-Cooperation,Role-Playing,Project Presentations Activate Background Knowledge PRE QUIZGive written Pre Quiz with easy questionsExplain and Discuss background knowledge of the students Start explaining some of the science termsAsk“Big Question”for first time:Which planet would you want to visit?PRE QUIZ Activate your knowledge!For lower levels,divide up the quiz in JIG-SAW style,give printed copies to groups of 3,then students share results Think about describing words:HOT,COLD,ARID,WATERY,GAS1.What do you know about our Sun?2.Mercury is closest to the Sun;Do you think its hot there?3.Earth is the third planet from the Sun.How long is our trip around the sun?(Hint:how long is one year?)4.Jupiter is our biggest planet;Does it have the heaviest gravity?5.What do you think gravity is?6.Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun;What do you think the rings are made of?7.Uranus is the seventh planet;If it has no land,what is it made of?Next slides are Mini-Lecture#1 Introduction Show slides to class and readThe Solar System is where we liveEarth is in our Solar SystemDiscuss any questions and ideas with a partner,then join the class discussionOur SunOur Sun is in the middle of our Solar SystemIt gives light and heatSolar Power uses the“free energy”from the Sun:solar means sunIt is a medium-small star (it looks big because its close to us)Mini-Lecture given first time as power point presentation with 10 slides Mercury Mercury is the closest planet to the SunIt has a short orbit of 88 daysTemperature is very hot because Sun is so closeThe FIRST PlanetVenusVenus is the second planet from the SunHas thick poisonous gas clouds“Glows in the dark”because it is so hotCalled“The Evening Star”it can be seen near our Moon on most nightsStars twinkle when you look at them and planets do not they glowEarth Our Home PlanetEarth is the third planet from the Sun;one orbit=365 daysOceans cover about 2/3 of Earths surfaceOne-third is land,desert and mountainsOur atmosphere of“air”keeps Earth TEMPERATE not too hot nor too coldMars the Fourth PlanetCalled“The Red Planet”because it is mostly made of IRON DUST which looks red from rustMars is arid dry It is very rocky and like a desertExtreme temperatures hot in light,cold in darkMars has“canals”caused by water erosion that look very,very old some water is frozen in the polar ice capsJupiter The Gas GiantJupiter is the fifth planet from our SunJupiter is the largest planet in solar systemIt has the heaviest gravity of all planetsThe giant“eye”in south is a giant stormJupiter has 63 moonsz Saturn zSaturn is the sixth

review and lesson on numbersExplain Cardinals and Ordinals Match numerals and written namesPractice orally and writtenListen to teacher give place of each planet in solar systemRepeat planet names orallyIndividual activity:Write SUN,FIRST,SECOND,THIRD,FOURTH,FIFTH,SIXTH,SEVENTH,EIGHTH,NINTH on your paper along the left side write the planet names next to their place in our Solar System Math and SpellingMaking a GlossaryEach student will make a personal glossary of vocabulary words and termsWords will be in alphabetical orderPairs work together to define words and check each others workGlossary will be checked by teacherStudents add to Glossary every classExample of vocabulary words in a GLOSSARY1.ORBIT An orbit is a path.Its the way something goes around an object in space.An orbit is a curved path,like a circle or an oval.The moon goes in orbit around Earth.We are in orbit right now-because Earth is following an orbit around the sun.The International Space Station orbits Earth.2.SATELLITE An object in orbit is called a satellite.A satellite can be natural,like the moon.It can be human-made,like the space station.Earth is a natural satellite of the sun.All the planets are satellites of the Sun.note:students can add Spanish,Chinese or Cambodian translations alsoGrammar Activity -Build a SentenceReview simple Past Tense in English.Print activity and cut on lines.The left side is the sentence beginning.The right side has the endings.Teacher models activity and reads aloud.Teacher writes example sentence on the board.Students work in like-ability pairs to put the sentences together.Students reshuffle and re-do several times with different partners.Extension:students create a conversation using sentences and asking questions.Mini-Lecture#2 is Graphic DiagramTeacher draws very large diagram on board and answers class questionsGraphic diagram is handed out Pairs study it together,answer questions and make sentences for#5 and#6Students make own graphic diagram of our Solar System with felt pens1.Teacher explains orbits again,how they are oval2.Hand out printed diagram3.Students make their own diagram of our Solar SystemTwo Student Examples of Solar System DiagramMini-Lecture#3 is printedPrint Mini-Lecture with 6 on a pageStudents read silently,then aloud in pairs to each other Internet research done at www.nasa.gov on different planetsThey add new vocabulary to GlossaryStudents share research in pairs,then in groups of fourPart 1Part 2Mini-Lecture#3 can be printed with lines for notesConversation with Solar System themeConversation is printed,handed outStudents listen to conversationEveryone reads aloud togetherPairs read conversation to each otherSwitch partners and do againNext slide has original conversation -by Chaundel Johnson 2011 ASTRONAUT CONVERSATIONJoseph:Hello Bob,how are you?Bobby:Hi Joseph;Im good.How about you?Joseph:Im great.I have good news.Bobby:Oh,what news do you have?Joseph:My oldest son wants to be an astronaut.Bobby:An as-tro-naut,whats that?Joseph:An astronaut is a spaceman.He goes into space.Bobby:Oh,like the ones who went to the moon?Joseph:Yes.They also go to the ISS.Bobby:What is the ISS?Joseph:ISS stands for International Space Station.Bobby:International means lots of nations,I think.Joseph:Thats right.About fifteen nations worked together on it.Bobby:Does your son want to go there?Joseph:Yeah.He wants to be a scientist on the ISS.Bobby:Your son is seventeen years old,right?Joseph:Yes,he graduates this spring.Bobby:Does a scientist have to go to college?Joseph:Yes,a scientist needs a degree from the university.Bobby:What university will he go to?Joseph:Hes going to UT in Austin.Bobby:Great!I know you are very proud of him.Joseph:Thank you.Someday he might go to Mars.Bobby:Wow,thats amazing!Joseph:First step is the ISS,then a nine month trip to Mars.Bobby:That sounds interesting.Joseph:Yes.Scientists are studying Mars.Bobby:What is Mars like?Joseph:Its very cold,dry and rocky.No air.Bobby:Wow.How do you know that?Joseph:Scientists sent two Rovers go-karts there.Bobby:What do the Rovers do?Joseph:The Rovers drive around and take pictures.Bobby:Thats amazing!Joseph:Yeah,we are learning about Mars.Bobby:I wish good luck to your son.Joseph:Thanks.It was good to see you.Bobby:It was great to talk with you.Conversation Practice with Science themeWhat

the 3 sentences.Roles are Writer,Leader,Presenter.Writer writes sentences;Leader is high-level student/Timekeeper;Presenter reads sentences;Leader answers yes/no questionsTeacher helps with spelling and grammar.Emphasize that“Its a secret!”Teams get 12 minutes to prepareWhich planet would you want to visit?Group activity in teams of 3 with Role-Playing Secretary,Speaker,ResearcherTeams are chosen by planet(written on small slips)Fill out chart with PROS&CONSMake a poster with picture+captionWrite“why?”in a short paragraph of at least 3 sentences(advanced class:add 2 more sentences)Present chart and poster to classAnalysis and Synthesis of Solar System Lessons in a group projectTeacher note:This activity moderately bombed.Almost all of the ESL level 2 students chose Earth as the planet they want to explore.Changed activity to one about Earth using library books I gave out slips with specific questions for teams to research,complete with page numbers in specific books;encouraged discussion of pictures.Research Topics:Earths size,orbit,seasons&weather,earthquakes Teams made a small poster together to present to class.Pictures of Team Projects -ESL 2 StudentsAdvanced Research ESL 3Gave choice of 3 topics -Both internet and library books were used in pairs with poster and presentation of research when finished What is global warming?How does it affect our air?How does it affect our water?How does it affect the animals?What can we do to stop global warming?What does it mean to“Live Green”?What can we do to save the Earth?How can we save energy?How can we save resources?Should we recycle?Do you recycle?Should we use solar power,wind and geothermal power?How and why do earthquakes happen?How can we prepare for earthquakes?Have you ever been in an earthquake?What is a tsunami?Why is a tsunami so dangerous?ESL 3 Students doing online researchBibliography a college skillEarth,by Steven Kipp,Bridgestone Books,1998The Earth,by Angela
