Subject Teacher:
Jomar A. Bierzo
Schedule:
I. Objectives:
A. Content Standard
B. Performance Standard
C. Learning Competency
II. Content:
III. Learning Resources
A. Reference/s:
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
a) describe the various characteristics of Earth to support life;
b) create a graphic organizer about the various unique characteristics of the
Earth; and
c) appraise the importance of the various characteristics of the Earth in
supporting life.
The learners demonstrate understanding of:
1. the formation of the universe and the solar system;
2. the subsystems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) that
make up the Earth; and
3. the Earth’s internal structure.
The learners should be able to conduct a survey to assess the possible
geologic/hydrometeorological hazards that your community may experience.
The learners should be able to:
1. recognize the uniqueness of Earth, being the only planet in the solar system
with properties necessary to support life; and
2. explain that the Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose boundaries
matter and energy flow.

Discussion
Oral recitation
The teacher will introduce the Earth and Life Science as an essential branch of
science.
ACTIVITY: GUESS ME
The students will play a game (charades) using pictures which will be presented by
the teacher.
The teacher will present the relevance of the topic and its objectives.
Have a drill on the various theories/hypotheses that explains the origin of the universe
and the solar system. Discuss the various characteristics of the Earth in supporting
life.
ACTIVITY: MATCH ME
 The learners will give a matchmaking activity to the students to formatively
assess their knowledge about the various hypotheses and theories about the
origin of the universe and the solar system.
Values integration: (Self-worth and uniqueness)
Just like the Earth which contains unique characteristics that is not present in other
planets, the learners also possess unique capabilities which can identify their
individuality. The teacher will let the students share their unique capabilities and
talents that can help improve the society and the Earth.
E. Finding practical
application of concepts
and skills in daily living
F. Making generalizations
and abstractions about
the lesson
G. Evaluating learning
H. Additional activities
The teacher will let the learners reflect on the importance of the Earth being it the
only planet that can support life through a reflection paper created by them.
The teacher will be guided by a rubric for scoring.
The teacher will let the students create a graphic organizer containing the information
about the different unique characteristics of Earth in supporting life. The teacher will
conduct an oral recitation to generalize and summarize the learners’ understanding
of with the topic.
I.
Directions: Read each item carefully. Use a separate sheet for your answers.
Write only the letter of the correct answer for each test item.
1. Which of the following is the densest planet in the solar system?

b) Mars
c) Mercury
d) Venus
2. Which of the following is the largest among the terrestrial planets?
a) Earth
b) Mars
c) Mercury
d) Venus
3. Which of the following is TRUE about the characteristics of Earth?
a) If Earth was too close to the Sun, water would vaporize and be useless to
life.
b) It traps heat, making Earth a comfortable temperature and the oxygen
within our atmosphere is essential for life.
c) Plate Tectonics is vital for a world to host life- that is, planet whose shell
is broken up into plates that constantly move around.
d) All of the choices.
4. Which of the following is TRUE about the presence of magnetosphere as one
of the characteristics of earth?
a) Earth is neither too close nor too far from the sun.
b) If too much heat were retained, a run-away global warming would occur.
c) The magnetic field of the planet renders particles from the Sun less
harmful.
d) None of the choices.
5. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Earth?
a) The presence of magnet
b) Right distance from the sun
c) The presence of liquid water
d) The presence of an atmosphere
Follow-up:
 Create an essay showing their appreciation to the Earth.
The teacher will be guided by a rubric for scoring.
