daylight?

They need to wake up during daylight to go to

school and to play in the playground.
4. What do you call to the earth’s
representation?
The earth‘s representation called globe.

5. What is an axis?
Axis is an imaginary line that runs through the
pole of the earth.
6. What do you call to the movement of
the earth on its axis?
The movement of the earth on its axis is called
rotation.

7. How long does it take for the earth to

make one complete rotation?

The earth makes one complete rotation within

8. What is the direction of the earth’s 24 hours or 1day.
rotation?

The direction of earth’s rotation is

9. What causes day and night? counterclockwise or from west to east.

The rotation of the earth on its axis causes day

and night.
 F. Integration
We have here a globe and a flashlight. We need
three volunteers to illustrate to us the following:
1. Show the correct direction on how the
earth rotates on its axis.
2. Explain what causes day and night.
3. What makes day?
4. What makes night?
The direction of the earth rotates in a
counterclockwise direction or from west to east.
We have day and night because of its rotation.
When the sunlight/flashlight strike the
earth/globe, it’s daytime.
The opposite part of the earth/globe does not
strike by the sunlight/flashlight experiencing
nighttime.
We need another three volunteers to illustrate to
us the following:
1. Show us that the Philippines is now
experiencing daytime.
2. When the Philippines experiencing
night time?
(The three volunteers showing that the earth is
in the daytime and in the nighttime.)
Refer to the globe the Philippines is in the
nighttime.
What will we do during nighttime?
To sleep and rest sir.

What is the right amount of sleeping hours

do children need in order to be healthy?
The right amount of sleeping hours that
children need in order to be healthy is 8 to 10
It is good to stay awake late at night? hours.

Why? It’s not good sir.

Because stay awake late at night will damage

our health, acquiring diseases.
Why is sleeping in the right number of
hours important?

For us to be healthy and recharge our body, so

that we have full energy on the next day.
You can just imagine when the earth does
 We are not having day and night sir.
Only the other side of the earth experiencing
sunlight and the other side is forever darkness.
What if the Philippines experiencing only
sunlight and does not having darkness?
Maybe we do not fall asleep sir. Our
temperature become hotter and hotter.
What if the Philippines experiencing only
darkness and does not having sunlight?
Maybe we fall asleep most of our entire life, or
there is no inhabitant on it. It’s too cold.

So, we are thankful because God allowed the

earth to rotate. For us to experience daytime
and nighttime.

G. Generalization
