Quarter 4: SCIENCE 6 (Week 7-8)

I. LESSON TITLE Earth’s Motion

II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES (MELCs) EC: Demonstrate rotation and revolution of the Earth
using a globe to explain day and night and the sequence of seasons. MELC: Differentiate between rotation and
revolution and describe the effects of the Earth’s motion.
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT Motions of the Earth / Rotation and Revolution
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
You have learned from your previous lesson that Philippines has two distinct seasons in relation to its
physical and geographical location on Earth, the average temperature and amount of rainfall, and the Earth’s
position around the sun during its revolution. This time, you will learn the different Earth’s motion in relation
to the day and night, sequence of seasons of countries on Earth, and effects of Earth’s motions. The Earth is
made of rocks, soil, water, and air. It is one of the planets that spins and travels around the Sun. The Earth is a
very tiny part of the universe, but home to many forms of life. The Earth moves at a constant motion.
Basically, the motions of the Earth can be classified into two ways: Rotation and Revolution.
