Objectives Specific Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the Grade 7 students are expected to attain the following with at least
75% proficiency level:
a. explain how shadows are formed;
b. construct a model of solar and lunar eclipse; and
c. value the importance of eclipses by evaluating some beliefs about it.
II. CONTENT
Shadows and Eclipses
Shadows are formed if an object block a light source.
Eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an object is temporarily obscurd, either by passing into the
shadow of another body or by having another body parts between it and the viewer.
Solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes directly between the sun and earth.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is directly on the opposite side of the Earth and the Sun.

IV. PROCEDURES
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
A. Reviewing prev. lesson / Presenting new lesson
Kindly stand up, let us pray.

Good morning class!

Good morning Ma’am!
How are you today?
We’re fine.
It’s nice to hear because today we are going to have an
activity. But before that let us have first a short recap
of our previous lesson.

What was our last topic all about?

Our last topic was all about seasons.
Exactly! In order for you to prove that you really have
learned from our previous lesson, I am going to post
here some statements that explain why seasons
change. And you are going to raise the green flag if
the statement is true and red if not with the flags
provided in your armchairs.

Reasons:
1. The tilting of the Earth.
 2. The changes in weather.

3. The revolution of the Earth around the sun.

4. The direct rays of the sun to the Earth.

5. The length of daytime.

6. Climate change.

Very good students! You were able to identify the

reasons why seasons change.
B. Establishing purpose
Now, we are going to watch a short video
presentation. While watching, you have to observe
carefully to it because we are going to answer the
following guide questions right after the presentation.

Guide questions:
1. What was shown in the video presentation?
2. Is bakunawa real?
3. What happens during a bakunawa?

After the video presentation

Let us now answer the guide questions.

1. What was illustrated in the video presentation?

The moon was eaten by a dragon.
2. Is bakunawa real?
No!
3. What happens during a bakunawa?
Eclipse.
Let us all find out what happens during a bakunawa or
eclipse in this lesson entitled shadows and eclipses but
before that let us first be guided with our lesson
objectives.
Specific Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the Grade 7 students are expected
to attain the following with at least 75% proficiency level:
a. explain how shadows are formed;
b. construct a model of solar and lunar eclipse; and
c. value the importance of eclipses by evaluating
some beliefs about it.
C. Presenting instances of the new lesson
This time I am going to demonstrate something and
you have to carefully observe because afterwards we
are going to answer the following guide questions:
1. What is projected on the paper?
2. How are shadows formed?
3. What is the effect of shadows?

Teacher Demonstration on Formation of Shadows

Materials
 1piece shoebox (or other cardboard box)
 1 ft. wax paper or white paper
 1piece tape
 1piece flashlight
 3pieces small objects (such as plastic animals,
 pencil, coin)
What to do
1. Make two openings on the shoebox, one on
top and another on the bottom (see figure
below).

Flashlight Wax paper

2. Cover one opening with wax paper (or white

paper) and secure it with tape.
3. Hold a flashlight inside the box and shine the
light on wax the paper.
4. Place the mystery object close to the
flashlight. (The shadow will appear very big.)
5. Ask students to identify the shadows viewed
on the wax paper. (At this distance, students
cannot guess the shadows accurately).
6. Slowly move the objects away from the
flashlight to make the shadow of the object
clearer. (This time, students can now
accurately guess the shadow.)
7. Do steps 4-6 to another mystery object.

D. Discussing new concept and practicing news skills

#1
This time, we are going to have a group activity. This
class will be divided into five groups according to the
picture you get inside the like and dislike button. Once
you are already in your group, assign a group leader,
presenter, and a secretary. Your group secretary will
list down the group members because it will serve as
your attendance for today. You will be given five
minutes to finish your activity and another three
minutes to present your output.

Before we proceed, let us have first the rubrics which

will be used in rating your activity.

E. Discussing new concept and practicing news skills #

2
1. What is an eclipse?
Eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one
celestial object move into the shadow of another.
2. Describe what happens during a total eclipse.
Solar eclipse occurs when Earth passes through a new
moon’s shadow.
3. How can a tiny moon block out the giant sun?
Even though the sun is four hundred times larger than the
moon, it is also four hundred times farther away therefore
the two object appear the same size in the sky.
4. Differentiate the kinds of solar eclipse.
The four types of solar eclipse is total solar eclipse where
in the moon completely covers the Sun’s surface. Another
is the partial eclipse where in the moon passes the of the
center, never fully covering the Sun’s surface. Third is the
annular eclipse, the moon is directly in front of the Sun
however, the Moon appears too small to fully cover the
Sun. Last is the hybrid eclipse where the Moon’s position
between the Earth and the Sun is finely balance.
5. Why doesn’t a solar eclipse occur every month
during a new moon?
The moon’s orbit around the Earth is at a slight tilt
compared to the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The Moon
is not directly between the Sun and the Earth during every
new moon phase.
6. What is lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through
the Earth’s shadow.
7. Differentiate the kinds of lunar eclipse.
The first is the total lunar eclipse where in the Sun, Moon,
and Earth are in perfect alignment and the Moon falls
 between the Earth’s shadow. The second is partial lunar
eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not in
perfectely align and only part of the Moon passes to the
Earth’s umbra. Lastly is the penumbral lunar eclipse
where the Moon passes through the Earth’s penumbral
shadow.
8. If lunar eclipse occurs only during full moon, why
we doesn’t experienced every month?
The Moon’s orbit around the Earth’s orbit is at a slight tilt
compared to the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The Earth is
not directly between the Sun and the Moon during every
full moon phase.

F. Developing mastery
Now, as you can see here in the board, there is an
illustration of the two eclipse. And on the opposite
side of the two are meta cards that include the features
of the eclipse. All you have to do is to put that meta
cards on the right kind of eclipse.

Lunar Eclipse Solar Eclipse

Features:
An eclipse in which the sun is blocked by the moon.

Moon lies between Sun and Earth.

An eclipse in which the Moon appears dim, as it

passes into Earth’s shadow

Earth lies between Sun and Moon.

It occurs during daytime.

It occurs during night time.

Lunar Eclipse
 Solar Eclipse

G. Finding practical applications

Now, I need at least two volunteers to share a
superstitious belief about eclipse and we are going to
give its scientific explanation.
Looking directly to the sun during an eclipse can
permanently damage the eyes.
Remember that the Sun’s rays can impair or cause
permanent eye damage when viewed through the
naked eyes, that is why viewers are advised to use a
especially-made viewing glasses.
Pregnant women are prevented from sewing so that they
won’t have a deformed children.
There haven’t yet any proof that sewing while the
eclipse is happening can cause deformities to the baby.
Deformation only happens when a pregnant woman do
things or eat foods that is not allowed for her.
H. Making generalizations and abstractions
This time you are going to model the two kinds of
eclipse using the provided props. You are going to
assign from your group who will act as sun, moon, and
earth and model the type of eclipse that I am going to
say. If you are already done, raise your like button and
the first one who got the correct demonstration will
get the point.

Solar eclipse.

Lunar eclipse

Very good class you were able to correctly

demonstrate the position the type of eclipse.

Do you have any questions or clarifications regarding

our topic? None Ma’am.
I. Evaluation of Learning
Answer the following questions in a ½ sheet of paper
crosswise.
1. Explain how shadows are formed.
2. Draw the formation of solar and lunar eclipse.
3. Give at least one belief about eclipse and give its
scientific explanation.
J. Additional activities for application or remediation
Research how the moon causes tide.
