ELS Lesson 1 Module 1 Student

The document discusses the origin and structure of Earth, highlighting its unique characteristics that support life, such as having liquid water, a protective atmosphere, and a magnetic field. It explains the formation of Earth approximately 4.6 billion years ago from dust and gas around the early sun and compares Earth to other terrestrial planets like Venus and Mars. The conclusion emphasizes Earth's habitability and the importance of environmental conservation activities.

Earth and Life Science

Quarter 1 – WEEK 1:
Origin and Structure of the
Earth (Planet Earth)
Lesson 1 – Planet Earth
After going through this module, you are
expected to:
1. identify the characteristics of the Earth
that supports life; and
2. expound how the characteristics of the
Earth sustain the needs of living organism.

Lesson 1
Origin and Structure of the
Planet Earth
Earth is the only planet in the
solar system known to harbor life.
Our planet’s has molten nickel-
iron core give rise to an extensive
magnetic field, which, along with
the atmosphere, shields us from
harmful radiation coming from the
Sun. In this lesson, you will
understand why this planet is
called the “living planet.”
How and when did the
early Earth form?
• Scientists now think the
Earth’s story began around
4.6 billion years ago in a
disk-shaped cloud of dust
and gas rotating around the
early sun, made up of
material left behind after the
sun’s formation.
How and when did the early
Earth form?
 Withinthis disk, gas and dust
particles of different sizes
orbited the sun at slightly
different speeds, allowing
them to bump into each other
and stick together. Eventually,
they grew from tiny dust grains
into boulders, then into
larger “planetesimals” that
ranged from miles to hundreds
of miles in diameter.
How and when did the early
Earth form?
Because these planetesimals
were larger than the boulders,
they had strong enough gravity
to pull neighboring
planetesimals out of orbits and
absorb them through collisions,
enabling some planetesimals to
grow bigger and bigger until
they reached thousands of
miles in diameter—about the
size of the moon and Mars.
Earth is the third
planet from the Sun
and the fifth largest
planet in the solar
system in terms of
size and mass. Its
near-surface
environments are
the only places in
the universe known
to harbor life.Sun

Science Task No. 1: Name the Planets
Activity 1
Just a part of the vast universe is the solar
system. From the previous concepts
learned, identify the planets in the solar
system in the given illustration.

Question: What do you think are the


characteristics of the planet Earth that
make it different from all the other
planets?
Earth is the only place in the known
universe confirmed to host life and
is the only one known for sure to
have liquid water in the surface.

These are reasons why planet


earth is a unique one:
(1)It has liquid water;
(2)Plate Tectonics; and
(3) It has atmosphere that shelters
it from the worst of the sun’s
rays.
Earth is the only planet in the
solar system that has a large
amount of liquid water. About
70% of the surface of the Earth
is covered by liquid or frozen
water. Because of this, Earth is
sometimes called “blue
planet.” Planet Earth is
habitable because it has the
right distance from the sun. It
is kept warm by an insulating
atmosphere, and it has the
right chemical ingredients for
life including water and
carbon. It can provide water,
oxygen, useful biological
products for human, and has
suitable weather and climate.
Activity 1.1 Understanding Planet Earth Compare and Contrast How is planet
Earth similar and different from Venus and Mars? Make a Venn diagram to show
your observations using the information in the table.
Earth, Venus, and Mars may have similarities:
 They all are terrestrial planets, made of solid rocks and
silicates;
 They all have an atmosphere;
 They all almost have the same time to rotate on their axes;
 Earth and Mars both have water;
 They all have carbon dioxide; and
 All have landforms.
Earth, Venus, and Mars have differences:
 Venus has no water; (2)
 Venus and Mars don’t have oxygen; and
 Earth has life forms.
In conclusion:
1. Planet Earth is considered habitable because of the following reasons:
(1) it has the right distance from the sun;
(2) it is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field;
(3) it is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere; and
(4) it has the right amount of ingredients for life, including water and carbon.

2. Earth is different from other planets in a way that it is the only planet with
liquid water on the surface.
a. Earth, Venus, and Mars may have similarities:
(1) They all are terrestrial planets, made of solid rocks and silicates;
(2) They all have an atmosphere;
(3) They all almost have the same time to rotate on their axes;
(4) Earth and Mars both have water; (5) They all have carbon dioxide; and
(6) All have landforms.
b. Earth, Venus, and Mars have differences:
(1) Venus has no water;
(2) Venus and Mars don’t have oxygen; and
(3) Earth has life forms.
Enrichment Activity
Earth Day generally falls in the third week of April. There are
a lot of great lessons about how our behavior and activity
affect others and our planet. List down ten (10) activities that
you can do to save planet Earth and identify those activities
as a form of recycling, reducing, or reusing.
