Lesson Plan Grade 10 Science

THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND

Rationale We humans are only beginning tounderstand the entities and forces
governing the mechanism of the universe through science.in this
chapter we are going to explore much larger envronment where
distance and measure oftime dwarf our small world we live in.

CONTENT UNDERSTANDING
Content Standards The learner demonstrate an understanding of;
 The theory of plate tectonics, its supporting evidences on its
existence and the processes involved in plate movements;
and
 The earth’s landmasses that broke apart to form continents.

Essential Questions  How did the astronomers come to the conclusion that the
universe are expanding?
 How does the Big Bang Theory describe the birth and the
future of the universe?

STRATEGIES FOR INQUIRY

Inquiry Stimulus The universe is continously expanding with infinite possibilities.
Like the universe, we should also broaden our horizon and have an
open mind to the many possibilities and opportunities that might
come your way to improve yourself and other people.
Inquiry Questions  As a student, how will you be open to the opportunties that
may come to you?
 How will you deal with situations and with other peope
around you that somehow makes you weaker?

Interactions
Deepen
 Discuss the Galactic Cluster and the Galactic
Collision and Interactions.

Activity 1.3
Directions: Answer the following questions and be
prepare for a random selection of students to share
his/her answers.

1. What is a Galaxy?
2. What causes stars to group together and form
galaxies?
3. How would you classify our own galaxy, the
Milky Way?
4. What makes Galaxies different from one
another?

DAY 4: Sci-Fi Movies: Facts and Myths about space

Transfer

Activity 1.4
Directions: Evaluate weather a scene in a sci-fi movie
about space is scientifically true or is just a myth. At the
end of the movie, make a reaction paper aboutyour
observations on the scenes.

DAY 5: The dynamic Universe

 Discuss the dynamic Universe, the Big Bang
theory, the expanding of the universe and the fate
of the universe.

Activity 1.5
Directions: Answer the following questions:
1. How did theastronomers come to the conclusion
that the universe is expanding? Site some
evidences.
2. How does the big bang theory describe the birth
and the future of the universe?
3. What quality can possibly determine the final
state of the universe? How will it affect the
probable fate of the universe?

METACOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSEESSMENT

Assessment tools  Written work (WW)
 Performance task(PeTa)
 Quarterly Assessment(QA)

Metacognitive When the introduction is done, ask these reflection questions:

Extension  How do you figure out the universe you are live-in?
 What properties does our unuverse have?
 How vast is the universe?

Cross-Disciplinary Social Sciences

Applications Balance, order and harmony are imirtant aspects in keeping any
system intact, from the smallest up to the largest that exist in the
universe. As a member of a society, being organized andmaintaing
order by following rules and regulations are importantto maintain a
harmonious relationship with others.
