III. LEARNING TASKS

A. Elicit
- Let us first have a review of some
concepts. - Rotation is the movement of the
- Who can differentiate rotation and earth on its own axis while
revolution? Revolution is the movement of the
earth around the sun.

- Very good! - It takes 24 hours ma’am to

complete one rotation.
- How long does it take to complete one
rotation? - It takes 365 days or 1 year to
- That’s right! complete the earth’s revolution
around the sun sir.
- How about the earth’s revolution? How
long will it take to complete one revolution?
- That’s correct! It seems that you have fully
understood the Earth’s motion.

B. Engagement
 - Now, I need 9 pupils to come here in front
and arranged these jumbled words.

- (Pupils will perform the activity)

- The words are Sun, Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
- Place it on the space provided in the Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
board. - They are names of the planets in
our solar system sir.

- Yes, sir!
- Well done, class. What have you observed
with the words you had formed?
- That’s right!
- I have here a short video presentation and
I want you to take some notes and observe it - Students will read the objectives
carefully. (The teacher will play the video) after the teacher
- Before we go further into our discussion,
let us read first our objectives.
- Okay class, repeat after me.

- In order for us to know what our topic is for

today, I have here a picture of our Solar System.

- Yes, sir!
- Our topic for today is all about the
Sun and the Different Planets in
the Solar System.
- On the video and picture that I’ve shown,
does anyone of you can now tell what would be
our topic or lesson for today? - Yes, sir!

- Very good! Today, we will be discussing

about the Sun and the Different Planets in the
Solar System.
- Are you ready to learn?

C. Exploration
- This time we will have a group activity. Let
them choose a leader, secretary and reporter.
- Each group will have a different task (Draw
Lots). But before I give the instructions for your
activities, let us first read and understand the
rubrics.

Rubrics:
Promptness – 5 pts
Behavior – 5 pts
 Cooperation – 10 pts
Creativity – 10 pts
Correctness – 20 pts
TOTAL – 50 PTS

- Now that we already know the rubrics, let’s

proceed to the activity:

Group 1: Arrange and identify the planets in

the Solar System from largest to smallest.
Group 2: Arrange and identify the planets in - The pupils will perform their
the Solar System from smallest to largest. different tasks
Group 3: Arrange and identify the planets in
the Solar System from farthest to nearest.

- Are there any clarifications? If none, you

may begin. You have 10 minutes to prepare.
Timer starts now!
- Group 1 will present their work.
- Okay, class. Time’s up! Everybody takes
your seats. Let us listen and observe each group’s
presentations.

- Group 1, you may proceed. - Yes ma’am. Group 2 will present

D. Explanation
 - So class, what is a Solar System? - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
- That’s correct! Thank you ___. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
- In addition to planets, the Solar System also
consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor
planets, and dust and gas. - Yes sir!
- What are the planets in our Solar System?

- Very good! All of your answers are correct.

- Let’s talk about the sun, is the sun a star?

- Yes, it is. Now remember class that the

sun’s energy comes from nuclear fusion (where
hydrogen is converted to helium) within its core. - Mercury, the closest planet to
This energy is released from the sun in the form of the sun, Mercury is only a bit larger

hotter than Mercury. The

- The teacher will further discuss after the - Earth, the third planet from the
pupils’ answers. sun, Earth is a water world, with
two-thirds of the planet covered by
ocean. It’s the only world known to
harbor life. Earth’s atmosphere is
rich in life-sustaining nitrogen and
oxygen.
- Mars, the fourth planet from the
sun, is a cold, dusty place. The
dust, an iron oxide, gives the
planet its reddish cast. Mars
shares similarities with Earth: It is
rocky, has mountains and valleys,
and storm systems ranging from
localized tornado-like dust devils to
planet-engulfing dust storms.
- Jupiter, the fifth planet from the
sun, Jupiter is huge and is the
most massive planet in our solar
system. It’s a mostly gaseous
world, mostly hydrogen and
helium. Its swirling clouds are
colorful due to different types of
trace gases.
- Saturn, the sixth planet from the
sun is known most for its rings.
- Uranus, the seventh planet from
the sun, Uranus is an oddball.
Uranus is about the same size as
Neptune.
- Neptune, the eighth planet from
the sun, Neptune is known for
strong winds — sometimes faster
than the speed of sound. Neptune
is far out and cold. Neptune is
 about 17 times as massive as
Earth.
E. Elaboration
- Again class, what is a Solar System? - The Solar System is made up of
all the planets that orbit our Sun. In
addition to planets, the Solar
