the new lesson They could also download the Mozaik or Google Expeditions app for more
animations. The teacher will post guide questions to further aid them in
EXPLORE learning.
Option 2 (Offline): At home, the students will recreate the two activities
found in the module:
Activity 1: Objects at rest (p. 5-6)
Activity 2: Balance of forces (p. 6-7) (the teacher will give simpler directions
because of the absence of spring balance)
Option 1 (Online): The teacher will meet with the students through Google
Hangout or Microsoft Teams to share their learning. Afterward, the teacher
will ask them to watch “Why Don’t We Fall into the Center of the Earth?” by
