activity entitled “DESCRIBE ME”

Mechanics:
1. The class will be divided into four
groups, each group will choose a leader
and secretary to assist and guide the
members.
2. Label the five layers of the Earth’s
atmosphere
3. Write your answer in the manila paper.
4. You only have 10 minutes to do your
activity.

Materials:
 Manila paper
 Marker

and the events happening on
that layer. None Ma’am
GROUP 2
The assign task is label and
describe the mesosphere

work.

Very good everyone!

ELABORATE What is Earth’s atmosphere? Ma’am it is a protective layer of
gases that surrounds the planet.

Precisely! Atmosphere contains

different types of gases. Consequently,
air is made up mostly nitrogen (78 %)
and oxygen (21 %) gases. Nitrogen is
the most abundant gas and is essential
for all living things to grow. Oxygen on
the other hand is necessary for
humans and animals for survival, and
this gas is given off by the plants as
one of the by-products during
photosynthesis

Ma’am, the layers of the

atmosphere are troposphere,
What are the layers of the stratosphere, mesosphere,
atmosphere? thermosphere and exosphere.
Very good! We have five layers of the
Earth’s atmosphere;

Troposphere is the lowest layer and

has densest air. Also known as weather
sphere because the cloud formation
and precipitation occur in this layer.
Temperature in troposphere decrease Ma’am, the temperature in the

Next is the stratosphere. What is

stratosphere?

Very good! it is happened due to the

high concentration of ozone gas in the
lower stratosphere.

Ozone absorbs ultraviolet rays from

the sun and infrared radiation from
Earth’s surface, heating the
stratosphere.

The high temperature also impedes Ma’am, the third layer of the

Do you have a question? Clarification?

If none, answer this question.

That exactly correct! Also, without

them life on Earth would survive.

less electricity.
