Lesson 48 C2-A: The Sun “the nearest STAR”

Let us study the Sun What can you say about our Sun? Yes – it is the brightest, hottest, biggest object beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Wow – its really awesome. God is so powerful!!! Bright Powerful Wow!!! BIG Hot

Sun’s Temperature Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. The temperature on the surface of the sun is 6000 degrees Celsius. Not all of the sun’s radiation reaches the Earth. God designed something to repel this radiation. SUN is really HOT

Sun Made up of very hot flaming gasses. This hot gasses emit heat and light energy. This energy is known as solar radiation. This heat and light reach our planet “the earth”.

Let us study our solar system Solar system is made up of the sun and all the bodies that move around it. Planets are bodies smaller than the sun. There are 9 planets Nearest to the sun: Mercury Farthest planet: Neptune (Pluto is not a true planet) Biggest planet: Jupiter Planets categorized into two: 1)Terrestrial: made up of iron and rocks 2)Gaseous : made up of gasses

C2-B Assignment: Research at the library/internet regarding each planets moon and its corresponding names.

Lesson 48 C2-C: Asteroids, Meteoroids and Comets

Asteroids Also called planetoids because they look like planets. Some are made up of rocks and metals. Most of them can be found in the asteroid belt found between Mars and Jupiter

Meteoroids When asteroids collide its not only atmospheric dust that is formed but also small chunks of rocks or iron and leave the asteroid belt Some are of this meteoroids enters Earths atmosphere. When this happen they are called meteors. When it landed the Earth it is called meteorite.

Comets  Bodies that move around the sun  Also called dirty snowball because it consists of frozen gases, ice and dust.

C2-C1 Media Presentation: Watch the Media Presentation entitled “Lesson 48 Asteroid impact on Earth” Found in Generic/Quality/Department/Primary/Grade 3/Subject/Science/Lesson Plan Objective: At the end of the lesson the pupils should be able to: -Realize how good God is that our planet is not struck by an asteroid

Lesson 48 C2-C1 Assignment: I.Write a reflection regarding the clip entitled “Asteroid impact on Earth”

C2 Assignment: Answer Page of Exploring and Protecting our World Objective: At the end of the lesson the pupils should be able to: -Suns location in relation to other bodies in the solar system -Identify the members of the solar system

C2-C Assignment: Research at the library regarding comets
