Learning Area: Science Quarter: 3rd Quarter
Lesson No.: 4 Date:
Lesson Title/ Topic: Motion (Distance or Displacement)
Name: Grade & Section:
I. Activity No. 4.2a : Displacement and Distance (15mins)
II. Objective(s): After this activity, you should be able to determine whether the value is
distance or displacement
III. Materials Needed: ruler and pen
IV. Instruction
Study the map below by familiarizing the location of your HOME and SCHOOL. In the map,
there are two public roads from your home to school.
Guide Questions
1. By using a strip of yarn, measure the length of each road from your house going to the
school. Then lay-over the measured yarn to ruler or tape measure. What is the distance
from home to school on Road A and Road B? Which is longer?

2. If you will make a new road going to your school, where will it be? What will be your
considerations? Draw your own road by using a broken line from your home going to
school. What is the length of that new road? You cannot pass if there are trees or other
forms of barriers along the road.

3. Assuming that you were late in the class during the 3 rd periodic test, and you are aware
that both roads A & B will take 15 min to travel going to school. Will you take the new
route (your answer in number 2) or will follow road A or B?

4. In the map, the remaining area having trees is strictly in private possession. Meaning to
say outsiders are not allowed to enter that area. Since you are late in class, would you
take that shortcut? Why or why not?
