planets, dwarf planets, asteroid and meteor.

And what are those Eight planets? Sir the eight planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

2. Lesson Proper

A. Motivation

Before we start in our lesson

I want you to guess our new topic for

today.
(The pupil are answered)
Let’s have game

Our game called 4 Pics 1 word

Are you familiar with this game?
Yes, Sir
I reveal the pictures and then you
guess what it says?
It’s that clear?
Sir, Sir
Okay, Let’s start

(4Pics1word)

Now can you guess our puzzle?

Sir, It’s the Sun!
Very Good!!
 B. Presentation of the lesson

Our Topic for today Is all about The

Sun.

I have here another video

presentation for you to learn about
the sun.

Before we start what you should have

to do while all of you are watching?
 Watch the video properly
 Take a note the important details
 Keep quiet
Very Good!!

Now, Let’s proceed to the video.

(Video Presentation)

C. Unlocking of Difficulties

This is a planetary orbit; each orbit

consists of a word.
You will pick a word from the orbit and
place to its correct meaning.

It’s that clear?

Yes, Sir.

Sunspot Sunspot
a. Dark patch of the sun
Corona
Sun
Star b. Dark patch of the sun

Star
Sun c. Mass of gas in space.

Corona
d. Mass of gas in space.

Layer
a. Dark patch of the sun e. Mass of gas in space.

b. A star where planet orbit

c. Mass of gas in space.

d. Flame form at the surface of the sun

e. Level or parts.
 D. Development of the Lesson

Do you think sun is a star?

Yes, Sir.

What makes you think that sun is a

star? Because just like star, sun is a ball of hydrogen
and helium gas that emits light and heat.
This time, I will show you a video clip
about our sun as a star.

Shall we proceed?
Yes, Sir.
(teacher will show the video clip)

From the video you have watched, is

our sun the largest star?
No, Sir.

What is the largest known star?

VY Canis Majoris

How do you describe the size of our

sun as compared to other star?
Our sun is a medium or average – sized star.
Let’s study this picture.

(insert picture of the parts of the sun)

What can you see in the picture?

The layers of the sun.
Will you enumerate the layer of the
sun?
Sir, the layers of the sun are: photosphere,
Convection Zone, Radiation Zone and the core.
Will you describe the photosphere?
Sir, It is the surface of the sun.
What is a Corona?
Sir, it is a solar flare formed at the surface of the
sun.
How sunspots form?
Sir, when the solar flare happens the underneath
form dark and cooler space called sunspot.
Another, how about Convection
Zone?
Sir, the convection zone is the second outer-
most layer of the sun.
Very Good!

For your activity, I have here a

manila paper. With unlabeled layers
of the sun, I want you to paste their
name each layer.

Did you get it?

Yes,sir.
(the activity has ended)
 E. Generalization

Will you enumerate the layers of the

sun? The layer of the sun are photosphere,
convection zone, radiation zone and the core

Is the sun is considered as star?

Yes, Sir.
Why our sun is considered as star?
Because our sun and another are made up of
hydrogen and helium gas.
F. Enrichment Activity

For your group activity I will give you

the parts of the sun and you will form
them in order and post it on board.

It’s that clear?

Yes, sir

Before we start your group activity what

you should do while you’re working?  Participate with the group.
 Work actively
 Work quietly
Very Good!!

I will give you 5 minutes to do your

activity, you can work now. CORONAA
