Universe and Solar System
The learners demonstrate the understanding of the formation of the universe and the solar system.
The learners will show their understanding by creating a concept map.
The learners:
 state the different hypothesis explaining the origin of the universe, and;
 explain the current advancements/information on the solar system.
At the end of this module, I can:
 differentiate the different theories about the formation of the universe;
 differentiate the different theories about the formation of the solar system, and;
 identify the persons behind the theories of the solar system, and the universe.

INTRODUCTION: Teacher’s Tip:
The teacher will show set of pictures to the class and ask a question. Encourage student’s participation.
 How did this happen?
MOTIVATION Guide Questions:
The teacher will play a video entitled “Where did the Universe Came From?” 1. What was the video all about?
2. How did our universe

PRACTICE
Modified True or False (10 items)
Direction: Write A if the first statement is true and the second statement is false.
B if the first statement is false and the second statement is true.
C if both statements are true.
 D if both statements are false.

____1. Descartes’ Vortex Theory

State that the solar system was formed into bodies with nearly circular orbits.
State that the universe is unchanging in time and uniform in space.
____2. Dwarf Planet
Is in orbit around the sun.
Is not a satellite.
____3. Inflation Theory
Proposed by Alan Guth and Andy Albrecht
Proposed by Paul Steinhart and Andrei Linde
____4. Inner Planets
 Mars, Earth, Jupiter, Mercury
Mars, Venus, Neptune, Earth
____5. M-Theory
Occurs as a result of the contract of two hyperdimensional branes.
It is consistent with quantum gravity.
____6. Asteroids
Made up of rocks and are sometimes referred to as minor planets in many ways.
Composed mainly of ice and nonvolatile dust.
____7. Steady State Theory
Refers to the rapid expansion of space and time.
Universe is always expanding in a constant average density.
____8. Celestial Bodies
 Eris, Ganymede, Titan, Pluto
Makemake, Ceres, Luna, Eris
____9. Immanuel Kant, Pierre-Simon Laplace
Nebular Hypothesis
Kant-Laplace Nebular Theory
____10. Jean-Jeffrey’s Tidal Theory
Proposed that the planets were formed from the substance that was torn out of the sun.
Suggested a dualistic theory in which the sun and planets were produced by different mechanisms.
EVALUATION Teacher’s Tip:
List down 10 concepts you learned about the theories of the universe and the solar system. Show your Present and discuss the rubrics.
understanding by creating a concept map.
