Teachers’ Activity Students’ Activity

A. Preliminary Activity
a. Prayer Dear heavenly
Father…….
Please all stand for the opening prayer
b. Greetings Good morning
Good morning class!! Ma’am
c. Attendance
Beadle, who are absent today?
d. Orderliness
Arrange your chairs properly None Ma’am
B. Motivation: This morning we are going to have an activity entitled “Find
Me”. I will give you a copy of scrambled letters for each group. You have to
find and write the different words that you will encounter within 5 minutes.
You will be given a 1 whole bond paper and pilot pen to write your answer.
The group with the most number of correct will be declared winner and will
receive a prize.
Yes Ma’am
Please remember that any unnecessary noise is a demerit to your
points. Am I clear? Are you ready?

How do we look like if we don’t have skin?

Have you ever imagined yourself skinless? No Ma’am!

What do you think is the role of your skin? The skin protects the internal organs.

Now try to imagine the earth without an

atmosphere. What do you think will happen to
the planet earth? No one will survive because of the intense heat.

Very good! Today we are going to explore our

atmosphere; we’ll get to know the 5 layers of
the atmosphere and its characteristics. Are
you ready to explore and travel? So fasten
your seatbelt, open your mind, eyes and ears
to capture and focus; to learn and enjoy the
trip.

Anyways, what should a good student do

during the activity and discussion? A good student listens, takes note, participates and
behave well in the class ma’am.
Well said! Can I expect that from you?
Yes Ma’am!
Activity 1: Group activity- entitled “Game show”

Direction: Each group will be given a hand-out about our topic. Each hand- out has corresponding
question. I will give you 3 minutes to read your hand-out and you will present your answer through
‘‘game show’’.

Guide questions:

1. What are the five layers of the atmosphere?

2. What are the 2 most abundant gases in the atmosphere?
3. How many percent of nitrogen present in the atmosphere? Why do you think gases are
important to us?
4. How far are the layers of the layer of the atmosphere from the surface?
5. Why do you think atmosphere is important to us?

D. Discussion

The atmosphere is an important part of what

makes Earth liveable. It contains gases that
are essential to life.
Nitrogen and oxygen are the main components of our
What are the main components of atmosphere. Together they comprise 99% of our
atmosphere? atmosphere. Nitrogen is used for bulbs, explosives,
tyres, helps in processing fertilizers, acts as neutralizer,
and helps in body buildings proteins.

We have 5 main layers namely from top to bottom:

Our layer is divided into how many layers, Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere
and what are those layers? and Troposphere.

Troposphere is where the weather forms; commercial

airplanes also fly on this layer. The air is very unstable
on this layer that’s why we sometimes experience a
bumpy ride which we call turbulence. The highest peak
in the world which is the Mt. Everest also seats in this
layer.
I’ll give you mnemonics about the layers of
the atmosphere to better remember it. Stratosphere is where a spy jet flies because the air is
Troubled = Troposphere very stable. Ozone layer is also found here.
Super = Stratosphere
Mesosphere is where meteors and other rock
Man = Mesosphere
fragments burn up.
Tricked = Thermosphere
Ellen = Exosphere
 or

Tropang= troposphere Thermosphere is where auroras are found. Sun's

Sinaktan= stratosphere energy is so strong at this level, that it breaks apart
Minsan= mesosphere molecules. So there ends up being electrons floating
Tanga= thermosphere around and molecules which have lost or gained
Kay electrons that is why we have radio signals because of
Ex=exosphere this layer.

Exosphere is the outermost layer and extends through

space. It is where the satellites are stationed.

E. Application
Directions: Identify the five layers of the atmosphere with the given pictures below.

F. Evaluation
Directions: Multiple choices, Before a question is read, each group must raise the chalk. I
will say “GO” and only then the team be allowed to write the answer. When you hear the
word “STOP” the team should STOP writing and raise their answer pad.

1. What layer of the atmosphere where humans live and weather activity also occurs in this layer?3
pts.

a. Stratosphere b. Thermosphere c. Troposphere

2. The layer of the atmosphere where meteors and rock fragments melt? 3 pts.
