CURRICULAR STATEMENT
Pupil develops factual knowledge conceptual knowledge procedural knowledge and metacognitive
knowledge of the concept of Newtons law of universal gravitation and its use in our daily life by
observing analyzing , experimenting and evaluating by questioning, participating in practical work and
group discussion
CONTENT ANALYSIS
TERMS: Newtons law of universal gravitation
FACTS: 1. a ball hits by a cricketer comes down
2. Everything in the universe attract each other
3. Tossed coin will comes down

CONCEPTS:
According to Newtons law of universal gravitation:
Everything in the universe attracts each other. The magnitude of the attraction between the objects
directly proportional to the products of its masses and inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between them.
F=G

LEARNING OUTCOMES
It enables pupil to develop
Factual knowledge on Newtons law of universal gravitation by;
a) Recalling attraction between different object.
b) Recognizing factors influencing force between objects.
c) Find out uses for finding gravitational force between objects.
Conceptual knowledge on Newtons law of universal gravitation
a) Explain the concept of gravitation
b) Explain universal law of gravitation
c) Illustrate the law with suitable examples
d) Use this concept in new or unfamiliar situation.
Procedural knowledge on Newtons law of universal gravitation by;
a) Doing activities regarding law of gravitation.
b) Raising questions on Newtons law of universal gravitation.
Metacognitive knowledge on Newtons law of universal gravitation by;
a) Focusing the idea that gravitational force between object depends on the masses of the object
and distance between the objects.
b) Generating solution for freely falling body.

Material for experiment: chalk piece, paper
Discussion points, demonstrations, experimentation, showing chart, etc
Chalk board drawing, Showing video, showing photo, etc
Classroom interaction procedure Pupil response

INTRODUCTION
Teacher show a picture

Can you recognize this picture?













ORIENTATION
Teacher divide students into different groups
PRESENTATION
ACTIVITY 1
Teacher ask students to observe the above picture
DISCUSSION POINTS
1. Can you identify the picture shown above?
2. What are the findings?
3. Why apple did come down?
ACTIVITY 2
Teacher tells about an incident.
Two persons walking on a wet surface. Suddenly
one person slips due to water, his companion hold
his hand to protect him from drop. Then ask
students to analyze the incident and note down
your observation on science diary.
DISCUSSION POINTS
1. Is there any force of attraction between
the two persons?
2. What is the factors affecting the
magnitude of the force?
ACTIVITY 3
teacher show a picture and ask student to analyze
it and note down observations on science diary


DISCUSSION POINTS
1. What are masses?
2. What you observe?
3. What is the significance of r?
CONCEPT TO BE CONSOLIDATED
According to Newtons law of universal
gravitation:
Everything in the universe attracts each other. The
magnitude of the attraction between the objects
directly proportional to the products of its masses
and inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between them.
F=G

APPLICATION LEVEL EXPERIENCE
Derive an expression for Newtons law of universal
gravitation?






1. Yes
2. Apple drops on Newtons head
3. Due to earths attraction








1. Yes

2. Weight of persons













1. M1 and m2
2. Attraction between m1 and m1
3. Distance between m1 and m2


REVIEW
1. Define Newtons law of universal gravitation?
2. What is the expression for Newtons universal law of gravitation?
3. What are the factors influencing force of attraction?
4. What is the significance of G?
5. What is the condition in which f=G?
