about superstitions on
comets and asteroids
READ the statement below.
Illicit from the students their
opinions and reactions.
There are many
superstitions that comets,
asteroids, and meteors are
signs of the end of the world.
If you research history, you
can find that a lot of comets
coincide with natural
disasters. This has been a
big reason that some people
believe comets are a sign of
doomsday. Again, this is a
superstition. The Bible
identifies apostates with
comets and asteroids.

E. Developing mastery
(Leads to Formative Assessment)
F. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living
1. Has Earth ever been hit by
a comet or an asteroid?
2. If yes, how have such
impacts affected Earth?
3. How often does a comet or
an asteroid hit Earth?
Write 5 superstitious beliefs
that coincide with the
appearance of meteorites and
comets.
Meteoroid, meteor, and
meteorite: How are they related?
Make an inference
Have you ever seen a
shooting star in the
night sky? It appears
as an object with a tail
just like a comet. It
travels quickly and
appears to fall on the
ground. A shooting star
is another name for a
meteor. But the truth is:
a meteor is not a star at all. A
meteor is a light phenomenon or
a streak of light that occurs
when a meteoroid burns up as it
enters Earth’s atmosphere. A
meteoroid is a broken up rock
and dust from either a comet,
asteroid, the Moon, or from
Mars.
What are the differences
between asteroids, meteorites,
and comets?
Draw in a short bond paper a
comet, asteroid and a meteorite.
Describe each.
