DAY 1
Activity 1
Modelling the Motion of the Earth and Day and Night
Materials:
Globe (to represent the Earth), lamp (to represent the sun), bright-colored tape (to represent the location of the school).
Procedure:
Switch off the lights, and close all the windows and doors. Place the lamp in a fixed position and then slowly turn the globe counterclockwise. This
would be demonstrated by the teacher.
Questions:
Activity 2
Sunlight and the Tilting of Earth
Materials:
Medium –sized round object (orange, plastic foam ball, and the like)
Marker
Flashlight
Pencil or stick
Procedure:
1. Draw a line around the middle of the round object. The object represents Earth and the line is the equator.
2. Carefully push the pencil or stick through the round object at a right angle to the equator. The stick represents the imaginary
axis.
3. Hold the round object so that the North Pole tilts toward any fixed object. Have your partner hold a flashlight and shine it at
the center of the ball. The flashlight represents the sun.
4. Make a chart to record your observations.
Tilt of Earth Part of Earth Exposed to Light
First Quarter
Second Quarter
Third Quarter
Fourth Quarter
5. Move the round object through a quarter of its path or a quarter of a circle to your right. Walk around your partner and make
sure that tip of the stick is still pointing toward your chosen fixed object.
6. Have your partner turn so the flashlight always shines at the center of the round object. Take note which pole is tilted toward
the light and which part of the planet is exposed to more sunlight. Record your observations.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 move around the Sun.
Guide Questions:
1. Which part of the round object used in the experiment will experience summer, winter, spring, or fall?
2. When will the Northern part of the equator experience summer? What about the southern part of the equator?
3, How does the length of daytime at the pole change as Earth orbits the Sun? When will the North Pole experience longer
daytime?
Day 2
Activity No. 1
Do This
Get a manila paper and pentel pen.
Draw a circle.
Cut 2 arrows then pin it in the center of the circle, it looks like a clock.
Point the arrows on the top then move the arrows from the left to right.
Observe the movement of the arrows.
Observations:
How does the arrows move?
How do you indicate counter clockwise direction?
Activity 2
Do This:
Get a globe and place it on the table.
Locate the North Pole.
Rotate the globe from the left to the right in counter clockwise direction.
Observe how the globe rotates.
Observations:
At what point does the globe rotate?
How does the earth rotate?
In what direction does the earth rotate?
DAY 3
Activity No. 1
How to Make a Foam Model of Earth's Rotation
Procedures:
Set the globe on the table.
Locate the Philippines on the globe. Mark it with a masking tape.
Locate London in the globe. Mark it with a masking tape too.
Get a flashlight and place it directly toward the equator at the mark where the Philippines is. The flashlight represents the Sun.
Darken the room. Switch on the flashlight. Observe what places are lighted and which are not.
Let a classmate rotate the globe and observe the places lighted and not lighted. Observe closely London and Philippines as the globe is rotated.
Guide Questions:
When the flashlight is switched, what countries are lighted? Give at least 10 countries.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Is London lighted when the Philippines is lighted? Why?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Aside from London, give nine other countries that are not lighted when the flashlight is focused in the area where the Philippines is located.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
When London is lighted, what happens to the Philippines and other countries near its location?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
What do you notice as Earth rotates?
