This lesson plan is for a 10th grade geography class on Earth's rotation and revolution. It includes the core competencies, basic competencies, learning objectives, materials, teaching strategies, learning activities, assessment rubrics and sheets. The lesson will explain the definitions of rotation and revolution, their effects, and related terminology. Students will watch a video, discuss in pairs, present, and be assessed through written, spoken and portfolio tests. The goal is for students to understand Earth's movements and how they impact seasons and day/night.

 Content Materials
There are two movements of Earth, they are: rotation and revolution.
Earth’s Rotation

4. Earth’s rotation is the movement of Earth on its axis. Axis is an imaginary line
through the planet from North Pole to the South Pole. The Earth is tilted on its own axis at the
23.5° from a line perpendicular to the planet of its orbit of the sun. The earth rotates
counterclockwise from west to east. It takes 24 hours to complete one turn (rotation). This
rotation then will cause day and night; and sun’s rise and set on the Earth.
Earth’s Revolution
Meanwhile, as the movement of Earth on its own axis is called rotation, another
movement in which the Earth revolves around the Sun is called Earth’s revolution. The Earth
goes in an elliptical orbit and it takes 365 days to complete revolution around the Sun.
This movement will cause changes in season. Notice that the axis of the Earth is tilted
slightly. This causes part of the Earth to lean towards the Sun, while part of it is hidden either
beneath the Earth, or above it, causing different parts of the Earth’s surface to receive a
different amount of sunlight and heat. As the Earth moves around its orbit, the portion leaning
towards the sun changes. Throughout part of the year, the bottom half of the Earth, or
Southern Hemisphere leans towards the Sun, causing the top half of the Earth, or the Northern
Hemisphere to lean away from the sun. during this time of year, the Southern Hemisphere
gets more light and heat, which causes it to be warmer. The effect is that the Southern
Hemisphere enjoys summer. At the same time, the Northern Hemisphere receivers less light
and heat, making it cooler. While the Southern Hemisphere enjoys summer, the Northern

5. Hemisphere is in the midst of winter. As the Earth continues along its orbit around the sun,
the angle that the Earth’s axis tilts changes. Eventually the Northern Hemisphere faces the
sun, and the Southern Hemisphere leans away. During this time of the year, it is the Northern
Hemisphere’s turn to enjoy summer.
