GROUP ACTIVITYY: TIMER

START

GROUP I - Modelling the Motion of the

Earth and Day and Night

GROUP 2 - Sunlight and the Tilting of

the Earth
GROUP 3 – Dramatizing ( Activity
during day and night )
GROUP 4 – Human modeling of Earth
Day and Night
 Group 1
Modelling the Motion of the Earth and
Day and Night
Materials:
Globe (to represent the Earth), lamp (to
represent the sun), bright-colored tape (to represent
the location of the school).
Procedure:
Switch off the lights, and close door. Place the lamp
in a fixed position and then slowly turn the globe
counterclockwise. This would be
demonstrated by the teacher.
Questions:
1. As shown by this demonstration, what is
happening to the light on Earth as it turns?
2. When the school area is in darkness, what
is the position of the sun relative to Earth?
 GROUP 2- Sunlight and the Tilting of Earth
Materials:
Medium –sized round object (orange, plastic foam ball, and
the like)
Marker Flashlight
Pencil or stick
Procedure:
1. Draw a line around the middle of the round object. The object represents Earth and the line is
the equator.
2. Carefully push the pencil or stick through the round object at a right angle to the equator. The
stick represents the imaginary axis.
3. Hold the round object so that the North Pole tilts toward any fixed object. Have your partner
hold a flashlight and shine it at the center of the ball. The flashlight represents the sun.
4. Make a chart to record your observations.
Tilt of Earth Part of Earth Exposed to Light
First Quarter
Second Quarter
Third Quarter
Fourth Quarter
5. Move the round object through a quarter of its path or a quarter of a circle to your right. Walk
around your partner and make sure that tip of the stick is still pointing toward your chosen
fixed object.
6. Have your partner turn so the flashlight always shines at the center of the round object. Take
note which pole is tilted toward the light and which part of the planet is exposed to more
sunlight. Record your observations.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 move around the Sun.
Guide Questions:
1. Which part of the round object used
in the experiment will experience
summer, winter, spring, or fall?
2. When will the Northern part of the
equator experience summer? What
about the southern part of the equator?
3, How does the length of daytime at
the pole change as Earth orbits the
Sun? When will the North Pole
experience longer daytime?
 GROUP 3
DRAMATIZING( Activity during day and night )

Procedure:

Make a drama showing the activity

during night and one drama scenario
that showing activity in the day.
 GROUP 4
Human Modeling of the Earth Day and Night

Procedure:

1. Chose a member to represent as an Earth,

2. Chose a member to represent as a Sun,

3. Move around the person who is standing in
the middle,
4. Repeat steps 4 to 5 move around the sun.
Pupils present their output on the activity.

GROUP 2 ONLY
Guide Questions:
1. Which part of the round object used in the
experiment will experience summer, winter,
spring, or fall?
2. When will the Northern part of the equator
experience summer? What about the
southern part of the equator?
3, How does the length of daytime at the pole
change as Earth orbits the Sun? When will the
North Pole experience longer daytime?
