Identify various ways physics enhances our quality of life across different areas, including household activities, health and safety, work productivity, and leisure.
2. Compare and contrast translational and rotational motion in terms of their respective linear and angular quantities.
3. Demonstrate through simple activities the relationship between linear and angular quantities.
human movement (e.g., exercises, dance, and gymnastics)
ergonomic designs (e.g., buildings, vehicles, furniture, and toys).
4. Apply concepts of translational and rotational motion to design and build prototypes of efficient simple and compound machines.
5. Explain the characteristics of efficient simple and compound machines.
6. Explain how simple hydraulic systems use fluid principles to enhance simple and compound machines.
7. Identify applications of Archimedes’ principle and Pascal’s principle in various contexts, such as home, community, businesses, and transportation.
8. Design simple practical activities or models to determine how variations in physical properties, such as shape, mass, and volume, affect an object’s ability to float in a fluid.
9. Discuss safety practices in dealing with electrical hazards, such as overloading, damaged insulation, damp electrical conditions, faulty wiring, and electrocution.
10. Propose ways to minimize energy loss and energy wastage in homes, schools, local businesses, and other parts of society.
11. Discuss properties of light and sound waves related to communications technology, navigation, medicine, and entertainment; and
12. Identify innovations related to sound and light, such as soundproofing, sound amplifiers, LEDs, holograms, and lasers.
13. Use information from secondary resources to report how Louis Pasteur combined research from the fields of chemistry and biology, which has helped scientists to understand the cause of some diseases and prevent infection.
14. Construct a table using product labels that describe the function of the different substances (elements or compounds) present in household products such as those in bleach, detergents, baking powder, and personal care products such as shampoo, soaps, and toothpaste.
15. Explain the benefits and potential risks of using and disposing of household and personal care products, by considering their chemical composition, environmental impact, and human health effects, referring to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
