III. Learning Activities

Teacher’s Activities Learner’s Activity

A. Preparatory Activities

1. Drill

Good morning class. Good morning, Ma'am/Sir.

Before we start, please pick up all unnecessary

things under your chair and arrange it properly.

So, is anyone here would like to lead the prayer

before we begin our discussion. (One assigned student will lead the prayer.)

Thank you, Ms. Salabsab

Are there any absentees today? None Ma'am/Sir!

Okay, very good.

Thus, before we begin our discussion. First,
we're going to play a game. Is that okay? Yes Ma'am/Sir!

Count from 1-4 and go to your groups.

This game is called "Fix Me". I will show you

a card with a scrambled word on it, which you
must arrange.
The first group to raise their hands in response
will go to the first call.

Is that clear? Yes Ma’am/Sir!

2. Review

Before we start our lesson let's recall what we

had yesterday. What is our topic yesterday? It is all about the motion of the moon
Ma'am/Sir!
Very good, Mr. Perez!

What do we call it when the lighted side

shrinks as the full moon transitions to the new
moon? It is called the waning phase Ma'am/Sir.

Well said, Ms. Piad!

What if the lighted side gets smaller as the

moon transitions from new to full? It is called the waxing phase Ma'am/Sir.

Great, Ms. Orbino!

So, can we now proceed to our new lesson? Is

there any question about the last topic? None Ma'am/Sir.

3. Motivation

I have here 3 objects: flashlight, small ball, and

a big ball.

Now, I will arrange the objects in this order-

flashlight, small ball, big ball. The shadow of the small ball is formed on the
surface of the big ball.

I will flash the light on the objects. What is

formed on the surface of the Earth?
What phenomenon do you think will occur on
this setup? Solar Eclipse

Brilliant!

How about I am going to put the big ball on the

centre and flash the light, what phenomenon do
you think will occur? Lunar Eclipse

Absolutely!

This is just a simple demonstration on how

solar and lunar eclipse occurs, class.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation of the Lesson

And this afternoon, we are going to learn more

about Eclipse.

For us to be guided in our lesson here are the

objectives.

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, students must be able

to;
a. Explain the difference between solar (All the students are reading the objectives)
and lunar eclipses;
b. Create a model of lunar and solar
eclipse;
c. Relate the essence of understanding the
difference between lunar and solar
eclipse through reflective essay.

a) Setting of Standards

Before we start our lesson here are some

reminders to make this learning understandable
and fun to learn.
1. Stay focused and alert to the discussion.
2. Prepare your pen and notebook so you
can write down all the important details
from the lesson.
3. Sit back and relax because we are about
 to start learning.

Is that clear? Yes, Ma’am/Sir.

2. Discussion/Analysis

Okay, this time we will be exploring more

about eclipse, but before that let us uncover
some of the words well be encountering this
afternoon.

Alliah, kindly read this one.

Eclipse - the total or partial obscuring of one (Student is reading)

celestial body by another and its source of
illumination.

Thank you, Alliah!

Jay, read it!

Solar Eclipse - moon casting a shadow on earth (Students is reading)

and blocking our view of the sun.

Thank You, Jay!

Next, can you read it Laiza.

Lunar Eclipse - it occurs when the moon moves

through earth’s shadow at full moon.

Thank you, Laiza!

There are two different types of eclipse:

First is solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs

when the Moon passes between Earth and the
Sun, fully or partially obscuring the Sun's disk.
The second type is lunar eclipse. A lunar
eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through
Earth's shadow, fully or partially darkening the
lunar disk.

In the activity we have done earlier, what

object represent the sun?
Yes, jay? “Flashlight, Ma’am”

Very good!

What about the moon, and the earth?

Yes, Abby? “Small ball and big ball ma’am”

When I flash the light on the two balls, what

have you observe?

Alliah? “The shadow of the small is cast on the earth.”

Very good, Alliah!

To further understand the solar and lunar

eclipse, I will show you a video. (Students are watching the video)

So how do you think solar eclipse occurs?

Yes, Jerack? A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets

between Earth and the Sun, and the moon casts
a shadow over earth. A solar eclipse can only
take place at the phase of new moon, when the
moon passes directly between the sun and
Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth’s
surface.

How about the lunar eclipse?

Yes, Erica? Lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and the
Sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth.
Although the Moon is in Earth's shadow, some
sunlight reaches the Moon. The sunlight passes
through Earth's atmosphere, which filters out
most of the blue light.

Very good!

So that’s how solar and lunar eclipse occurs.

Do you have any question? “None, Ma’am!”

 3. Generalization/Abstraction

Did you understand our lesson for today class? Yes Sir!

Are you sure? In your own words, who can tell

me, what is an eclipse? Eclipse Sir is the partial or complete blocking
from view of one object by another.

Exactly! So, when does a solar eclipse happen? A solar eclipse happens when a new moon
moves between the Earth and the Sun blocking
some or all of the Sun's rays from reaching the
Earth Sir.

Well said! What are again the types of solar Total solar eclipse, Partial solar eclipse,
eclipse? Annular Solar eclipse, and Hybrid Solar
eclipse Sir.

Very good! How about a lunar eclipse? When Sir, lunar eclipse happens when Earth blocks
does it happen? some or all of the Sun's direct light from
reaching the Moon, it will only take place
during a full Moon.

Correct! What are again the types of lunar The three types of lunar eclipse are the total,
eclipse? partial, and penumbral lunar eclipses Sir.

Very good! Do you have some questions about

our lesson for today class? “None, Sir!”

a. Valuing

As what I have told you earlier it is important

that we make sense of the key to
comprehending the distinction between solar
and lunar eclipses. Since, you already
understood the concept of eclipses, now I want
you to get a 1 whole sheet of paper and write
an essay about the essence of understanding the
difference between solar and lunar eclipse.

Do you understand class? Yes, Sir?

Do you have further questions or clarification? “None Sir!”

 C. Application

And now, we will have another activity. I will

group you into two. Here’s the catch I have
here a box containing different materials, what
you are going to do is that you will create a
model of Solar and Lunar Eclipse, the group 1
will be making the Solar Eclipse and the group
2 the Lunar Eclipse, with regards to the
groupings, this will not be the same with the
grouping in the game “Fix Me”.

I will be giving you 10 minutes to finish your

work.

Do you get me class?

Okay for our rubrics, this is how you will be

scored:

Creativeness - 10 points
Appropriateness - 10 points
Timeliness - 5 points
Neatness - 5 points
Total of 30 points
