Learning Task 1
Title: Movement and Motion
You will need: small ball, toy car, notebook, ruler, large hard bound book (will be used as ramp), marker pen and masking tape
What to do:
1. Mark a spot on the floor with a masking tape. Label it as POINT A.

2. Place the small ball on point A, then blow on it.
3. Using a ruler, record the distance in centimeters if the ball moved away from POINT A or did not move at all.
4. Place a car toy on POINT A, then blow on it. As much as possible, apply the same amount of force applied on the ball.
5. Using a ruler, record the distance in centimeters if the ball moved away from POINT A or did not move at all.
6. Place a notebook on POINT A, then blow on it with the same amount of force applied to ball and toy car.
7. Using a ruler, record the distance in centimeters if the ball moved away from POINT A or did not move at all.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 7, but this time push the ball, the toy car and the notebook with your fingers. Record your observations.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 7, but this time, one side of the hardbound book as a ramp ( 45 degrees inclination see picture below). Label its highest point as A. Put the ball, toy car and notebook one at a time without applying any force. Observe what will happen to the ball, toy car, and notebook. Record your observations.
10. Make a table like the one below to record your observations. Put a check if there was movement after force was applied.
Objects to be
Moved Blowing Pushing Placing on a Ramp
1. Ball
2. Toy car
3. notebook
Guide Questions:
1. Which action causes all the object moves?
2. Why do you think this action causes movement?
3. Which among the objects is the hardest to move? Why do you think is it hardest to move?
4. Which among the objects is the easiest to move? Why do you think it is the easiest to move?
5. What is the importance of Point A in determining the movement of the objects?​
