Contents Some objects moves faster while others moves slower.

Teaching - learning Activities Teacher shows a video clip about hare and tortoise race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyQdsJ6_11Q Teacher asks the students: Have you ever listened to this story before? Why the hare thought tortoise will lose the game? In this story, if hare did not sleep who would win the game? Why hare could win if its did not sleep? Why tortoise would lose the game? Teacher introduces the terms slower and faster. Student fills in the black:

Elicitation of Ideas (15 minutes)

An object which moves faster travels longer distance

A hare moves faster than tortoise. A tortoise moves slower than a hare. Activity 1 Teacher gives a situation and asks the student questions based on the situation. Questions: Which car travels longer distance in 1 hour? Why? Which car takes longer time to reach the destination? Why?

Teaching aids Situation card, map Science process skills Observing Infering Thinking skills Comparing & contrasting

An object which moves faster takes shorter time.

Situation: Car A and Car B travelled to a destination without stopping at any place. However, Car A reached the destination earlier. At that time car B

was still half way

Application (25 minutes)

Students compare speed of toy car on different surfaces. 1. carpet

Activity 3 Student moves a toy car on different type of surfaces using same force. Teacher can do it with

aid of rubber band to make sure the same amount of force applied. Student compare on which surface the car travels furthest, further and slower. Then, on floor teacher moves two toy cars with different forces; 1 is using small force (Toy Car A), another one is using bigger forces (Toy Car B). Student concludes that the car which moves faster (Toy Car B) travel faster and longer distance, while the car which moves slower travel shorter distance.
