Procedure

Preliminary Activities

1. Prayer

The teacher will ask the students to lead a prayer. The class president will be the one to
lead the prayer.

2. Greetings

The teacher will greet the students, “Good morning, Class. You may now off your
camera
 3. Checking of Attendance

The teacher will check the attendance and say, “Okay Class, I kindly check if your
attendance if you are already in. if you hear your name say present

4. Review of Previous Lesson

The class will have a quick recap of the previous lesson. The teacher will ask, “What was
our topic last meeting?”

B. Motivation

The teacher will ask the student about the atmosphere

1. What comes to your mind if you hear the word atmosphere?

2. Do you think atmosphere is important to us?

3. Try to determine where the atmosphere is located

C. Presentation and Discussion

I will discuss the lesson

Give students time to discuss, then listen to what they came up with.

A. Tell students, “They all have layers! Today we are going to talk about the atmosphere and what is
happening in each of its layers.”

B. Ask students “What is the atmosphere?” (gases that surround the Earth held in place by gravity)

C. Paste the definition of atmosphere in the screen

Explore

1. Have students get out a piece of paper.

 2. Tell students “We are going to watch a brief video. While you watch, write down each
layer of the atmosphere and at least one fact about each layer and also the human activities that has
impact to the atmosphere

3. Play the video.

4. Have students get into pairs

5. Using their notes to help them the student will share their thoughts and ideas on how to reduce bad
human behavior and the one is explain the layer and it’s important to us

Be sure to correct students if they do not layer their atmosphere correctly, but reassure them there will be
much more practicing throughout the lesson to get it right.
Explain

1. Read and discuss out the Earth’s Atmosphere handout

2. Tell students “As we have already learned, the atmosphere is made up of 5 layers.”

Ask students “what are the five layers, starting from the Earth’s surface?” (troposphere, stratosphere,
mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere)

3. Layers of the atmosphere:

A. Troposphere - closest layer to the Earth’s surface, 0-12 km in height. This is where our weather and
climate takes place, because almost all of the atmosphere's water is found in this layer.

B. Stratosphere - second layer, 12-70 km in height. The ozone layer is found here that filters the Sun’s
UV rays to allow life to survive on Earth. Jets fly in this layer to help to avoid turbulence of weather.

C. Mesosphere (middle) - third layer, 50-80 km in height. Coldest layer in the atmosphere with extreme
temperatures as low as -90℃.

D. Thermosphere - fourth layer, 80-400 km in height. Space shuttles travel around the earth and the
northern lights are seen.

E. Exosphere - final layer, 400-2000 km in height. It is the barrier between Earth’s atmosphere and the
emptiness of space.

Developing Mastery

Comprehension Check:

The teacher will ask, “Did you understand layer and its definition class? That’s great to hear! So, if you
really understood the story, let me ask you some questions”.

1. What is stratosphere?

2. what about troposphere?

3. What is the last layer or the final layer of the atmosphere?

Evaluation
The teacher will say, “Very good, Class! It seems like you really understood our lesson today. With that,
let us proceed to our next activity”. The teacher will then distribute activity sheets

NAME:

GRADE& SECTION:

Label the following diagram with the layers of the atmosphere and their definitions.
 VI. ASSIGNMENT

The teacher will instruct the students to copy their assignment

What will you do as a student to minimize the negative human action that have an impact to the
atmosphere?

DISMISSAL

Before we leave this meeting let us pray “the name of the father, the son, the holy spirit amen. Our lady of
the sacred heart pray for us, amen. Sign of the cross

Goodbye class, have a great day and you may now leave the meeting
