I. OBJECTIVES

A. Content Demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of comets, meteors,

Standard and asteroids

B. Performance Discuss whether or not beliefs and practices about comets and meteors
Standards have scientific basis

C. Learning
Compare and contrast comets, meteors, and asteroids
Competencies S8ES-IIg-22

D. Objectives At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1. Describe how impact craters are formed when a comet or asteroid

hits Earth based on a simulation; and
2. Present observations on simulating a comet or asteroid impact using
drawings.
II. CONTENT

III. CONCEPTS:

Unlocking of Difficulties
Comets – are small objects composed of rock and ice which orbit the sun.
 Meteor – is a rock which passes through the earth’s atmosphere.
Asteroid – consist of large irregular chunks or rocks.

B. Elicit Compare the characteristics of these Near-

(5 minutes) Earth Objects (NEO's), comets, meteors, and
asteroids.

Directions: Add the characteristics listed

below to the appropriate location on the
Venn diagram.

C. Engage The Teacher will show a video clip entitled:

After the video presentation, the teacher will

ask a question.
What type of video was shown? Students answer may vary

D. Explore The Teacher will conduct an activity Students will do the activity

(15 minutes) Activity 1

Procedure:

1. Fill the rectangular tray with colored or

sand about 3-4 centimeters deep.

2. Place the tray on top of a table (or armrest

of a chair).

3. Throw a pebble to hit the flour in the tray.

Do this about four times, hitting different
parts of the flour in the tray.

4. In the space below, draw the shape of the

 “craters” made by the pebble on the colored
flour or sand as:

a. viewed from the top b. viewed from

the side

Guide Questions:
1. What do you notice about the shape
of your pebble’s crater and the shape
of the impact crater shown in the
photo?
2. What do you think happened to the
plants and animals living in the area
where the comet or asteroid crashed?

If the asteroid hits on land, there would

be a huge amount of dust thrown up into
the atmosphere. If it hits in water, then
there would be an increase in water vapor
in the atmosphere. This would result in
an increase in rain resulting in landslides
and mudslides.

Regionally there might be earthquakes,

hurricanes and tsunamis due to the
increase in kinetic energy. If the asteroid
is large enough, these could be global in
impact.
F. Elaborate Impact craters resembles the shapes of the
(10 minutes) asteroid which is usually circular. The crater
is relatively larger than the meteorites itself
because of the intensity of the impact. The
immediate surrounding during impact is
pulverized by the intense heat and force
created by the impact.
