LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 3.1
Frictional Force
Week 1
I. INTRODUCTION
Have you ever tried going down a slide? Whether it be on a pool or
playground, you may have observed that the steeper the slide, the faster
you fall downwards. The slide’s smoothness or wetness also increases
the speed as you go down.
Gravity and friction affect the way you slide down. They also affect
every activity that you do, from walking to running, going up and down
the stairs, and many more. We naturally encounter gravity and friction
which help us in our daily life activities.
On the other hand, friction is a force that resists the movement of
an object sliding or moving against each other.
II. COMPETENCY:
Infer how friction affect movement of different objects.
Objectives:
K – Define friction;
U – Explain the concept of friction as an opposing force;
D – Interpret how the kind of surface and mass of an object affect friction.
III. ACTIVITIES:
ELICIT/ENGAGE
A.
Directions: Refer to the diagram below and answer the following questions.
1. What is the position of the ball? _______
______________________________________________________________________________
2. What do you think was done to make the ball roll?
_________________________________________________________________
3. What might happen to the rolling ball after sometime? _________________
_______________________________________________________________
4. Why do you think this has happened? _______________________________
______________________________________________________________
EXPLORE
What you will need:
2 books of the same size
Plastic bag fit for the books
Flat smooth surface
Rough surface
What you will do.
1. Look for a flat smooth surface or floor in your house. See to it that there no
rough surfaces.
2. Place 1 book inside the plastic bag. Tie the plastic bag with the book and
start pulling it, Observe.
3. Repeat Step 1 but this time use 2 books. Tie the plastic bag and pull again.
Observe.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 but do this on a rough surface or floor. You may go out
of your house and do the activity on the ground to represent a rough surface.
B.
EXPLAIN
1. On which situation (Plastic bag with one book or with 2 books) did you
experience difficulty in pulling the plastic bag? __________________________________
Why? __________________________________________________________________________________
2. On which case is friction greater, on the smooth surface or the rough surface?
___________________________________ Why? _____________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
3. What are the factors that affect frictional force? (based on the activity)
________________________________________________________________________________________
4. What is friction? _____________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________
ELABORATE
FRICTIONAL FORCE or FRICTION is a force that opposes motion. It acts on
jects that are in contact with each other. Friction is present when an
object is moving on a solid surface, or when two objects slide over each
other. At a microscopic level, surfaces are not entirely smooth; the rough
edges catch each other, which in turn causes friction.
An object in motion does not continue to move without stopping.
It eventually slows down and comes to a stop because friction opposes the
motion. Because frictional force opposes motion, , it always acts opposite
to the direction of the object’s motion. Conversely, an object at rest starts
moving when an external force that is greater than the frictional force is
exerted on it.
C.
Activity: Read the situation below. Answer the questions that follow:
Wooden block Ice cube
Glass surface Glass surface
1. What is the force that will make the motion of the wooden block and the ice
cube stop? _____________________________________________________
2. If the same amount of force is applied on the wooden block and ice cube,
which will travel farther? __________________________________________
Explain _________________________________________________________

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 3.2
GRAVITY
Week 2
I. INTRODUCTION
This Learning Activity Sheet is all about gravity, how it
affects movement of different objects. You will also learn how
gravity works and how mass, weight and distance affects the force
of gravity. Energy is required to overcome gravitational force. You
can feel this as you climb a flight of stairs. It takes more energy to
climb than to go down the flight of stairs.
II. COMPETENCY:
Infer how gravity affects movement of different objects.
Objectives:
K – Define gravity/gravitational force;
U – Analyze how mass, weight and distance are related to gravitational force;
D - Perform an activity showing how the mass of an object affects gravitational
Force.
III. ACTIVITY:
A. ELICIT/ENGAGE
TWIRLYCOPTERS
Predict: Which do you think will go down faster? Circle one.
Test: which was the fastest? Circle one.
EXPLORE
What you will need:
Cotton and stone of almost the same size and shape
8our pieces yarn about 16 inches each
Plastic cellophane (3o cm x 30 cm)
What you will do:
1. Make 2 parachutes using the two materials (stone and cotton).
2. Tie the strings of the parachute to the cotton and stone.
3. Hang the cotton in the first parachute and the hang the stone to the second
parachute.
4. Go to an open area and drop the2 parachutes at the same height and time.
5. Observe what happens.
B.
EXPLAIN
Questions:
1. Which of the two objects reached the ground first? _________________
Why? _______________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
2. What factor/s do you think affected the movement of the falling objects?
____________________________________________________________
3. What force acted on the objects as they fall to the ground?
____________________________________________________________
ELABORATE
Anything that goes up ultimately goes down. Things do not fly on the
Earth’s surface. This is because Earth is exerting a strong attractive force
on you and the things around you. This force is called gravity.
Sir Isaac Newton was the scientist who discovered the principle of gravity.
According to this principle, everything in the universe, whether big or
small, exerts gravity on other things. Since Earth is massive, it strongly
attracts anything on its surface. The same concept keeps the planets and
other heavenly bodies in place. Since the sun is more massive than all the
planets, the gravity pulls them into its orbit.
C. Perform an activity at home and record your video wherein you can get three
different objects with different masses. Drop them all together at the same time. Identify
which among the three reached the ground first. You may use a timer to record the time
they reached the ground. FOR THOSE WITHOUT VIDEO, YOU MAY JUST TAKE PICURES
AND SUBMIT THEM TOGETHER WITH THE LAS (LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET).
