Lesson Guide in Physical Science

I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of mass, momentum,
A. Content Standards
and conservation.
B. Performance Prepare a slogan/ poster to strengthen awareness on road safety
Standards precautions

At the end of the session, students are expected to:

10. use the law of conservation of momentum to solve one-

dimensional collision problems (S11/12PS-IVe-55).

Unpacked LC:
C. Learning 10.1. State the law of conservation of momentum;
Competencies/ 10.2. Demonstrate the qualitative/quantitative difference of the
Objectives elastic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic types of collision;
and
10.3. Appreciate the importance of solving one-dimensional
collision problems which are commonly observed in the
community considering the law of conservation of
momentum.

A. Reviewing previous Which is harder to stop - a massive truck or a
lesson or presenting bicycle moving at the same speed? Justify your answer.
new lesson
ELICIT

1
 Take a look at a ball on top of a pool table.
Ask what the students see by identifying the type of sport/game
in the picture. Ask about the main mechanics of this game.

B. Establishing a purpose
of the lesson
ENGAGE

State the common/possible observations when:

a. 2 objects collide and DON’T stick

b. 2 objects collide and stick together
c. 1 object breaks into 2 objects

C. Presenting
examples/instances of
the new lesson
EXPLORE
1. Ask the learners to observe the situation on the diagram/
picture.
2. Let them identify first, the variables and the known
quantity to be measured that describe the situation
above.
3. Get the total momentum before and after the collision to
conceptualize the Law of Conservation of Momentum.
4. Ask them to state the Law of Conservation of Momentum
based on the situation.

D. Discussing new
concepts and Present an animated presentation of the three types of collision:
practicing new skills elastic, inelastic and perfectly elastic.Show before and after
EXPLAIN collision.

E. Discussing new 1. From the given presentation, show how collisions can be
concepts and described operationally.
practicing new skills 2
EXPLAIN 1.1 Elastic collision
1.2 Inelastic collision
1.3 Perfectly elastic collision

2. Give samples of one-dimensional collision problems. Refer to

given illustrations(elastic and inelastic).

Analysis of the principles based on the presented illustrations.

From the previous observations and discussions, what conclusion

can be formulated out of the given scenarios?

When 2 objects collide and DON’T stick….

When 2 objects collide and stick together…
F. Developing mastery When 1 object breaks into 2 objects…
EXPLAIN
 In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy
are conserved
 In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved but
kinetic energy is not
 In a perfectly inelastic collision, momentum is conserved,
kinetic energy is not, and the two objects stick together
after the collision, so their final velocities are the same

G. Finding practical
applications of concepts 1. Suggest solutions on the following road issues/problems:
and skills in daily living
ELABORATE
a. Substancial frequency of hit and run.
b. Frequent collisions on a high volume arterial with many
driveways.
c. Residences on a main street have full movement
driveways leading directly into main street, causing
conflicts with trough traffic.
d. Left turned movements into driveways that are too close
to the intersection are contributing to collisions.
e. Police officers frequently choose not to document
complaint of pain collisions as injury collisions, opting to
file them as property damage instead. This throws off of
state wide integrated traffic records system raw data.

2.Why are trucks prohibited to use the inner lanes while travelling
in express ways?

H. Making generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson When 2 objects collide and DON’T stick
ELABORATE
When 2 objects collide and stick together
When 1 object breaks into 2 objects

Multiple Choice: Choose the letter with a correct answer.

1. Which of the following best states the Law of
Conservation of Momentum?
a. “Contact” may also arise from the electrostatic
interactions of the electrons in the surface atoms of
the bodies.
b. A collision may be the result of physical contact
between two objects.
c. An isolated system will have no external forces.
d. All of the above

2. Conservation of momentum is also applicable in elastic and

inelastic collisions.
a. true c. sometimes
b. false d. always

3. Which has more momentum, a large truck moving at 30

km/h or a small truck moving at 30 km/h?
a. large truck
I. Evaluating learning b. small truck
EVALUATE c. Both have the same momentum.

4. A large truck breaks down on the road and receives a push

back into town by a small compact car. After the car reaches the
constant cruising speed at which its driver wishes to push the
truck:
a. the amount of force with which the car pushes on the truck
is equal to that with which the truck pushes back on the
car.
b. the amount of force with which the car pushes on the truck
is smaller than that with which the truck pushes back on
the car.
c. the amount of force with which the car pushes on the truck
is greater than that with which the truck pushes back on
the car.
d. the car's engine is running so the car pushes against the
truck, but the truck's engine is not running so the truck
cannot push back against the car. The truck is pushed
forward simply because it is in the way of the car.

 5. A large truck breaks down on the road and receives a push
back into town by a small compact car as shown. What force is
required by the car in order to push the truck to get up to cruising
speed:
a. the amount of force with which the car pushes on the truck
is equal to that with which the truck pushes back on the
car.
b. the amount of force with which the car pushes on the truck
is smaller than that with which the truck pushes back on
the car
c. the amount of force with which the car pushes on the truck
is greater than that with which the truck pushes back on
the car.
d. the car's engine is running so the car pushes against the
truck, but the truck's engine is not running so the truck
cannot push back against the car. The truck is pushed
forward simply because it is in the way of the car

application or Enumerate different road safety precautions/measures related to
remediation the previous lesson.
