Presentation of Objectives

But, before we discuss our topic, lets

have first our learning objectives:
Who can read?

(Student will read)

Meteoroid A small fragment of

a comet or asteroid that orbits the

Unlocking of difficulties

(kindly read the following

terminologies)

EXPLORE
To start with our topic, we will be
having first an activity.
I will group you into four groups, each
group must have a leader and presenters.
Group leader kindly approach me for the
materials.
The activity is very easy because you are
just going to arrange the chronological
order of the meteorite, meteor and
asteroid when they enter the earths
atmosphere.

Yes, sir
(the students will answer the activity
sheet)

The presenter will present their output

The activity is interesting and enjoyable

in such a way that we should think
appropriate answers to the given word

Comet- is a dusty chunk of ice that

partially vaporizes as it passes near the
sun
(The students will answer)

Meteors are what see in the sky or the

so called shooting star

(The students will answer the question)

Arrange the following words:
meteoroid, meteorite and meteor before
(The students will answer the question)
and after entering the earths atmosphere
Then you are going to write the answers
(The students will answer the question)
on the manila paper that I gave. After that
you the presenter will explain to the class
why they arrive that answers.
I will give 7 minutes to the activity then
you are going to be graded according to
the rubrics that I made.
Are you ready class?

(The students will do the activity)

So I think lets come now to the

presentation of each group.

How did you find the activity?

What is comet?

Who can give an examples of comets?

What is meteor on your words?

How does meteors form?

What is asteroid?
How does asteroid form?

Elaborate
Ok, thank you for your wonderful answers
Since you already know the concept
behind comets, asteroids and meteors, I
will give an activity, same grouping.
I will give you manila paper and pentel
pen then you are going to put the
importance of the comets, asteroids and
meteors
Each group will explain that importance to
the class.
I will give you 5 minutes to the activity

Evaluation
Get sheet of paper, then answer the
following questions.
For 3 points define the following
1. Comets
2.Asteroids

(The students will answer the

evaluation)

3. meteors
For 7 points, give the importance
Enrichment
Please has an advance reading about our
