Learning outcomes (what would learning look like by the
Learning objectives
end of the lesson)
Understand the concept of friction, its effects on motion, By the end os lessons student will be able to
and methods to reduce it.Explore states of equilibrium, 1. Explain the concept of friction and its effects on
stability, and how friction influences balance and stability. motion.
2. Identify methods to reduce friction in practical
scenarios.
3. Distinguish between stable, unstable, and neutral
equilibrium.
4. Analyze how friction affects the stability of objects in
various states of equilibrium.
Learning Activities:
Introduce the conditions for equilibrium: the sum of forces and torques must be zero for an object to be in equilibrium.
Demonstrate these conditions using a simple setup, such as a seesaw or a balanced ruler.
Have students perform an activity balancing objects to understand how forces work in equilibrium.
Discuss how these conditions apply to both static and dynamic equilibrium.
Assign students to find real-life examples of objects in equilibrium (e.g., buildings, hanging objects).
Assessment Opportunities:
Observation: Check student understanding during the demonstration by asking for explanations of the conditions for
equilibrium.
Exit Ticket: Students briefly write the conditions for equilibrium.
Observation: Observe student reactions and explanations during the friction demonstration.
Exit Ticket: Students name one daily life example of friction and its type.
Observation: Watch how students measure and describe friction effects during the experiment.
Quick Quiz: Students answer a question about how friction affects object speed.
Day 5: Methods to Reduce Friction
Opportunity:
Observation: Assess understanding through student explanations during the lubrication demonstration.
Exit Ticket: Students write down one method to reduce friction and a real-world application.
Read and complete textbook exercises on methods to reduce friction, including solving problems related to applying lubricants and improving surface
smoothness.
Lesson Evaluation: reflect on what went well and what needs to be improved in the next lesson vis-à-vis students’ progress
