(Module 1)

Lesson 1. CHARACTERISTICS OF EARTH THAT SUPPORT LIFE

Learning Activity 1. Fill Me In.
Directions. Supply the missing word in the paragraph below that best completes
each statement. (20 points)

Some characteristics of ____ that allow it to sustain life is the oxygen ___
atmosphere and ____ that is located on the surface of the earth. Both oxygen and
water are the____ to life as we know it. Oxygen is used by _____ during aerobic
______. Oxygen is _____ for animals to adhere to their basic needs. Surface
____ is also a basic need for all living things. Water keeps all living things ______
as well as help control the _____ which affect each organism’s survival.
Earth is surrounded by a _____ atmosphere that contains nitrogen, oxygen, and
other _____ gases. This atmosphere provides the ____ that we breathe. It also
helps to _____ the temperature so that we do not experience extreme _____.
Earth’s atmosphere also contains a layer of ____a molecule consisting of three
oxygen ______ which provides protection from harmful solar _____. Finally,
three-quarters of Earth's surface is covered by _____ a necessary ingredient for
life. Earth is the only ____ in the solar system that contains liquid water.

Learning Activity 2. It’s Me or Not

Directions: Put a check ( ⁄ ) mark for statement that describes the uniqueness of
Earth. Write your answers in sheet of paper.
__________1. Presence of oxygen in the atmosphere has no effect on the Earth’s
life forms.
________2. There is a continuous flow of energy within the Earth’s system.
__________3. Earth’s water is in the form of ice and is readily available for
organisms.
_________4. The energy of the sun drives all life processes on Earth.
_________5. Earth is positioned in the Goldilocks zone.

Learning Activity 3. Crash Landing

Directions: A meteoroid has hit your spaceship! This happened while you are
passing through a stellar system with one (1) star and seven (7) planets, some of
which has moons. You are running out of fuel so you need to crash land on one of
the planets. Listed below are the planets and their characteristics. Which of these
planets should be your choice for crash landing? Support your answer. Write your
answer in a sheet of paper.
Planet 1 (closest to the star)
Mass: 1.5 (almost the same size as earth)
Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected
Atmosphere: None
Average temperature: 651˚C
Description: Due to extreme surface temperatures, instead of an atmosphere, the
planet has a thin exosphere composed of atoms blasted off from the nearby star.

Planet 2
Mass-0.5 (half the size of Earth)
Tectonics: No activity detected
Atmosphere: Thin CO2 atmosphere detected
Average Temperature: 10˚C
Description: Presence of ice caps in the polar region, riverbeds with no water, and a
number of craters are observed from its orbit

Planet 3
Mass: 1 (same size as earth)
Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected
Atmosphere: CO2, H2O(g), O2
Temperature: 50˚C
Description: Liquid water, oceans cover much of the surface, volcanic island chains

Planet 4:
Mass - 1.5 (almost the same size as earth)
Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected
Atmosphere: trace amounts of nitrogen, methane and carbon dioxide
Average Temperature: 2˚C
Description: oceans which are cooled solid ice all throughout area

Planet 5
Gas giant with one large moon
Moon: sulfur dioxide (SO2) atmosphere
Many volcanoes and hot springs on surface
Temperatures in hot spots can be up to 600˚C. Other spots away from volcanic heat
can get as low in temperatures 145˚C

Planet 6
Gas giant with four large, rocky satellites (moons)
Moons have no appreciable atmosphere
Ice detectable on one

Planet 7 (furthest from star)

Gas giant with two large moons
Moon 1: An atmosphere which is full of methane gas with very high pressure to
maintain a methane ocean
Temperature: 2˚C
Moon 2: Covered in water ice, ice appears, cracked and refrozen in parts, indicating
a potential liquid ocean underneath surface
Temperature: 1`˚C
