A Semi-Detailed Learning Plan

In Science VI

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the discussion, the students are expected to:

a. identify the types of galaxies;

b. give the importance of the types of the galaxies in to our day to day
activities; and
c. illustrate the types of galaxies.

II.SUBJECT MATTER

a. Topic : Galaxies
b. References : Science Wonders VI by: Dominga P. Mendoza, pp.289-291
c. Materials : pictures, Cartolina, Marker
d. Skills : Thinking skills and Communication skills
e. Values : Cooperation

III. PROCEDURE

A. Preliminaries
a. Drill/Review
 Lucky Star

The teacher will hide a star under the chair of the selected students
where the questions are written about the previous lesson. The teacher
will instruct the class to look for the star under their chair. The students
who can found a star will be the lucky one to answer the question.

b. Motivation
 Forced Relationship

The teacher will show several pictures and ask the students to find
out the relationships of the picture to the topic that will be discussed. The
students will share their ideas, thoughts and insights in class.
 B. Presentation
Based from our activity, what is our lesson this morning?

1. Activity Proper: Think-Pair-Share

The teacher will raise questions about the topic and let the
students to think individually. After it, teacher will ask the students
to find a partner and share their ideas to him/her.

2. Analysis: Galaxies
 A galaxy is made up of clouds of dust, gases and billions of
stars. They appear as hazy patches of light from great
distance.

TYPES OF GALAXIES

1. Spiral Galaxy- shaped like a dust with a bulge in the center. It has a bright
nucleus surrounded by a thin outer disk. Bright spiral arms coil out
from the center. It resembles a rotating pinwheel. All spiral galaxies
rotate. Examples are Milky Way and Andromeda.

2. Elliptical Galaxy- is nearly ball-shaped to lens-shaped. There are almost no

gas and dust clouds. The light from it is the brightest in the center
and gradually becomes fainter toward its outer region.

3. Irregular Galaxies- have no particular shape; it appear cloudy to the naked

eye, and the distribution of the stars in them do not follow a
regular pattern. In addition, it contains billions of stars, but
individual stars can be distinguished only with the most powerful
telescope. Examples are Large Magellanic Cloud and Small
Magellanic Cloud.

4. Intermediate Galaxies- it is between elliptical and spirals. They have disk

shape but no spiral arms; exhibit some of the properties of both
the ellipticals and spirals. Hubbles called them SO GALAXIES, they
have a bright nucleus that is surrounded by a smooth, featureless
bulge and a faint outer envelope and they are thin. They are not
luminous as elliptical, but the forms are similar to spirals. Examples
are NGC 4753 and NGC 1268.
 3. Abstraction: The teacher will ask the following questions to the
students:

 What are the types of Galaxies?

 How does each galaxies differ?
 Why are galaxies important?

4. Application: Draw to Form Me

Using materials of your choice; choose one type of galaxies
draw and illustrate it on a sheet of bond paper/ paper.

Criteria:

Content - 5points
Creativity - 3points
Neatness - 2 points
Total - 10 points

IV. EVALUATION: Quiz ( ½ crosswise)

Identify the kinds of clouds being described. Write the answers on the
blank.
1. It is between elliptical and spiral galaxies.
2. It shaped like a dust with a bulge in the center
3. They are not luminous as elliptical, but the forms are similar to spirals.
4. It appear cloudy to the naked eye.
