LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 9

Date: February 2017

I. TARGET/OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. define and describe projectile motion;
b. enumerate the elements and components of a projectile; and
c. appreciate projectile motion and its application to everyday life.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

A. Unit: 4 Force, Motion and Energy
B. Chapter: Module 1 Forces and Motion
C. Lesson: Projectile Motion
D. Skills: defining, describing, enumerating, observing
E. Values: Sense of Awareness, Orderliness, Cooperation
F. Materials:
G. References:
H. Subject Area Integration:

III. STRATEGIES:
Classroom Routine:
a. Prayer
b. Checking of Classroom Cleanliness and Orderliness
c. Checking of Attendance

Engage:
Show the 4-min video clip entitled PALARONG PAMBANSA 2013 The faces of
our future sports heroes or some video on youth sports events. Let the
students observe the different kinds of motion demonstrated and give them a
minute or two to write on the I Notice! I Wonder! record sheet what they notice
and what they wonder about two-dimensional motions (Based on our teaching
guide)

Explore:
The students will be divided into groups to create a simple catapult out of the
materials provided by the teacher. After creating a catapult, one representative
from each group will play MINUTE to WIN IT!
(Option: Catapult is ready-made for the game)
Explain:
Key Concepts:

1. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. A

projectile is any object which once projected or dropped continues in motion
by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity
2. Projectile motion is a combination of two component: A free Fall which is the
Vertical Component and uniform motion which is the horizontal component.
3. The path of a projectile is called trajectory.
4. Elements of a Projectile Motion:
Initial Velocity (vi) the velocity at the start of the launching of projectile
Final Velocity (vf) the velocity of an object as it reaches the ground
Time of Flight (tf) entire duration while the projectile is in its trajectory.
Range (R) is the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the projectile
Maximum Height (ymax) is the maximum vertical displacement traveled
by the projectile in its trajectory.
Elaborate:
1. Video presentation about the applications of projectile in various fields
2. Frayer Model is used for generalizing the concepts learned.

Evaluate:
Minute Paper/Exit Cards will be used to check the understanding of the lesson.
