III. Instructional Procedure:

1. Greetings:
-  Good Afternoon/ Morning students: How’s been your day?
- Did you eat your breakfast students?

2. Energizer:
- Okay, children. Let’s stand up and watch first the video that I am going to
present and after that we are going to follow the video. (sun, and moon
video).

- Play: https://youtu.be/EAPmy1SxDdQ

- Did you enjoy our morning activity? You may now take your sit.

A. Engagement
- Teacher: Okay class! What have we discussed last time?
- Student: We discussed about the members of the solar system.
- Teacher: What is solar system?
- Student: It is the sun, planets and all other heavenly bodies orbiting our
sun.
- Teacher: Will you enumerate the members of our solar system?
- Student: The members of our solar system are the sun, eight planets, dwarf
planets, asteriod, meteor, comets.
 - Teacher: Yes very good student!! Now let’s proceed to our new lesson for
today.
*What is the center of the Solar System?
B. Exploration
- The teacher will present a two pictures.

- What can you see in these picture?

- Yes! ______

- Will you describe the sun based from the picture you saw?

- How about the Earth?

- Yes! ______

- Very good!!! Now let’s proceed to the 5 layers of the sun.

C. Explanation
- The teacher will present a picture of the 5 layers of the sun.
 - Class this morning, we are going to learn about sun.

- What comes into your mind when you heard the word sun?

- Yes! _____

- Okay yes very good! That is a heavenly body that gives light.

- Very good! Who else?

- What are the layers of the sun?

- Do you have any idea students?

- Yes very good!!!!!

D. Elaboration

- When we say sun is a normal G2 star, one of more than 100 billion stars in
our galaxy. The sun is just middle-sized yellow star. However, the sun is
the largest star in our solar system. The sun plays important roles or does
important things for us here on earth . The sun is huge ball of very hot
gases. It is composed of four layers, this are; SUNSPOTS,
PROMINENCES, PHOTOSPHERE, CHROMOSPHERE and CORONA.
So let’s proceed to corona.
- When we say corona is the outermost layer of the sun’s atmosphere. Just
like the chromosphere, the corona is visible during a solar eclipse. The
scientist say that it’s shape is affected by the sunspots and their strong
magnetic fields. Also corona’s are formed by the vapors emitted by the
bubbling gases in the photosphere. Such high temperature is brought about
by the high kinetic energy of molecules composing this layers. So let’s
proceed to photosphere.
- So photosphere is from it’s name, photosphere is the light sphere of the sun.
The light that we see from the sun comes from this part. This is the main
body of the sun, and it’s diameter is measured from this region. The
photosphere is about 150 miles thick and has a temperature of about 6,000
C.

- And next is Sunspots. The sunspots is the black patches scattered in various
regions of the photosphere. These black patches are called SUNSPOTS.
Sunspots are cooler areas in the photosphere. They have very strong
magnetic fields that could affect radio communications on earth. Sunspots
follow an eleven-year cycle called SUNSPOTS CYCLE. The sunspots cycle
increase and decrease through an average cycle of 11 years. Dating back to
1749, we have experienced 23 full solar cycles where the number of
sunspots have gone from a minimum, to a maximum and back to the next
minimum, through approximate 11 year cycles. So let’s proceed to
chromosphere.

- Chromosphere the region above the photosphere is the chromosphere, it is

2,000 – 3,000 kilometer thick. It glows faintly relative t the photosphere
and can be easily seen in a total eclipse. When seen, it is reddish in color.
 - And the last is Prominences are dense clouds of material suspended above
the surface of the sun by loops of magnetic field. Prominences can remain
in a quite or quiescent state for days or weeks. Solar flares are tremendous
explosions on the surface of the sun. In as matter of just a few minutes, they
heat material to many millions of degrees and release as much energy as a
billion megatons of TNT.

E. Evaluation
Directions: Answer the following questions by clicking on the answer of your choice.
1. I am the only part that you see. Solar flares also occur in me.
a. Convective Zone b. Chromosphere c. Photosphere

2. The extremely hot outermost layer, I am extending outward several million miles fromthe
chromospheres. I am only visible during total solar eclipses.
a. Corona b. Prominence c. Spicules

3. I am a huge ball of hot gases.

a. Sun b. Moon c. Earth
4. I am a very dense layer and I provide an efficient means of transferring energy from thecore to
the surface.
a. Radiative Zone b. Convective Zone c. Photosphere

5. I am the innermost and the hottest layer of the Sun where nuclear fusion takes place. I am also
the source of all the Sun’s energy.
a. Core b. Prominence c. Radiative Zon

IV. Assessment
