ANALYSIS

" I think you know what's our topic today based "Yes Teacher"
on our activity, right?"

" So, what are these?" “ It is all about the planet in the solar
system Teacher”
" Very good"

" What is your prior knowledge about solar “ Solar system is where we can see the
system?" planets, sun, asteroid, moon and comets."

" Very good"

" What planet is familiar to you? " " Our planet teacher, because we live here
and this is the only planet that has a
people"

" For you what is the most beautiful planet?

Why?" " The Earth teacher, because it's our own
planet"
“Very good.
ABSTRACTION

" Now let's proceed to our topic today. Are you Yes teacher
ready students?"

" The Solar System is a space in which there is

the Sun and planets revolve around it due to a
force known as gravity. The Earth, the other
planets, stars, asteroids, and comets that exist
in this space make up the Solar System.

Sun

The Sun is the gigantic star at the center of our

Solar System. It’s responsible for providing the
energy that makes life possible on Earth. With
its enormous gravitational pull, it keeps all the
planets, moons, and space debris in orbit. The
Sun is mostly made of hydrogen and helium,
constantly undergoing nuclear reactions that
create heat and light.

"Who can recite the 8 planets?"

(Students raising their hands)
"Yes, (name)"
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune "
" Very good (name), let's clap our hands"
(Clapping)

"Who can tell me about our first planet that is

Mercury?" Students raising their hands)

" The planet that is nearest to the sun and

" Yes, very good!" no atmosphere, teacher "

Mercury (THE SMALLEST)

 is the smallest planet in our solar

system
 is a rocky planet with an iron core, rocky
mantle, and crust.
 has extreme temperatures
 has the thinnest atmosphere of any
 planet
 has no moons or rings
 is the fastest planet, orbiting the sun
every 88 Earth days.
 named after the swiftest of the ancient
Roman gods.

What can you say about the 2nd planet (name)"

Teacher the 2nd planet is the hottest
" Very good!" among the 8 planets"

Venus (THE HOTTEST)

 is the hottest planet in our solar system

 has a thick atmosphere that traps heat,
making it very hot.
 It takes 243 Earth days to complete one
rotation.
 it orbits the sun in 225 Earth days
 has an active surface
 has no moons
 The name Venus comes from Roman
mythology

"How about the third planet? Who wants to

share their knowledge about our third planet?"

" Very good " " The third planet teacher is our planet, the
Earth, Earth was the only one can form
life."

Earth (OUR HOME)

 is a rocky planet with a solid and

dynamic surface.
 Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen,
21% oxygen, and 1% other gases
 70% of Earth's surface is covered by
oceans
 rotates on its axis every 24 hours, which
creates day and night
 Earth orbits the Sun, taking about
365.25 days to complete one revolution
 has one moon
 the only planet in our solar system with
active plate tectonic
 the only planet in our solar system
 known to support life

"Who can tell me what is the fourth planet?"

" Very good"

"What you know about Mars?"

" Teacher, the fourth planet is Mars"

Mars (THE RED PLANET)

" Mars orbits in 3 times a day, and is so
 half the size of Earth and the second close to the planet's surface that in some
smallest planet locations on Mars it cannot always be
 known as the Red Planet seen."
 the average temperature on Mars is -
85°F
 has a thin atmosphere made up of
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon

Neptune (THE FARTHEST) planet from the Sun. It is the fourth-largest
planet in the Solar System by diameter, the
 the most distant major planet third-most-massive planet, and the densest
 made of ice, rock, hydrogen, helium, giant planet. "
water, ammonia, and methane
 has the fastest winds
  has 16 known moons
 has six rings,
 was discovered in 1846 based on
mathematical calculations of its
predicted

"This is the planets in the solar system. Is there

any questions regarding to may lesson
students?"

" So, I prepared some questions regarding to

my lesson, let see if you listen to me"

" Don't answer in chorus, okay? just raise your

hand if you want to answer "
"None, Teacher"

It's the smallest planet in our solar system.

It's the coldest planet in our solar system.
It's the hottest planet in our solar system.
It's often called the "Red Planet".
It's the largest planet in our solar system.
It's the only known planet that supports life. Okay teacher.

“So why do you think it is important we know Venus
about solar system? Mars
Jupiter
“Anyone?” Earth
Saturn
Neptune

“To be aware what is planets and what

happens in every planet”
Other answers?
"Understanding the planets and small
bodies of our solar system helps answer
“Very well said, we need to be aware what is questions about its formation, how it
happening on our planets especially to our reached its current diverse state, how life
Earth." evolved on Earth and possibly elsewhere,
and what characteristics of the solar
system lead to the origins of life."
