Now, we will have a game called

“FIND THE IMAGE”. I have here
some puzzle pieces. All you have to
do is to arrange the picture with the
use of a puzzle piece and describe
what image have you found.

What are the images you have found in the puzzle

pieces?
There is a moon, stars, planets and a shooting star,
teacher.

That’s correct! Where can we see those things?

In the sky, teacher.

Is it during the daytime or nighttime?

During nighttime, teacher.

Great job!

Great! Now, we will watch the song “Night Sky”

But before that, what are the things you need to (Pupils raised their hands)
remember while watching a video?

Sit properly.
Watch attentively.
Don’t make any noise.
Do not talk with your seatmate.
Avoid standing while watching.

Amazing! Now, we will sing the song “Night Sky”

(Pupils will sing)

Very good!

3. Comparison and Abstraction

What was the video all about?

It’s all about the night sky, teacher.

Very good! Based on the video you have watched,

what is the dark thing? The dark thing is the sky, teacher.

Nice! How about those little things that shine?

The stars, teacher.

That’s right! What is the big thing that glows

based on the video? It’s the moon, teacher.

Great! Now, let’s go back to the picture that you

find a while back.

How can you describe the sky in the picture?

The sky is dark, teacher.
When the sky is dark, what can you see in the
picture?
The moon, teacher.

In your thoughts, what can you say about the moon

in the picture?
The moon in the picture is big and it’s bright,
teacher.

That’s correct! The moon is the Earth’s natural

satellite. A natural satellite is a space body that
orbits a planet.

What is the Earth’s natural satellite, grade three?

The natural satellite of the Earth is the moon,
teacher.
Very good! Now can you tell me the difference
between these two moons?

The first moon is darker than the second moon,

teacher.

Very good! What else?

The second moon is bigger than the first moon,
teacher.

That’s correct! The first moon is what we call the

new moon.
The new moon doesn’t have light, teacher.

The moon is not seen during its new moon phase

because its dark side is facing the Earth. The moon
pulls the waters of the Earth causing the high tide
towards it and that is one effect of the moon on our
natural resources.

How about the second moon?

It shines brightly, teacher.

That’s correct! What is your thought about the full

moon?
The moon is bright and we can see the whole face
of the moon, teacher.
Good job! When it is a full moon, the moon is
completely lighted half of the Moon is facing the
Earth.

According to the doctors in the mental hospitals,

many patients with mental problems enter the
hospital for consultation during a full moon. The
full moon indeed affects the condition of people’s
minds.

How do moons help seafarers?

The moon provides light to travelers, seafarers,
and seamen.

That’s right! When the moon is not visible in the

night sky, stargazing can easily be done because
thousands of stars are visible in the night sky.

What do you call the animals that are active during

nighttime? Nocturnal animals, teacher.

Can you give me an example of nocturnal animals? Bats and owls, teacher.

Very good! Nocturnal animals are animals that are

active during the night. They hunt food during
nighttime

sky?

Yes, it’s because the stars are very far away. The
size of a star can be 450 times smaller to over 1500
times bigger than the sun.

The sun is also an example of a star. The sun is the

closest star to Earth.

Can you give me the color of a star? Blue.

What else can you see in the picture?

A shooting star, teacher.

Good! A shooting star is an example of a

meteorite. What is your thought about a shooting If you see a shooting star, make a wish and it will

Meteoroids are pieces of rocks and metallic objects

moving through space but once they enter the
atmosphere of the Earth, they become meteors or
shooting stars.

That’s correct! Comets are small, icy bodies that

move around the sun. When they get near the sun,
some of the ice on the comets turns into gases. The
gases and dust released from the ice develop into a
long, bright tail.

Planet Venus is the brightest planet in the solar

system. They also called it Earth’s twin because it
almost has the same size and mass as Earth.

How about the planet that is able to support life?

It offers liquid water, an oxygen-rich atmosphere,

Planet Mars is called the Red Planet because it is

covered with iron. Jupiter, teacher.

How about the biggest planet?

Planet Jupiter has 19 moons.

Saturn, teacher.
How about the planet known as the Ringed Planet?

Saturn is the largest planet in the solar system. The
