Do you have question?

That was a good question.

*Students reading the sentence clearly.
There is a light at night because of the lights
that sun bring and it reflects to the moon.
That’s why. Whatever you feel and whatever
you see here on earth, you cannot see it
without the sunlight of the sun. Do you
understand?

 No atmosphere to speak of Yes, ma’am.

Do you now know the characteristics of

mercury, does the living things can survive? *Students listening

That’s great! The second one is, the venus.

Kindly, read the first bullets.
That’s amazing.

 Strongest winds in the solar system
 Cold temperatures ( -214degree celsius)
 Has faint rings and 14 moons

What is your question? *Students listening

Currently, Only the planet earth can be the

planet that support life. While the other
planets, especially Mars, are being explored
for potential future colonization, but they lack
the necessary conditions for humans to survive *Students reading the text.
without extended technological.

Is it clear now to all of you?

That’s why we should appreciate and love our

earth because someday if the earth destroyed,
there is no planet to live on.

How we can show the appreciation and love

our earth?

Mother Earth as we all call it is our home.
