I. Objective
1. Discuss significance of Platos problem saving the appearance to the scientific mindset of the
philosophers.
2. Tabulate philosopher name and the proposed model of the Universe and place them in a timeline.
Connect the ancient models of the Universe to their proponents and according to the philosophical
biases and the motion of the sky observed.
3. Specify the additional feature of the new models required to match the new observations of the
annual motion of the sky.
III. Procedures
TEACHERS ACTIVITY STUDENTS ACTIVITY
A. Review
Class, what is our topic but meeting?
Ancient Greek Physics and Astronomy.
Very good! What are two domains view of the
universe?
Celestial and terrestrial domain.
So how will you differentiate the Celestial and
terrestrial domain?
Celestial domain is perfect hence can only be
made up of the perfect substance they called
ether and can only move in perfect motion
while terrestrial domain, object is imperfect and
that the tendency of thing to attain perfection is
the cause of their motion.
Excellent!
B. Motivation
Class, we will play a guessing game. You will
sing while passing my ballpeen. And if I said
stop, the student who still holding the object
will guess the picture on the blackboard.
Magtataho.
Train.
C. Lesson Proper
a. Activity
Class, on your research you gathered you
will tabulate the following philosophers
name: Plato, Eudoxus, Aristotle and
Ptolemy. The philosophers name,
timeline, drawing of models and
explanation should put in a table form on a
short bond paper. (The students will perform their activity.)
b. Analysis
Class, in our activity, how will you explain the
different proposed model you draw and
description? (The students answer the question.)
c. Abstraction
Plato (ca.427-ca.347 BC), the regularity of the
diurnal and annual motions of the sky can be
explained by his basic model: spherical by his
basic model: Spherical crystalline shells
containing the sun, moon, and the five planets
(Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.)
The stars are fixed in the outermost crystalline
sphere that rotates annually.
Class, how will you describe the proposed
model of Plato?
The proposed model of Plato describes the
spherical crystalline shells containing the Sun,
Moon, and the five planets. The stars are fixed
in the outermost crystalline sphere that rotates
annually.
Very good!
Eudoxus of Cnidus (C408-c347 BC), he
followed the previous models of the universe
but added 27 auxiliary spheres that are needed
to produce the appearance that planets
deviate from each others path.
Homo/Geocentric model
Aristotles Universe
Ptolemaic System
Class, do you see the difference from past
model of Plato up to newest model of Ptolemy?
d. Application
Class, have you observed the stars
position at night?
Very good!
Another class, have you observed the
sunrise and sunset here in San Jorge?
Excellent.
