“What do you remember about Eclipses?”
“What else?” Sir it’s when moon covers the earth.
“Today, we’re going to deepen your understanding Sir it’s when Earth becomes dark.
about eclipses since it became one of the least learned
competencies in your Grade 7 Science”.
ENGAGE (5 minutes)
So, to start with! I want you to watch a video entitled None, sir.
“Apocalypto” and observe a phenomenon that will
happen.
(Learners will watch the video and will
observe a phenomenon that will
happen)
Ma’am, the moon covers the sun.
Ma’am, it is called eclipse.
What phenomenon did you observe in the video?
Very Good! What do you call this phenomenon?
Very Good! To know more about this, I want you to do
this activity entitled, “Umbra, Penumbra”
EXPLORE (20 minutes)
To start with, these are the terms that you will
encounter in the activity. Please read these terms
because it will help you to understand our lesson better.
UNLOCKING DIFFICULTIES: - (Latin for "shadow") is the innermost
and darkest part of a shadow, where
Umbra the light source is completely blocked
by the object.
- (from the Latin paene "almost,
Penumbra nearly") is the region in which only a
portion of the light source is obscured
by the objects’ body. An observer in the
All right, so our activity for today is entitled penumbra experiences a partial eclipse.
“Umbra, Penumbra”
Mr./Ms___, Kindly read the objectives of our activity..
Objectives:
1. describe how shadows are formed
2. describe solar eclipse
3. describe lunar eclipse
All right! for the procedure, Mr./Ms.___ will you please 4. determine the conditions for an
read the direction? eclipse to occur
Procedure:
I. Find any device that can produce
light (cellphone or flashlight). Draw and
cut two circles made of paper with
different sizes or any spherical objects
with different sizes. The bigger size will
be the Earth and the smaller size will
be the moon. Then, put a stand at the
back of the circles made of paper or on
the spherical objects align them.
Arrange the materials as shown in
figure 1.
II. Using the same materials in Part I,
arrange it as shown in figure 2.
***Answer the guide questions and
present your results in the class.
( It is suggested to make use of objects
which are originally ball-shaped such as
labelled styro balls (moon and earth)
rather than using cut outs from paper in
order to avoid some misconceptions
too)
