Lesson Plan in Science VI

4th Quarter-Week 7-Day 2
Active-7:00-7:40 AM
Victory-8:20-9:00 AM
Sincerity-10:30-11:10 AM

LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Compare the planets of the solar system. S6ES-IVg-h-6
I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Cognitive
 Identify the relative distances of the planets from the sun and other planets
Psycho-motor
 Construct a model of our solar system.
Affective
 Appreciate the characteristics of each planets in our solar system.
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
Planets in the Solar System
A. Concepts:
A simplified number is used to describe a planet’s distance from the Sun. It is called an
astronomical unit or AU. It is a unit of length equal to the average distance of Earth from the Sun
which is approximately 149,600,000 kilometers or 14.96 x 107 Km. Earth is assigned 1 AU. The
planets closer to the Sun has less than 1 AU while the planets farther away would have a distance
greater than 1 AU. Using AU can help scientists keep the numbers manageable or smaller because
distances in the solar system are very large.

E. Values Integration: Appreciation, Cooperation, Accuracy

III. LEARNING TASKS:

A. Elicit:
What is our lesson yesterday?
Can we just simply measure our solar system?

B. Engage:
Planet riddles part 2
1. I'm blue and green and a little brown. I'm a small planet with life all around.
They call me the third rock from the sun.I don't have many moons - just one.
2. Look very close to the sun and you'll spot, A tiny, cratered planet that's very hot. I have no
moons but I orbit the sun very fast. Can you guess my name at last?
3. I'm yellow and cloudy and super hot. Look low in the sky, I'm easy to spot. People call me
the “Evening Star” From planet Earth, I'm not very far.
4. A gas planet that's off in the distance, Only recently they found my rings in existence. I'm
blue and cold and far away, People say I'm funny because I spin sideways.
5. I'm a giant gas planet out in space, There are bands or stripes all over my face. When it
comes to size, I'm number two, I have bright rings. That's an easy clue.
C. Explore
1.Setting of standard/Safety tips
2. Group Activity
Arrange the planets in increasing order by placing 1 on the planet, which corresponds to the least
and 8 on the planet, which corresponds to the most, based on the given properties. Column no. 1
is given as an example.

D. Explain
Teacher will elaborate the answer of each group.

E. Elaborate:

My very educated mother just served us nachos.

Planet sizes can be determined from its diameter. A diameter is the distance from one end of a
circle or sphere to another side passing through the middle. Table 2 shows these numbers in
kilometers, relative diameter, and scaled sizes in centimeters.
Table 2: Scale Model of Relative Diameters of Planets

 Generalization:
Remember that Planet sizes can be determined from its diameter. A diameter is the distance from
one end of a circle or sphere to another side passing through the middle.

F. Evaluate:
Write the letter of the correct answer on a separate sheet of
paper.
1. Which planet is farthest to the Sun?
A. Earth B. Mercury C. Neptune D. Venus
2. What is the distance of Jupiter from the Sun?
A. 108 million km B. 150 million km C. 228 million km D. 778 million km
3. Which planet is farther than Saturn but nearer than Neptune from
the Sun?
A. Earth B. Mars C. Saturn D. Uranus
4. Which planet is the most beautiful because of its ring?
A. Jupiter B. Neptune C. Saturn D. Venus
5. Why is the distance of the Earth from the Sun perfect?
A. Because Earth is third from the Sun
B. Because Earth is still near the Sun
C. Because the Earth is farther than Venus
D. Because the distance makes the Earth livable
G. Extend:
Let them watch a video about planets colors and it’s reason.
