Science
Quarter 3 – Module 4
Movement of Objects Along Different
Paths
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Science Grade 3 SSES Alternative Delivery Mode
(ADM) module on Movement of Objects Along Different Paths.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints
in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in
the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will
help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage
and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What I Need 6to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It will help you
master the skill in describing the movements of objects along different paths.
The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of
students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond
with the textbook you are now using.
 The module is divided into two lessons, mainly:
 Lesson 1– Movements of Objects in Different Paths
 Lesson 2 – Describe Movements of Objects in Different Paths

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. describe the movements of objects;
2. identify and compare the movements of objects in different paths; and
3. recognize the value of movements of objects in observing and
performing worthwhile activities.

Lesson
Movements of Objects in
1 Different Paths
8
 You see movements around you. Things move because there is someone
or something that makes them move.
In this part, you will learn the movements of objects in different paths.

 What’s New

Look at the pictures below.

Imagine you are playing in a playground. Visualize how things move
around you.

What is the
movement of:
A. Swing
B. Carousel
C. Slide?

10
What is It

There are so many ways in which things move.

10
In the park, the swing moves forward and backward. The carousel goes
around a circle. The slide goes down straight.
The following are the different patterns of motion.
1. Linear motion- is a movement of an object in a straight path. For
example a kid running forward in a straight line is doing a linear
motion.

Straight path

2. Circular motion- is a movement of object in circle or rotation path.

For example, a moving Ferris wheel is

moving in a circular path, which means the
movement is in circle.

Circular path

3. Zigzag motion- is a motion in which the path is making

sharp angles.

For example, a bus travelling in a zigzag road.

Zigzag path

4. Up and down motion- is a motion showing

upward and downward or alternate movement.
11
For example, sitting and playing in a seesaw. It
is moving in an up and down path.
11
Another example is an elevator
going up and down.

Up and Down Path

5. Back and forth motion- is a motion

 repeatedly moving in one direction and
then in an opposite direction.

For example an old woman sitting on a

rocking chair. The back and forth motion of
the rocking chair creates a back and forth
path.

Another example is swinging back and forth.

Back and forth path
