NAME: VENANCIO, FRANZ A.

YEAR & SECTION: BSEd 3B (Science Major)

I. Objectives
a. Explain the eclipse and its two kinds (Solar and Lunar).
b. Share an understanding on the difference between solar and lunar eclipse.
c. Create a model to illustrate the position of Sun, Moon, and Earth during Solar and
Lunar eclipse.

II. Subject matter

Topic: Explain how solar and lunar eclipses occur
Reference: Science 7 textbook (S7ES-IVj-11)
Materials: textbook, flashlight, cardboard, wire

III. Procedure

A. Preliminary Activities

a. Greetings
b. Prayers
c. Checking of attendance
d. Review of the past lesson

B. Motivation

The teachers will get a flashlight and Put an object above the table. Then, the teacher pointed
the flashlight on the object.

The teacher will ask for students observation about the demonstration.

1. What did you notice on the object? Does it has a shadow?

2. How does the shadow come out?

C. Activity

1. Divide the class into groups of three or four. Each group will provide the materials to
make their own model of the Sun-Moon-Earth system.
2. Take one cardboard tube and make a series of small (2-cm deep), even, vertical cuts
around the circumference of each end. Bend the cut pieces out at each end and then
stand the tube upright. The cut edges should fan out like a flower

3. Using adhesive tape, fasten one end of the cardboard tube to the cardboard strip to create
the base of the model. The tube should be at least 30 cm from one end of the cardboard
strip. Attach the larger ball to the top of the tube. This ball represents the Earth. Insert
one end of the wire into the top of Earth so that the wire is vertical. Measure approximately
a finger’s length along the wire and bend the wire here at a right angle, creating a
horizontal arm.
4. About halfway between the Earth and the far end of the cardboard strip, measure a
finger’s length along the wire and bend it again. This time bend it downwards at a right
angle, towards the cardboard base. Insert the other end of the wire into the “Moon”. The
Moon’s equator should be at the same height as the Earth’s equator.
5. Balance the torch on a stack of books or magazines at the opposite end of the cardboard
strip from the “Earth”. Make sure the height is correct: the middle of the torch beam
should hit Earth’s equator. If the beam is too diffuse, attach the second cardboard tube
to the end of the torch to direct the light. Ensure that the beam directly hits the nearest
half of the Earth and the moon. If the beam is not bright enough, move the stack of books
Close.

Students demonstrate their work

Solar eclipse: Stand facing the torch and swing the wire around until the moon casts a
shadow on the Earth; if necessary, dim the lights in the room. The Moon is now positioned
between the Earth and the Sun and is blocking the “sunshine” for some people on Earth. Point
out that only people directly in the shadow will see a complete eclipse of the Sun. You can show
how the shadow moves by slowly rotating the wire.

Lunar eclipse: Stand facing the torch and swing the wire so that the Moon is behind the
Earth. No light should be hitting the Moon: the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting
a shadow over the entire Moon. Explain that unlike during the solar eclipse, The entire “night”
side of Earth can see the lunar eclipse.

D. Analysis

(The teacher will give an activity). Arrange the jumbled letters to find the correct answer for
each description.

1. The ____ (RUMB) is the dark center portion of a shadow.

2. The lighter outer part of a shadow is called as ________(ENPUBARM).
3. An eclipse of the moon is also known as _____ _______ (SEPCILE UNRAL).
4. During a total lunar eclipse, the_____(HARET) blocks the Sun’s light from reaching the
moon.
