Grade 6 Science Q3 - Force, Motion, and Energy
-featured.png)
This engaging course guides learners through force and work, levers, pulleys, ramps, wedges, screws, and wave behavior, culminating in sound as a longitudinal wave. Using simple experiments and Philippine examples (jeepneys, wheelbarrows, flagpoles, ramps), students build science vocabulary, conduct fair tests, and learn to analyze energy transfer and mechanical advantage. Ideal for upper elementary to junior high students who want practical, inquiry-based physics skills for everyday problem solving.

What you'll learn
- Define force and work and describe how simple machines are used to change the direction or size of a force to solve everyday problems.
- Demonstrate through guided investigation the advantages and limitations of levers (Classes 1, 2, and 3) and pulleys, and carry out fair tests to show how levers change the magnitude and direction of a force.
- Identify and describe examples and uses of inclined planes, wedges, and screws, explaining their specific advantages and limitations in making work easier.
- Identify that waves carry energy from a source to a receiver and carry out investigations to observe and describe the features of water waves, including their shape (crests and troughs).
- Identify differences and similarities between longitudinal waves and transverse waves and research using secondary sources to describe wave properties using scientific terms such as amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and velocity.
- Identify sound as an example of a longitudinal wave and describe and explain how the sound heard changes when the source or the receiver is moving (like the shift in pitch of a passing ambulance or jeepney).
