INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTUALIZATION
Pagadian City (ICon) and
INQUIRY-BASED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE
CODE: S8FE – Ic – 20
OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe work.
2. Explain if work or no work is done in situations represented.
3. Calculate the work done by a force that moves an object
through a certain displacement.
Description of Contextualization
Localization/Indigenization 1. Local Politics, Local Workers and Livelihood
2. Classroom and Home setting
3. Utilizing readily available materials in the classroom such as
the table, chair, board, wall, door, and book.
Making Connections: 1. Applying knowledge to solve real-world problems.
2. Providing and demonstrating concrete or real life examples of
work.

Learning Activities:
ELICIT (5 minutes): Eliciting Students’ Prior Knowledge
(Contextualizing the Lesson and Scaffolding the Development of Critical Thinking Skills)
Key questions:
1. Do you have work at home? What work assignment is assigned to you at home?
2. What is the work of your father? What is the work of your mother?
INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXTUALIZATION (ICon) and INQUIRY-BASED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE
Present more situations in which work is done and work is not done. Allow the students to
explain their answer.
EXPLORE (15 minutes): Is there work done? (Inquiry, Critical and Higher-order Thinking
Skills)
Let the students perform Activity 1 (Module 2) of the Science Learner’s Module. In this activity,
students will analyze the situations shown in the illustrations. For them to explain if the situations
represent examples of work they should be able to identify the one doing the work and on which
object the work is done. They should also look into the direction of force exerted relative to the
direction of the movement of the object or the distance covered by the applied force.
EXPLAIN (15 minutes): Interactive Discussion (Teaching Across the Curriculum)
Provide an operational definition of work which is done whenever a force produces movement.
Present additional situations in which work is done and work is not done. Allow the students to
explain their answer.
Possible situations:
*Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down: Show your THUMBS UP sign if work is done to an object or
person and THUMBS DOWN sign if no work is done. (Ask a student to explain his/her answer).
_____1. a man dragging a big box across the floor
_____2. a Grade 8 student watching TV
_____3. a basket being lifted by the father
_____4. a mother dancing with her baby in her arms
_____5. A student holding the book while reading silently
Highlight that work is present when force exerted causes an object to have a displacement in the
same direction of the force. Present the mathematical expression,
W = Force x Displacement or W = Fd, and introduce the unit Joules.
2. An object moves a distance of 8 m under the action of a constant force of 6 N. How much
work is done on an object?
Given: F =
d=
Find: W = ?
Sol.
3. The work done by a Grade 8 student in pulling a chair is 120 J. Find the displacement or
distance covered if a 60-N force is exerted in pulling the chair?
I. Write W before the item if work is done to an object or by a person and X if no work is done.
_____1. an athlete kicking a soccer ball
_____2. a student carrying a book to the classroom
_____3. a man climbing up a tree
_____4. a boy pressed the stone very hard
_____5. a waiter carrying the plate on his hand
