pulling of door
etc”

“we need a reference point/point of

reference to determine motion.”
ENGAGE (10 minutes) (All students are actively
participated)
“In regards to our topic, I prepared here a quiz 10-items
multiple choice quiz. I want you to answer it by writing
your letter of choice to the separate paper.” (the students do the activity)
(After a while)
Students are you done? Yes ma’am,
“Then let us check you output. Just check your own paper. (the students check their output)
Remember honesty is the best policy.”

EXPLORE (5 minutes) (All students are actively

participated)
“It seems that your score is average. Thus, let’s make
deeper knowledge regarding the motion in terms of
distance and displacement by studying the picture and
answering the succeeding questions. But let me group you
into 5. So, let’s count 1-5. Since you have your groups,
please choose one representative of your group.
Representative please get you copy here. I will give you 5
minutes to do the activity”

(the students do the activity)

Guide questions:
 1. How far originally is the car from the tree?
2. Before they started moving, what is the original
distance between the car and the ball?
3. If the car moves a distance of 2 meters in one
second, how far will it be from the tree after 5
seconds?
4. Supposed the ball covers a distance of 1 meter in
one second, how much distance can it cover in 5
seconds?

EXPLAIN (15 minutes) (All students are actively

participated)
“Done! Class we may now start the sharing of your
answer in the class. Take note that while some group are
reporting or sharing their output, other group will listen so
the we can infer our answers if wright or need some “clear ma’am”
improvements. It is crystal?”

“Since, everyone is done, we may now start the class

discussion with group number 5.”

Followed by the group 4, 3, 2, and 1.

“Alright student you did it! However, it seems that some (the students do the activity)
of you got the right answer, while other are confused.
With that, let me share to you some information about the
distance and the displacement when we are talking about
motion.”

ELABORATE (10 minutes) (All students are actively

participated)
In another 10 minutes, I want you to make a reflection on
what you have learned in today’s lesson. Write your
reflection in ½ sheet of paper. (20 points) (student do the activity)
“Do you have any question?” “None ma’am”
“Clarification?” “None so far ma’am”
EVALUATION (minutes) (The students do their quiz)

(elaborate phase stands as their quiz)

EXTEND (All students are actively
participated)
For your assignment, in ½ sheet of paper make a
tanka poem to be submitted next meeting. You can
make your title just make sure that the poem you
make is related to our topic MOTION. For the
scoring rubrics is given below.
Content 30%
Organization 20%
Relevance 40%
Cleanliness 10%
total 100%
