direction or from _______ to ______.
8. One complete rotation of the earth is
equivalent to 24 _______.
Directions: Fill in the blank. The answer will be
found in the cross word puzzle posted on the
board.
D. Presentation
1. The earth rotates on its axis.
2. The earth tilted on its axis 23.5 degrees.
3. The rotation of the earth causes day and
night.
4. It is nighttime in the places where the
light of the sun does not fall.
5. The sun is the source of light on earth.
6. Places that receive the sunlight are
experiencing daytime.
7. The earth moves in a counterclockwise
direction or from west to east.
8. One complete rotation of the earth is
equivalent to 24 hours.
For you to have a better understanding to our
lesson. I prepared a video presentation about
“what causes day and night?” But first, what are
the guidelines in viewing a video presentation?
1. Be quiet and stay on your seat while

(The pupils attentively watching the video
presentation.)
E. Discussion
Follow up questions about the video clip
presentation:
1. What is the video all about?
The video is all about the rotation of the earth
sir.
2. What are the girl and boy doing in the
first part of the video?
3. Why do they need to wake up when it’s
daylight?
4. What do you call to the earth’s
representation?
The girl and boy are sleeping at the first part of
the video.
They need to wake up during daylight to go to
school and to play in the playground.
The earth‘s representation called globe.
5. What is an axis?
Axis is an imaginary line that runs through the
pole of the earth.
6. What do you call to the movement of the
earth on its axis?
The movement of the earth on its axis is called
rotation.
7. How long does it take for the earth to
make one complete rotation?
8. What is the direction of the earth’s
rotation?
9. What causes day and night?
The earth makes one complete rotation within 24
hours or 1day.
The direction of earth’s rotation
counterclockwise or from west to east.
is
The rotation of the earth on its axis causes day
and night.
F. Integration
We have here a globe and a flashlight. We need
three volunteers to illustrate to us the following:
1. Show the correct direction on how the
earth rotates on its axis.
2. Explain what causes day and night.
3. What makes day?
4. What makes night?
The direction of the earth rotates in a
counterclockwise direction or from west to east.
We have day and night because of its rotation.
When the sunlight/flashlight
earth/globe, it’s daytime.
strike
the
The opposite part of the earth/globe does not
strike by the sunlight/flashlight experiencing
nighttime.
We need another three volunteers to illustrate to
us the following:
1. Show us that the Philippines is now
experiencing daytime.
2. When the Philippines experiencing night
time?
(The three volunteers showing that the earth is in
the daytime and in the nighttime.)
Refer to the globe the Philippines is in the
nighttime.
What will we do during nighttime?
To sleep and rest sir.
What is the right amount of sleeping hours
do children need in order to be healthy?
The right amount of sleeping hours that children
need in order to be healthy is 8 to 10 hours.
It is good to stay awake late at night?
It’s not good sir.
Why?
Because stay awake late at night will damage our
health, acquiring diseases.
Why is sleeping in the right number of hours
important?
For us to be healthy and recharge our body, so
that we have full energy on the next day.
You can just imagine when the earth does
not rotate.
We are not having day and night sir.
What if the Philippines experiencing only
sunlight and does not having darkness?
What if the Philippines experiencing only
darkness and does not having sunlight?
Only the other side of the earth experiencing
sunlight and the other side is forever darkness.
Maybe we do not fall asleep sir. Our temperature
become hotter and hotter.
Maybe we fall asleep most of our entire life, or
there is no inhabitant on it. It’s too cold.
So, we are thankful because God allowed the
earth to rotate. For us to experience daytime and
nighttime.
G. Generalization
What do you call to the movement of the earth
on its axis?
