Good morning class
Good Morning Ma’am Rachel Good Morning classmates Good Morning!
Take your seat please.
Thank you! (Pupils be seated)
Let’s recall what we had yesterday. What is our topic yesterday?
It is all about the motion of the moon
Very good! What do you call when the lighted side gets smaller during the change of full moon to the new moon?
It is called the waning phase
Very good! How about when the lighted side gets smaller during the change of new moon to the full moon?
It is called the waxing phase
Very well! 2. Motivation Before we proceed to our next lesson, we will play a game first. I will divide you into two groups. This
(Pupils listen)
will be the group one and this will be the group two. I will give both groups a puzzle that you are going to solve. The first group that will finish the task will win the game. Is that clear?
Yes, it is
Very well! I will now distribute to you the materials (teacher distribute the materials) At the count of 3 the game will start 1,2,3! (Game Proper)
(Game Proper)
Since group ___ solve the puzzle first, They are the winners Let us give them a “Yes Clap”
(Pupils Clap)
Very Good! 3. Science Vocabulary What do you think is being portrayed by the Illustration you formed in the game?
(Pupils answer)
Alright! Let us see if you are correct as we watch this Video clip Let’s watch this video clip. (Film viewing)
(Pupils watch)
What is the video all about?
Its all about solar and lunar eclipse.
Based on the video clip, what is being portrayed by the illustrations you formed in the game?
Solar and Lunar Eclipse
What eclipse is when the moon blocks the light from the sun and forms a shadow on earth? Very good! How about when the Earth blocks the light from the
It is a solar eclipse.
sun and forms a shadow on the moon?
It is called lunar eclipse.
Very well! Let’s learn more about eclipses on our next activity. 4. Presentation a. Presentation of materials I will group you into two. The first group will work the activity for solar eclipse and the other group will work for the lunar eclipse. You will have a flashlight, globe, small ball as materials for the activity. b. Statement of the problem Our main problem in this activity is “What happens during the eclipse?” Again, What is our main problem in this activity?
“What happens during the eclipse?”
Very good! c. Setting of standards This will be the solar eclipse group and this will be the lunar eclipse group. This activity has time allotment of five minutes You need to exercise coopertion within the Group as you do the activity. You may talk to your groupmates but not too loud Is that clear? Alright! d. Distribution of Activity Card I am now going to distribute the activilty sheet to you. Read carefully the instructions and answer the following questions completely. B. Guided Exploration 1. Activity Proper
Yes Ma’am!
(the pupils do the activity) Okay times up! Each group will choose a leader to present their work
(pupils present their work)
Very good! 2. Analysis Did Earth (globe) get lighted from the sun? why?
No because the light from the sun is blocked by the moon
What was formed when the light from the sun was blocked?
A shadow was formed
Where did the shadow formed?
In the Earth (globe)
What is the eclipse called?
Solar Eclipse
Very good! How about in lunar eclipse? What blocked the light from the sun?
The Earth (globe)
What was formed then?
Shadow
Where did the shadow fall?
In the moon
What is the eclipse called?
Lunar Eclipse
Very good! C. Guided Discovery 1. Generalization Therefore, what is an eclipse?
An Eclipse is a shadow casts by the moon or Earth in space.
What are the two types of eclipse?
The two types of eclipse are solar and lunar eclipse
What happens during solar eclipse?
The moon blocks the light from the sun and forms a shadow on earth.
How about during lunar eclipse?
The Earth blocks the light from the sun and forms a shadow on the moon.
Very well said
2. Application In our next activity, I will group you into two groups.
We are going to use the same groupings we had done in our later activity. I will give each group illustration boards, marker, watercolor, ruler, and other drawing materials. What you are going to do is to illustrate what happens during solar and lunar eclipse. Solar grou will draw about the Solar Eclipse and the other group is the Lunar Eclipse. Then, the leader will present their work. Is that clear?
Yes, it is
You have ten minutes to finish the task. I will distirbute to you the materials now. (teacher distribute the materials) You may now start the activity. (Activity Proper)
(Activity Proper)
Time’s up Leaders, present your work (Presentation by the leaders)
(Presentation by the leaders)
Very Good! 3. Valuing Is it safe to look at the sun directly during solar Eclipse.
No.
What will happen of you look directly to the sun during solar eclipse?
It may cause blindness.
To avoid the harmful effect in looking directly to the sun, we may wear an exposed photo film or a piece of glass covered with soot. Why should we practice the safety measures during a solar eclipse? Very Good! IV.
EVALUATION
Get your notebook and answer the following.
To avoid the harmful effects
A. Define what is being described. ____1. It is a shadow cast by a heavenly body in space. ____2. It occurs during a full moon when Earth is between the sun and moon ____3. A shadow is formed on it during a solar eclipse ____4. It blocks the light coming from the sun during a lunar eclipse. ____5. It occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth. B. For numbers 6-9, draw the position of the Sun, Moon, and Earth during Solar and Lunar Eclipse 6-7. Solar Eclipse
8-9. Lunar Eclipse
C. For number 10, Discuss briefly the safety measure during Solar Eclipse.
Okay class! Are you through?
Yes, we are
Let’s answer this..
(pupils answers are 1.eclipse 2. Lunar eclipse 3. Earth 4. Moon 5. Solar Eclipse 6-7. {Sun – Moon – Earth} 8-9. {Sun – Earth – Moon} 10. Use an exposed photo film or a piece of glass covered with soot during solar eclipse.)
Very Good! Count the number of correct answers. How many 10, 9, . . . . 0?
(Pupils raise their hands)
Very Good!
V. ASSIGNMENT For your assignment… (teacher posts the assignment) Will you please read ? Draw the model of solar and lunar eclipse and describe the process.
(pupils read)
Is that clear?
Yes, it is
Very good Lets stand up and pray!
Amen…
Goodbye class!
