Name of Learner: ____________________________________

Grade Level: 11__________________________________
Strand/Track: ACADEMICS – HUMSS and ABM_______________
Section: Amethyst, Emerald and Sapphire
Date: October 5-9,2020 (Week 1)

NOTE: All answer in the activities will be written in one whole sheet of intermediate
paper. Label your answers properly per activity.
Activity 1: “What’s UP?”
Read the short selection acquired from NASA’s account on Exoplanet Exploration
(www.exoplanets.nasa.gov).
The concept depicts Kepler-186f, the first validated Earth-size planet to orbit a distant star in
the habitable zone – a range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the
planet’s surface. The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms that the Earth-size planets exist in
the habitable zones of other stars and signals a significant step closer to finding a world
similar to Earth.
On a separate sheet of one whole intermediate paper, answer the following process
questions.
1. What is the selection all about?
2. What are some of the proofs presented making our scientists believe that it is Earth like?
3. Why do you think NASA and the scientists continuously search for Earth like planets? Is
there really a need for us to find another Earth like planet? Explain why.

Activity 2: “What I Know”
