Lesson 1: Introduction to Force
INTRODUCTION
What I Need to Know?
At the end of the 4-day learning experience, 100% of the Grade 8 learners
are expected to:
1. Identify force and its components.
2. Determine the forces acting on a moving objects.
3. Understand that stationary objects stay at rest due to two or more
forces; and
4. Relate forces with daily life situations or experiences
Most Essential Learning Competency
Investigate the relationship between the amount of force applied and the mass
of the object to the amount of change in the object’s motion.
What’s New?
Directions: Below are some pictures of activities using forces. Write down PUSH or PULL
in the box provided.
1. 2. 3.
4. 5.
2
What I Can Do?
Direction: Identify the effect of the force in the following situations:
Effect (change in size/shape, change in speed, change in
Situation
direction of motion)
A. making a clay pot from mud
B. pushing a cart
C. kicking a rolling ball sideways
D. bending a bamboo stick
E. a strong typhoon blowing over the field
What Other Enrichment Activities Can I Engage In? (Additional Activities)

ASSIMILATION
What I Have Learned?
Direction: The learners must explain the direction of forces in:
1. Moving Objects (The direction of an object’s displacement in relation with the
direction of the force)
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
2. Object at Rest (The directions of two forces that render the object stationary)
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________

On the given pictures:
1. Draw the direction where the object is moving
2. Encircle the point of application
3. Draw a broken line for the line of action
4
In moving objects, what can you say about the direction of the force applied and the direc-
tion from which the moving object is going?
