    1. The document discusses the factors that make planets habitable and compares Venus, Earth, and Mars. It explains that being in the Goldilocks zone and having liquid water are two major requirements for habitability. 2. Key factors that influenced habitability for each planet are discussed, such as Venus having a very thick atmosphere creating high temperatures, Mars having little volcanic activity resulting in a thin atmosphere and cold surface, and Earth being at just the right distance from the Sun to support liquid water. 3. The document also summarizes how life started on Earth based on the Miller-Urey experiment which found extremophile organisms could thrive in the early extreme ocean conditions, and how cyanobacteria later produced oxygen

    Lesson 3: UNIVERSE AND THE

    SOLAR SYSTEM
    BUENA P. CABRERA
    SUBJECT TEACHER
    OBJECTIVES:

    1. Identify the factors that allow a planet to support


    life;
    2. Compare the physical and chemical properties of
    the Earth and the other planets
    3. Acquire eagerness to save our planet
    INTRODUCTION (10 mins.):

     Review previous lesson on the Solar System:


    1. Origin
    2. Components
    3. Terrestrial vs Gas Planets
    MOTIVATION (5 mins):

     Failure to protect the Earth:


    1. Inability to recognize the
    consequence of one’s actions;
    2. Lack of appreciation of how
    truly unique the Earth is.
    What are the similarities and differences among these
    three terrestrial planets?
    INSTRUCTION (45 mins):

    Group Activity: Compare and Contrast (15 mins)


    1. Write down similarities and differences among the
    planets using the Table 1 as reference;
    2. Fill-up Table 2 – Factors that make a planet Habitable
    3. Ask a representative to present to the class
    VENUS, EARTH AND MARS:

    They are part of the inner terrestrial or “rocky” planets. Their


    composition and densities are not too different from each
    other;
    Venus is considered the twin planet of Earth; they have
    similar size while Mars is half of Earth;
    Orbital period and velocity are related to planet’s distance
    from the Sun;
    VENUS, EARTH AND MARS:

    Rotational speed of Earth and Mars are very similar. Venus


    is extremely slow;
    Abundance of liquid water on Earth, hence the blue color.
    The Earth is a habitable planet.
    TWO MAJOR REQUIREMENT FOR A
    PLANET TO BE HABITABLE:

    The star should survive long enough for its planets to


    develop life which means a medium-mass star, like that of
    the sun;
    The planet must be located in the Goldilocks Zone – a
    region in the universe where water could remain liquid.
    HABITABLE PLANET

    Being in the Goldilocks Zone due to the distance of Earth


    from the sun, the amount of heat and solar energy received is
    just enough to make the temperature of Earth neither too hot
    nor too cold. The capability of early Earth to sustain liquid
    water dramatically increased the possibility of life.
    OTHER FACTORS FOR OTHER PLANETS
    TO BE HABITABLE:

    Mercury, has low temperatures due to its slow rotation. Has a very thin
    atmosphere and not capable of capturing and maintaining the right amount
    of heat.
     Venus, is very hot caused by a lot of active volcanoes that produce a very
    thick atmosphere. The thick atmosphere makes temperature high thus
    increases greenhouse effect.
     Mars, has very little volcanic activity. As a result, it has a thin atmosphere
    and cold surface temperature.
    HOW LIFE STARTED:

    In 1952, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted an experiment that
    replicated the conditions of early Earth. They found out that life started
    in the oceans. During the extreme conditions of Earth, the organisms that
    thrived were called extremophiles. These organisms were able to adapt to
    extreme environment such as very high or very low temperatures, high
    acidity, or extreme pressure.
    HOW LIFE STARTED:

    As seen in the Miller-Urey experiment, the early atmosphere did


    not contain oxygen gas. The presence of oxygen first started when
    cyanobacteria emerged. Cyanobacteria were the first organisms that
    could produce oxygen gas through photosynthesis.
    HOW LIFE STARTED:

    But the current oxygen levels of today, were not just due to the
    cyanobacteria. It was only about 600 million years ago that the oxygen
    levels rose to its current levels. Scientists, however, are still unsure as to
    what caused the oxygen levels to rise.
    EVALUATION (10 mins):

    Imagine yourselves in an interstellar voyage. Your


    spaceship suffers mechanical problems and will be forced
    to land. Fortunately, you are passing through Tanib
    System, which is composed of a sun-like star and
    surrounded by seven planets, some of which have moons.
    Choose the planet as the best place for your spaceship to
    land. Support your choice.
    ASSIGNMENT:

    Review on the six (6) components of the Water Cycle.


    Research on the four (4) components of the Earth’s
    Subsystem
