A. Routine
1. Greetings
 Good morning, class. How’s —Good morning, Sir.
your day? —We’re fine, Sir. Thank you.
 Who’s absent today? —Nobody is absent, Sir.

B. Motivation
 Today, we will have an
activity. Here, I have several
cards and each card has a
statement. Since you are in
three columns here, we will
have three groups for this
activity. With these cards, I
will ask you to sort them into
what are true statements
and what are false
statements. Later, I will ask
those who are seated at the
back of your column to
present your cards. You have  Okay, Sir.
3 minutes, class, to discuss.
True/False Cards
C1 A basketball will bounce back
higher than its height of release.
C2 A bowling bowl will bounce on
beach sand.
C3 When you push a wall, the wall
pushes you back.
C4 It’s possible that Neptune can
collide with Pluto.
C5 There is collision in playing
chess.
C6 In theory, a planet collided with
Earth which brought the
extinction of dinosaurs.
C7 When you dribble a basket ball
at an angle, the ball will bounce
in the same angle.

  Are you ready now to
present, class?  Yes, Sir.

Presenters, please come here  Sir, the True statements are:

 Very good, Group 3. You are
correct that cards 3, 5, abd 7
are true while the others are
false.
[The activity ends when all questions
are answered.]

objects bump or clashes on
surfaces or on other objects,

 Later on, we will be discussing

different categories of
collisions, which will explain
the difference between the
collisions between objects.  Yes sir!
Are you ready?
A. Activity
 Very well. Now, I will group
you into 5. Since we’ve
checked about your
familiarity with collisions, per
group I will give you sets of
marbles that you will
manipulate depending on the
instructions that I will be  We are grouped and ready sir.

 Be ready, because after this
activity, I will have you explain
what we have done with the
marbles.

instruction, I need you to  [The students do so, and make

 Now that we’re done, sit tight
and let’s start explaining  Yes sir!

your activity, ready class?
 On the first task, you made
the two marbles move

they will collide. After
colliding, what happened to
the marbles?  Sir, the two marbles instantly

 Correct, Tristan. In the case of
the second task, when the
moving marble collided with

 the one at rest, the two
marbles moved in the same
direction.
 How about the third task?

was being held down, what
observations have you taken  Sir, the moving marble
about this event? Yes bounced back.
Andrea?
 You’re right, Andrea. In the
third instruction, the moving
marble, obviously, bounced
back as it collided with the
held marble.
C. Abstraction
 Class, go back to your seats
now. Here, I have a tennis
ball. Observe what happens
when I drop the ball on the
floor.

 Now, eyes here in front. I will

the floor. I want you to
observe and identify what
type of collision will happen.

 Can you identify what type of
collision happened? May I  Inelastic collision happened,

Let’s see what will happen

 In my PowerPoint

 presentation, I will show you
how collision works with
momentum.
 Class, momentum is mass in
motion. Therefore, we can
assume that heavier objects
have greater momentum.
However, light objects can
also have as much
momentum as a heavy
object, depending on its
velocity.

p = mv

later, you will discover why
they are important in the
practical world.
 For now, class, I want you to
derive formulas. Last week,
you spent time on deriving
formulas from a given
equation. So now, you will
apply what you have learned.
With your learning buddy, I

9
 want you to find the value of
v1 and v2, and m1 and m2 in
the equation m1v1 + m2v2 =
m1v1’ + m2v2’. I will only give
you 3 minutes.
 Are you now ready, class? [sample computation]
May I ask Karylle to find the
value of v1, on the board
please.
 Thank you, Karylle. Now,
using the derived formulas, I
will give you a sample
problem.

D. Application
 Class, please work with your
pair in answering this sample
problem.
A 0.01-kg marble was
rolled to the right at 0.05 [student answer]
m/s and made an elastic
collision with a 0.015-kg Given:
marble moving to the left
at 0.03 m/s. After the
collision, the smaller
marble moved to the left
at 0.002 m/s. Find the
velocity of the 15-g marble Find:
after collision.
Solution:
 I will only give you 5 minutes
to do this.

10
  Are you done, class? May I
ask Angelie to show their
answers on the board?
 So, after collision, the
velocity of the larger marble
is 0.002 m/s, which is equal
to the velocity after collision
of the smaller marble.

marbles have different mass
