IV. PROCEDURES ACTIVITIES
A. Reviewing Review the Lesson
previous lesson or Request a volunteer from the class to spin on his/her spot. Ask the class what movement did their
Presenting the classmate performed. (Rotation)
New Lesson When we say Rotation is the spinning of the Earth on its axis. it rotates on its axis once every 24 hours.

Request again a volunteer to rotate by walking around inside the classroom. Ask the class what
movement was demonstrated by their classmate. (Revolution)

Revolution is the Earth's movement around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun once every 365 days

Presenting the New Lesson!

Stock Knowledge: Let’s try the REVIEW PARTY

Pick a question and answer PAKAK if the statement is correct while CHUKCHAK if it is WRONG.

1. The sun is the center of the solar system

2. There are 12 planets in the solar system.
3. Planet Earth is the only planet known to support life
4. Venus is the hottest planet
5. the first planet and nearest to the sun is Mercury

lesson

With the video we watched, we learned about the inner and outer planets. Now, let's further study them.

C. Presenting The Solar System

examples / The solar system is a gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit the star. The
instances of the largest of such objects are the eight planets, in order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,
new lesson two gas giants named Jupiter and Saturn, and two ice giants named Uranus and Neptune.

The eight planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune. Pluto was once considered a planet, but it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
 The planets in our solar system are divided into two groups. These are the inner and outer planets. The
inner planets are the four planets closer to the Sun. the outer planets are those farther from the Sun.

The Planets

A. MERCURY
 Is the smallest planet in the solar system and the nearest planet to the sun.
 Its side facing the sun is very hot, while the other side not facing the sun is very cold.
B. VENUS
 It is the hottest planet in the solar system
 Has retrograde rotation – so the sun rises in the west and sets in the east!
 Reaches 900F at the surface due to a strong greenhouse effect.
C. EARTH
 Is the only planet known to support life!
 Has a surface composed of 71% water.
 Water is necessary for life on Earth.
D. MARS
 Mars appears red because of iron oxide, or rust, in its soil.
 Twin planet of Earth
The Outer Planets
A. JUPITER
 Is the largest, most massive planet.
 Takes about 12 years to orbit the sun.
 Jupiter has 67 known moons.
B. SATURN
 Considered as the ring planet because of its icy ring system
 Takes about 30 years to orbit the sun.
C. URANUS
 Ice giant planet
 Is about 4 times larger than Earth
D. NEPTUNE
 Coldest planet in the solar system
