ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 1

Brief Introduction

A solution is a homogeneous mixture. Homogeneous mixture has the


same properties throughout the sample. It means that the substances mixed
thoroughly, after stirring, appeared as one substance. You can no longer
distinguish one component from the other. An example is a mixture of sugar in
water. When sugar dissolves in water, the two substances appear as one. The
sugar particles can no longer be identified. However, the taste of the water
proves that the sugar was not lost after mixing.

Objective:
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to describe the
appearance and uses of solutions such as solid and solid, solid and liquid,
and liquid and liquid.

Learning Competencies to be developed:


 Describe the appearance and uses of uniform and non-uniform mixtures
(S6MT-Ia-c-1.1)

Let’s Recall

Salt and Pepper Sugar and Sand


___________________ ___________________

Let’s Understand

There are five types of solutions. All these types are homogeneous.
1. Solid in liquid
A solid substance is dissolved in a liquid substance. Examples are sugar
in water, salt in water, juice powder in water, or coffee in water.

12
2. Liquid in liquid
A liquid substance can also be dissolved in another liquid and these two
substances can be mixed thoroughly. Examples of these are alcohol and water,
wine and soda water, concentrated fruit juice in water.
3. Gas in liquid
Certain liquids contain gaseous substances. Soft drinks appear as
liquid, but they actually contain carbon dioxide gas. This can be observed when
a bottle of soft drink is shaken or opened, bubbles appear and gas is released.
Oxygen is also present in water. Plants use them during the food –
making process.
4. Gas in gas
Air is a very good example of gas in a gas solution. It is a mixture of
several gases – oxygen (20.95%), nitrogen (78.09%), carbon dioxide (0.03%)
argon (0.93%), and several trace gases- water vapor, methane and ammonia.
5. Solid in solid
Steel, basically a solution of carbon atoms in a crystalline matrix of iron
atoms.
Alloys like bronze and many others.
Polymers containing plasticizers.

Let’s Analyze
A solution is formed when one substance is dissolved in another
substance. When a substance is dissolved, it breaks down into molecules.
These molecules mix with other molecules of another substance. Solutions
contain solute and solvents. When you look at a solution, it is not possible to
distinguish a solute from a solvent.
Solute is a substance that dissolves in another substance while a solvent
is a substance that dissolves a solute.

ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 2
Brief Introduction

When you combine two or more substances, you form a mixture.


Mixtures are different from compounds because the mixture doesn’t form a new
compound material when blended. The substances combined in a mixture can
be separated into pure elements. The two main categories of mixtures are
homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures have a unified or
same composition throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures have an uneven
composition.

Objective:
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to classify mixtures
into uniform (homogeneous) and non-uniform (heterogeneous).

Learning Competencies to be developed:


(S6MT-Ia-c-1.3)

Let’s Recall
Identify the mixture with uniform appearance by putting a check on the
blank before each number.
_____ 1. sand and water
_____ 2. baking soda and vinegar
_____ 3. salt and water
_____ 4. rock and soil
_____ 5. sugar and salt

16
Let’s Understand
Mixtures can be homogeneous. A mixture is homogeneous, or what is
commonly called as a solution, when the materials in the mixture cannot be
recognized from one another. You were able to identify the different
components that were mixed because they were not evenly distributed in the
mixture. The components retained their own characteristics. The mixture
produced in this activity is a coarse or heterogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture is not uniformly mixed. An example is muddy
water. In a mixture of mud and water, the heavier mud particles settle near the
bottom of the container, so the separation of the components is seen.

Figure A. Salt and water is Figure B. Mud and water is a


a homogenous mixture heterogeneous mixture.

Let’s Apply

Based on the ingredients of the two mixtures, how will you differentiate these
with respect to the number of phases observed?

Juice Drink Macaroni Salad

Let’s Analyze

From the previous activity, you have learned that homogeneous


mixture refers to a substance that is consistent or uniform throughout its
volume. They consist of a single phase, be it liquid, gas, or solid. (Example, air
is considered a homogeneous mixture of gases.)

While heterogeneous mixture is a mixture having a non-uniform


appearance. The composition varies from one region to another, with at least
two phases that remain separate from each other, with clearly identifiable
properties. If you examine a sample of a heterogeneous mixture, you can see
the separate components.
Example banana con yelo.

Let’s Analyze

Some Ways of Separating Components of Mixtures

The ways of separating the substance that make up mixture depend on


the physical properties of the substances. Mixture made up of large particles
like rice and tiny stone maybe handpicked.

Filtration
A technique in which an insoluble solid is separated
from a liquid. It uses a filter like mesh cloth or a filter paper to
separate solid components from a liquid

Evaporation
A technique used in separating a soluble
solid from a liquid. It is used by people who
produce salt by evaporating sea water under the
sun.

Decantation
Decantation is a technique used in separating a
less-dense substance from a denser one. In the process
of decantation, the mixture is left undisturbed. Oil and
water could be removed using the decantation
technique.

22
Use of Magnets
Mixture of metals and nonmetals could be separated
using a magnet. Metals are attracted to the magnet while
nonmetals are not. In this way, the use of magnet is good in
separating metals from nonmetal.

Let’s Evaluate

Given the following set of mixtures, separate the components from the
other by using the appropriate technique. Look at the given example below.

ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 4

Brief Introduction
It is necessary to be aware of the different processes of separating
mixtures. It helped us in our daily activities. It would allow us to enjoy the
simple joys of our everyday lives. We have to observe the proper ways of
separating mixtures.

Objective:
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to describe the uses
and importance of the different methods of separating mixtures in our daily
lives.

Learning Competencies to be developed:


(S6MT-Id-f-2.10)

Let’s Recall
Identify how each mixture can be separated by choosing the right
answers on the words in the given box.

Decantation Sieving Magnet


Evaporation Filtration

1. oil and water


2. pebbles and soil
3. screws and paper cuttings
4. iron fillings in sand
5. salt and water

25
Let’s Understand

We usually separate mixtures in the kitchen. By separating rice from the


palay using the process of sieving, we are
able to enjoy eating rice. We are also given
the chance to eat the meals we want and
discard those we do not want on our plate.

Children who play with their toys everyday don’t realize that they too are
separating mixtures. With the use of
manual separation, they are able to
separate the toys they like to play with and
to keep away those that they dislike.

Chromatography is a technique that separates the components of


mixtures that are based on the ability of each component to be drawn across
the surface of another material. Chromatography is good in separating
dissolved substances that have different colors, such as inks and plants dyes.

Distillation is a process of
separating liquids from a solution. The
separation technique is based on the
differences of the boiling point of the
substances in the mixture. Distillation is
used in producing pure water, distilled
water, or ethanol.

26
Let’s Apply
Where do you use each process in our daily like activities? Give
specific examples.
1.evaporation
2. filtration
3. decantation
4. magnetic separation
5. hand picking

Let’s Analyze

Making a mixture can be an easy task but to separate components in a


mixture is a totally different thing. First, you have to know the method you are
to use. Second, you have to consider the components involved in the mixture.

There are different ways of separating components of a mixture. Manual


separation, filtration, evaporation, decantation, freezing/cooling and magnetic
separation. If you have gravel and sand and you need only to have sand, how
will you remove it from the mixture? Why?

ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 5
Brief Introduction

Colloid is a special kind of mixture that contains very tiny particles that
cannot be seen by the naked eye. The tiny particles do not settle down. Instead,
they move rapidly and collide with or bump with each other known as Brownian
motion.

Brownian motion of the particle

In adding a powdered milk to a glass of warm water, you can form a


cloudy mixture but the milk particles do not settle down. The milk that you drink
everyday is called colloid.

Objective:
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to identify common
household colloids and their uses.

Learning Competencies to be developed:

solution

Let’s Understand
Colloid is a mixture composed of particles in a dispersing medium. A
colloid is defined by the size of the particles involved. If the particles in a mixture
are on the scale of individual molecules, around 1 nanometer, it is defined as
a solution. If the particles are larger than1,000 nanometers, it is a suspension.
Anything in between is a colloid. Some common characteristics of colloids are
the following:
a. Brownian Motion
No matter how long a colloid is left undisturbed, the particles in it never
fully rest. Instead they exhibit constant zigzagging movement at the
microscopic scale.
b. Tyndall Effect
When a beam of light shines through a colloid, the suspended particles
scatter the light, making it visible as a distinct column of illumination.

Scattering of light/Tindall Effect

Brief Introduction

The musculoskeletal system is made up of the body's bones (the


skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective
tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. Its primary
functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital
organs. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and
movement to the body.

The skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other


connective tissues are all part of the musculoskeletal system, which work
together to provide the body with support, protection, and movement.

The bones of the skeletal system protect the body's internal organs,
support the weight of the body, and serve as the main storage system for
calcium and phosphorus.

The muscles of the muscular system keep bones in place; they assist
with movement by contracting and pulling on the bones.

To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints which are


connected to other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissues such as
tendons and ligaments.

Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly on each other.

Malnutrition and arthritis are examples of disorders and diseases in the


body that can severely impair the function of the musculoskeletal system.

of the blood. This oxygen is then
transported to cells of the body via
the circulatory system. How is
breathing different from respiration?

Try this:
Breathing is just the mechanical getting of air in and out of the lungs and
Respiration includes the reaction of oxygen with the glucose provided with the
food that we eat, which do you think is needed in gas exchange which gets
oxygen from the air into the blood and remove carbon dioxide?

What is the difference between BREATHING and RESPIRATION?

52
Circulatory and Respiratory Systems

Circulatory System

 Contains heart and all the blood vessels


 Responsible for movement of blood,

How do the nervous and the integumentary systems work together?

Skin and its appendages are part of integumentary system where


specialized sensory nerve ends are present. These sensory ends receive
stimuli and send impulses through sensory neuron to Central nervous system.

59
We feel sensation of pain, pressure, temperature changes, etc because
of association of nervous system with integumentary system.

The nervous system consists of the nerves, spinal cord and the brain,
which work together as the control system of the body.

-The brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system, which
processes all incoming and outgoing messages in the body.

-All the nerves make up the peripheral nervous system.

-The sensory nerves gather information from the environment that they send
to the central nervous system.

-The motor nerves transmit impulses from the brain to the muscles and glands
of the body for proper reaction/action.

The body sends


two kinds of signals,
sensory and motor.
Sensory signals help
you use your senses
to explore the world
around you. They tell
you when you touch,
see, fee, hear, or taste
something. Neurons
carry sensory signals
from all around your
body to the brain.
Motor signals go the opposite way. They go from the brain to your muscles.
They help you move or pick up objects.

How the Nervous System Works?


The basic functioning of the nervous system depends a lot on tiny cells
called neurons. The brain has billions of them, and they have many specialized
jobs. For example, sensory neurons take information from the eyes, ears, nose,
tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the
brain and back to the rest of the body.

All neurons, however, relay information to each other through a complex


electrochemical process, making connections that affect the way we think,
learn, move, and behave.

Brief Introduction

If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all bodily
functions, then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back
and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal
cord, which runs from the brain down through the back and contains threadlike
nerves that branch out to every organ and body part.

The basic functioning of the nervous system depends a lot on tiny cells
called neurons. The brain has billions of them, and they have many specialized

Brief Introduction
Life would be impossible without friction. We used friction in most of our
activities. You would be able to walk without slipping and falling with the help
of friction. Friction affects different objects, too. Without friction, you would not
be able to write because your pencil would slip off the surface of your paper
you are writing on.
Objective:
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to define and describe
friction.
Learning Competencies to be developed:
 Infer how friction and gravity affect movements of different objects.
(S6FE-IIIa-c-1)

 The magic word is ________________________________ .

86
Let’s Understand

Friction opposes motion. It causes an object that


moves along a surface to slow down and eventually stop.
When you drop a hammer and a feather at the same time, both objects
will respond to gravity. However, the hammer will reach the ground first
because there is another force that affects the feather. When objects move
through air, the force of friction opposes their motion.
Friction is a force that opposes
motion between two surfaces sticking
or touching together. Friction works in
the surface of the feather. Air friction
affects the motion of falling objects by
acting against the force of gravity. Friction is a force that resist or opposes the
sliding movement of surfaces in contact with one another.
A moving object is
affected by friction. However, the
amount of friction may vary
depending on the type of surface
the object gets in contact with.
When an object roll over a
surface, rolling friction is
produced.

When two objects rub or slide


against each other sliding friction is
produced. Fluid friction occurs in a swimmer
swimming in water, a boat traveling in
water, or an airplane in the air. Stationary
objects or objects at rest produce static
friction.

87

ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 2

Brief Introduction

You have learned that energy is the ability to do work. Work and energy
are closely related. When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to
that object. Energy is present everywhere. It is needed by organisms like us,
and machines to work. Light from the sun is the major source of energy in our
solar system because without it, Earth would have no life. Energy can be
transferred from one form to another to become useful.

Objectives
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to identify forms of
energy (sound, light, electrical, thermal or heat, mechanical, and chemical)

Learning Competencies to be developed


 Demonstrate how sound, heat, light, and electricity can be transformed.
 (S6FE-IIId-f-2)

Let’s Recall
The sun is the m ain source of energy on earth. Find out from the group of
words inside the box what sun can do and write it on the blank provided below.
1. for food production 4. for solar energy
2. for drying of clothes 5. for evaporation
3. for plant growth 6. for cooking food

92
Let’s Understand
Energy exist in different forms. The different forms of energy include
mechanical, electrical, radiant or light, sound, chemical, thermal or heat, and
nuclear energy. Find out the different forms of energy in different objects.

This bicycle has mechanical energy.


Mechanical energy is a form of energy possessed
by a moving object or energy stored in the structure
of the object due to its position. Compressed spring
and stretched bow are examples of stored
mechanical energy. Humans also have stored
mechanical energy. You do some activities like
running, dancing and doing simple exercises
because your muscles have mechanical energy.

Chemical energy is a type of energy stored in molecules. Chemical


reactions can either use or release chemical energy. The chemical energy
stored in a dry cell is turned into a usable form when put in appliances. Fuels
like coal, gasoline, and firewood contain chemical energy. When burned
chemical energy is released.

93
Radiant or light energy is a form of energy that travels through empty
space. Radiant energy radiates in all directions Radiant energy may be in form
of light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, infrared radiation, radio waves, microwaves,
and radar.

Electrical energy are produced by moving electrons. It is the flow


of charge particles called electrons. An Atom is made up of electrons, protons
and neutrons. An electron is negatively charged, a proton has a positive
charge, and neutron has no charge. An atom holds its proton and neutron
tightly. But electrons can move more freely in their orbits.

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating objects. When


objects vibrate, sound waves are produced. Sound waves are able to carry
vibrations through a medium; this results in transfer in the energy collected in
the vibrations. The vibrations make a sound waves in the air. The air serves as
a medium that transmits sound.

94
Thermal or heat energy is a form of energy in everybody due to the
motion of molecules. The sun and the heat from volcano are examples of
thermal energy. Matter is made up of molecules that are moving. The source
of energy for this movement of these molecules is thermal energy. Heat flows
from a warmer object to a cooler object. It moves through conduction, radiation,
and convection.

Let’s Apply
Identify the form of energy being describe in each activities and
situations. Choose you answer from the words inside the box and write it in
the blank provided in each number.
Mechanical energy Chemical energy

ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 3
Brief Introduction
The world population relies on energy of all forms. Energy appears in
different forms: heat, light, sound, and electricity. It can flow from one place to
another and it can be transformed from one form to another. Every day of
your life, you experience multiple energy transformations. For everything,
energy transformation is always involved.

Objective:
At the end of this activity, learners should be able to describe how
energy is transformed from one form to another.

Learning Competencies to be developed:


 Demonstrate how sound, heat, light, and electricity can be transformed
(S6FE-IIId-f-2)

Let’s Recall

A. Identify the form of energy used in the following. Choose you answer from
the word bank below and write it on the blank before each number.

Word Bank
______________1. drying of clothes Heat energy
______________2. boiling of water Light energy
______________3. reading books at night Sound energy
______________4. listening to music Mechanical energy
______________5. running a washing Electrical energy
machine Chemical energy
Radiant energy

99
B. Label the illustration below.
Transformation of energy.

Let’s Understand

Energy transformation starts when radiant energy strikes the earth’s


surface. Some of this energy is transformed by photosynthesis into chemical
energy stored in the carbohydrate molecules in the plant. When human and
animals eat plants, the chemical energy in the plant is transferred and becomes
chemical energy in the human body. This chemical energy is then transformed
into mechanical energy when added oxygen in a process called respiration.
The energy that will power dancing, running, jumping, and other body activities
comes from the transformation of chemical energy to mechanical energy.

100
Energy transformation occurs in some objects that we used. When you
lighted a candle, the chemical energy of the candle is changed into light energy,
and at the same time, heat is produced.

Chemical energy Light and heat energy

It is also similar to your toy car. Your toy car works because of the battery
in it. As you turn on your toy car, the chemical energy causes the machine to
move. This chemical energy is changed into mechanical energy.

Chemical energy Mechanical energy

When you pluck the string of a guitar, the string vibrates, and sound is
produced. The mechanical energy possessed by the vibrating string is changed
to sound energy when you strum the guitar.

Mechanical energy Sound energy

101
When you switch on the flashlight, the chemical energy stored in batteries
is converted into light and heat. Most of the energy is converted to light. Only
small percentage of the original energy in the battery is converted into heat.

Chemical energy Light and heat energy


(Batteries)
Many appliances you used every day change electrical energy to other
forms. When you use a toaster, it changes electric energy into thermal or heat
energy. Electric motors change electrical energy into mechanical energy. When
firecrackers explode, the chemical potential energy of firecrackers is
transformed into light, heat and kinetic energy.

Let’s Apply
Below is a jumbled illustration of how electricity reached our homes.
Label each figure from 1 (as the beginning of the transformation) to 5 (as the
end of the energy transformation).

ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 1

Brief Introduction

Earthquake happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past
one another. There are two types of earthquakes. Tectonic and volcanic
earthquake. Tectonic earthquakes occur because large blocks of the Earth’s
crust move suddenly and violently along a fault. Volcanic earthquakes are
caused by the movement of molten material or by gas pressure inside a
volcano.

The location below the earth’s surface where the movement starts is
called Focus or Hypocenter. The location directly above the focus is called
the Epicenter. Earthquake has Aftershocks. These are smaller earthquakes
that happen in the same place after the main shock.

Earthquakes occur without warning so people are caught unaware and


may suffer injury or death. Buildings, roads, and bridges may be damaged by
strong shocks. Over billions of years, forces within the earth produce
earthquakes have played an important role in shaping the planet’s surface.

Learning Competencies to be developed:


At the end of the activity, the learners should be able to:
 describe changes on the earth’s surface as a result of an earthquake
(S6ESIVa-I.3)
 Predict what will happen on the earth’s surface as a result of earthquake.
(S6ESIVa-I.4)

Effects of Earthquake on People and Environment

Earthquakes destroy properties and infrastructures that may cause


death. On July 16, 1990 a magnitude 7.8 struck Luzon. The epicenter was near
the town of Rizal, Nueva Ecija. The strength of the earthquake can be recorded
using an instrument called Seismometer. It is an instrument that measures the
magnitude of an earthquake.

The primary effects of earthquakes are ground shaking, ground rupture,


landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. Fire is the secondary effect of
earthquakes. The table on the next page is the summary of the effects of
earthquake on people and environment.

Brief Introduction
Our country is susceptible to different disaster such as earthquake.
Therefore, it is a must for us to prepare and ensure our safety. There are
several things we can do before, during, and after an earthquake. These
include the following:

Before an Earthquake
It is essential for individuals, families, organizations,
and communities to know their risk, make a plan, create a
disaster kit, and remove, relocate, or secure anything that may
drop and hurt someone, tumble and block an exit, fall and
start a fire.

During an Earthquake
DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting
under a tough table or other piece of furniture; and
HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table
or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and bend in an
inside corner of the building. Do not run out of the building during the shaking
as objects may fall off and may cause serious damages or death.

After an Earthquake
Safely vacate the area. Be reminded that aftershocks
could happen. These additional shaking events can be strong
enough to do additional damage to already weakened
structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or
even months after the main earthquake.

Learning Competencies to be developed:


At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:
 enumerate what to do before, during, and after earthquake;
(S6ES-IVb-2.1)
 demonstrate what to do before, during, and after earthquake;
(S6ES-IVb-2.2)

128
Let’s Recall

Read the statements carefully then write TRUE if the statement is correct and
FALSE, if the statement is wrong.

_______1. It always good to stay calm and alert during an earthquake.


_______2. Check yourself and others for injuries after an earthquake.
_______3. Be prepared for aftershocks.
_______4. During an earthquake and in an outdoor area, do not move to
an open area.
_______5. Never participate in regular earthquake drill.

Let’s Understand:
I Am Ready
Have you heard the advertisement in the television “I am ready”?
Are you ready? If yes, what preparations are you doing? Here are some tips
you may consider:
Everyone should have personal disaster supplies kits. Keep them where
you spend most of your time, so they can be easily reached even if your building
is heavily damaged. Keep one kit in your home, another in your car, and a third
kit at work. Backpacks or other small bags are best for your disaster supplies
kits so you can take them with you if you evacuate.
Electrical, water, transportation, and other vital systems can be
disrupted for several days or much longer in some places after a large
earthquake. Emergency response agencies and hospitals could be
overwhelmed and unable to provide you with immediate assistance. Providing
first aid and having supplies will save lives, will make life more comfortable, and
will help you cope after the next earthquake.
Use and replace perishable items like water, food, medications and
batteries on a yearly basis.

129
Do a regular earthquake Drop, Cover, and Hold drills. Practice your plan
with anyone who may surround you, or be taking care of things for you, in
the event of an earthquake, such as family, friends, sitters, and neighbors.

Brief Introduction
Motions of the Earth
The Earth is in constant motion, but it is somewhat difficult to detect such
movement. When riding in a car, one is in motion. One can see trees, buildings,
posts, or other fixed objects when moving. But there is no fixed reference point
or objects by which to detect the movement of the Earth. In the ancient time,
people thought the Earth was motionless.
Basically, the motion of the Earth can be classified into two ways:
Rotation and Revolution.
Rotation is the spinning of the Earth on its axis. The Earth’s axis is an
imaginary line that runs through Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole.
The Earth completes one rotation every 24 hours.
Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun. The path
followed by the Earth around the Sun is called orbit. Earth completes one orbit
in on year or 365 days and about 6 hours. This six hour is responsible for our
leap year every four years.

Learning Competencies to be developed

At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:


 construct a model of Sun-Earth-Moon to demonstrate the rotation and
revolution of the Earth; (S6ES-IVe-f-5.1)
 describe the movement of the Earth;(S6ES-IVe-f-5.2)
 explain the occurrence of day and night in relation to rotation using a
model/globe . (S6ES-IVe-f-5.4)

133
Let’s Recall
Match the definition in column A with the correct term in column B.
Column A Column B
1. The motion of the Earth around the Sun. A. Rotation
2. The movement of the Earth around its axis. B. Revolution
3. The path followed by the Earth around the Sun. C. 24 hours
4. One complete rotation of the Earth. D. Orbit
5. The shape of the Earth E. Oblate Spheroid

Let’s Understand
Rotation of the Earth

The movement of the Earth on its axis causes day and night. As the
Earth rotates, only one-half of the Earth faces the Sun at any given time. The
figure 1 shows the half facing the Sun (represented by arrows) is daytime and
the other half facing away from the Sun is nighttime.

Tropic of Cancer
Equator
Tropic of Capricorn
Antarctic Circle

134
Revolution of the Earth
Aside from rotation, the Earth also travels around the Sun in a path
called orbit. The Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle, it is slightly elliptical. The
time it takes for the Earth to complete one trip around the Sun is called period
of revolution.

Brief Introduction

Why Seasons Change

The Earth experiences seasonal change because its axis is tilted as it


moves around the sun, Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.50 from vertical. If
the Earth’s axis was not tilted, the Sun would always appear directly overhead
at the equator. Each point on the Earth’s surface would experience equal length
of daytime and nighttime all the time. However, the reality is the daily periods
of daylight and darkness change in the length throughout the year.
In addition, as the Earth revolves around the Sun, its axis always points
to the same direction. Therefore, as the earth travels around the Sun, different
parts of the Earth’s surface tilt toward the Sun at different times of the year.
Thus, seasons change depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the earth.

A common misconception most people have is that the seasons are


caused by the distance of the Earth from the Sun. Remember that the Earth’s
axis was tilted about 23.5 degrees. It is the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its
revolution cause seasons.

Learning Competencies to be developed


At the end of the activity, the learners should be able to:

 Infer that seasons change due to Earth’s revolution (S6ES-IVe-f-5.6)


 Explain the sequence of seasons in relation to revolution (S6ES-IV-f-
5.7)

139
Let’s Recall
Explain why seasons occur.

Let’s Understand

Earth’s Seasons
Study the figure given below. It shows the spot of the Earth at
four different positions in its orbit. On June 21or 22, the Earth passes
through a point in its orbit known as the summer solstice. The Northern
hemisphere is tilted directly toward the Sun. At the same time, the Sun
appears overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 0N). It is the first day of
summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is
tilted directly away from the Sun at this time, it is the first day of winter
there.

T. of Capricorn
Sept 21
Sun over equator
(autumn begins in northern hemisphere)
Figure 1 – The Earth at different positions showing the different seasons
140
During summer, the Northern Hemisphere receives a maximum
energy from the Sun. The Sun appears high in the sky and takes a long
time to cross the sky from sunrise to sunset each day. Thus, at this
time of the year, daytime is longer and temperature is warm.

As the earth moves from the summer solstice, the Sun appears
lower in the sky each day and periods of daylight are shorter. On
December 21 or 22, the earth reaches the winter solstice. At this time,
the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Sun
appears over the Tropic of Capricorn (23.50S).

During winter, the Sun appears low in the sky and takes only a
few hours to cross the sky. The Northern Hemisphere receives the
smallest energy from the Sun. Thus, daytime is short and temperature
is cold.

In addition to the solstices, the earth has two equinoxes, meaning


equal length of daytime and nighttime. Every March 21 or 22, we
experience spring equinox also known as vernal equinox, which marks
the start of the Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. On the other hand,
every September 21 or 22, we have autumnal equinox, marking the
start of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

141
Let’s Apply
Label the diagram below based on how you understand the reasons for
the occurrence of seasons and include the following:
A. The name of each season
B. The date each season begins
C. The Earth’s axis, showing the tilt
D. Arrows to show the movement of the Earth around the Sun
