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. For every recitation you have, I’ll be giving you a reward and additional points. During the activity, mind your own work and participate. Raise your hand before speaking or leaving your seat. Listen to the teacher when she/he speaks. Be respectful to your classmates and your teacher. ONION CAKE EARTH BAMBOO SHOOT CABBAGE SOIL SKIN TREE TRUNK PANCAKES WATERMELON 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.
