- 1. UNIT PORTFOLIO Newton’s Laws of Motion SubjectArea:Science IV (Physics) Grade Level:FourthYearHighSchool Preparedby:Felix T.Bunagan LessonSummary: The unit plan primarily aims to teach the students the concepts of the three laws of motion by Isaac Newton and how it is related to land transportation, sports and daily activities. Through the various activities that will be given to the students, they will discover the principles behind land transport, unravel the mysteries of land transport safety and learn the principles behind the design of the latest land vehicles and teach the students the importance of following road signs. Significantly, this unit plan will inculcate into the minds of the students their concern towards the environment by doing a documentary of the condition of the air in Metro Manila in relation to our present mode of transport and the impact of the latest mode of transport – the MRT, electric vehicles and LPG cars. This will also create awareness on the students about the state of our present land transport system. To answer the essential question, the POEA (Predict-Observe-Explain-Approach) strategy will be used. Learning station will be presented to the group where they will discover the topic being presented. Specific task will be given to each group. Some groups will be doing a photo-story of Newton’s laws of motion application in land transportation, newsletter containing road safety and latest breakthrough in car safety. Select groups will be required to make a documentary of the condition of the air in Metro Manila and the impact of the latest mode of land transport-the MRT, electric vehicles and LPG cars. Also, some groups will be tasked to do a video presentation of Physics tricks applying Newton’s laws of motion. All groups will design a balloon powered car. With the application of Windows Movie Maker or MS PowerPoint, they will do a presentation of their preparation and the things that they have considered in the construction of the balloon powered rocket car. Also, each group will make a banner, invitation, poster, and leaflets using the MS Publisher or any software program for the promotion of mini-Physics Olympics which will be held at the Makati High School RHS Hall as a culmination of their activity. There will be a battery operated fan powered car racing and balloon powered car racing. The materials used in making the car must be recyclable materials. The task given to every group is based on their skills and level of learning. A mini-exhibit will be held at the last day of the execution of the unit plan. The mini-exhibit to be held the RHS Hall will showcase the output of each group. The exhibit will be open to all students and teachers in the school and in the division. In a way, this will encourage students as well as teachers to appreciate the necessity of integrating various activities to make a simple learning task worthwhile.
