A. You Will Learn to

 Define force.
 Describe the changes when force is applied to an object.
 Give examples of activities that show pulling and pushing.

B. Let’s Learn
What Force Can Do

C. Let’s Study

FORCE
Force is a push or pull.

 Have you tried stretching a rubber band?

What happens?
It is a pushing force applied that made the
rubber band stretch.

 Moving a cabinet to another place in the

house by pushing it is another example
of force exerted.

 When you go to the supermarket, you get a pushcart. It will not move without force.

When force is applied to an object or a thing, it can cause a change in position. When greater
force is applied, the object moves faster and, when a lesser force is applied, an object moves
slower. The speed of movement depends on the amount of force exerted.

 Explain how force is measured.
 Discuss the relationship between force and mass.

B. Let’s Learn
Measuring Force

C. Let’s Study

Force causes different effects on objects. The amount of force applied to an object determines its effect on the
object.

Knowing just how much force is needed to do a certain action on an object is

important. Exerting too much force can break or destroy an object. Not enough
force might not move or destroy an object as intended. That is why force is
also measured.

In measuring force exerted by objects, a spring balance is used. Others

call this device Newton meter or spring scale. The greater the force
exerted, the more the spring is stretched. The unit of measurement
usually used for force is Newton (N). It was named after Sir Isaac Newton,
the great English scientist who discovered gravity and formulated principles
related to force and motion.

Force and Mass Relationship

Light objects would need only a little amount of force in order to move them. Bringing a glass of water into
your bedroom is not tiring because you do not exert much force to carry it. However, if you were asked to
carry a big pail of water and bring it to your bathroom, how would you feel? The heavier an object, the greater
the force that you apply to make it move. Thus, it makes you feel tired and exhausted to carry the pail of
water. The stronger the force, the farther and faster an object will move. Likewise, the more massive the
object, the more force it takes to move it.

D. Let’s Do This

Get a rubber band, place its ends around your thumb and
index finger. Get a plastic bottle cap and shoot it like a
slingshot with the rubber band. Mark the spot where the cap
will land. Now get a wooden block and shoot it too but make
sure to extend the rubber band as far as the shot with the
bottle cap. Again, mark the spot where it will land.

 Describe a magnet.
 Explain how magnets exert force.
 Classify things if they are magnetic or nonmagnetic.

B. Let’s Learn
Magnetic Force

C. Let’s Study

To make a magnet, a metal made of iron, steel, nickel, or cobalt, (or their
alloys) is placed under a magnetic field. Electrical current is passed through
the material, causing one end to be negatively charged and the other end,
positively charged. This process is called polarization. After the metal is
polarized, it becomes a magnet.
A magnets has a lot of uses which can be very helpful in our daily lives. For
example, you can know if a coin is fake through a magnet. You can also find a needle in sand by using a
magnet.
Mobile phones, speakers, and stereo sets have magnets to help them produce sounds. Appliances such as
refrigerator, blender, and washing machine have parts that make use of magnets. The door of the refrigerator
contains magnetic strips called magnetic gaskets.
A magnet is a material that has an iron and has electric charges running around it. A magnet is produced in
various shapes and sizes depending on its use. The most common is the bar magnet. The force exerted by a
magnet is called magnetic force. The area around a magnet where there is a magnetic force is called the
magnetic field Some objects, when placed in the magnetic field, may be attracted by the magnet.
A magnet has two poles: the north pole and the south pole. When two poles are facing each other are
different they attract. We say that unlike poles attract. When two poles facing each other are alike, they push
each other apart. Like poles repel each other.

 Identify the characteristics of light.
 Differentiate refraction and reflection.
 Classify objects whether they are transparent, translucent, or opaque materials.

B. Let’s Learn
Light

C. Let’s Study

Have you experienced a brownout at home at night? What difficulties related

to this did you have? Without light, you cannot see; thus, you will not be able
to do what you need to do or go to where you want to go.

Characteristics of Light
 Light makes you see the things around you.
 Light is a form of energy.
 Light travels very fast. In space, it travels about 300,000,000 meters per second.
 Light travels in a straight line. It cannot bend around a corner. The inability of light to bend around a
corner is the reason why we have night and day.
 Aside from traveling in a straight line, light also travels in all directions. For instance, when you turn on
the light in a dark room, the whole room is lit up.
Transparent, Translucent, Opaque
Transparent materials – objects that
allow almost all of the light to pass
through them
Example: Clear glass is a transparent
material.
Translucent materials – materials that
allow only some light to pass through
them
Example: Tinted glass, wax paper,
frosted glass
Opaque materials – materials that do
not allow any light to pass through
them, thus, you cannot see what is on
the other side. Example: wood and
rubber
o Absorption. An opaque object blocks the path of light. This is called absorption, as the surface of
the object absorbs the light instead of letting it through. When this happens, a shadow is formed.
The shape of the shadow is similar to the object.
Reflection and Refraction of Light
 Name: 8

Reflection is the bouncing of light as it strikes a surface. Mirrors are good reflectors of light and can form
exact images.
Light bends as it moves from one transparent material to another. This is called refraction. Refraction of
light has some unusual effects in everyday life. One of this can be observed in swimming pools and other
clear bodies of water. They appear to be shallower that they are. The bottom seems to be nearer the
surface.

 Explain how sound is produced.
 Differentiate pitch and loudness.
 Give examples of reflectors and absorbers of sound.

B. Let’s Learn
Sound

C. Let’s Study

Sound
Sound, just like color, adds life to our world. Each day, we encounter a
multitude of sounds from the time we wake up until we sleep. It can let
you communicate with others or let others communicate with you. It can
be a warning of danger or simply an enjoyable experience.
 How Is Sound Produce?
Sound is produced when things vibrate. Vibrating objects send out sound
waves that travel in all directions. These vibrations become sound when they reach your ears. Particles of air
are pushed together in a particular pattern called a sound wave. A sound wave causes the surrounding air to
vibrate. Sound waves are received by the ears and interpreted by the brain. However, sound waves cannot
move through a vacuum because there is no air or other medium present to vibrate.
 Pitch and Loudness
- The degree of lowness or highness of a sound is called the pitch.
- A sound’s loudness refers to how strong a sound is when it is heard. Loudness is measured in decibels.
 Echo
When a sound wave strikes a smooth, hard surface, it bounces back. This is called a reflection of sound or
echo. During concerts and other programs, you may hear loud echoes of the music and other sounds that may
be annoying to your ears. To prevent this, concert halls and some gymnasiums use acoustic materials. An
example of good acoustic material is cork, because it is soft, rough, and full of holes that can contain or muffle
sound waves. This is why instead of being reflected, the sound is absorbed. Sound absorption is a process in
which sound energy is reduced when sound waves pass through a medium or strike a surface.
Sometimes, there is a need to confine sounds in a certain area so they cannot disturb people outside. To
do this, places like studios install vinyl boards to trap the sounds within the room and block them from being
heard outside. This is called soundproofing.
