Title: Space Adventure Series


Description
This set of instructional materials focuses on the solar system. It contains a Teachers Guide, four
wall charts and a series of activity cards for the students.
Easy to do science activities relevant to the topic have been designed to be used in small group
situations or individually. The activities included in each activity card are designed for the
students to attain a specific skill.
The skills to be used in each activity start with the simpler skills like identification and description
and progress to higher skills such as inferring and scaling.
Answer key is also included for the teachers use.

Target Audience
First Year Science and Technology students
Subject Matter/Learning Competency
PSSLC Chapter VI - Earths Place in the Universe; page 9, 4.1-4.2, Fourth Grading Period
Duration
3 sessions at eighty (80) minutes per session

Objectives
After doing all the activities in this set, the students will be able to:
* identify the composition of the solar system;
* gather and interpret data correctly;
* compare the different planets according to their characteristics;
* infer from the data given;
* calculate the relative size of a planet using scale drawing;
* represent the relative size of a planet by using conversion of units and ratio and
proportion.
Procedure
* Arrange students into groups of 4 or 5. Composition of group should include mixed
abilities.
* Assign a leader to retrieve materials required for each group.
* The teacher should have Pre-Activity discussions.
* The wall chart and the activity cards should be used extensively by the students.
* Students responses should be written on the activity cards.
* The following time frame for each activity should be strictly followed by the teacher and
the students.
Activity Card No. 1 - 25 to 30 minutes
Activity Card No. 2 - 30 to 35 minutes
Activity Card No. 3 - 30 to 35 minutes
Activity Card No. 4 - 40 to 45 minutes
Activity Card No. 5 - 50 to 55 minutes
* Activity Card Nos.1 and 2 should be taken up for one session (80 minutes); Activity Card
Nos. 3 and 4 in another 80-minute session and Activity Card No. 5 in another 80minute session for a total of three (3) eighty minute sessions.
* Provide feedback or process students work after each activity.
Teaching Hints
The teacher has the option to:
* let the students perform the activities individually or by groups;
- if the students perform individually, the activity cards should be reproduced for more
student participation
- if the students perform by groups;
* each student-group may do the set of activities all at the same time; or
* each student-group may do the set of activities on rotation basis.
* let the students do the model planets using used newspaper and drawing compasses if they are
available.

Enrichment Idea
The students determine and compare the relative distances of the planets using appropriate
materials and value for their ratio and proportion.
Evaluation
To measure the learning skills and knowledge acquired by the students, the teacher will:
* observe students participation in the activities (use of scientific language, oral responses)
* check completion of set tasks within the time frame given
* check accuracy of responses to activity questions.
Resource List
