 III. Learning Tasks:

Elicit Materials
Have you been to a carnival?
Have you tried riding an octopus?
pictures
Who have tried to play a top?
video clips
How about a Beyblade?
top/Beyblade
Is it fun to ride an octopus? Why?
What happened to a top/Beyblade when played?
Engage

Motivation:

 Divide the learners into 3 groups

 The teacher will show cutout pictures of the
Philippine map and a medium size ball.
 Instruct 3 learners (representative of every group)
to paste the map on the ball and let it spin using
their forefingers or index finger. The learner who
had the most number of complete turn before
the ball stops will be the winner.
cutout pictures
Presentation: of Philippine
map, ball
 The teacher will show a globe
Ask:
What does this globe represent?
(It represents the Earth)
Based on the activity that we had, how are the
globe and the ball similar?
(Both the globe and the ball can spin)
and how are they different?
(The ball spins in an upright position while the
globe tilts in a certain angle)

Explore
 Divide the class into 4 groups PowerPoint
 Check the materials brought by the pupils. See presentation
to it that the materials are complete. Give each
group the activity sheets, manila paper and Activity sheets
marking pen.
 Give other necessary instructions in doing the Manila paper
activity, the data to be accomplish, group
presenter, member’s role/responsibility, and Globe
 precautionary measures to take, etc.
 Let the pupils do the activity “Describing the Marking pen
Movement of the Earth”
 Supervised the pupils as they do the activity Colored chalk

(See attached activity sheets)

Explain
 Have the group representative present results of
the activity. Two (2) minutes may be given per
group presentations.
 While discussing the activity, check the pupils’
responses to the activity questions.
 Discuss the key concepts:
The globe is a model of the earth. It spins
and turns around. The earth moves similarly as
the globe does. It rotates around an imaginary
line, which runs from the North Pole to the
South Pole continuously. This imaginary line is
called the axis (plural: axes). It takes the earth
24 hours (one day) to spin around once on its
axis.
The earth’s axis is tilted at approximately
23.5 degrees or 23 ½ degrees. It rotates in
counter-clockwise direction. It rotates from
west to east. This makes the sun seems to rise
in the east and travel across the sky then sets
in the west.
Elaborate

Generalization:

 Based on the activities that we had, who can

describe the rotation of the Earth?

The Earth spins an imaginary line, which Globe

runs from the North Pole to the South Pole
continuously. This imaginary line is called the axis Strips
(plural: axes). The spinning motion of the Earth is
called rotation. It takes the earth 24 hours (one PowerPoint
day) to spin around once on its axis. Presentation
The earth’s axis is tilted at approximately
23.5 degrees or 23 ½ degrees. It rotates in
counter-clockwise direction. It rotates from west
to east. This makes the sun seems to rise in the
east and travel across the sky then sets in the
west.
 Application:

 Present to the class a globe with strips of

questions pasted on different parts of it.
 Ask a volunteer to spin the globe and answer the
question intended for him/her as the globe stops.

Questions pasted on the globe

1. What is an axis?
(An axis is an imaginary line that runs through
the Earth)

2. At what angle does the Earth tilt on its axis? (

The Earth tilts 23.5 degrees or 23 ½ degrees on
its axis)

3. In what direction does the Earth rotate?

(The Earth rotates from West to East)

4. How long does it take the Earth to make a

complete rotation on its axis?
(It take the Earth 24 hours or one day to make
a complete rotation on its axis.)

5. The movement of the globe as it spins and

reaches the point from where it started is
called _____? (rotation)
