20. THINK ABOUT IT!
1. What might happen if the earth does not rotate?
2. What effects might it bring to the earth itself, to the people and other
living organism on it, to the temperature, etc.

21. LET’S GENERALIZE OUR CONCEPT!
1. What is rotation?
It is the spinning or movement of the Earth on its axis from west to
east and completed in 24 hours or 1 day.
2. What causes day and night?
The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night.
3. Did you show cooperation with your group in the activity?
4. Why is cooperation important in a group activity?

22. LET’S SEE HOW MUCH YOU HAVE LEARNED
Direction: In a ¼ sheet of paper, write TRUE if the statement is correct and
FALSE if it is wrong.
1. Rotation of the Earth causes night and day.
2. It takes one year or 365 & ¼ days for the Earth to rotate completely on its
axis.
3. Different parts of the Earth experience day and night because the Earth is
rotating on its axis.
4. When the sun shines on the part of the Earth, that part is night time.
5. The activities of people on the different parts of the Earth differ during day
time and night time.
