3.3. Analysis “The teacher will ask the following questions:”

(5 minutes)
1. What are the factors that make the planet habitable?
2. What are the characteristics of planet Earth that makes it habitable?

3.4. Abstraction “The teacher will discuss the Earth: A Habitable Planet”
(10 minutes)
Earth is the only place in the known universe confirmed to host life and is the only
one known for sure to have liquid water in the surface.
These are reasons why planet Earth is a unique one:
1. It has liquid water;
 2. Surface or lithosphere which includes the crust and the upper mantle; and
3. It has atmosphere that shelters it from the worst of the sun’s rays.
Planet Earth is considered habitable because of the following reasons:
1. It has the right distance from the sun;
2. It is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field;
3. It is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere; and
4. It has the right amount of ingredients for life, including water and carbon.

Earth, Venus, and Mars may have similarities:

1. They all are terrestrial planets, made of solid rocks and silicates;
2. They all have an atmosphere;
3. They all almost have the same time to rotate on their axes;
4. Earth and Mars both have water;
5. They all have carbon dioxide; and
6. All have landforms.
Earth, Venus, and Mars have differences:
1. Venus has no water;
2. Venus and Mars don’t have oxygen; and
3. Earth has life forms.

“Terraforming Mars”
Can man change or adjust Mars’ environment to make it more suitable for human
habitation? How? List down your answer on the table.
