purpose for the lesson
Guess the word (Unlocking of vocabulary words)
The students will guess the word being defined by arranging the jumbled letters.
1. LPSECIE – a natural phenomenon that occurs when a celestial body passes
through the shadow of another celestial object.
2. MRUBA – the dark inner portion of the shadow cone
3. EMPURNAB – the lighter outer portion of the shadow cone
4. UMNATRBA – the part of the moon’s shadow that extends beyond the umbra
5. YSGYZY – is an alignment of three celestial objects such as the sun, moon, and
earth in a gravitational system.
C. Presenting Solar and Lunar Eclipse in the Philippines (Contextualization / Localization)
examples/instances of The teacher will present an audio-visual presentation of eclipses that recently
the new lesson occurred in the Philippines.
Partial solar eclipses nasaksihan sa Pilipinas l TV Patrol Espesyal na Lunar
Eclipse ngayong gabi, sumabay sa Super Moon l Saksi
Guide questions:
1. What type of eclipse is shown in the videos?
2. What is the other term/ name for total lunar eclipse?
3. Have you witnesses an eclipse before?
D. Discussing new APPROACH
concepts and The teacher will ask the students to share how seasons occur. Once the students
practicing new skills # have shared their answers, the teachers will present a diagram showing the interplay
1 between the sun, earth, and moon.
The teacher will explain that as the earth travels around the sun and different
hemispheres receive uneven distribution of sunlight because of its tilted axis, there
is another celestial body that moves around the earth which is the moon.
The teacher will introduce that as the earth, moon, and the sun aligned, an eclipse
will occur. To further understand the different types of eclipse, the teacher will
discuss it using PowerPoint with illustrations.
PRESENTATION
The teacher will present a PowerPoint to discuss how a solar and lunar eclipse
occur using illustrations. After discussion, the students will answer an activity.

#2 ●The students will answer an activity called “Guess the Eclipse”. The teacher will
provide descriptions for each picture to help students identify the correct answer.
Guess the Eclipse
Directions: Determine what eclipse is shown. Choose the answer from the
box below.
1.
Description: the moon completely blocks the entire disk of the sun.
2.
Description: the moon falls or passes into the darkest portion of the earth’s shadow (Umbra)
3.
Description: the moon passes into the faint shadow of the earth (Penumbra) which is why it
is difficult to distinguish
4.
Description: only a portion of the sun is blocked by the moon
5.
Description: the moon appears to be smaller than the sun which creates an outer ring of
light from the sun
