A. Review
Good morning class! Good morning Sir Art!

What have we discussed last time? We discussed about the members

of the solar system.

What is a solar system? It is the sun, planets,and all other

heavenly bodies orbiting our sun.

Will you enumerate the members of our The members of our solar system are
solar system? the sun, eight planets, dwarf planets,
asteroid, meteor, and comets.

I think you are now ready to our new

lesson for today.

2. Lesson Proper

A. Motivation
I have here a two pictures of heavenly
bodies.

What can you see in these picture? The sun and the planet earth.

Will you describe the sun based from the

picture you saw? Hot ball of heavenly body.
How about the Earth?
Ball of rock and ocean.

B. Presentation of the Lesson

Today we will be dealing with sun.

C. Unlocking of Difficulties

Before we formally start our new

lesson for today, let us first unlock
words that we might surely encounter
during our discussion.

I have here a planetary orbit, each orbit

consists of a word.

You will pick a word from the orbit and

place to its correct meaning.

Is it clear? Yes sir.

Sunspot
a. dark patch on the sun.

Sun
b. a star where planet orbits.

Star
c. mass of gas in place.
 Corona
a. dark patch on the sun. d. flame form at the surface of the
b. a star where planet orbits. sun.
c. mass of gas in space. Layer
d. flame form at the surface of the sun. e. level or parts
e. level or parts.

D. Development of the Lesson

Do you think sun is a star?

What makes you think that sun is a star?

This time, I will show you a videoclip about

our sun as a star.

( Teacher will show the videoclip)

From the video you have watched, is our No sir.

sun the largest star?
VY Canis Majoris
What is the largest known star?

How do you describe the size of our sun Our sun is a medium or average-sized star.
as compared to other star?

Let’s study this picture.

The layers of the sun.

The photosphere, convection zone,

What can you see in the picture?
Will you enumerate the layers of the sun.
Will you describe the photosphere?
radiation zone and the core.
It is the surface and outermost layer of the
sun with a temperature of 6,600 o C. This
is where we can see sunspots and corona.

What is a corona? It is a solar flare formed at the surface of the

sun.

How a sunspot form?
Another layer of the sun is the convection
zone. Will you describe this layer?
What is the importance of this layer?
The next layer is the radiation zone. How
do you describe this layer?
Why living things on earth doesn’t affect
much by the radiation of the sun?
The last layer of the sun is the core. How
do you describe this layer?
What is hotter, the core or the
photosphere?
Let’s have an activity.
I have here a boiled eggs.
When a sudden eruption in the photosphere
Happens known as corona, underneath form
a dark, and cooler space known as sunspot.
Convection zone is the second outer-most
layer of the sun which energy is transported
outward mainly by convection currents.
The convection zone is responsible for
formation of cloud in the earth and on other
planets in the solar system.
Radiation zone is the third outer-most layer
of the sun that emits radiation which is
dangerous to our health.
Because radiation zone and the
photosphere lessen the effect of radiation by
blocking some of the radioactive particles
that the radiation zone releases.
Core is the inner-most and the center part of
the sun. It is mainly compose of molten
rocks where hydrogen is converted to
helium to produce energy in the form of heat
and light.
The core, because it has a temperature of
15 million degree Celsius, while
photosphere has only 6,600 degree Celsius.
 The eggshell represents the photosphere,
the cloth-like part between the shell egg and
white is the convection zone, the egg white
is the radiation zone , and the egg yolk is the
core.

Let’s imagine that this egg is the sun.

Who will go infront and show to us the

layers of the sun using an egg?

Another thing that could represent the sun

is an apple. The real skin of the apple is the photosphere
, the white portion after the skin is the
convection zone, the round space at the
center is the radiation zone and the seed is
the core.

Who will go infront and show to as the

layers of the sun using an apple?

The layers of the sun are photosphere,

convection zone, radiation zone, and the
core.

Because just like other stars, our sun is a

ball of hydrogen and helium gas that emits
light and heat.
 E. Generalization

Will you enumerate the layers of the sun?

Why our sun is considered as star?

F. Enrichment Activity

Draw the cross section of the sun showing

its layers and label its parts.

This is the sun. The sun has four layers,

core is the center, radiation zone is the
second inner-most, convection zone is the
third inner-most, and the photosphere is the
outer-most layer.

Who will go infront and explain his work to

us?
