Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan:


Define a vector as a quantity with both magnitude and direction.

I. Objectives

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1. Define a vector as a quantity with both magnitude and direction.

2. Differentiate between scalar and vector quantities.

3. Apply examples of vector quantities.

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Define a vector as a quantity with both magnitude and direction.


Reference:

● MATATAG Curriculum (Grade 7 – Physical Science: Forces and Motion)

Materials Used:

● Visual aids, whiteboard, markers

III. Procedure

A. A. Preliminary Activities

1. Prayer

2. Greetings

3. Checking of Attendance

4. Review: Recall basic quantities (length, time, mass, etc.)


5. Motivation: "Vector Treasure Hunt" - Students will be given a set of clues
involving vectors (e.g., "Take five steps north, then three steps east"). The first
group to find the hidden object wins.

B. Discussion

Define vector quantity and explain magnitude and direction.

A vector quantity is a mathematical and physical concept that possesses both


magnitude (size or amount) and direction. This means that to fully describe a vector,
we must specify both how much of the quantity exists and the direction in which it
acts.

Magnitude and Direction:

● Magnitude refers to the numerical value or size of the vector. For example, if a
car is moving at 60 km/h, this value alone represents only the magnitude.

● Direction specifies where the vector is pointing. If the car is traveling 60 km/h
east, the inclusion of "east" provides the direction, making this a vector
quantity.

Difference Between Scalars and Vectors:

● Scalar quantities only have magnitude and no direction. These include


temperature (e.g., 25°C), mass (e.g., 5 kg), speed (e.g., 50 m/s), and energy.

● Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. These include


displacement (distance in a specific direction), velocity (speed with direction),
acceleration (rate of change of velocity in a given direction), and force (push or
pull in a direction).

Examples of Vector Quantities:

1. Displacement – The shortest straight-line distance from the initial position to


the final position, considering direction. Example: "A car moved 5 km north.

2. Velocity – The speed of an object along with the direction it is moving.


Example: The airplane is traveling 900 km/h west.

3. Acceleration – The rate at which velocity changes over time in a given


direction. Example: A car accelerates at 3 m/s² forward.
C. Generalization

● Vectors have both magnitude and direction, meaning they not only describe
how much of something is present but also specify where it is directed.
Examples of vector quantities include displacement, velocity, acceleration, and
force. For instance, velocity is not just about how fast an object is moving; it
also includes the direction in which it is traveling. On the other hand, scalars
have only magnitude, which means they provide a numerical value without
specifying direction. Examples of scalars include speed, mass, temperature, and
energy. For example, the temperature of a room is simply a numerical value
without any associated direction.

D. Application

● Activity (Group Work):

o Ask students to identify vector quantities in real-life scenarios.

IV. Evaluation

Which of the following is a vector quantity?


a) Mass
b) Temperature
c) Velocity
d) Distance

● Which of the following has only magnitude and no direction?


a) Force

d) Acceleration

● If a car moves 20 m east and then 15 m west, what is its displacement?

b) 5 m west
c) 5 m east
d) 20 m east

b) Units
c) Direction
d) Numerical value

Short-Answer Questions:

1. Explain the difference between a scalar and a vector quantity.

V. Assignment
o Write a short paragraph about how forces make things move or change.
