E. Lesson Proper

Are you ready class?

Yes sir!
Today I will be your tour buddy, I am here to
guide you and lead you in the world of
science. Where going to explore and get to
know the planets in the solar system.

So fasten your seatbelt, open your mind, your

eyes, and your ears to capture and focus to
learn and to enjoy our activities. Let start.

(Play power point presentation)

Our
very
own
planet
is one
of the

members of the solar system. We must

understand our neighboring planets in the solar
system.
The solar system is composed of the Sun and
the eight planets, such as Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.

These planets are divided into 2 categories as

terrestrial or inner planets and jovial or outer
planets. Before we tackle this planets, let me
discuss first the sun.

Sun, the center of our solar system is 100

times bigger than Earth, reaches unfathomably
hot temperatures—and makes sunscreen a
really good idea. Take a breathtaking journey
to the Earth's closest star, the sun.

The 1st category in our solar system is

terrestrial or inner planets.

What planets are belonging to terrestrial or

inner planets?

These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and

Mars. These planets are primarily made of
rocky materials, surfaces are solid, they don’t
have ring systems, they have very few or no
moons, and relatively small.

Class again what are the planets belong to

terrestrial or inner planet?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
Very Good! Always remember, the terrestrial
or inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and
Mars.
Now let’s talk about the first planet that is
closest to the sun and that is mercury.
Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet
in the Solar System. Its orbital period around
the Sun of 87.97 days is the shortest of all the
planets in the Solar System. It is named after
the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger of
the gods.

Next is Venus. Venus is the second planet

from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth
days. It has the longest rotation period of any
planet It does not have any natural satellites. It
is named after the Roman goddess of love and

beauty.
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the
only astronomical object known to harbor life.
Earth formed over 4.5 billion years ago.
Earth's only natural satellite is the Moon.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the
second-smallest planet in the Solar System
after Mercury.

Those are the Terrestrial or inner planets in

our solar system.

Next is the Jovial or outer planets.

What planets are belonging to jovian or outer

planets?

These planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and

Neptune. The jovian planets include gas
giants such as Jupiter and Saturn and ice
giants Uranus and Neptune.

The gas giants are predominantly helium and

hydrogen, and the ice giants also contain
rock, ice, and mixture of water, methane and
ammonia

All jovian planets have multiple moons,

support ring system, no solid surface, and
immense in size.

The first jovian planet is Jupiter.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar

System. It is a giant planet with a mass one-
thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-
half times that of all the other planets in the
Solar System combined.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and

the second-largest in the Solar System. It is a
gas giant with an average radius about nine
times that of Earth. It has only one-eighth the
average density of Earth.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It

has the third-largest planetary radius and
fourth-largest planetary. Uranus is similar in
composition to Neptune, and both have bulk
chemical compositions.

Neptune is the eighth and farthest known

planet from the Sun in the Solar System. In
the Solar System, it is the fourth-largest
planet by diameter, the third-most-massive
planet, and the densest giant planet.

Those are the jovian or outer planets.

Based on our power point presentation, how

many planets in the solar system? 8 planets
 Very Good! There are 8 planets in the solar
system.

What are the 8 planets in the solar system?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Excellent! Uranus, and Neptune

What are the two categories of the planters?

Terrestrial or inner planets and Jovian or
outer planets
What are the planets belonging in Terrestrial
or inner planets? Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

What are the planets belonging in Jovian or

outer planets? Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

Wow very good pupils?

What is our planet?

Earth
How can you show appreciation to our very
own planet Earth? How will you take care of By keeping our surroundings clean, stop from
the Earth? cutting trees, stop burning plastics, throwing
garbage in the right place like trash can ,
Very Good! Pupils keep into your mind that recycle materials that can be used again and
our planet is our only habitable planet up to keep animals safe.
this day and into the future, so we need to
take care and show some appreciation so that
our younger generation of human race can
still see and amaze the beauty of our planet.

F. Application

F.1 Discussing new concepts and practicing new

skills #1

Now let us see if really understand the lesson,

we will be having an activity. Yes Sir

Are you ready?

Group self into 2 groups. Starting from the

left. (Pupils starting from counting and groups into
two)
I have here a Venn Diagram,
Use the Venn diagram to compare the inner
and outer planets. The middle section
represents the characteristics of the inner and
the outer planets have in common. A
represents the characteristics of the inner
planets that are different from the outer
 planets. B represents the characteristics of the
outer planets that are different from the inner
planets. Choose your answer from the box.

Okay are you done groupa1 and group 2

Okay the first group to present is group 1

Let’s give a wow clap to group 1!

Next group to present is group 2!

(Group 1 and 2 start answering)
Let’s give a wow clap to group 2!

F.2 Discussing new concepts and practicing new

skills #2 Yes Sir!

We will have another activity using (Group 1 present their Venn Diagram)
mnemonic
(My Very Eager Mother Just Serve Us Nuts) (Group 2 giving wow clap to group 1)
M for Mercury
V for Venus (Group 2 present their Venn Diagram)
E for Earth
M for Mars (Group 1 giving wow clap to group 2)
J for Jupiter
S for Saturn
U for Uranus
N for Neptune

It will help you to remember the arrangement

of the planets in the solar system from nearest
to farthest from the sun.

Are you ready pupils? Yes Sir!

Now label the planet from nearest to farthest.

Okay time up, who will answer on the boad.

Okay Asta put your answer to the board.

 (Pupils are answering)
