morning based on the game we played earlier?” system Teacher”

“Exactly, its all about the planets or solar

system”

“When you hear the word planet what comes in “ Solarsystem is where we can see the planets
your mind?” and moon”

“Very good. Solar system is the collection of

eight planets and their moons in orbit around
the sun, together with smaller bodies in the
form of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. The
planets of the solar system are (in order of
distance from the sun) Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.”

Mercury
- is the smallest and closest planet to the
sun in the Solar System.
Venus
- is the second planet from the Sun. It is
named after the Roman goddess of love
and beauty. As the second-brightest
natural object in Earth's night sky after the
Moon.
Earth
- is the third planet from the Sun and the
only astronomical object known to
harbor life. About 29% of Earth's surface
is land consisting of continents and
islands.
Mars
- is the fourth planet from the Sun and
the second-smallest planet in the Solar
System, being larger than only Mercury.
Jupiter
- is the fifth planet from the Sun and the
largest in the Solar System.
Saturn
- is the sixth planet from the Sun and the
second-largest in the Solar System, after
Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average
radius of about nine times that of Earth
Uranus
- is the seventh planet from the Sun. Its
name is a reference to the Greek god of
the sky, Uranus, who, according to
Greek mythology, was the grandfather
of Zeus and father of Cronus. It has the

fourth-largest planetary mass in the
Solar System.

Generalization

“So why do you think it is important we know

about solar system?

“Anyone?” “To be aware what is planets and what happens

in every planet”
“Very good, in order for us to be aware on what
is happening not just in our world but of course
outside our planet earth.”

“That’s why many people conduct a research

about planets”
“If we investigate other planets we can see
whether there are different objects we might
not know about, and it can help us to look after
our Earth too! We will get more knowledge
about the planets around us. Also, learning new
things is really cool and being able to use them
to help our planet is even better”

Application
“ Alright so since we are done discussing the
planets in our solar system, we will have here a
short activity.”

“ I will divide you in to 4 groups. You will draw all “ Yes Teacher”
the planets based on their sequence and you
need to label it. Are we clear? You have 10 mins
to do this. You can starts now.”

Evaluation

“I think you already understand our lesson, so

we will have a short quiz. Get one half sheet of
pad paper and listen to me carefully because I
will only repeat the question twice. Okay?’
