Date: July 15- July 19, 2019
Subject: Science VIII
Section: Grade VIII- St. Andrew

Content: Unit I- Force, Motion and Energy

Chapter 4 - Work, Power, and Energy

Reference: Conceptual Science and Beyond VIII (Brilliant Concepts and Ideas)

Content Standard:
The learner demonstrates an understanding of:
 Work using constant force, power, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential
energy and kinetic energy.

Performance Standard:
The learner shall be able to:
 Calculate the amount of work done by forces.

Learning Competencies:
The learner shall be able to:
 Identify situations in which work is done and in which no work is done.
 Describe how work is related to power and energy.
 Differentiate potential and kinetic energy.
 Relate speed and position of object to the amount of energy possessed by a body.

Enduring Understanding:
1. Work refers to the product of the force applied on an object and the displacement of
the object. It is done on an object when the direction of the displacement is along the
component of the force applied.
2. Power is the rate of doing work. An object has greater power if it could do work in a
shorter length of time.
3. Energy is the ability to do work.
4. There are two classifications of energy:
a. Potential Energy
b. Kinetic Energy
5. Potential energy has two forms:
a. Gravitational Potential Energy
b. Elastic Potential Energy
6. Gravitational Potential Energy is the potential energy of an object when it is elevated
from the ground.
7. Elastic Potential Energy is the energy stored in elastic material when they are stretched
or compressed.
8. Hooke’s Law states that the force applied on a spring is directly proportional to the
amount of elongation or compression of the spring.
9. Hooke’s Law equation:
Fspring = kx

Essential Questions:
1. When do you say that work is done?
2. How do you evaluate the amount of work done?
3. How is work related to power and energy?
4. What is the difference between gravitational potential energy and kinetic potential
energy?
5. How is speed related to the amount of energy possessed by a body?

Lesson Proper:
I – Explore
A. Introduction

Ask the following questions:

1. How is energy related to work?
2. How is power related to work?

B. Motivation

 The teacher may start the lesson with some aerobics. Let the students exert energy
in performing the warm up exercise.
 After the exercise, the teacher may open the discussion about energy and ask some
questions:
  Who showed more energy?
 Who had less energy for the exercise?
 Where did they get their energy to be able to perform the activities?

II – Firm- up

C. Instruction
1. Discuss the different examples of work. How is energy related to work? When do you
say that work is done? When do you say that work is not done? Why? What conditions
must be satisfied before we can say that there is work?
2. Present exercises in solving the amount of work.
3. Discuss the different examples of power. How is power related to work? What forces
act on objects that affect the amount of work done?
4. Present more exercises related to the computation of work done.
5. Clarify the terms:
 Potential Energy, Gravitational Potential Energy and Elastic Potential Energy.
 Kinetic Energy
6. Initiate the discussion about the elastic constant. Why are the concepts of elastic
constant very helpful in understanding the situation involving vehicular accidents?
7. Encourage the students to give practical examples showing the application of elastic
constant.
8. Let the students answer the exercises under chapter review.

III – Deepen

D. Evaluation
1. Answer Activity 2.1 – Assess the student’s ability if work is done or not done in given
situations.
2. Answer Activity 2.2 – Solve problems involving work. Apply the formula that they
have learned.
3. Answer Activity 2.3 – Solve problems involving the amount of gravitational potential
energy and the amount of kinetic energy in various situations.
4. Answer Activity 2.4 – Solve problems involving the elastic constant.

IV – Transfer

Talk about recent news on collision or car accidents. Let the students assess the
whole situation using the concepts that they have learned about work, power, and energy.
 Sample questions that may be answered are:
 Who is at fault?
 Who is more guilty?
 Who acquired the most damage?

V. Assessment
 Laboratory Activity
 Quiz
