Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name; Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread; and
forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against
us; and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

ACTIVITY 1: Label the Layers of the Atmosphere
Directions: Label the layers of the atmosphere. After you finish the
activity, you will be presenting your output in front.
discuss the layers of
Earth’s atmosphere;
recognize
the
importance of each
layers of Earth’s
atmosphere with
its specifications
and;
create a model the
shows the different
layers
of
the
atmosphere and its
characteristics.
Atmosphere is the outer
layer that surrounds the
earth it is formed by gases
that protect the planet from
outer space.
Is the layer closer to the surface of
the
earth
and
it
measures
approximately 0 km to 10 km high.
Clouds are found in the troposphere
like weather phenomena like wind,
rain, and even snow occur here as
well.
“Tropos” means change. That the
weather is constantly changing.
“Strat” means layer.
Extends to an altitude of 10 km to
50 km above sea level.
Radiosonde is a small, expendable
instrument package (weighs 60 to
80 grams) that is suspended below
a large balloon inflated with
hydrogen or helium gas.
Ozone layer is found in
stratosphere, and it’s very
important because it protects our
planet from harmful UV sunlight
rays.
Ozone layer is getting thinner
and thinner as air pollution rises.
“Meso” means middle.
Extends to an altitude of 50 to
85 km above sea level.
The mesosphere is the coldest
layer of the atmosphere.
Temperatures can drop down to
0
-90 C below zero.
Shooting stars occur in the
mesosphere.
These are meteors that travel
through space as soon as they hit
atmosphere.
“Thermo” means heat.
The thermosphere extends to
an altitude of 85 to 500 km
above the sea level.
This layer is the warmest of
all five layers.
A layer in the thermosphere,
called ionosphere, is made of gas
particles charged by solar energy.
The natural phenomena like the
northern and southern lights occur
in the thermosphere. (aurora
borealis).
“Exo” means outside.
The exosphere is the most
distant layer from the earth’s
surface extends to an altitude of
approximately 500 to 10,000 km
above the sea level.
Air in the exosphere is very
thin, there’s nothing but
hydrogen and helium there.
Satellites orbit the earth
within the exosphere.
This is the lowest part of the atmosphere - the part
we live in. It contains most of our weather - clouds,
rain, snow.
It contains much of the ozone in the
atmosphere.
0
-90 C below
Temperatures can drop down to
zero, shooting stars are located in mesosphere
which is extremely beautiful when you see it in
the sky.
Here in the layers of thermosphere there is a
ionosphere that have free electrons that has
propagation of radio waves.
Satellite found in the exosphere
which there is low density that the
molecules and atoms never collide.
Directions: Create a simple model
about the layers of the atmosphere
and plot their characteristics.
Directions: Fill the table with necessary data. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper. Follow the given example
below.
Guide Questions:
1. How do the layers of the atmosphere differ from each other?
2. How were the layers of the atmosphere determined?
Make a poster about the
layers of the atmosphere.
