B. Materials – visual aids, pictures, textbook and other resource materials
C. Science Ideas
1. Venus is the second planet from the Sun.
2. It is often called “the twin sister of Earth” because of its almost similar size
and mass.
3. Venus is also the hottest planet due to the warming effect caused by its

All About That Space

(Tune: All About That Bass)
(Chorus)
Because you know
*I’m all about that space,
‘bout that space, eight planets
(repeat * 3x)
I’m all about that space,
‘bout that space, space, space, space,
space.
Yea, it’s pretty clear
We have eight planets
But Pluto’s coming back
Like he’s supposed to do
‘Cause the big, yellow Sun is heating up
All the right sides and all the right places
I see the skies at night
Burning the meteor down
We know there are comets
Come on, now make ‘em stop
An asteroid belt so vast
Just raise them up
’Cause every planet is perfect from the
bottom to the top.
(Refrain)
Yea, my teacher, he told me,
“Don’t worry about the space,”
He said, “God created Solar System
for you and me.”
You know I want to come out and explore
the space
So if that’s what you’re into
Then go ’head and come along.
(repeat Chorus)

 I’m bringing Pluto back
Go ‘head and tell them Science teachers, hey!
(But wait, there’s more!)
There are satellites
They’re known as moons
’Cause every planet is perfect from the bottom to the top.
(repeat Refrain and Chorus)

planet?”
 “That is correct! Mercury is the first
planet from the Sun.”
 “Now, describe Mercury. What does it  “It looks like our moon. It is full of

 “It is the smallest planet and it is the
second hottest planet in the Solar
System.”
 “Mercury has no moon and
atmosphere.”

 “Why doesn’t Mercury have a moon?  Because it is too close to the Sun that
Atmosphere?” its atmosphere evaporated. Its moon
would be sucked by the Sun because
of its great gravitational force.

B. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation

destination, let me ask you this:
Have you ever seen a pair of twins?”

 “How did you know that they are  “They are very much look alike.”
twins?”  “Their height is the same.”
 “They are of both genders.”
 “They have similar mannerisms.”

 “Did you know that our planet has a

twin sister?”
 “Let me show you their pictures.”
 (The teacher will show pictures of
Venus and Earth.)
 “Now, compare the two planets.”
 “Venus is yellow in color while Earth
has blue and green colors.”
 “They are almost the same in size and
shape.”
 “They are rocky worlds.”
 Earth has water while Venus has
none.

2. Discussion
 “Let see if your answers are correct.  (The pupils will listen to the presented
Let us now go to our next destination lesson by the teacher.)
which is the planet VENUS.”

Prepared by: Mr. Guillermo D. Sabio III Page 2 of 5

  (The teacher will introduce Venus and
will further explain the facts of the
planet.)
 Why do you think Venus is called the
morning star or the evening star?
 (The teacher will now discuss the
outer features of the planet.)
 “Is the shape of Venus similar to that
of Earth?”
 “Why do you think Venus has a
circular shape and not like the Earth?”
 “How about the rotation of Venus?
How would you describe it?”
 “Now, let’s talk about the orbit. Again,
what is an orbit?”
 “Moving deeper into the planet, you’ll
see landforms like that on Earth.”
 (The teacher will continue discussing,
but this time, about the inner features
of the planet.)
 “What are landforms?”
 “Give me examples of landforms?”
 “Why do you think Venus is hotter
than Mercury?”
 (The teacher will further explain how
greenhouse effect works and will
compare it to Earth.”
 “If volcanoes and solar winds are
responsible in making things worse on
Venus, how about on Earth? What
contributes to the excessive heating
on our planet?”
 “Now, would you like our planet to
become like Venus?”
 “Then, what should we do to prevent
that kind of event? Let us have our
activity.”
Prepared by: Mr. Guillermo D. Sabio III
 Venus is called the morning star or
evening star because they appear
very bright in the sky after the moon.
 “No, Teacher. Earth is an oblate
spheroid while Venus is almost
circular.”
 “Venus’ shape is circular due to the
absence of a tidal force exerted by a
celestial object that should be orbiting
it.”
 “It rotates clockwise or in a retrograde
manner. Unlike the other planets,
Venus’s rotation is from east to west.”
 “Orbit is the imaginary path of a planet
around the Sun.”
 “Landforms are bodies of land created
through natural process or by man.”
 “mountain, volcano, hill, plateau,
island, continent, archipelago,
peninsula, etc.”
 “Venus is hotter than Mercury
because of the thick atmosphere that
is mostly made of carbon dioxide
which traps the heat.”
 “Smokes from factories”
 “Burning fossil fuels like coal and
natural gas”
 “Emissions from vehicles”
 “Improper disposal of garbage”
 “Cutting off trees”
 “Using materials with CFCs”
 “No, teacher.”
