IV. PROCEDURES

A. Reviewing previous lesson To let the students recall the previous lesson let the students
or presenting the new lesson answer the following activity.

Activity 1: 5R's of Sustainability

Direction: Given are practices promoting sustainable use of natural

resources. Identify which "R" of the 5 R's (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse,
Recyle, and Recover) is being demonstrated.

1. Turning empty cans as flower pots.

2. Washing empty water bottles for future use.
3. Using bicycles to reach destinations instead of riding
motorcycles.
4. Utilizing dead leaves as organic fertilizer.
5. Avoiding the use of single-use plastic straws.

B. Establishing a purpose of To let students appreciate the importance of the lesson, show the
the lesson learners the following pictures and ask some questions.

What have you observed on the picture?

What role does the atmosphere play in protecting the Earth?
Without the presence of the atmosphere, what do you think will
happen to the temperature of the Earth?

C. Presenting Activity 2: Atmosphere: What am I made of?

examples/instances of the new Direction: Analyze the pie graph below and answer the following
lesson question.
Guide Questions:
1. Which gas is the most abundant in the atmosphere? How about
the least abundant?
2. What do you think will happen if the amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere increases uncontrollably?

D. Discussing new concepts Activity 3: Atmosphere: How are we divided?

and practicing new skills #1
Directions: Study the graph below and answer the succeeding
questions.

Guide Questions:
1. What are the five layers of the atmosphere? Estimate the height
of each layer.
2. In which layer is temperature increasing with increasing altitude?
3. In which layer is temperature decreasing with increasing altitude?
4. What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the
troposphere? stratosphere? mesosphere? thermosphere?
exosphere?
5. Analyze the graph. What is the basis for the division of Earth’s
atmosphere?

E. Discussing new concepts After activity 3, the teacher will expound the different layers of the
and practicing new skills #2 atmosphere.

The temperature profile of the atmosphere is the basis for dividing

the atmosphere into several layers: (1) troposphere, (2)
stratosphere, (3) mesosphere, (4) thermosphere, and the (5)
exosphere. Each layer has its own distinct characteristics. Let us
find out more about them.

LAYERS PF THE ATMOSPHERE

1. Troposphere
- starts at the Earth’s surface and extends 8 km to 14.5 km high.
- first layer
- "tropos" means change due to changing temperatures
- As altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere decrease

2. Stratosphere
- second layer of the atmosphere
-"strat" means layer
- layer of air that starts just above the troposphere and extends to
about 50 km.
- temperature increases as the altitude increases
- ozone layer is found in this layer
- location where aircrafts fly because it is very stable

3. Mesosphere
- layer between 50 km and 80 km above the Earth’s surface
- “Meso” means middle
- temperature decreases as altitude increases.
- coldest layer (average temperature of -90 ℃)
- has thin layer of air adds friction to meteoroids which becomes
meteors producing a burning tail and seen shooting stars.

4. Thermosphere
- fourth layer
- “Thermo” means heat.
- hottest layer (beyond 1000 degrees celcius)
- Ionosphere can be found in this layer
- Spacecraft fly in this area.

5. Exosphere
- outermost layer
- "exo" means outside
- more than 700 km, up to 10 000 km from the surface of Earth with
no clear boundary
- satellites are stationed in this area

F. Developing Mastery (Leads Activity 4: Complete me!

to Formative Assessment) Directions: Complete the sentences below by choosing from the
pool of words given in the box.
Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air called 1) _____________. It is a
mixture of 2) _____________. The most abundant gas found in the
atmosphere is 3) _________. There are 4) __________ layers in the
atmosphere namely: 5) _____________, stratosphere,
6)_______________, 7)______________, 8)______________.

The two factors that are considered in determining the layers of

the atmosphere are 9) _____________ and 10) ______________. The
atmosphere has vital roles for us. First, it 11) _____________ us from
dangerous 12) ______________ from the Sun through the 13)
_____________ layer.

Second, it contains the 14) _____________ we breathe. Lastly, it

makes Earth “livable” by regulating solar energy or the energy
coming from the sun which drives all life processes on Earth.
Because of the atmosphere, earth is not “too hot” nor “too cold” to
sustain 15)_________.
G. Finding practical Reflect: Let the students read the text below.
applications of concepts and skills
in daily living Role of Atmosphere in Sustaining Life on Earth

Surrounding earth is a layer of gas which is a critical factor in

sustaining life on the planet. This layer of gas called the
atmosphere, is held together by earth’s gravity. It makes earth
“livable” by regulating solar energy, or the energy coming from the
sun which drives all life processes on Earth. Because of the
atmosphere, earth is not “too hot” nor “too cold” to sustain life. This
characteristic sets Earth apart from other planets.

Processing Questions:

1. What is the role of atmosphere is sustaining life?

2. without the atmosphere, what is most likely to happen to the
inhabitants of the Earth?

H. Making generalizations and Let the students complete the statements below:
abstractions about the lesson
In this lesson I learn about: _________________.
I also learned that the atmosphere has layers namely: _______,
___________, _________, ____________, and ___________.
It is important to value the arth's atmosphere because it
___________________.

I. Evaluating learning IDENTIFICATION

Direction: Read each item carefully.Identify the word is being
described in the statement.
1. The most abundant gas in the atmosphere. (Nitrogen)
2. The layer with the most unstable layer. (Troposphere)
3.A blanket of air that surrounds the Earth. (Atmosphere)
4. It is considered the coldest layer. (Mesophere)
5. The layer where aircrafts like airplanes fly. (Stratosphere)
6. Ionosphere can be found in this layer. (Thermosphere)
7. It is considered the hottest layer. ( Thermosphere)
8. It is the outermost layer of the atmosphere. (Exosphere)
9. The layer where meteoroids becomes meteors. (Mesosphere)
10. The layers closest to the earth's surface. (Troposphere)

1. Additional activities for

application or remediation
