Content/Topic

Members of the Solar System

Learning Competencies/ Learning Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the learners must be able to:

1. recall the objects inhabited in the solar system,

2. give the characteristics of other celestial objects in the solar system, and
3. explain the occurrence of space debris.

B. Time Allotment:
1 hour
C. Instructional Material:
 Chalk and Chalkboard
 Laptop
 Visual Aids
 Science Journal
D. Teaching Strategy
 Discovery Learning- The teacher will let the learners discover the
 concept celestial objects found in the solar system.
 Revolving circles- The teacher will let the learners discuss with the
 other groups their own understanding on the concept of other celestial
 objects through group discussion.
 Discussion Bingo -the teacher will let the learners sharpen their
 understanding the different celestial objects found in the solar system.
E. Key concepts
- Asteroid; located between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, known to be
minor planets.
- Meteors; also called shooting stars space debris that enters the Earth’s
atmosphere.
- Meteorite; meteors that enters the atmosphere and falls on the ground.
- Meteoroid; small space fragments that still travels on the space.
- Comets; cosmic snowballs that are made up of frozen gas, rocks and dusts.
F. Process skills:
- The students discuss the assigned space debris and let them brainstorm the
topic and share their understanding to other groups by revolving circles
 activity.
- The students draw some space debris in their science journal.
G. Values Integrations
- In realization, the students explain the occurrence of space debris.

Learning Activities/ Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

Preliminary Activities
- Greetings
- Opening Prayer
- Class Preparations
Recalling
- The students recall the
concept of Earth Science
and its major specialization
in understanding the solar
system.
Motivation
- The student guess the
‘Guess what Activity’.
The teacher will show the illustration on
some celestial objects in the solar system.

Presentation of Objectives
- The students read the target
lesson objectives.
The teacher will present the lesson
objectives.

Lesson Proper
- The students actively
participated the said activity
and brainstorm the assigned
topic for 5 minutes.
The teacher group the students into 5
active groups and assign to them the
celestial debris.
Assessment

The teacher raised on the board the rubrics

in their topic presentation in the revolving
circles activity.

Rubrics:

Content – 25 points
Organization of Inputs – 20 points
Cooperation – 5 points
Total: 50 points

Synthesis/Realization

The teacher asks students about what they

have learn for today’s lesson.

In realization the students explain the

occurrence of space debris in the ½
crosswise sheet of paper.

Enrichment Activity

- The students draw in their

science journal about what
they had learned in the
lesson on space debris.
