February 7-8, 2017 Egg drop physics!

Tuesday-Wednesday  The teacher will give an egg with different

Demo Lesson Plan in
Grade 9- Science
Fourth Grading Period

should be able to:
a. describe the vertical motions of a projectile;
b. perform the following calculations using formulas
c.
II. Materials
Maze, eggs, straws, papers, Powerpoint
presentations, video presentations, and writing materials.

III. Unlocking of Difficulties
Acceleration- The rate at which velocity changes over
time; the change in velocity may be in magnitude, or
direction, or both.
Uniformly Accelerating Motion- Acceleration of an
object that has a motion of constant, uniform change in
velocity over a period of time.
Free Fall –
IV. Lesson Proper
 Five learners will go to the fourth floor and will
drop the egg.
 The remaining learners will watch the egg as it
drops down to the ground.
 Learners will examine the egg and will make
observations afterwards.
d. Subject Matter
Topic: Uniformly Accelerating Motion: Vertical
Motion
Concept: Free fall- when an object is falling due
to gravity without the influence of free fall and air
resistance.
e. Discussion
Analysis:
 What do you think is the reason why the
egg did not break?
 Why the egg does falls in the ground as
you throw it?
 What can you say to the speed of the
egg as it drops down to the ground?
Uniformly Accelerating Motion: Vertical Motion
* Video presentation of a feather and bowling
ball under free fall will be projected on the wall.
*In first scenario, the feather and the bowling
ball will be subjected into free fall in a chamber with air.
*In the second scenario, the feather and the
bowling ball will be subjected to free fall in vacuum
chamber.
Question:

a. Daily Routines (Opening Prayer, Greetings, Free fall- when an object is falling due to gravity
Attendance Checking) without the influence of friction and air resistance. An
object that is having a free fall has an acceleration of 9.8
b. Review of the Past Lesson m/s2 due to gravity. This acceleration is uniform until it
reaches the ground. Take note that the velocity of an
 What is acceleration? object increases to 9.8m/s every second.
 What is uniformly accelerating motion?

c. Motivation
Maze!
 The teacher will form the students into groups.
 The teacher will giv

d. Activity

9.8 m/s every second. Student Teacher

Since there is a constant increase in velocity and

Checked by:
friction is also negligible, we can say that the object
accelerates uniformly.

V. Generalization

VI. Evaluation: REMARKS:

Solve the following problems:

1. A person pushing a stroller starts from rest, uniformly

accelerating at a rate of 0.5 m/s2. What is the velocity of
the stroller after it has traveled 4.75 m?
Answer: 2.18 m/s

2. A car traveling at 7.0 m/s accelerates uniformly at 2.5

m/s2 and reaches a displacement of 19 m. What is the
final velocity of the car?
Answer: 12 m/s

3. A car enters the freeway with a speed of 6.5 m/s and

accelerates uniformly for 0.95 m/s2 for 20 seconds. How
far the car moving after this time?
Answer: 320 m
VII. Homework

Solve the following problems:

1. A race car accelerates uniformly from 18 m/s to 46

m/s in 2.5 seconds. Determine the acceleration of the car
and the distance traveled.

2. A plane starting at rest at one end of a runway

undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 for 15 s
before takeoff. How long must the runway be for the
plane to be able to take off?

3. An automobile with an initial speed of 5 m/s

accelerates uniformly at the rate of 2.5 m/s2.Find the
final speed and the displacement after 15 s.
