Guided Question: After watching the video, the students will share what they have watched based on their prior knowledge of the given topic and the given descriptions from the video played in class.
TASK 2 KEY CONCEPTS
There are eight planets in the Solar System. The Sun is a star. The Moon is a satellite. Earth is a planet.
TASK 3 DISCUSSION
Discuss the Solar System through presenting the flash cards and the Solar System chart.
TASK 4 BOOK EXERCISES
Do pages 6-8 in the book.
TASK 5 FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY
Watch a video on the Solar System for further understanding and information.
TASK 6 WRAPPING UP
Ask the students to demonstrate the knowledge they have gained . Let them describe the Solar System and classify the elements found in it.
TASK 7 ASSESSMENT
Distribute the worksheets on the Solar System.

Comic Strip about the Eight Planets
I created another comic strip about the eight planets in the Solar System.

TASK 7
MY MODEL OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
I prepared this model to present in class to have a total physical response activity on the Solar System by placing them in the styrofoam in their proper order. Each planet model can be used to visualize its special features. This teaching material can also be used in the succeeding academic years. Our school helps me to produce the needed materials. I would like to give thanks to the teachers who always supervise me and provide teaching materials for creating teaching devices. They also spend their own money for producing materials to make the lessons effective and achievable. All the bilingual teachers in our school are quite resourceful and always seek ways to have an innovative presentation of their daily lesson.

My Short Comic Strip about the Solar System
I created my own comic strip by using ZimmerTwins site. You can see the clip of it below by using the slideshow. This technique is quite innovative in teaching Science course this generation. This also catches the attention of the students to be more interested in the class discussion.

CLASS PERIOD II
TASK 1 PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY
Motivation: The students will watch a video on the eight planets in the Solar System.
Guided Question: Ask students to name the eight planets in the Solar System.
TASK 2 KEY CONCEPTS
The eight planets in the Solar System are the following:
1. Mercury (It is the closest and the first planet.)
2. Venus (Its is the second and the hottest planet.)
3. Earth (It is the third and the planet we live on. It is called "the Blue Planet.")
4. Mars (It is the fourth and called "the Red Planet.")
5. Jupiter (It is the fifth and the biggest planet.)
6. Saturn (It is the sixth planet and has got rings.)
7. Uranus (It is the biggest and the coldest planet.)
8. Neptune (It is the eight and the furthest planet.)
TASK 3 DISCUSSION
Present the model of the Solar System by enumerating them in order and describing their special features.
TASK 4 BOOK EXERCISES
Do pages 10 to 11.
TASK 5 FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES
A. Let the students place the planets in the Solar System model in order and identify the names of them and give their special characteristics.
B. Let the students play the Solar System memory game by using the prepared materials.
TASK 6 WRAPPING UP
The students will pick out some cards that have the pictures of the planets and describe their special characteristics. Then, the rest of the class will guess what planets are being described by the representatives in class.
TASK 7 ASSESSMENT
Distribute worksheets about the eight planets and let them paste in their Science notebooks in order. Let them write the ordinal numbers of each planet and also writes down its description.
