B.   Activity

Motivation – CRUSH THE ALIENS

1.    The students will play the game called Crush the Aliens.

2.    The students will be presented with letters that they need to form a word by crushing the aliens in the
presented letters. And, the letter “X” serves as the aliens of this game.

3.    The following are the words that they need to form

·         XBXXIGXBAXNGXTXHEXORXY
 ·         XEXRXTXHXFOXRXMAXTIXON

·         XSXOLXARSXYSXTEXM

ANSWERS:

-       BIG BANG THEORY

-       EARTH FORMATION

-       SOLAR SYSTEM

 
4.    After which, the teacher will call random students to answer the probing questions related to the activity that
has been done.
 
C.   Analysis – PROCESS QUESTIONS

1.    The students will answer the following questions:

 What is your prior knowledge about the Big Bang Theory?

         D. Abstraction

1. The teacher will conduct an interactive discussion on the lesson.

2. The class will be divided into 5 groups.

3. After which the students will have an activity called “Pick and Tell”.

4. Each group should pick in the box about what type of hypotheses that will be going to discuss within their
groups.
 5. Then, each group should summarize the hypothesis, list key evidence supporting it, and explain any
controversies or counterarguments. Afterward, they will choose one representative per group to discuss the
assigned topic to them.

E. Application

1. The class will have another group activity then they will have the same group that they had in the previous
activity.

2. They will have an activity called “Creative Expression”.

3. Each group will be asked to reflect on what they've learned and consider the challenges of finding life on other
planets.

4. Each group will be asked also to create a visual representation (e.g., drawing, poster) that illustrates the
importance of Earth's unique properties for supporting life. They should include key features like atmosphere,
water, and climate.

5. They will be given materials for this activity.

        F. Generalization

·         What is the hypothesis that explains the origin of the universe and solar system?

·         Why is the earth the only planet that can support life?

 
III.           EVALUATION – MULTIPLE CHOICE
Directions: Read each succeeding statement carefully. In a ¼ sheet of paper, write T if you think a statement is TRUE.  Write
F if you think a statement is FALSE.
 

1. What is the Nebular Hypothesis?

 c) An explanation for the Big Bang

2. Why is the Big Bang Theory significant in understanding the universe's origin?

 a) It explains how Earth was formed.

b) It describes the initial explosion of our solar system.

c) It provides insights into the origin of the entire universe.

3. Which of the following is NOT a hypothesis explaining the origin of the solar system?

 a) Nebular Hypothesis

b) The Great Flood Theory

c) Capture Theory

4. What evidence supports the Nebular Hypothesis for the origin of the solar system?

a) The presence of asteroids

b) Observations of other solar systems

c) Fossil records

5. What makes Earth unique among the planets in our solar system in terms of supporting life?

a) It has the highest average temperature.

b) It has a thin atmosphere.

c) It has properties necessary for life, such as liquid water and a protective atmosphere.

 
 IV.          ASSIGNMENT: ORAL PRESENTATION
                 

Instruction:  Create a visual timeline of the universe's formation from the Big Bang to the present day. Include key events such as
the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. Add descriptions or annotations for each major milestone.
