UNIT 3: Force, Motion, and Energy
Overview
In the first quarter, pupils learned that there are different materials around
them. These materials can be solid, liquid, or gas. In the second quarter, the
pupils learned about people, animals and plants. In this quarter, they will learn
that materials such as magnets, water, and moving air can make objects move.
People, animals, and plants can also make an object move.
105
ways to make an object move, they can only be grouped into two pushing
and pulling. Force is introduced as a push or a pull. Force causes an object to
move. In describing the motion of an object, using a reference point or a
reference object is emphasized to give the accurate or precise location of the
object.
This chapter also discusses that when a force is applied on an object, the
object can move fast or slow, forward or backward, or stretched or compressed.
Using toys such toy car, wind wheel, and paper boat is used to make
learning fun for the pupils. This way, the pupils will feel that science is not just a
subject in school, but is also part of their everyday life.

Overview
This chapter presents the different sources and uses of light and heat.
Though light and heat are forms of energy, it is not yet introduced as such.
Instead, the focus of this chapter is on the sources of light and how people use
light. Pupils will classify the different sources of light into natural and artificial. They
are introduced to objects such as the Moon and mirrors that are not actually
sources of light but merely reflect light. Pupils will also observe that some objects
are not only a source of light but a source of heat as well.
Pupils will learn that light has many uses to people, animals and plants.
People and animals are able to see things because of light. Plants need light in
order to make its own food. Like light, heat has many uses. Pupils will learn its
importance particularly to people as well as the danger it poses when not
properly used.
126
This chapter also enhance the different process skills of the pupils like
identifying, observing, classifying, describing, inferring, communicating,
organizing and experimenting.

examples to pupils. Point out that Moon may look like a natural source of
light at night but it is actually reflecting the light from the Sun.

Sounds are produced by objects that vibrate. The vibrations of an object
disturb the air in such a way that sounds are produced. Sounds travel in all
direction from its source.
Musical instruments produced sound because they are made to vibrate.
The drum, cymbal, tambourine, and xylophone produced sound by beating
them. They vibrate when they are beaten. The guitar, violin and cello produced
sound by strumming them. Their strings vibrate producing sound. The flute,
trumpet, and trombone produced sound when they are blown. The air inside

OVERVIEW
Many things make up our surroundings. Our surroundings consist all living
and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth. Living things as discussed in
Unit II include people, plants and animals around us. Non-living things include
water in water bodies, soil, rocks, and the landforms.
This Unit contains three lessons. In Lesson 1, it focuses on the things that
make up our surroundings at home, school and community. In Lessons 2 and 3, it
tackle the bodies of water and landforms found in the community, in other
places in the country, and their importance to people and other living things.
Through these lessons, it is hoped that pupils will learn to appreciate their
immediate surroundings and learn to care for the natural resources in their
community.
