MIDTERM LEARNING RESOURCES

Week 1: Universe and the Solar System

Good day! Before we go through our first topic, you shall first be oriented with the subject.  This subject is Earth Science, a core subject for both
STEM HEALTH and STEM NON-HEALTH, and is designed to provide a general background for the understanding of the Earth on a planetary scale.  It
presents the history of the Earth through geologic time.  It discusses the Earth’s structure and composition, the processes that occur beneath and on the
Earth’s surface, as well as issues, concerns, and problems pertaining to Earth’s resources.

As you may observe in the next coming weeks, some of the topics included in the course outline will not be discussed. Topics that are deemed most
essential will be discussed only. This is in compliance with the revised syllabus of the Department of Education that should be used during this pandemic.
Rest assured that there will be some enrichment of the topics for you to further understand and appreciate the lesson.

In this lesson, we are going to understand the different characteristic and attributes of the planets and the reason behind earth’s ability to harbour life.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES
 
To start, here are the learning competencies that you need to remember for this week.

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

describe the characteristics of Earth that are necessary to support life;

compare and contrast the characteristics of the Earth to the other planets of the solar system; and
enumerate the factors that makes the earth a habitable planet;

In this lesson, we are going to understand how the universe came into existence, the formation of the solar system and its entities, the different
characteristic and attributes of the planets, and the reason behind earth’s ability to harbor life.
 
LEARNING COMPETENCIES
 
To start, here are the learning competencies that you need to remember for this week.

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

explain that the Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose boundaries matter and energy flow;
explain the theories on the origin of the universe and the solar system;
describe the interrelationship of the earth’s subsystems; and
create an ideal organism that will live on the condition of the chosen planet
