III. Procedure

A. Preliminary Activities:

 Prayer

May I request everyone to please stand. Let’s first ask the guidance of lord almighty. So, lets bow our head
and feel the presence of the lord. Father, please pour out Your blessings upon our whole school community
so that everyone grows in the knowledge of Your truth, love, wisdom, and peace. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.

 Greetings:

Good morning students! Look at your faces in the morning, you are frowning. So again, good morning
students!

 Checking of attendance:
okay for our attendance say or sing the Tungkol sayo by Ms.Regine Velasquez okay

B. Review:
 Can anyone still remember our last lesson? we discuss about stars, so I have a question to you to know if
you really remember our last discussion.

So, what can you say about stars? What is a star?

Stars are huge balls of fire made up of hydrogen and helium. The stars are also called distant sun because
the sun is also a star.

What are the main characteristics of a star?

These are Color, Brightness and Size and also What about

the Color?

blue-white-yellow-red-black (black hole) and color can determine the temperature of the star.

How about Brightness? What are the factors that affect it?

We have Luminosity and Distance. When we say Luminosity measures the energy that the stars
give off per unit in time. And Distance measures how far the star is located from us.
And the Size. It also affects the brightness and the life of a star. The bigger the star is the shorter life
span it has. Lastly the stars twinkle Because the stars light is being refracted or bent when it reaches
the earth’s atmosphere. So, we can see the stars twinkle.

C.Motivation:

Okay may I ask everyone to please stand. Now let’s refresh your mind.

POP THE BALLOON!

Instructions: Divide the class into 3 groups.

The first student must pop the balloon as quickly as possible by sitting on it. When they have popped
their balloon, they must ANSWER the question (paper) inside on it by writing into their group paper,
after answering; they're going to race back and tag the next person on their team and do the same thing as
the first member does. The first team to have all their balloons popped and have a more correct answer
win!

D.Discussion:

Today, we will talk about solar systems.

  Again, what will be our topic?
 Do you have any idea what this is all about?
`
The Solar System is made up of the Sun and all the smaller objects that move around it. Apart from the
Sun, the largest members of the Solar System are the eight major planets.

 How many major planets do we have in the solar system?

When we say planet is a large celestial body that revolves around the sun in fixed orbits. Planets do not have
any light of their own but reflect the light of the sun.

Let’s assume that this is our solar system.

Let us first discuss the sun, which is known as the center of our solar system, and how its gravity holds the
solar system together.

 The Sun is a huge ball of very hot gasses. Its temperature is 15, 000, 000 °C at the center and 5, 000
°C at the surface. The sun is just a middle-sized yellow star; however, it is the largest object in our
solar system.

 The Sun is a major source of energy.

This is how our Sun looks like.

The Sun is the center of our solar system. But we will put the sun in the left corner of our Solar System
model.

The solar system has two types. Terrestrial or rocky planets and gas giant planets. Terrestrial planets are
made of solids like rocks and metal. While gas giant planets are made of primarily of gas, mostly
hydrogen.

The first terrestrial planet is Mercury.

Mercury is less than half the size of Earth. Its gravity is less than half as strong as Earth’s. It has a solid
surface that is covered with craters like our Moon. It has a thin atmosphere, and it doesn't have any moons.
  Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.

 Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system.

 Again, what is the name of the planet that is closest to the sun?

So, we will put the mercury here.

The second planet in our solar system is Venus.

Venus is the second closest planet to our Sun. It revolves around the Sun every 225 Earth days, but its
rotation takes 243 Earth days. One other interesting note is that Venus rotates clockwise, the only planet in
our solar system to do so, and contrary to its own orbit around the Sun.

 It is considered as the twin planet of Earth

 It is also the hottest planet – hot enough to melt lead.
 Venus has no moon.
 Venus is one of only three planets in our solar system which has a perfect circular sphere.

We will put the Venus here.

Let’s have the third planet on our solar system. The Earth.
The five characteristics of Earth necessary to sustain life are the atmosphere, the hydrosphere,
temperature, gravity, and atmospheric pressure. It also has atmosphere that supports and protects life.

 Earth has one moon. We call it "the Moon" because for a long time it was the only one, we knew
about. Many languages have beautiful names for our Moon. It is "Luna" in Italian, Latin, and
Spanish, "Lune" in French, "Mond" in German, and "Selene" in Greek.

We will put the Earth here.

Our fourth planet is Mars

Mars is about half the size of Earth. If Earth were the size of a nickel, Mars would be about as big as a
raspberry. Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky – it looks like a bright red point of
light

 Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, that may be captured asteroids.

We will put Mars here.

Questions:

 What do we call the planet that is considered the hottest and known as the "twin planet" of
the earth?
 What are the five characteristics of the earth that are necessary to sustain life?
 This planet known as the red planet.
 This planet is considered as the second smallest planet.
 Again, can you give the four terrestrial planets?

Since we are done with the four terrestrial planets, we can now proceed to the four gas giant planets.

Our fifth planet is Jupiter

Jupiter has a permanent storm known as the Great Red Spot. Jupiter has 63 moons. The four large moons are
called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

 Jupiter is the 5th planet away from The Sun

 It is the biggest planet in our Solar System
 Jupiter has rings, but they’re too faint to see very well.
 A day on Jupiter is super-fast.

We will put the Jupiter here.

Let’s have the sixth planet on our solar system. The Saturn

It is the second biggest planet but has the lowest density. It has a complex ring system held in place by its
gravitational pull. Saturn has 31 moons and the largest is Titan.
  Its beautiful rings are not solid. They are made up of bits of ice, dust, and rock.
 Other planets have rings. Saturn's rings are the only ones that can be seen from Earth. All you need is
a small telescope.
 Saturn goes around the Sun very slowly. A year on Saturn is more than 29 Earth years.

We will put the Saturn here.

The seventh planet in our solar system is Uranus

It is the third largest planet with a system of 11 thin, dark rings. It has at least 21 moons and the largest is
Titania.

 Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun

 You could fit 63 Earths inside Uranus.
 Uranus is an ‘Ice Giant’
 Uranus has 13 rings.

We will put the Saturn here.

 The last planet of the solar system is the Neptune

It has a giant storm, and it is also the farthest planet.

 Neptune is dark, cold, and very windy.

 It's the last of the planets in our solar system.

 One day on Neptune goes by in 16 hours.

 Neptune has 14 moons.

We will put the Neptune here.

Questions:

 Which planet is the biggest and has rings, but they’re too faint to see very well. It is 5th
planet away from the sun?
 Which planet is the biggest and has rings, but they’re too faint to see very well. It is 5th
planet away from the sun?
 This 7th planet has at least 21 moons and the largest is Titania.
 It's the last of the planets in our solar system. This planet is dark, cold, and very windy and
it has 14 moons.
 Jupiter has 63 moons. The four large moons are called.

E. Generalization

How does the 'Roll The Wheel' function?

1. The teacher will first spin or roll the wheel.

 2. Whenever the arrow points to the picture of the planets or the sun, before answering, students
will raise their hands first.
3. The students that will be answering the question must get the name of the planet and put it on the
right planet image.
4. Then, after that, they will answer the question that is being asked by the teacher.

F. Application

"Arrange me"

Instruction: The class will be divided into four groups. Each group will receive eight planets and a paper.
Chronologically, they need to arrange the solar system and put the name and one characteristic beside each
planet. They can use art materials to make it more creative. After that, they will present their work.
