D. Presentation of the lesson
Based on the game that we played, what do you
think will be our lesson for today?
I think, our lesson for today is about
the rotation and revolution of the
Earth.
Very Good! It is all about the two motions of the
earth, which is the rotation and revolution of the
Earth.
If the Earth is not revolving around the sun, how do
you imagine the world to be?
Ma’am, I think it would be hard to live
on our planet.
Right! It would be hard to live on our planet or
worst, the lives of living things might not become
possible if that happens. How do I say so? Let us
watch the video entitled the Rotation and
Revolution of Earth - Movements of the Earth Earth's Revolution & Rotation to find out the
answer.
(The teacher will present the video entitled
“Rotation and Revolution of Earth - Movements of
the Earth - Earth's Revolution & Rotation”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqkQv617bcw)
E. Lesson Proper
Children, what is the video all about?
Yes, Ma’am.
(The students will watch the video and
taking a note at the same time.)
The video is all about the motion of
the earth.
Is the earth moving?
Yes, the earth is moving.
How does it move?
It moves in two ways; it spins in itself
and it spins around the sun.
3
While watching the video, take some notes because
I will ask you questions about it. Is that clear?

What is rotation?
Rotation is when the earth spins on its
axis.
How about the revolution?
Revolution is when the earth rotates
around the sun.
Very good!
(The teacher will present the lesson with the use of
a PowerPoint Presentation and some objects.)
Earth has two types of motions namely, rotation
and revolution.
Rotation is the movement of the earth on its axis.
Imagine a line passing through its center of mass,
this imaginary line is called the axis.
Did you ever see top spinning?
Yes, Ma’am! I play it.
Our planet spins around on this invisible line just
like a top.
The circular movement of an object spinning around
on its axis is called “the rotation”.
Due to this rotational quality of the earth, we
witness day and night.
The earth receives light from the sun, due to the
spherical shape of the earth only half of it gets light
from the sun at a time.
The portion facing the sun experiencing the day,
while the other half away from the sun experiences
night.
That is right, the other side of the world is having
night. When we have night, they are having a day.
The other side of the world is
experiencing night.

What is happening on the other side of the world
when we have a day?

The earth takes about 24 hours to complete one
rotation around its axis to make a single day.
If the rotation of the earth makes a day, then what
makes a year?
The revolution of the earth makes a
year.
Yes, it is the revolution. You see, although the earth
is rotating on its axis, at the same time, it also
revolves in orbits around the sun which is called
revolution.
The earth is always moving around the sun. The sun
is the center of the solar system. Where the earth
and all other planets orbited, we called this a fixed
orbit, it always stays the same.
And one full orbit around the sun is one revolution.
The earth takes about 365 days and 6 hours to
complete a revolution that makes up a whole year.
There is more to learn about the earth’s rotation
and revolution. We say that the earth rotates on its
axis, the axis is an imaginary line that goes through
the middle of the earth. It helps us to understand
how the earth spins.
The axis is not straight up and down. The earth tilts
a little as it spins, this tilting is very important. It is
the reason we have seasons.
At a particular time, the northern hemisphere is
leaning towards the sun while the southern is
leaning away. And at other times, the southern
hemisphere tilts toward the sun, whereas the
northern hemisphere leans away. And this is why
we have different seasons and why the seasons are
5
Due to this angle, the solar energy reaching every
part of our planet is not constant but varies during
the year.

opposite in the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres.
What do you think is the season on the part of the
earth that leaning towards the sun?
The part of the earth that is leaning
towards the sun is having a summer.
How about the other part that is leaning away from
the sun?
That part is experiencing the cold
season.
Yes, very good! The part of the earth leaning
towards the sun causes summer in that region and
the days are long. While the part leaning away
experiencing cold climate with shorter days.
F. Application
Children, I have here flashcards with different text
or image that talks about the rotation or revolution
of the earth. All you need to do is to identify if the
flashcard is referring to rotation or revolution.
(The students will listen to the
instruction attentively.)
If it refers to rotation, close your right arm and
rotate it, like this (the teacher will demonstrate how
to do it).
Do you understand?
Yes, Ma’am,
(The teacher will show the flashcards and let
students answer.)
(The students will actively participate
in the activity.)

However, if it refers to revolution, you are going to
close your two hands while the left hand will still in
the middle and the other hand will revolve around
it, just like this (the teacher will demonstrate how to
do it).

G. Generalization
What are the two (2) motions of the earth?
(Children will do the yahoo clap.)
The rotation and revolution are the
two motions of the earth.
What is the difference between rotation and
revolution?
Rotation refers to the spinning motion
of the earth its axis. However,
revolution refers to the earth’s orbital
motion around the sun. The rotation
has a shorter time to complete while
the revolution takes a longer time.
How long does it take one complete rotation of the
earth?
One rotation of the earth takes 24
hours or simply a day to complete.
What are the effects of rotation?
Due to the rotation of the earth, we
are experiencing daytime and
nighttime.
How long will it take to complete one revolution?
One revolution takes 365 days or
simply a year to complete.
What are the effects of revolution?
Due to the revolution, we are
experiencing seasons.
Why do we have seasons?
The distance between the earth and
the sun changes due to revolution.
This change of distance also causes a
change in seasons.
What will happen if the earth stops rotating?
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 cold all the time. Life
would not have been possible in such
extreme conditions.

Very good! Children, give yourselves a yahoo clap.

What is the importance of the two motions of the
earth?
As the Earth rotates and revolves,
each area of its surface gets a turn to
face and be warmed by the sun. That
is important because sunlight gives us
life.
Very Good! Give yourself an “Ang galing clap”.
(The students will do the “Ang galing
clap”.)
