1. The document outlines an assignment for a lesson on the solar system focusing on the movements of rotation and revolution of the Earth. 2. The aims are to activate prior knowledge of Earth's movements and do a hands-on activity to demonstrate evidence of the movements. Learning outcomes are for students to explain Earth's movements with the activity. 3. Planned activities include a brainstorm using cooperative learning, matching text and pictures in groups, and making a hands-on model to show understanding of rotation and revolution.

1. Assignment for Block II – Module IV
1. Choose a topic from a content area of your choice. You may use the same
topic as in block 1.
Area: Social Science.
Topic: Solar System – The movements of rotation and revolution.
Sessions: It is a double session of 1h and 30 minutes.
2. Identify the aims, learning outcomes, key contents and language (briefly).
Aim 1: Activate pupils’ knowledge about the movements of the Earth.
Aim 2: To make a hands-on activity to show evidence of the movements of the Earth.
Learning outcomes: Students at the end of the lesson should be able to explain the
movements of the Earth with the help of the hands-on activity.

2. 3. Design activities for each of these stages:
a. Activate/Established: Students will brainstorm ideas on a KWL chart about
the movements of the Earth using the 1,2,4 cooperative learning technique.
b. Explore: Students will match an adapted text with the pictures in groups.
Then, pupils will make a hands-on activity to show understanding of the key
contents.
Adapted text:
Revolution of the Earth: The Earth
orbits around the Sun. It takes one
year or 365 days to go around the
Sun.

3. Rotation of the Earth: The Earth
rotates on its axis. It takes one day
to spin around itself.
The rotation is what causes the
change from day to night.
This titled axis is responsible for
having seasons.

4. Session 2: students will make a hands-on activity as you can see the attached picture
below.
