IV. PROCEDURES
Teacher’s Learner’s Activity
Activity
Preliminaries
Prayer
(The teacher will choose a student to lead the prayer) (The students will bow down their
heads and pray)
Greetings
“Good morning, BSE Science!” “Good afternoon, Ma’am/Sir”
“You may take your seats.” (The students will sit down)
Attendance
“Class representative, is there any absent today” (The class representative will say the
absent)
“Can anyone share what you have learned from our previous (A student will raise their hand)
discussion?”
“All you need to do is hold the 3D model of the sun and pass
it to your seatmate while the music is playing and when the
music stops playing that person who holds the model will
answer the question.”
Game Questions:
1. Merging things, like when two elements join to form a new
one?
Answer - Fusion
2. What is the most abundant element in the universe?
Answer - Hydrogen
3. Which element is commonly used in balloons to make them
float?
Answer- Helium
(The song will stop, and the student
will answer the question.)
“Good Job, Now based on our short game what do you think
is our lesson for today?
CORE

read the paragraph)
RADIOACTIVE ZONE
“Now let’s discuss how the sun formed, anyone who wants to
read?”
“Okay very good, It was formed about 4.5 billion years ago from
a hydrogen and helium-rich molecular cloud compressed by a
nearby supernova shockwave. Gravity caused regions to
collapse, leading to nuclear fusion and the birth of the Sun.
Later, we will discuss the interior of the sun.”
“According to Smithsonian
astrophysicist Mark Weber, “A gas is a
state of matter in which the material is
not ionized, so all of the atoms still
have all of their electrons, and the
sun’s gas is in a state called plasma,”
“No Ma’am.”
“As a star, the Sun doesn’t have any moons, but the planets and
their moons orbit the Sun and orbit the center of the Milky Way
about every 230 million Earth years, bringing the planets,
asteroids, comets, and other objects with it.”
Grade 8 – Earth and Space compare comets, meteors, and
asteroids S8ES-IIg22
(The teacher will show the picture and model of the structure of
the Sun)
(A student raised their hand)
“What can you see in the center of the sun?” “Sir we can see the core at the center
of the sun.”
“Very good”
(A student will raise their hand and
read the paragraph)
“Because the proton has been mentioned as one of the sun’s “In the Sun's core, hydrogen atoms

Sometimes, when hydrogen atoms
fuse, they create helium and release a
neutron as a byproduct. This neutron
doesn't stick around in the Sun's core,
instead, it flies off into space.”

Group 1 Activity
Sun 3D Model
Materials Needed:
-Scissors
-Colored Paper
-Glue/Double Sided type
-Carolina/Cardboard (The students will start the activity)
Instructions:
Instructions:
1. Fill the large clear bowl or container with water to represent
the surface of the Sun.
2. Pour a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface of the water
to represent the Sun’s atmosphere.
3. Cut out small irregular shapes from black paper or
cardboard to represent sunspots.
4. Place the sunspot cutouts on the surface of the cooking oil.
5. Turn off the room lights and shine the flashlight or lamp
onto the surface of the “Sun” (water and cooking oil mixture)
from above to represent sunlight.
6. Observe as the sunspots cast shadows on the surface of the
“Sun.”
7. Slowly move the flashlight or lamp closer to the surface of
the “Sun” to simulate the increase in solar activity and the
occurrence of a solar flare.
8. Observe as the sunspots react to the increase in solar
activity, potentially changing in appearance or behavior.
CRITERIA:
*Cooperation- All members participate and work together on
the assigned task. (5points)
*Content- The topic is clear and relevant to the topic.
(5 points)
*Time Management- The students finish their tasks on time.
(5 points)
“The teacher will give 5 minutes for the student to finish the
assigned activity.”
(The teacher will grade the work of Group 1 and group 2) (Group 2 will present their task and their
answer)
E. Developing Mastery
Analysis
“What are the three main interior layers of the Sun??” (A student will raise their hand and
answer the question)
“The Sun's interior is divided further
into three parts – core, radiative zone,
and convective zone.”
F. Practical Application of
Concepts and Skills in Daily
Living
Apply
“As a BSE Science educator, how do we apply real-world (A student will raise their hand and
examples when studying about the Sun? answer the question)
“Very good”
G. Evaluating Learning
ASSIMILATION
To assess what you have learned we will have a short quiz.” (The students will be listening)
“Exchange your paper with your sit mate and write corrected
by.”
(The teacher will tell the correct answers and do an item
analysis)
I. Additional Activities for
Applications and Remediation
