Harmony
Honesty
Fortitude

I. Objective
To recognize the uniqueness of Earth, being the only planet in the solar system with
properties necessary to support life. (S11/12ES-‐Ia-‐e-‐3)

II. Subject Matter

A. Topic: Origin and Structure of the Earth
B. Learning References: Earth and Life Science Textbook,
k+12 Compliant pp. 9-‐14, Curriculum Guide p. 1
C. Learning Materials: Laptop, Television, Chalk/ Chalkboard

III. Procedures
A. Activity
(Poster Making)
1. Students will be grouped into 5 members.
2. Each group will choose a leader, secretary, reporter, and toastmaster. They will
also make a group jingle.
3. Poster Making: Let the students draw on the Manila paper any concept depicting
the Earth as the only Habitable Planet.
4. Students will only be given 5 minutes to prepare.
5. They must present the output in 3 minutes.

B. Analysis
-‐ What did you feel while doing the activity?
-‐ How did you illustrate the Earth’s uniqueness in your poster?
-‐ What makes the Earth unique from the other planets in our Solar System?
-‐ Will Earth be able to sustain life if it remained in its position and the sun was a massive
star? Low-‐mass star? Explain your answers.

C. Abstraction
The Solar System is composed of the sun and the eight planets revolving around it. Among
those eight planets, only one can support life, which is the Earth. But how come Earth can
support life while the other planets cannot?
 There are two requirements for a planet to become habitable. First, the star should
survive long enough for its planet to develop life. Second, the planet should exist in a
region where water could remain liquid. A planet with the right temperature enables water
to remain in its liquid form, a necessary ingredient of life. Scientist also believe that Carbon
and its unique properties are the basis of all life. Carbon has four valence atoms, which
enables it to easily bond with other carbon atoms and create long complex molecules and
polymers.

D. Application

Let the students watch a short video on Climate Change and ask them on how to save the
Earth, for it to sustain life.
“Since the Earth is our home, what do you think would be your contribution to help protect
and take care of it?”

IV. Evaluation

Answer the following briefly. (1 whole sheet of paper)

1. What are the two major requirements for a planet to become habitable?
2. What are the different unique characteristics of the Earth?
3. How did Miller-‐Urey conduct the experiment that replicated the conditions of early
Earth?

V. Assignment

A. Make a “Fast facts” card that will show basic information of the members of the Solar
System.
B. Watch and study the video about the story of Earth.
