4. Class Rules

Before we finally move on to our lesson,

B. Establishing Lesson Purpose

1. Motivation

Activity: Globe and Flashlight

Materials: Globe or ball, flashlight

I have a globe here, and this flashlight

will be our Sun. I want one or two volunteers to
help spin the Earth slowly. Watch carefully!

Look at the globe. The side facing the

Sun is bright. Is it day or night?
The side facing the Sun is daytime.
Good! Now, the side away from the Sun
is dark. Is it day or night?
The side away from the Sun is nighttime.
So, what makes day and night happen?
Day and night happen because the Earth is
spinning on its axis.
Very good! Now, think about everything
we just observed. If you were to guess, what do
you think our lesson will be today?
I think our lesson today will be about how Earth’s
rotation causes day and night.

2. Presentation
Our topic for today is all about earth’s
rotation and revolution. At the end of our
discussion, I am expecting that you should be
able to define earth’s rotation, explain how
earth’s rotation cause day and night, and
perform differentiated activities related to
Earth’s rotation.

Can I expect that from you all? Yes ma’am.

C. Developing and Deepening

Understanding

Activity 1: Earth’s Rotation (Day and Night)

From our activity earlier, we learned that

the Earth is moving. Now, let us explore this
movement more closely.

A representative will hold the flashlight

as the Sun. One volunteer will slowly spin the (Student spins the globe while others observe.)
globe.

As the Earth spins, what do you notice The Earth is moving in a counterclockwise
about its motion? Which direction is the Earth direction.
moving- clockwise or counterclockwise?

The part of the Earth facing the Sun becomes

As the Earth continues to spin, what do bright.
you notice happens to the part facing the Sun?

The light is moving as the Earth spins.

Is the light always staying in one place,
or is it moving as the Earth spins? When it is bright, it is daytime.

When it is bright, is it day or night?

No, the whole Earth does not experience daytime
Does the whole earth experience at the same time.
daytime at the same time?

The part not facing the sun becomes dark.

What happens to the part of the Earth
that is not facing the Sun?
While one place is having daytime, the other side
While one place is having daytime, what is having nighttime.
is happening to the other side of the Earth?

The Earth is spinning around an

imaginary line called the axis. The earth axis is an imaginary line running through
the planet from the north pole and the south pole.
What is the Earth axis?

It takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin once around

its axis.
How long do you think it takes for the
Earth to spin once around its axis?

Exactly! One full spin of the Earth on its

axis is called one rotation, and it gives us one
day. The Earth needs to rotate so we can have a day
and night and so living things can rest and stay
Why do you think it is important that the alive.
Earth rotates?

It takes 24 hours for the earth to complete one full

rotation on its axis.
How long does it take for the earth to
complete one full rotation on its axis?

Earth’s rotation is the spinning of the

earth on its axis. This rotation causes day and
night and it takes 24 hours to complete.

D. Generalization

Game: Write and raise!

I will group the class into four groups.

Each group will receive one board and

one chalk. I will read a question related to our
lesson on Earth’s rotation.

You will be given 15 seconds to think

and write your answer.

When the time is up, I will say RAISE,

and all groups will raise their boards at the
same time. Each correct answer will earn one
point.
Rules
I want you to strictly follow our rules.  Write your answer only after the
teacher reads the question.
 No shouting of answers.
 No peeking at other groups’ boards.
 Raise the board only when the
teacher says RAISE.

Yes ma’am
Do you understand?
