A. Review
Good morning class! Good morning Sir Art!

What have we discussed last time? We discussed about the members of the
solar system.

What is a solar system? It is the sun, planets and all other heavenly
bodies orbiting our sun.

Will you enumerate the members of our The members of our solar system are the
solar system? sun, eight planets, dwarf planets, asteroid,
meteor, comets

I think you are now ready to our new

lesson for today.

2. Lesson Proper

A. Motivation
I have here a two pictures of heavenly
bodies.

What can you see in these picture? The sun and the planet Earth.

Will you describe the sun based from the Hot ball of heavenly body.
picture you saw?

How about the Earth? Ball of rock and ocean.

B. Presentation of the Lesson

Today we will be dealing with sun.

C. Unlocking of Difficulties
Before we formally start our new lesson for
today, let us first unlock words that we
might surely encounter during our
discussion.

I have here a planetary orbit, each orbit

consists of a word.
You will pick a word from the orbit and
place to its correct meaning.

Is it clear? Yes sir.

star Sunspot
layer a. dark patch on the sun.

Sun
b. a star where planet orbits.

a. dark patch on the sun.

Star
b. a star where planet orbits. c. mass of gas in space.

Corona
c. mass of gas in space.
d. flame form at the surface of the sun.
d. flame form at the surface of the sun.
Layer
e. level or parts.
e. level or parts.
 D. Development of the Lesson
Do you think sun is a star? Yes sir.

What makes you think that sun is a star? Because just like star, sun is a ball of
hydrogen and helium gas that emits light
and heat.
This time, I will show you a videoclip about
our sun as a star.

(Teacher will show the videoclip)

From the video you have watched, is our

sun the largest star? No sir.

What is the largest known star? VY Canis Majoris

How do you describe the size of our sun as

compared to other star? Our sun is a medium or average-sized star.

Let’s study this picture.

What can you see in the picture? The layers of the sun.

Will you enumerate the layers of the sun? The photosphere, convection zone, radiation
zone and the core.

Will you describe the photosphere? It is the surface and outermost layer of the
sun with a temperature of 6,600o C. This is
where we can see sunspots and corona.

What is a corona? It is a solar flare formed at the surface of the

sun.

How a sunspot form? When a sudden eruption in the photosphere

happens known as corona, underneath form
a dark, and cooler space known as sunspot.

Another layer of the sun is the convection Convection zone is the second outer-most
zone. Will you describe this layer? layer of the sun which energy is transported
outward mainly by convection currents.
What is the importance of this layer?
The next layer is the radiation zone.
How do you describe this layer?
Why living things on earth doesn’t affect
much by the radiation of the sun?
The last layer of the sun is the core.
How do you describe this layer?
Which is hotter, the core or the
photosphere?
Let’s have an activity.
I have here a boiled eggs.
Let’s imagine that this egg is the sun.
Who will go infront and show to us the
layers of the sun using an egg?
convection zone
photosphere
Another thing that could represent the sun is
an apple.
The convection zone is responsible for
formation of cloud in the earth and on other
planets in the solar system.
Radiation zone is the third other-most layer
of the sun that emits radiation which is
dangerous to our health.
Because radiation zone and the photosphere
lessen the effect of radiation by blocking
some of the radioactive particles that the
radiation zone releases.
Core is the inner-most and the center part of
the sun. It is mainly compose of molten
rocks where hydrogen is converted to
helium to produce energy in the form of
heat and light.
The core, because it has a temperature of 15
million degree Celsius, while photosphere
has only 6,600 degree celcius.
The eggshell represents the photosphere, the
cloth-like part between the shell egg white
is the convection zone, the egg white is the
radiation zone, and the egg yolk is the core.

 Who will go infront and show to us the
layers of the sun using an apple?
E. Generalization
Will you enumerate the layers of the sun?
What our sun is considered as star?
F. Enrichment Activity
Draw the cross section of the sun showing
its layers and label its parts.
Who will go infront and explain his work to
us?
The red skin of the apple us the
photosphere, the white portion after the skin
is the convection zone, the round space at
the center is the radiation zone and the seed
is the core.

core
radiation zone
The layers of the sun are photosphere,
convection zone, radiation zone, and the
core.
Because just like other stars, our sun is a
ball of hydrogen and helium gas that emits
light and heat.
Core
Radiation zone
Convection zone
Photosphere
This is the sun. The sun has four layers.
Core is the center, radiation zone is the
second inner-most, convection zone is the
third inner-most, and the photosphere is the
outer-most layer.
