Unlocking scientific words
 system
 biotic and abiotic
 cycle
 altitude
Read the statement below and answer the question that follows.
Imagine walking along a rocky coast as a storm blows in from the sea. The wind whips the
ocean into whitecaps, and waves crash onto the shore. Before you have time to escape,
blowing spray has soaked your clothes. A hard rain begins as you scrambled over the rocks
to your car. During the adventure, you have observed the spheres of the Earth. List down
the terms that are used in the statement that reflects to what made up the Earth.
Categorize them based on the following:

Air water land With life

B. Establishing a purpose for ENGAGE

the lesson
 Out of these pictures create a general concept and identify the physical
characteristics of the subsystem of the Earth. Differentiate one with the other.
(Picture of layers of the earth, ocean/sea, planet Eart, % of atmosphere)

C. Presenting
examples/instances of the
new lesson (a) (b) (c) (d)
Possible Answer’s: (physical characteristics)

1. Atmosphere – the gaseous layer above the Earth’s surface primarily composed of
different gases such as nitrogen and oxygen.
2. Biosphere – the zone of the Earth where all forms of life exist. This serves as the
ecosystem of all living and non- living organisms.
3. Geosphere – the solid part of the Earth that consists of the entire planet from the
center of the core to the outer crust. It includes core, mantle, and crust of the Earth.
4. Hydrosphere – the water part of the Earth that includes oceans and glaciers

D. Discussing new concepts EXPLORE

and practicing new skills #1
E. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills #2

According to John Muir, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it
attached to the rest of the world.”

A. Geosphere/ lithosphere – the solid Earth, consisting of the entire planet from the
center of the core to the outer crust. It includes the core, mantle, and crust of the
Earth.
B. Biosphere – the zone of Earth where all forms of life exist in the sea, on land, and in
water. It is sometimes called as the large ecosystem. This is the zone that life
inhabits. Biosphere is a very thin layer of the earth’s surface.
 This is the biotic portion of the ecosystem.
 Its important function is for the conservation, protecting biodiversity
including genetic variations of species, food chain & photo synthesis in which CO2 is
sequestered from the atmosphere, while oxygen is released as a byproduct. CO2
is important in the carbon cycle process.
C. Hydrosphere- This is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere
includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air.
70%- liquid ocean water
3% - fresh water (streams, lakes, and groundwater in wells and aquifers.)
The frozen part of Earth’s has its own name the cryosphere
glaciers, ice caps and icebergs.
D. Atmosphere – it is the gaseous layer above the Earth’s surface, primarily
composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. The inert gases like (Ar, CO2,
carbon monoxide, ozone.)

Troposphere
 Most of the mass of the atmosphere are in this layer 75-80%, clouds are found in
this layer and almost all weather occurs within this layer.
Stratosphere
 This is about 50 km/ 31 miles above the ground. The famous ozone layer found
within this layer. This absorbs high energy-ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun,
converting the UV energy into heat. Commercial passenger jets fly in the lower
stratosphere, partly because this less-turbulent layer provides a smoother ride.
Mesosphere
 This where meteors burn up or breaks up before it hits to earth surface. In the
mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases. The temperatures in
this layer range from -130 degrees Fahrenheit. the top layer of mesosphere is
called the mesopause.
Thermosphere
 This extends between 500 and 1,000km. /311 to 621 miles above the ground. High
energy UV radiation from the sun is absorbed in this layer.
 Atmosphere particles in this layer become electrically charge enabling radio waves
to be refracted and thus be received beyond the horizon.
Exosphere
 This extends between 100,000- 190,000 km./62,000-120,000 miles above earth
surface. According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research some
scientists don’t even consider this as a part of Earth’s atmosphere, but instead this
is already part of the outer space.
F. Developing mastery (leads EXPLAIN
to Formative Assessment HOW DO EARTH’S SPHERES INTERACT?
3) Directions:
1. Select an EVENT from the list provided below.
2. Decide how it may cause a change to each of the spheres (hydrosphere, lithosphere,
atmosphere, biosphere) and how those spheres may impact the event.
3. After that you will make a connection model like this. EXPLAIN your work.

Reminder: The double-headed arrows (< >) indicate that the cause-and-effect relationships
of these interactions go in both directions.
4. Next you will evaluate and discuss the information that you have acquired and write
down how your events will connect the spheres to each other.
5. Complete the evaluations with a diagram and EXPLANATIONS for the connections. And
the effect on earth system.

POSSIBLE EVENTS FOR ANALYSIS:

BP oil spill acid rain
Photosynthesis/ respiration amazon deforestation
Drought saltwater intrusion
Ozone depleting wildfires
 El nino/ La niña CFC (Chlorofluorocarbons)

G. Finding practical ELABORATE

applications of concepts The human population has increased rapidly since the 1700’s. In mid- 2009, 6.7 billion
and skills in daily living people inhabited our planet. Because of these, extensive pollution is everywhere. As a
student, what can you do to save not only a particular system, but the Earth itself?

Summing it up

H. Generalizing and Earth is sometimes called the “water planet” or the “blue planet” because seas cover more
abstractions about the than two-thirds of its surface. Earth is the only planet or moon in the solar system with rain
lesson that falls from clouds, runs over the land, and collects in extensive oceans. It is also the
only body we know that supports life. These four systems interacts and work together with
each other to influence climate, trigger geological processes, and affect life all over the
Earth.
