D. Abstract
*The teacher will present the lesson.
*The teacher will discuss the characteristics of Terrestrial planets.
*The teacher will ask the following questions to facilitate participation from the
pupils.
 1. What are the terrestrial planets?
2. What are the characteristics of the inner planets?
3. In what ways are the terrestrial planets similar and different?

E. Application
 Instruction: The pupils will group into 4 groups; they will differentiate the
characteristics of planets discussed in this lesson. In a ½ manila paper they
should copy the chart that flash in the projector and fill out with the needed
information. And after they fill out, the groups will choose one representative to
present their presentation with the entire class. And lastly the teacher will ask the
pupils of what are their similarities and differences among the terrestrial planets?
