Present a picture of the Star of Bethlehem, and then let the students discuss between themselves what kind of
celestial body it is.
C. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills
#1 Presenting a short video regarding comets and asteroids.
Comets v. Asteroid
Comets are celestial objects that are about 1-10 km in diameter and travel in elliptical orbits. They are made up
of ice, dust, and various gases and are irregular in shape. They take roughly about 75-100,000 years to orbit
around the sun.
Asteroids are celestial bodies that orbit around the sun. they have rounder orbits and are much closer than
comets. Asteroids are made up of silicates, rocks, or metals. They have an orbital period of around 1-100
years.
The teacher will discuss the different parts of a comet:
Nucleus
Tail
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills
#2
Coma
Question: From what part is does the name comet come from?
Compare and Contrast: “You go this way, and I go that way”
Complete the table by placing the different characteristics of comets and asteroids in their proper column and
row.

G. Making generalizations and abstractions about the
lesson Probing: The teacher will ask a series of questions regarding the topic discussed. The complexity of the
questions will gradually increase so as to stimulate higher-order thinking from the students. The questions are
as follows along with the expected answers:
Questions Expected Answer

Where are asteroids located? Asteroid Belt
How about comets? Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud
Which do you think will take longer

Then what do we call a comet that
Long-period Comet
comes from the Oort Cloud?
How about a comet that came from
Short-period Comet
the Kuiper Belt?
Between a comet and an asteroid,
Asteroids
which is closer to the earth?
Based on your previous answer,
which is most likely to collide with Asteroids
the earth?
Answer the following questions: (2pts each)
1. What is the main composition of comets?
2. Between a comet and an asteroid, which is more likely to collide with the Earth?
H. Evaluating learning
3. How many years does it take for a comet to complete a revolution?
4. What is the usual shape of comets and asteroids?
5. What part of the comet is usually seen as a long streak of light that points away from the sun?
I. Additional activities for application or remediation Read about meteor showers.
