PAETE LAGUNA

ELEMENT OF TG: EXPLORE

Checking of understanding :As part of initial

activities, the learners shall explore an idea about the concept about earth and space exploration.

SCIENCE TRIVIAGALLERY TECHNIQUE

DIRECTION: Answer yes or no to explore an idea about the major concept about the earth and space.

ACTIVITY: Science Trivia

Did asteroid kill the dinosaurs?

QUESTIONS:

Answer : No

Facts 1.In time, the earth might have

become so cold that the change in climate would have killed the

dinosaurs.Facts 2.

The extinction of the dinosaurs coincided with a period of high

volcanic activity, which could have contributed to their extinction

Question : Is planet Mercury is the hottest planet on solar system

Answer: NO

FACTSPlanet Venus is the most hottest planet in solar system due to its average temperature of 900◦ F

(480◦C) that can melt lead. While planet mercury has average

temperature of -300◦F- 800◦F (-184◦C to 427◦C)

Question :Most satellite are found on the exosphere

layers. Are you agree?

ATMOSPHERIC LAYER

DISTANCE ABOVE EARTH

TRAVELERS

EXOSPHERE 400+ miles (644+km)

SATELLITES

THERMOSPHERE 50-400 miles (80-644km)

Space shuttles, auroras

MESOSPHERE 30-50 miles (48-80 km)

Flaming meteotites

STRATOSPHERE 10-30 miles (16-48 km)

Airplanes, weather balloons, clouds

TROPHOSPHERE 6-10 miles (10-16km) Humans, helicopters, weather, clouds

ANSWER :YES

Questions:

Massive stars live

longer than less massive stars. Is that

true?

ANSWER: NO

FACTS:Massive stars use up more fuel

than less- massive ones, so they actually die sooner. The length of star’s life and what happens when it dies depend

on how mass the star has when it’s born.

Learners activity

Video presentation:From the video introduce the major idea about earth and space explorations and its sub-topics

such as spaced based observations of earth, earths waters, space-based observations beyond earth, and recent discoveries and breakthrough

in space explorations.

Learning strategy: BRAINSTORMING

Group the students into 3. Learners must formulate questions on what they understand about the video presented. Support some facts that can explain about what they learn.
