 ROTATION OF THE EARTH
A. Content Standards
The learners demonstrate understanding of the earth’s rotation and revolution.

B. Performance Standards
The learners should be able to design an emergency and prepared plan and kit.

C. Learning Competencies/ Objectives (Write the LC code for each.)

Demonstrate rotation of the earth using a globe to explain day and night (S6ES-IVe-f-
5)
Reviewing Previous Lesson

Using the diagram, describe how the Earth rotates.

Establishing a purpose for the lesson (Integration of Vocabulary

day time and night time?

Rotation of the
Earth
Video Presentation

Set up the standards in viewing a video presentation.

Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1 (Integration of Numeracy Skills)

Furthering the knowledge of the Earth’s rotation through an

improvised model.

1. Using flashlight which serves as the sun and the globe as the earth,
demonstrate the rotation of the earth. (Emphasized the period of earth’s
rotation(complete rotation = 1 day or 24 hours), the direction where it starts
to rotate, and the earth’s relation to the sun as it rotates on its axis.)
2. Identify which part of the earth receives the sunlight and the part that
doesn’t receive.
3. Tell what part of the day on the earth that receives sunlight and the part
that doesn’t receive.
4. Based on the given activity, let pupils tell what makes day and night.
Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2 (Integration of Differentiated Activity)

Standards for the simple Science activity.

Rubric in Assessing Group Performance in Simple

Science Activity (Self-Assessment)
Direction: Assess your group performance in
accomplishing the task provided.
Description Ratings
1. All members take part in the group
activities. 1 2 3 4 5
2. Members agree and supports with each
other. 1 2 3 4 5

1. Fill in the blank.

The light comes from the _______.
The light shines on our planet _______________.
Every day the earth _________ around its __________.
When the sun shines on us it is _________________.
When we face away from the sun it is _________________________.

Earth sun axis daytime

rotates/spins night time

2. Label and color the picture to show where it is day and where it is night.

Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily
living (Integration of HOTS)

If the Earth will stop from rotating, what effects might it

bring to the earth itself, to the people and other living
organism on it, to the temperature, etc?
Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

What is rotation?
It is the spinning or movement of the Earth on its axis
from west to east and completed in 24 hours or 1 day.

What causes day and night?

The rotation of the Earth causes day and night.
Formative Evaluation

Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is

wrong.
 
1. Rotation of the Earth causes night and day.
2. It takes one year or 365 & ¼ days for the Earth to rotate completely
on its axis.
3. Different parts of the Earth experience day and night because the
Earth is rotating on its axis.
4. When the sun shines on the part of the Earth, that part is night time.
5. The activities of people on the different parts of the Earth differ
during day time and night time.
Homework
Describe in 3 sentences how Earth revolves
around the sun.
