LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE V Prepared by: Regine D. Santiago

I. Objectives • At the end of forty-five minute period, the students are expected to: o. Identify the planets in the Solar System o. Classify the planets into two major groups, the inner and outer planets o. Describe the specific characteristics of the planets in the Solar System

II. Subject Matter a. Topic: The Solar System b. Reference: Science Links: Work text in Science and Health for Grade V, RBEC c. Materials: Activity Sheets, OHP, Laptop

III. Procedure A. Pre-lesson Presentation 1. Review Identify the layers of Earth’s atmosphere that are described below. Write your answers in the blank. 1. The layer in which we live and breathe and where weather occurs. 2. Situated above the troposphere that extends up to 80 kilometers from the Earth’s surface. 3. A layer of very thin air and very cold temperature that extends up to 300 kilometers above that stratosphere. 4. The thickest layer that reaches a height of 400 kilometers. 5. The boundary between the Earth and outer space.

2. Motivation o Mini game (Boys vs. Girls) Distribute the puzzle each for the group of boys and group of girls they will compete to solve the given puzzle in one minute. After the game, the representative of the group will present the answers to the class. The first group who solve the puzzle will have plus points.

B. Lesson Proper 1. Lesson Presentation Present the picture of Solar System and the nine planets.

2. Analysis and Discussion a) What can observe you observe about the picture? b) What are planets that closest to the sun? c) What can observe the four planets that are farthest from the Sun? • Discuss the specific characteristics of the planets.

Group Activity Divide the class into three groups. Have the groups to discuss and answer the guide questions designated to them. And let them answer within five minutes. • Group 1: Give the names of the inner planets in the solar system and explain why these planets are called as rocky planets. • Group 2: Name the outer planets and explain why they are called the gas giants. • Group 3: Give the specific characteristics of the planets in the Solar System.

3. Application Answer the following questions: a) What planet orbits closest to the Sun? b) What planet known to harbor life and home of the human beings? c) What is the largest planet? d) What is the brightest object in our sky after the Sun and the Moon? e) What planet distinguished by its rings?

• Let the learners give the similarities and differences of the Inner and Outer Planets by the use of Venn diagram within five minutes only.

• Explain first how to answer using Venn diagram. 1 – differences of inner planets to outer planets 2 - similarities of inner planets to outer planets 3 - differences of outer planets to inner planets 1 22 3

IV. Generalization Wrap up the lesson by having the pupils answer the following questions. • What are the eight planets of the Solar System? • What are the two groups of planets in the Solar System? • What are the inner planets? • What are the outer planets?

Mercury Venus Neptune Planets of the Solar System Uranus Earth Mars Saturn Jupiter

INNER PLANETS TWO GROUPS OF THE PLANETS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM OUTER PLANETS Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn INNER PLANETS OUTER PLANETS Earth Uranus Mars Neptune

V. Evaluation Direction: Draw a smiley if the statement is correct and a sad face if it is wrong. 1. Mercury, Earth, Venus and Mars are the outer planets. 2. The four planets closest to the Sun are inner planets. 3. The largest planet is Saturn. 4. The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. 5. Venus is the brightest planet in the Solar System.

VI. Assignment • Draw the planets revolving the Sun in the Solar System in a long sized bond paper.
