SUBMITTED TO:
I. Objective To recognize the uniqueness of Earth, being the only planet in the solar system with
properties necessary to support life.
III. Procedures
A. Activity
(Poster Making)
1. Students will be grouped into 5 members.
2. Each group will choose a leader, secretary, reporter, and toastmaster. They will also make a
group jingle.
3. Poster Making: Let the students draw on the Manila paper any concept depicting the Earth
as the only Habitable Planet.
4. Students will only be given 5 minutes to prepare.
5. They must present the output in 3 minutes.
B. Analysis
What did you feel while doing the activity?
- How did you illustrate the Earth’s uniqueness in your poster?
- What makes the Earth unique from the other planets in our Solar System?
- Will Earth be able to sustain life if it remained in its position and the sun was a massive star?
Explain your answers.
C. Abstraction
The Solar System is composed of the sun and the eight planets revolving around it. Among
those eight planets, only one can support life, which is the Earth. But how come Earth can
support life while the other planets cannot? There are two requirements for a planet to become
habitable. First, the star should survive long enough for its planet to develop life. Second, the
planet should exist in a region where water could remain liquid. A planet with the right
temperature enables water to remain in its liquid form, a necessary ingredient of life. Scientist
also believe that Carbon and its unique properties are the basis of all life. Carbon has four
valence atoms, which enables it to easily bond with other carbon atoms and create long
complex molecules and polymers.
D. Application
Let the students watch a short video on Climate Change and ask them on how to save the
Earth, for it to sustain life. “Since the Earth is our home, what do you think would be your
contribution to help protect and take care of it?”
IV. Evaluation
Answer the following briefly. (1 whole sheet of paper)
1. What are the two major requirements for a planet to become habitable?
2. What are the different unique characteristics of the Earth?
3. How did Miller-Urey conduct the experiment that replicated the conditions of early Earth?
V. Assignment
A. Make a “Fast facts” card that will show basic information of the members of the Solar
System.
B. Watch and study the video about the story of Earth.
