I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, 75% of the students should be able to:
1. define work scientifically;
2. calculate the amount of work done on an object given the force applied and the
displacement;
3. cite situations where work is done and not done.
II. Learning Task
A. Subject Matter
WORK
B. Science Concept
Work is the product of the force and the displacement resulting from the
application of force.
C. Value Focus
Relating work in real life situation
Participating actively in group activity
D. Teaching Aids and Devices
Chalk and board
Visual aids
Dictionary
Materials to be used for the activity

E. Reference
Science 8- Learners Module
Pages: 21-24
III. Teaching Strategies
Teachers Activity Students Activity

A. Daily Routine
1. Cleaning of Classroom
2. Prayer
3. Checking of Attendance Students will answer
 B. Review
Last time we discuss about the Newtons Third The students will find for
Law of Motion now who can recall what is the the meaning of WORK
Newtons third law of motion?

What is the Law of Interaction all about?

C. Motivation (Find the meaning of Work)

The teacher will divide the students into two
groups each group will find the meaning of the
word WORK in the dictionary for one minute,
the one who will have more meanings to be
found will receive a prize.

D. Presentation
The word Work has many meanings.
When people ask What is your Work? What does it
mean?
When your teacher asks Have you done your
homework? What does your teacher mean?
In Physics, there is a different meaning for work and you
will know that through our activity for this morning..

(Please see the attached Activity Sheet on the

next page)

a. Post Activity
The teacher will analyze and discuss the answers
to the activity.

Work-product of the force and the displacement

resulting from the application of force.

Work is done if the object you push moves a distance

in the direction towards which you are pushing it.
No Work is Done if the force you exert does not make
the object move.

No Work is Done if the force you exert does not make

the object move in the same direction as the force you
exerted.

Calculating Work
Work is done when the Force (F) applied to the object
causes the object to have a displacement (d) in the same
direction as the force applied.
In equation:
W=Fd
Where:
W=work
F= force
d=displacement

unit for work:

unit of work = unit of force x unit of displacement
unit of work= (N) (m)
unit for work= Nm or Joules (J)
The unit Joule was named after the English physicist
James Prescott Joule who discovered the concept of
work.

E. Generalization
Sample Problems:
1. How much work do you do by pushing a sack
of rice with a force of 100 N across a distance of
5 meters?
 Given:
F=100N
d= 5m
W=?

W=F x d
=100N X 5 m
W= 500 Nm or J
2. A man applies a force of 15 N to push a wall
but the wall doesnt move even a bit. Calculate
the amount of work done on the wall.
Given:
F= 15 N
d= 0
W=?
W=Fxd
= 15N x 0
W= 0

F. Generalization
The teacher will let the students generalize by
asking them questions.

G. Application
The teacher will show to students different
pictures and the students will identify if there is
work done in the situation.

ASSESSMENT

SOLVING PROBLEM
Direction: Solve for the following

1. Calculate the amount of work done when moving a 576 N crate at a distance of 30
meters.
2. A box is being pushed by a force of 10 N along a 5 meter length floor. How much work
is done on the box?

Answer Key:
Multiple Choice
1. c
2. c
3. c
4. a
5. a

Solving Problem
1. Given: 2. Given:
F=576 N F= 10 N
d= 30 m d= 5 m
W=? W=?
W= F x d W= F x d
W= 576N x 30 m W= 10 N x 5 m
W= 17280 Nm or J W= 50 Nm or J
V. ASSIGNMENT
Direction: Solve for the following

1. How much work is done by a person who used a force of 27.5 N to move a grocery buggy at a
distance of 12.3 m?
