Meteorites: When a meteorite

survives and hits the ground, it’s
called a meteorite.

feedback to improve learner’s performance.

5 Abstraction
What is a meteoroid?

A meteoroid can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a boulder. When it

enters Earth’s atmosphere, the air in front of the meteoroid heats up, causing
materials to burn up. From Earth, these glowing materials appear as a streak
of light or a fast-moving bright object that appears to have a tail just like a
comet.

What celestial (space) objects can a meteoroid come from?

A meteoroid is a broken-up rock and dust from either a comet, asteroid, the
Moon, or from Mars.

What about meteor?

A meteor moves swiftly and seems to fall on the ground. Its “shoots” from a point in
the sky, making people think that it is a shooting or falling star. But actually, a
shooting star is another name for a meteor. But the truth is: a meteor is not a star at
all.
What is a meteor?
A meteor is a light phenomenon or streak of light that occurs when a meteoroid
burns up as it enters the Earth’s atmosphere

Are you familiar with meteor shower? Why does meteor shower occur?

When Earth passes through the trail of dust and gas left by a comet, the particles
enter the Earth’s atmosphere and most burn up in a lively light show, thus creating a
spectacular meteor shower.

What is a meteorite?
When a fragment from the meteoroid survives and makes it to the ground, this
space rock fragment is now called a meteorite. Most meteorites appear to have
come from asteroids. Every year, over 100 meteorites strike the Earth. But
fortunately, most of them are quite small.

What happens when a meteorite hits the Earth?

Such effects can be shock waves, heat radiation, the formation of craters with
associated earthquakes, and tsunamis if water bodies are hit. Human populations
are vulnerable to these effects if they live with the affective Zone.

How are a meteoroid, meteor, and a meteorite related?

 A meteoroid is space rock fragment before it enters Earth’s atmosphere
 When it enters the said atmosphere and burns up, a light phenomenon is
observed and called us a meteor.
 When meteoroid or part of a meteoroid survives passing through Earth’s
atmosphere, the space rock fragment that lands on Earth’s crust is now
called a meteorite.

Encourage students to think about the practical applications of their
knowledge about these celestial objects.

V. EVALUATION Part 1. Instruction: 1. On your paper draw a big circle, inside the big circle draw a medium- sized circle. In
between the big and medium circle, you label it as” outer space “This time draw again another small circle inside
the medium sized circle label the space between small and medium sized circle as the “Earth’s atmosphere and
label the small circle as the “Earth’s crust”
Use the diagram where meteoroid, meteor, and meteorite are most likely to be found.
Used the letters X, Y, and Z to represent them respectively.
X-meteoroid
Y- meteor
Z-meteorite
