Previous Lessons Review:

Directions: In the previous lesson, we learned about the

importance of knowing the weather pattern and season in our
country. Read the sentences. Write AJA if the statement is true,
and BOOM if it is not.

1. During the rainy season in the Philippines, farmers are

getting
ready for the planting season.
2. Dry season in the Philippines is between January and May. It
is
the period that the government takes advantage of to
construct roads, drainages, and other infrastructures.
3. Weather patterns help the government in preparing
precautionary measures for the typhoon months.
4. The Philippines does not have a pronounced weather pattern.
5. The southwest monsoon brings the wet season in the
Philippines.
It is the harvest time for the rice growers of the country.

Lesson
Study the two pictures below.

At what time of the day does picture A show?

What about picture B?
Picture A shows daytime while picture B nighttime.
Daytime happens when there is daylight and happens between
sunrise and sunset while nighttime happens when there is
darkness.
Having daytime and night system help us live better on earth.
We can work and play during the day and sleep and rest at
night.

Imagine what would happen if there was no day or if there was

no night. What would the world be like then?

Use of HOTRS Questions

Experiment Time!

Why is there is day and night? Let us answer this

question by doing the activity below.

Activity 1 Rotation

Procedure:
1. Get a globe/ ball and a big flashlight.
2. Place the globe/ball on the table and mark off the Philippines
with tape.
3. Hold the flashlight at one meter distance from the globe.
4. Darken the room and turn the flashlight on.
5. Ask a friend or a family member to turn the globe slowly.
Spin
the ball slowly between your fingertips.
6. Observe as part of the globe/ball goes into the light and the
other part move out.

Questions:
1. Did the whole globe/ball receive light from the flashlight?
2. When the other part receives light, what happens to the
other
part?
3. If the Philippines is facing the light source, what countries are
on
the side opposite the light source?

D. Discussing new Free Discussion

concepts and
practicing new
skills #1.

About half of the entire globe received light from the flashlight.
It is dark on the side opposite the light source. If the Philippines
faces the light source, the United States of America, Canada
and other countries on the opposite part of the globe are on the
dark side. It is day on the lighted portion and night on the dark
side as the Earth rotates on its axis. When the sun seems to rise
in the east, half of Earth is facing the sun. When the sun seems
to set in the west, the same portion is facing the opposite
direction. The Earth rotates continuously so day follows night
and night follows day. Earth’s rotation causes day and
night. The Earth rotates in a counter clockwise direction as
seen above the North Pole and clockwise as seen above the
South Pole.

Look at the illustration. You notice that Earth tilts on its axis at
an angle of 23.5 degrees (23.50). This axis is an imaginary
line that runs through Earth. At the two opposite ends of the
axis are the North Pole and the South Pole. The tilt of Earth’s
axis makes day and might unequal in length. The globe
represents the Earth. It spins or rotates on its axis. Earth’s axis
is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. It takes about 24
hours or one day for Earth to make a complete rotation. There
are about 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of night time which
make one whole day.

What will happen if the earth does not rotate?

The portion of the earth facing the sun would always experience
day, thus bringing continuous warmth to the region. The other
half would remain in darkness and be freezing cold all the time.
Life would not have been possible in such extreme conditions.

Application of Game: Like or Unlike Sign

Directions: Read each sentence. Choose the Like Sign if the

statement is correct and Unlike Sign if it is incorrect.

1. The whole part of the earth faces the sun at the same time.

2. When the sun shines on the part of the earth, that part is
experiencing night time.

3. Different parts of the earth experience day and night

because
the earth is rotating on its axis.

4. The part of the earth that is away from the sun is

experiencing
daytime.

5. The earth rotates in a counter-clockwise direction.

E. Discussing new Experiment No. 2

concepts &
practicing new Let us do Activity 2 to learn about the other movement of the
skills #2 Earth, revolution.

Activity 2
Ask a family member to help you with this activity. This activity
will show us how the earth rotates and revolves. You will act as
the Earth and your family member will act as the Sun.

Procedure:
1. Draw a large circle on the ground.
2. Your family member or friend will act as the Sun will stand at
the center of the circle.
3. You as the Earth will stand at the circumference of the circle.
4. You (the Earth) will walk around the circle or orbit around
your family member (the Sun).
5. Can you rotate and revolve at the same time?

At the same time that the Earth spins on its axis, it also orbits,
or revolves around the Sun. This movement is called
revolution. The motion around the Sun along its orbit is called
a revolution. The amount of time it takes for a single trip
around the Sun is called period of revolution. The period for
the Earth to revolve around the sun is 365.25 days or one
year. The 0.25 days is why every four years February has
29 days. This is referred to as the leap year.
The Earth revolves around the Sun because gravity keeps it in a
roughly circular orbit around the Sun. The Earth's orbital path is
not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse, which means that it
is like a slight oval in shape. The Earth follows a definite path
called orbit and travels around the sun in a counter
clockwise direction.
As the Earth revolves around the sun, its axis is tilted by
≈23.5 (≈ means approximately equal to) degrees. Since the
axis is tilted, the effects of revolution of the Earth are different
for different parts of the globe. Certain areas are tipped
towards, or away from, the sun at different times of the year.

How fast does the Earth travel around the Sun?

The closest Earth gets to the Sun each year is at perihelion (147
million km) on about January 3rd and the furthest is at aphelion
(152 million km) on July 4th. Earth’s elliptical orbit has
nothing to do with Earth’s seasons. During one revolution
around the Sun, Earth
travels at an average distance of about 150 million km. Earth
revolves around the Sun at an average speed of about 27 km
(17 mi) per second, but the speed is not constant. The planet
moves slower when it is at aphelion and faster when it is at
perihelion.

What causes seasons?

Commonly it is believed that distance of the Earth to the Sun

decides the season or temperature on earth. However it is not
true. Actually axial tilt of the Earth on its axis while revolving
around Sun regulates seasons on planet Earth with one of the
Hemisphere facing away or towards Sun. The reason the
Earth has seasons is that the Earth is tilted ≈23.50 on its
axis.
