This is the Grade 5 Science Quarter 3 Module 1 self-learning module, Measuring Motion in Terms of Distance and Time (Alternative Delivery Mode, First Edition, 2020). It is written for Grade 5 learners studying at home or in class. It teaches them to describe an object’s motion by tracing and measuring how its position changes over time. By the end, learners can define motion, use a reference point, measure distance with the right tools, and compute speed from distance and time.

What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- define motion;
- understand the concepts of speed and time on distance traveled;
- measure the speed of an object;
- identify the measuring device used to measure distance; and
- appreciate the importance of reference point in understanding motion.
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1 – Motion. Learners push a toy car with more and more force and record how far and how long it travels. They learn that force is a push or a pull, and that motion is a change in position compared with a reference point.
- Lesson 2 – Distance and Speed. Learners measure distance with proper tools, convert metric units, and calculate speed using the formula speed = distance ÷ time.
Key ideas in Lesson 1: force, motion, and reference point
- Force is a push or a pull. The module’s examples include lifting a sack of rice, pushing a stalled car, mopping a floor with a rag, and closing a door.
- Motion is a change of place or position over time, caused by an applied force. It is also described as a change in position with respect to a reference point.
- A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to tell whether something is moving. For a boy leaving home for school, his home is the reference point.
- Distance is how far something moves. Its unit is the meter (m). Centimeters (cm) are used for short distances and kilometers (km) for long ones.
- Time is measured in seconds (s). Minutes or hours are used for longer durations.
In the “Push and Go” activity, a harder push makes the toy car travel a longer distance. A gentler push makes it travel a shorter distance.
Key ideas in Lesson 2: measuring distance and speed
Distance and measuring tools
Distance is a measure of how far or close two points are, based on the actual travel of an object. It is a scalar quantity, which means it has size (magnitude) only. In science, distance should be exact and measured with a proper device, such as:
- ruler
- meter stick
- tape measure
- measuring wheel
- ultrasonic distance measurer
A stopwatch measures time, not distance.
The metric system
Using one standard unit helps people understand each other’s data. The meter is the standard unit of length. Prefixes change its size: kilo- for long distances, and deci-, centi-, and milli- for short ones.
| Conversion | Value |
|---|---|
| 1 kilometer (km) | 1,000 meters (m) |
| 1 meter | 100 centimeters (cm) |
| 1 meter | 1,000 millimeters (mm) |
The module’s example: Linda travels 10 kilometers from town A to town B, which is 10,000 meters.
Speed = distance ÷ time
Speed is the distance traveled over a period of time. The faster an object moves, the less time it needs to cover a given distance. In a fixed amount of time, a faster object covers a greater distance. Speed can be written in meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h or kph), or miles per hour (mi/h).
The formula can be arranged three ways:
- speed = distance ÷ time
- distance = speed × time
- time = distance ÷ speed
The module’s worked example: David runs 300 meters in 60 seconds, so his speed is 300 m ÷ 60 s = 5 m/s.
In the “Moving Buses” activity, three buses each travel 50 meters:
| Bus | Distance | Time | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 50 m | 5 s | 10 m/s |
| B | 50 m | 10 s | 5 m/s |
| C | 50 m | 20 s | 2.5 m/s |
Bus A is the fastest because it covers the same distance in the least time.
Activities in the module
- What’s In (Lesson 1): a word search of five words linked to motion.
- Push and Go: a toy car, a meter stick or ruler, and a stopwatch, over five trials.
- Motion in Everyday Life: list five activities with motion at home and five at school.
- Illustrating Motion: draw a picture that shows motion and a reference point.
- Map activity: find a route and the distance from your house to a friend’s house.
- The Amazing Marble: roll a marble down a ruler ramp propped on one, two, then three books. Learners see that a higher ramp gives greater speed and distance.
- What I Can Do: classify daily activities and calculate the speeds of a car, truck, bicycle, tricycle, and train.
How to use this module
- Start with the pretest (What I Know). It has 10 multiple-choice items and shows how much you already know.
- Work through each lesson in order. Go through What’s In, What’s New, What is It, and What’s More, then answer the guide questions in your science notebook.
- Review with What I Have Learned. It has fill-in-the-blank and true-or-false items.
- Apply and assess. Do What I Can Do, the 10-item Assessment, and the Additional Activities.
- Check your work. The answer key is at the back. Use it honestly, only after answering.
Write all answers on a separate sheet of paper or in your notebook, not on the module.
For parents: the module asks you to help with simple materials: a toy car, a ruler or meter stick, a stopwatch, a marble, and books of equal thickness.
For teachers: many answers in the key are marked as possible answers. Measured results will vary with the force used and the thickness of the books, so check that learners’ speeds match their own data.

Guide Questions
Directions: Based on the activity, answer the following questions. Write your answers in your science notebook.
- What action makes the toy car move?
- In which trial did the toy car travel the shortest distance? Why?
- In which trial did the toy car travel the longest distance? Why?
What is It
The illustrations in the previous activity indicate that force is exerted when you push the toy car. When you lift a sack of rice, you exert force by pulling the sack upward. When you push a stalled car, you exert force to move it forward. When you mop a floor using a rag, you exert force by moving the rag back and forth. When you close a door, you exert force by pulling on the doorknob. So, we define force as a push or a pull.
Forces may initiate and influence motion. When you exert force, therefore, motion is produced. Motion is a change of place or position in relation to time due to the applied force. How far it moves, or it is moved is the distance. Distance is measured in meter (m) same as for the length according to the International Bureau of Weights and Measurements (BIMP), but the standard unit for distance on a smaller scale is centimeter (cm) and kilometer (km) for the bigger one.
When there is movement, there is motion. Motion is also defined as a change in position with respect to a reference point. A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point
The fastness and slowness of a motion at a certain distance can be calculated using the time it takes for an object to cover the distance. The second (s) is the basic unit of time, but for longer durations, minute (min or m) or hour (h) may be used.

- How can you measure the speed of the skateboarder?
What is It
Distance is a measure of how far or close two points are in relation to one another based on the actual travel of an object. It can be measured in a variety of ways, including time, landmarks, and body parts.
The total path length is commonly used to describe distance. It is the distance between a known reference point and a designated position. Distance is a scalar quantity, which means that it can only be expressed in magnitude. It is measured in units such as meters, kilometers, feet, and so on. The standard unit for distance, however, is the meter.
There are appropriate tools and ways to measure distance so that you can tell whether an object is far or near. Distance should always be exact, measured accurately, and based on a standard unit of measurement in science. Distance should be measured scientifically with a measuring device such as a ruler, meter stick, tape measure, measuring wheel, or ultrasonic distance measurer.
[illustration: devices used in measuring distance, showing a speedometer reading “6942.0 km” with a unit of km/hr, a ruler, folding rulers, a coiled tape measure, and a retractable tape measure]
Illustrated by Elpidio S. Palacio Jr. and Jose Marie E. Baculi Figure 3. Devices used in measuring distance
Measurement: The Metric System
We can better understand each other’s data if we use a standard unit of measurement. Using different units of measurement can lead to misunderstanding and confusion.
Meter is the standard unit of measurement for distance or length in the metric system. When referring to a distant place, you simply just add the prefix kilo. If the length is very short, prefixes such as deci-, centi-, and milli- are used.
By conversion, we can get the following values used in the metric system of measurement:
METRIC SYSTEM CONVERSION
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m) 1 meter = 100 centimeters (cm) 1 meter = 1000 millimeter (mm)
Example:
Linda is traveling from town A to town B with a distance of 10 kilometers. How many meters was she able to travel?
Answer: 10000 meters
Speed: Distance over Time
Speed is the distance traveled over a certain period of time. A moving object’s distance traveled is affected by its speed, or the rate at which it moves. The faster an object moves, the less time it takes to travel at a given distance. On the other hand, the slower the object moves, the longer it takes to travel the same distance.
Thus, the faster an object moves in a given time, the greater the distance it travels, and the slower it moves, the less distance it travels.
Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by a moving object by the time it takes to travel the distance.
This can be expressed as:
Speed = distance traveled / time or S = d / t
[transcriber’s note: the formula is printed as a fraction with distance traveled over time, and d over t]
The measurement of speed can be in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers/hour (km/h or kph), or miles per hour (mi/h).
For example, David was able to run 300 meters in just 60 seconds or 1 minute. What is his speed?
Solution: speed = d / t = 300 m / 60 s = 5 m/s
The formula speed can be rearranged, just like any other equation. It can be rearranged in three ways:
1.) speed = distance ÷ time 2.) distance = speed × time 3.) time = distance ÷ speed

Activity 1: The Amazing Marble
Table 1. The distance traveled by the marble (cm)
| Number of Books | Distance travelled by the marble (cm) | Time Covered (s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 book (setup A) | 40 | 4 |
| 2 books (setup B) | 95 | 4.25 |
| 3 books (setup C) | 140 | 4 |
Note: The answers on the table may vary based on the thickness of the book used in the activity.
Guide Questions:
- Setup A. Having the least height of the ramp among the other setup, the marble was not able to travel faster. The slower it moves, the less the distance it travels.
- Setup C. Due to the greatest height of the ramp among the other setup, the marble travelled longer and faster. The faster an object moves, the greater the distance it travels.
- Measuring distance can tell how an object travel. If the object travel in a certain time then you can calculate the speed of the object, so you can compare things in motion.
- The height of the ramp affects the speed and the distance travelled by the marble [?]. The higher the ramp, the greater the speed of the marble and the greater distance it travels.
- Speed of the marble
Note: (The answers may vary, it must be based on the data given in table 1.)
- 10 cm/s
- 22.35 cm/s
- 35 cm/s
Activity 2: Moving Buses
Table 2. Speed of the buses with the same distance travelled
| Bus | Distance travelled | Time | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 50 meters | 5 s | 10 m/s |
| B | 50 meters | 10 s | 5 m/s |
| C | 50 meters | 20s | 2.5 m/s |
Guide Questions
- Yes. The buses are in motion.
- Bus A move the fastest and Bus C moved the slowest.
- By looking at the travelled time of the buses.
- The formula in finding the speed is: speed = distance/time
- The order from the slowest to fastest is:
a. Bus C
b. Bus B
c. Bus A
