RECAP
It’s now our Third Grading Period, and I want to know if you can still recall some of
the lessons we had.

Now, let us try to do simple activity to help you freshen up and recall our past
lesson. Ready? Get your notebook or your paper and pen then be ready to
record/write your answer.

1. What do you call these bodies of water that are formed when freshwater from
rivers flows and mixes with saltwater from the sea or ocean? _______________
2. It is a series of organism that transfer energy in the form of
food.__________________
3. It consist of two or more food chains. _________________

It is good to know that you really learned a lot from our past lesson. Now you
are more than ready for our next topic.

LESSON
When we say that something is in motion, we usually mean that it is moving.
But motion has a special meaning in science. In science, motion is a change in
position compared to a place or an object that is not moving. The place or object that
is not moving is called the frame of reference.

What is motion? It seems that everything is moving. Motion is a change in a

position. From the time you wake up until you go to sleep, all our activities involve
movement. We have to move in order to complete our tasks. Motion will always be a
part of our daily life.

How can you tell if someone is in motion? Motion may be defined as change of
an object's position as caused by force. When there is movement, there is motion.
There can be no motion without a force or a set of forces. Forces, therefore, initiate
and influence motion.
 A jeepney with its passengers

Motion is relative. Consider the passengers in a moving jeepney. Passengers

inside the jeepney do not consider themselves moving because they are just sitting
in the jeepney. However, the people standing outside consider them moving because
the jeepney is changing its position from one point to another point. By definition,
motion is a change in position with respect to a reference point.

Types of Motion:

1. Rectilinear Motion: Motion of the object in straight line path is called

rectilinear motion.

For example: Motion of train on track, motion of ants in a straight

path, motion of freely falling stone from top of the
building towards the ground.

A moving train on its track

2. Circular Motion: Motion of object in a circular path is called circular motion.

For example: Children riding a ferris wheel or riding a merry go
round, motion of Earth around the Sun .

Ferris wheel Merry-go-round

3. Periodic Motion: Motion of an object which repeats itself after a certain

period of time is called periodic motion.

For example: Motion of Earth around the sun is periodic as well

as circular as it repeats it motion after time of 365
days. Motion of simple pendulum is periodic.
Motion of minute and second hand in a watch is
periodic.

A reference point is a fixed place or an object used to determine the position

of an object. If the reference point is the ground outside the car, the passengers are
moving. If the reference point is the floor of the car, the passengers are not moving.
A reference point is important in determining motion because in order to say that
something is moving, you need to have something stationary to compare it to.

The tree serves as the reference point which shows how the car moves from Figure1 to Figure 2.

Activity 3: Let’s Investigate!

Identify the types of motion that you can see.

_____________1. Wristwatch.

_____________4. Wind mill at work.

_____________5. A boy riding a swing.

WRAP-UP

Everyday, we observe different objects in motion. We observe different

automobiles in motion, we see people in motion, too.

All running objects are in motion. Running or moving objects start from a
certain point to the place where it is supposed to reach.

Motion means a change in position of an object in respect to time and its

reference point.

Directions: Draw 5 examples of motion that you can observe inside your home
and identify what type of motion is involved.

VALUING
 The Pandemic that were encountering right now should not stop us from
moving forward. It may be hard for you as learners compared to the normal schooling
that we had before. But you have to realize the sacrifices of your parents, who wants
to support your education. We should be strong to continue moving forward, we
should fight against this pandemic because life should go on. We have to remember
that there is someone greater than this pandemic, who will always guide and protect
us and for us to be in motion all the time.

Direction: Draw a happy face if motion is involved and a

sad face if not.

_______1. Stagnant water

_______2. Waterfall

_______3. A ball on top a table

_______4. A car on its handbrake.

_______5. Rain from the sky.
