A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer

Please stand for the opening prayer.

Please lead the prayer, Leah?
In the name of the father, the son, the
holy spirit, Amen…
2. Greetings

Good morning, class!

Good morning, ma’am.
How are you this morning?
We are fine, ma’am.
That is so nice to hear from you. May I
request everybody to stand still?

3. Songs

Let us have an action song first. I am

going to show a dance video over the screen in
front and all you have to do is to follow the
steps. Would that be fine to you?

4. Class Rules

Before we finally move on to our lesson,

let us first have an agreement. Is that fine with
you all?
Yes ma’am.
I want you to keep all the things that are
not needed to our discussion.

What will you do if you want to answer,

ask or clarify something?

Very good! Raise our hand silently, ma’am.

And what will you do if somebody is
talking here in front?
We should listen attentively ma’am.
Bravo!
What about if we have group activities?

We should cooperate and participate

Good! ma’am.
So, do we have an agreement now?

Yes ma’am.
B. Activating Prior Knowledge

Do you wonder why the sun rises in the

morning and sets in the evening?
What do you think causes this to happen
every day?

Class, I have here word strips and

definition strips.
All you have to do is to read the definition
and paste the word strip to its correct definition.

Definitions on the Board / Paper

Rotation ➡ the act of turning or spinning

around.
Counterclockwise ➡ turning to the left,
opposite the direction of a clock.
Axis ➡ an imaginary line that an object spins
around.

I want you to turn around. What

happened?

That is called rotation. We turned around.

I want you to turn to the left.

That is called counterclockwise.
Counterclockwise is turning to the left, opposite
to the direction of a clock.
I have a clock here.
 Show the direction of a clock.
(Student move the clock hand to the right)
What do we call the direction of a clock?
The direction of a clock is called clockwise.
Exactly! Now, show the opposite
direction.
(Student move the hand to the left)
What do we call that direction?
That direction is called counterclockwise.
Excellent! What do we call the imaginary
line that an object rotates around?
We call that imaginary line that an object
rotates around an axis.

C. 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 and explain how
earth’s rotation cause day and night.

Can I expect that from you all?

Yes ma’am.

D. 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
globe. (Student spins the globe while others
observe.)

As the Earth spins, what do you notice

about its motion? Which direction is the Earth
moving- clockwise or counterclockwise? The Earth is moving in a counterclockwise
direction.

As the Earth continues to spin, what do

you notice happens to the part facing the Sun? The part of the Earth facing the Sun
becomes bright.

Is the light always staying in one place,

or is it moving as the Earth spins? The light is moving as the Earth spins.

When it is bright, is it day or night? When it is bright, it is daytime.

Does the whole earth experience

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

What happens to the part of the Earth

that is not facing the Sun? The part not facing the sun becomes dark.

While one place is having daytime, what

is happening to the other side of the Earth? While one place is having daytime, the
other side is having nighttime.

The Earth is spinning around an

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

How long do you think it takes for the

Earth to spin once around its axis? It takes 24 hours 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.

Why do you think it is important that the

Earth rotates? The Earth needs to rotate so we can have
a day and night and so living things can rest and
stay alive.
 How long does it take for the earth to It takes 24 hours for the earth to complete
complete one full rotation on its axis? 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.

E. Generalization

Game: Write and raise!

I will group the class into three groups. Rules
Each group will receive one board and one  Write your answer only after the
chalk. I will read a question related to our teacher reads the question.
lesson on Earth’s rotation.  No shouting of answers.
You will be given 15 seconds to think  No peeking at other groups’ boards.
and write your answer.  Raise the board only when the
When the time is up, I will say RAISE, teacher says RAISE.
and all groups will raise their boards at the
same time. Each correct answer will earn one
point.

I want you to strictly follow our rules. Do Yes ma’am.
