THE SOLAR SYSTEM LEARNING OUTCOMES compare planets in the solar system based on their characteristics; and compare planets in the identify and describe thesolar system based on their characteristics; and characteristics of the other members of the solar system. SOLAR SYSTEM GALLERY WALK Mechanics: Each group is given fact cards, guide questions, and illustration of their assigned planet. The group will read the information given and discuss the unique features, characteristics, and attractions of their planet. SOLAR SYSTEM GALLERY WALK Mechanics: All the groups will be given a manila paper in which they will draw and write the information about their assigned planet. After 20 minutes, the group will paste their work on their designated area. SOLAR SYSTEM GALLERY WALK Mechanics: Two members will roam around the gallery of planets to answer the guide questions, while the other two members will explain their work to the people who are roaming around. Guide Questions: 1. How long does it take Mercury to orbit the Sun? 2. How many moons does Venus have? 3. How many days does it take for Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun? 4. What is the name of the largest volcano on Mars? 5. What is the Great Red Spot on Jupiter? 6. What is the main component of Saturn's rings? 7. How many moons does Uranus have? 8. What is the farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system? THE SOLAR SYSTEM closest planet to the Sun one of the hottest planets in our solar system also the coldest among the inner planets MERCURY takes about 88 days to complete one orbit around the Sun has no moon hottest planet in the solar system has thick clouds made mostly of carbon dioxide VENUS considered as Earth’s twin planet has one large moon the only known planet to support life largest of the four terrestrial planets EARTH 70% of Earth’s surface is covered with water takes 24 hours to complete its rotation on its own axis 365 days to complete its revolution around the Sun EARTH known as red planet has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with traces of nitrogen and argon MARS Olympus Mons known as the largest planet in the solar system has a very small faint dust rings around Great Red Spot JUPITER has 95 known moons the four large moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto known as the second largest planet in the solar system rings consist of particles of ice and rocks, varying in size has 146 moons in its orbit SATURN known as the third largest planet in the solar system is surrounded by 13 faint rings and 28 small moons atmosphere is composed of methane gas URANUS coldest planet in the solar system known as the fourth largest planet in the solar system has dark-colored storm called the Great Dark Spot has 16 moons NEPTUNE https://youtu.be/ZHAqT4hXnMw THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM The Sun largest and brightest object in the solar system sun comprises 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system The Moon Earth’s natural satellite goes through different phases as it orbits the Earth gravitational pull on Earth causes tides in the oceans Comets made up of dust and rocks particles with frozen water, methane, and ammonia Halley’s comet is an example of a comet which cross the solar system every 76 years. Meteoroids pieces of rocks and dust that breaks from comet’s nucleus When meteoroids enter the Earth’s atmosphere these pieces of rocks and dust are burned. The burning rocks that enters Earth’s atmosphere are called meteor. Asteroids known as planetoids, are small pieces of rocks and metal that orbit around the sun between Mars and Jupiter Asteroid Belt "Galactic Guesswork: Unveil the Mystery Image Choose a number, and answer a corresponding question.

Just like planets, our lives need to be in complete order so that we may foster and grow. However, as some asteroids, comets, meteors, and other heavenly bodies may disrupt the balance in outer space, problems in life may also arise. Let us make meaning! As a sixth grade pupil, what problems are you currently facing? What are the ways you do to solve those problems? Let us make meaning! Why is it important to open up to our family and friends about certain problems that we encounter in our lives? Why is it also important to offer our shoulder for them to lean on when our friends and family also have problems? CLOSURE Today I have learned about __________. However, I still need to learn more on _________.
