8. The teacher will group the students for Activity 3 Investigating Inertia.

Activity 3 -Investigating inertia

Objective: At the end of this activity, you should be able to demonstrate

Newton’s first law of motion.

Materials:
empty glass 5-peso coins (5 pcs or more)
cardboard plastic ruler
1 peso coin

E. Discussing new concepts

and practicing new skills #2

Procedure

Coin Drop

1. Arrange the setup as shown in Figure 7.

2. Slowly pull the cardboard with your hand and observe what happens.
3. Arrange again the setup as shown. This time, quickly flick the cardboard
with your finger. Observe again what happens.
Q9. What happens when you slowly pulled the cardboard? Explain.
Q10. What happens when you flicked the cardboard? Explain.

Stack of Coins

4. Stack the coins on a flat level surface.

5. Quickly hit the coin at the bottom with the edge of the ruler.

Q11. What happens when you hit the coin at the bottom? Why is this so?

12. Teacher will further explain the activity and connect this to the
concept of the First Law of Motion. The following should be
highlighted during the deepening part:
-The examples above demonstrate the property of an object to resist
any change in its state of motion. In physics, this property is known as
inertia.
-The coin dropped into the glass because it was trying to remain in its
state of rest.
-All objects have the tendency to resist changes in their state of
motion or keep doing what they are doing. However, changing a
body’s state of motion depends on its inertia. A more massive object
which has more inertia is more difficult to move from rest, slow
down, speed up, or change its direction.
-Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest or an
object in motion will stay in motion and travel in straight line, as long
as no external net force acts on it. The object will change its state of
motion only if there is unbalanced or net force acting upon it.
-Law of Inertia
A body will remain at rest or move at constant velocity unless acted
upon by an external net or unbalanced force.
13. After discussing the result of the activity, teacher will relate the Law
of Inertia to the previous discussion on balanced and unbalanced
forces. Emphasize that if an object is acted upon by balanced forces,
its motion or its velocity will not change.
-Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time, then we
can say that the object will not accelerate. It will only accelerate if
the forces acting on it are unbalanced. This is what the Law of
Inertia is all about. It states that, “An object will stay at rest or
move at constant velocity unless an unbalanced external force acts
on it.”

H. Making generalizations and
abstractions about the
lesson
I. Evaluating learning EVALUATE (10 minutes)
14. Teacher will provide time for students to put their understanding of
Newton’s First Law of Motion by allowing the students to find partner
to brainstorm a real life application or example of First Law of Motion
for 5-10 minutes.
15. Teacher will remind the students to be more creative in choosing
their examples using illustration and their examples should not be
the same as any already discussed.
16. Teacher will show again the picture shown at the start of the lesson.
This time the students will analyze again what is happening in the
picture with the shoppers.
17. Students will revisit their answers and check whether their responses
earlier were correct.
18. Teacher will synthesize the answers of the students and relate this to
the concept of Law of Inertia.

19. Teacher will show again the objective of the lesson on the screen.
Students will be asked to gauge their level of understanding of the
lesson of the day. Teacher may ask the following questions:
-Did you understanding of inertia increase?
-Can you now confidently describe and cite applications of the Law of
Inertia?
-Which part of the lesson you like most? Which part of the lesson you
did not completely understand?
20. Teacher will provide the students with a printed flashcard of Plicker
for a five-item quiz.

1. A heavy box sits stationary on the floor. The net force on the box is
A. zero in all directions
B. Non-zero and pointing down
C. Non-zero and pointing left
D. Non-zero and pointing right

2. Which of Newton's laws best explains why motorists should buckle-up?

A. Law of Inertia
B. Law of Acceleration
C. Law of Interaction
D. Law of Universal gravitation

3. In the absence of an external force, a moving object will

A. stop immediately.
B. slow down and eventually come to a stop.
C. go faster and faster.
D. move with constant velocity.

4. You are standing in a moving bus, facing forward, and you suddenly fall
forward. You can imply from this that the bus's

B. velocity increased.
C. speed remained the same, but it's turning right.
D. speed remained the same, but it's turning left.

5. Which of the following statements is true about the comparison between

the inertia of a bowling ball at rest and a high-speed soccer ball?
A. The Soccer ball has greater inertia because it is moving with a high
velocity.
B. The Soccer ball has greater inertia because it has a greater volume than
the bowling ball.
C. The Bowling ball has greater inertia because it is not moving.
D. The Bowling ball has greater inertia because it is more massive.

EXTEND( 5 minutes)

J. Additional activities for 21. Teacher will show a short video clip. After watching, the students will
application or remediation write a brief reflection about the video they have watched to be
submitted next meeting.
