IV. PROCEDURES
1. Checking of assignment.
Okay class before we begin to our new lesson exchange your
paper with your seatmate.
2. Drill

A. Reviewing previous lesson or Let the pupils sing a song about the Solar System. After that
presenting the new lesson ask students, if you were given a chance to go to outer space,
where will it be? Why?
3. Review
The pupils will identify the pictures of other member of the
solar system that the teacher will show and tell something
about the pictures.
Motivation

B. Establishing a purpose for the

lesson
P 1st letter 1cm from letter J going to South
L 2nd letter from letter N going West
A 3rd letter 1cm from letter F to North
N 4th letter 2cm from the letter L to East
E 5th letter 1cm from letter K to North
T 6th letter 2cm from letter R going to East

Say the objective of your lesson:

Today we will learn about planets in the solar system and their
characteristics.
 EXPLORATION: Group Work
1. Setting of standards/Safety Tips
Okay class let’s have a group activity and before we proceed to
our group activity, anyone who can recall the rules and guideline
in having group activity to perform a successful work?
a) Help each other
b) Accepts the opinions and the ideas of your groupmates
c) Be responsible
d) Be positive and trust each other
e) Work silently
2. Activity
Group 1: Design a poster about planets in the solar system.
C. Presenting examples / instances of
Group 2: Make a poem on how to protect our solar system.
the new lesson
Group 3: Dramatization (2-3mins) showing the distance of planets
in the solar system and their characteristics.
Group 4: Create a simple song about Planets in the Solar System.

Approach: Allow students to have an interaction with their classmates,

they can draw and create a simple song or lyrics about Planets
in the solar System.
Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Technique: Let the students build connection to their partner by giving
each of them at least two characteristics of every planets.

D. Discussing new concepts and Mnemonic Activity:

practicing new skills #1
My Very Excellent Mom Just Served Us Noodles.
M-Mercury, V-Venus, E-Earth, M-Mars, J-Jupiter, S-Saturn, U-Uranus,
N-Neptune
 Direction: Label the planets from nearest to farthest.

E. Discussing new concepts and Explanation:

practicing new skills #2 The Solar System is made up of the Sun and all of the smaller objects
that move around it. Apart from the Sun, the largest members of the Solar
System are the eight major planets.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANETS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Two categories of Planets
1) Terrestrial Planets
2) Jovian Planets

MERCURY

 Is the smallest planet.

 Is the closest planet to the Sun.
 VENUS
 The second planet from the sun.
 Venus is slightly smaller than Earth.

EARTH

 Earth, the third planet from the sun and the

largest terrestrial planet
 Is the only planet known to host living beings
and the only one known to have liquid water
on its surface.

MARS

 The fourth planet from the sun, Mars, the

Red Planet.
 The red color of the surface comes from iron
oxide or rust in the soil.
JUPITER

 Further from the sun, past a ring of

asteroids, lies the largest planet in our solar
system.
 The first of the gas giant planets.

SATURN

 The rings orbit the planet in a thin band

about a mile thick.
 The interior of Saturn, like Jupiter, is made
of mostly hydrogen and helium.

URANUS

 Uranus spins on an axis parallel to its orbit.

 This cold planet is four times the size of
Earth and is made of a large atmosphere of
methane with a dense core of frozen
methane.

NEPTUNE

 Is the farthest one from the sun and, like

Uranus, is a very cold place. 
 The atmosphere is mostly methane, which
gives the planet its blue color.
