B. Recall
Before we proceed to another
interesting topic. Let’s take a short recap
on what we have discussed a while ago.
The class will group into two, each group
will form a line, and the first player of both
groups will go in front to see the pictures
of 8 different phases of the moon then the
student will identify what kind of phases of
the moon it is. They will pass the answer
to their team mate. Make sure that the
final answer will arrived to the last player
that will hurriedly go in front to give their
group answer. The one who first got the *Yes Ma’am we are ready.
correct answer will get the point. Is it
clear? Are you ready?

C. Motivation
In Mathematics we add numbers,
right? Now, let’s see your skills in addition
but today instead of adding numbers, we
will add words. What words can you make
if we add,

*cupcake

*Rainbow

*Egglips

In relation to our topic for today, our

lesson sounds like Egglips. Do you have *Yes Ma’am, Eclipse
any idea of what word that sounds like
egglipse?

Very Good!

D. Presentation:
Our lesson for today is Eclipse. At the
end of our discussion you are expected
to be able to:
a. Define the meaning of the eclipse;
b. Distinguish the difference between
Solar and Lunar eclipse;
c. Explain how solar and lunar eclipse

 occur; and
d. Show mastery of the lesson by
answering random questions
comprehensively.

E. Discussion:

the Moon.

*Yes Ma’am.
Very good, very well said.

Is there more than 1 kind of

eclipse?

Correct! There are two. The lunar and

solar eclipse. Let’s distinguish the two.
Solar eclipse or “SOL” in Latin means Sun.
That’s why it is called Sun Eclipse while
Lunar eclipse or “LUNA” in Latin means
Moon. That’s why it is called Moon Eclipse.

Let’s discuss the Lunar Eclipse first.

The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth
casts a shadow on the moon, causing the
moon to go dark. Earth comes between
the Sun and the Moon and casts a shadow
on the Moon (Full Moon).

The Earth moves between the Sun and

the Moon, blocking the Sun’s light, and
causing the moon to glow red.
Types of Lunar Eclipses
• Total Lunar Eclipse – when the
Moon passes completely into the
Umbra, or total shadow of the
Earth.
• Partial Lunar Eclipse – Occur when
the Moon does not fully move into

4
 the Umbra.
• Penumbral Lunar Eclipse – When
the moon passes only through the
penumbra, or partial shadow. They
are barely visible.
Umbra – The dark inner portion of the
shadow cone.
Penumbral – the lighter outer portion of
the shadow.
*there are 13 chances of eclipse
Let’s now discuss solar eclipse. Solar
eclipse occurs when the Moon casts a
shadow on the Earth, causing the sun to
go dark. The Moon comes between the
Sun and Earth and casts a shadow on part
of Earth (New Moon).
How often do Eclipses Happen?

Correct there are 13 chances of eclipses

*Because the moon’s orbit is tilted 5
each year because the moon orbits the
degrees
earth every 27 days. The earth orbits the
sun every 365 ¼ days.
There are 13 chances for an eclipse
each year. But we don’t actually have 13
eclipses each year.

So why don’t we have 13 eclipses

each year?

Good! The moon’s orbit is tilted 5

degrees. So there are only two positions
where in the Moon is place between the
Sun and the Earth.

Types of Solar Eclipses

• Total Solar Eclipse – can only occur
if you are at the exact spot within
the moon’s umbra (which isn’t very
big).
• Partial Solar Eclipse – Visible is you
are in the penumbra of the shadow.
Only some of the moon will be
shadowed.
• Annular Eclipse – occurs when the

5
 moon is farthest from the Earth in
its orbit. This makes the moon look
smaller, so during the eclipse you
see an outer ring of light from the
Sun.
Eclipse Seasons
• Syzygy- The times where the Moon,
the Earth, and the Sun line up
perfectly for an eclipse.

F. Generalization:
Group Activity!
For your group activity, You will be
divided into two groups. The Team Lunar
and Team Solar. From the letters in the
word ECLIPSES there are corresponding
questions. The students must answer the *Yes Ma’am
question correctly in order to have a
power to pick one letter so that they can
* Eclipse
form a word “LUNAR” for Lunar’s Team
and “SOLAR” for Solar’s Team. Their
*2
answer should be written in front. The one
who will be able to write the correct *Sun
answer will win the first round. The first
group who make it to form their *Luna
corresponding team’s name will win the
group activity. *Umbra
