1.4. Presentation

 Moon – the brightest and largest object in

our night sky, the moon makes Earth more
livable plant by moderating our home
planet’s wobble on its axis, leading to a
relatively stable climate. It also causes
tides, creating a rhythm that has guided
humans for thousands of years.

Facts: Moon is the earths only natural

satellite and was formed 4.6 billion years
ago

Facts: age was only estimated because

there is no evidence on how they were able
to compute the year.

Facts: 24 humans and more that 100 robots

visited the moon.
- And the first human who landed on moon is Neil
Armstrong in July 1969, with a spaceflight named - gray!
Apollo 11.

- We somehow imagined that we are seeing

different features of our moon, but no. The dark
and light areas of the moon do not change over the
course of time because only one side of the moon
faces the earth.

Facts: The color of the moon is gray

- Again, what is the color of our moon?

- Another moon facts:

 Moon travels around the planet

once every 27.2 days – it is tidally
locked in earth, which means that
it spins on its axis exactly once
each time. And because of this,
people on earth only see one side
of moon.
 The gravitational pull of the moon
causes the rises and fall of the
tides on earth – it causes the
oceans to bulge out on both sides
closest to the moon and side
farthest from the moon. These
bulges low tides. The moon tidal
force has much greater effect on - their weight is much smaller.
the surface of the ocean of course.
Water is liquid and can respond in
gravity more dramatically.

 There is less gravity in the moon

than on earth – it has much weaker
gravity due to its smaller mass, so
you would weigh about 1/6th of your
weight on earth. This was the
reason why the astronauts who had
already stepped on moons surface
was shown leaping and bouncing.

- Again, why the astronauts bouncing and leaping

on moon surface?

- This is the calculation of your possible moon

weight: divide your earth weight by 9.81 then
multiply by 1.622. The answer would be your
weight incase you get to the moon.

 The moon has very thin

atmosphere – there is not much
blanket of air that surrounds the
moon. Therefore, its surface is
not protected from cosmic rays,
meteorites, and solar winds. It
also has huge temperature
 variations and can be very hot
during daytime and very cold - changes of appearance of moon
during nighttime.

 The moon is drifting away from

the earth – scientist discovered
the moon is moving
approximately 3.8cm away from
earth every year. And they also
estimated that moon continues
to do so for around 50 billion
years. That is because of the
gravitational effects that each
has on the other.

- Next, could anyone guess what are the phases of

the moon?

 Phases of the moon - caused by

alignment of the sun and the moon in
the sky. the apparent shape of the
Moon's directly sunlit portion as
viewed from the Earth.

- Let’s read some terms first.

-p

- Now do you understand grade 4?

- Just like tree and lion. A lot of living things are entirely
different from each other but because both are living
things, they also share common and similar
characteristics.

 And that is because all living things are made

up of microscopic units that we all known as
“cell.” - Yes maam!
 Cells are building blocks of all living things.
All living things are made of cell.
 Cell – is called functional unit of life, because
 it can carry out life processes, such as nutrition
etc.

- What do we call again the functional unit of life?

- Very good! Don’t forget that grade 4.

- A cell is contained of three parts.

 Membrane – a thing layer that controls and
irregulates the movement of substance in and
out of the cell. It also provides protection from
its surroundings.
Example: the water jog that we had at home,
there’s a filter in it. So, before you drink the
water it already filters out the water. And that
filter would the membrane, it filters out all the
bacteria to protect us.

 Nucleus – this serves both as repository and

genetic information as cells control center of
our life activities. It is the one responsible for
the hereditary characteristics of all living thigs.
example: Adam’s father has red eye and his
mother have brown eyes. Adam got brown eyes
which is from his mother traits.
- The genes are passed down from one generation to
generation that is why when we are seeing families, we
can already saw their similarities.

- Understood grade 4? - Process of plants to use sunlight,

water, and carbon dioxide to create
oxygen and energy.
 Cytoplasm – as you can see, between the cell
membrane and nucleus, there’s a substance
called “cytoplasm”. It looks like a jelly because
it’s a jelly fluid inside the cell. It is the one who
transport, maintain the cell shape, protect the
cell, and host of metabolism process.

- Look at this picture. We have the animal and plant cell.

o Animal cell – the cell membrane is in the outer
layer. It gives structures and absorb nutrients to
convert as energy and helps animals to move. It
also has the membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and
mitochondria.

 Mitochondria – produce energy

through the process of oxidative
 phosphorylation.
 Ribosomes- helps the producing of new
proteins by translational process. That
process forms amino acid.

o Plant cell- basic unit in kingdom of plantae.

 Cell wall – the outer layer that
surrounds the cell membrane. It
supports the plant growth and act as
first line of defense when plant
encounters pathogens.
 Chloroplast - contains green pigment
called chlorophyll, which is essential
for capturing the energy of sunlight.
We all know as photosynthesis.
- Are you familiar with photosynthesis grade 4?

- Very good! That is how plants make their own food to

live and grow. - Yes
- Most plants and animals are composed of many cells or
called multicellular. As we, humans are also a - Cardiac
multicellular because our body is composed of trillion - Feeder
cells. - Heart muscle
- Vascular
-
- There are over 200 different types of cells in our body - Cells!
and each of them have different functions.

- Look at this picture I have some sample body cells.

 Cardiac stem cells – found/live in our heart.

Our heart cell is capable of self-renewing and
generating coronary vessels and heart muscle
cells called cardiomyocytes.
 Feeder cells- it supports the growth of cells in
culture by contributing an undefined and
complex mixture of extracellular.
 Heart muscle cells – are striated, branched,
contain many mitochondria and are under
involuntary control.
two major types:
1. Myocardial contractile cells –
responsible for contractions
that pump through the body.
2. Myocardial conducting cells –
to initiate and propagate the
electrical activity that travels
throughout the hearts and
 triggers the contractions of
myocardial contractile cells.
 Vascular cells – this is the line of entire
circulatory system from the heart to the smallest
capillaries.

- Are you still here grade 4?

- What are the sample of body cells that we discussed

again?

- And what is the basic unit of life again?

- Very good! You really are listening. Let’s continue.

- Let’s now identify the levels of organizations in our

human body.
 Cells- the smallest and basic unit of every living
thing.
 Tissue - a group of cells that have similar
structures.
types:
 Epithelial tissue -creates protective
boundaries and involved in diffusion of
lions and molecules.
 Connective – underlies and support
other tissue.
 Muscle tissue – contracts to initiate
movement in the body.
 Nervous – transmit of the body
composed of two or more tissue.

 Organs -There are 78 organs and these five is

considered vital for survival.
 Heart
 Brain
 Kidney
 Lungs
 Liver

 Organ system – this is now the group of our - Organs

 organs that is working together to do the job for Brain
the body they lived in. Heart
example: our respiratory system and the lungs
circulatory system work closely together to kidney
deliver oxygen to cells. liver

 Organism – since we are living things, we - Organ system

human are living organism. So, we can digestive system
consume energy to food we eat, and to sustain circulatory system
our body functions. And we can grow, move, skeletal system
reproduce, being sensitive is because we are
living organism. - Tissue
connective
muscle

1.5 Enrichment Activity

- According to this picture, make a table, separate where

are the organs, organ system, and tissue and cells.

- No maam!
- Yes
 1.6 Generalization
- Very good grade 4, you are really listening on our
discussion for today.
- Just always remember and make a review about our
lesson so you won’t forget it until your exam day.
- For you to identify if its living things or not. Keep in
mind the characteristics of a living organisms.
 They can grow, reproduce, sensitivity, and can
obtain energy to survive on its own.
 Living organism is living things such as human,
plants, animals, bacteria.
 And we, humans are organism that is composed of
organ system that is separately called organs, that is
composed of different types of tissue. And that
tissue is a group of cells. And a cell is the basic unit
of life which all living things have.

- No more questions grade 4?

- Any clarifications?
