Detailed Lesson Plan
Learning Competency: Explain how solar and lunar eclipse occurs.
I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
a. explain how eclipse occur,
b. draw diagrams to represent conceptual representation of solar and lunar
eclipse, and;
c. recognize the significance of eclipse occurrence in the field of Science.

present as I call in your name…
So how was your day class? It was great ma’am!
a. Review
Let us first recall our past lessons…
B. Motivation
I brought here with me a flashlight,
small ball and a big ball.
Now, if I arrange this three objects n
this order— flashlight, big ball, small
ball.
Imagine the big ball as the Earth, flashlight as
the Sun, and the small ball as the Moon.
I will flash the light on the objects. What is The shadow of the big ball covers the small
formed on the surface of the Earth? ball.
What phenomenon do you think will occur on
this setup? Lunar Eclipse
Yes, good job!
How about when I put the small ball in the
center and flash the light?
Very good! Solar Eclipse
What I have shown you class, was a simple
demonstration on how solar and lunar eclipse
occurs.
C. Lesson Proper
a. Activity
In a one whole sheet of paper, (Gets one whole sheet of paper and answers
differentiate the solar from lunar the activity)
eclipse from what you observe a while
ago.
b. Analysis
And now class let me show a short Got it ma’am!
video clip about eclipse. And along
the video, I will gonna ask you a
question.
c. Abstraction
As what I have said, we are going to
learn more today about eclipses.
But prior to that, let us first unlock
these difficult words we’ll
encounter afterwards:
Eclipse – a total or partial obscuring
or blocking of one celestial body by
another and its source of
illumination.
Lunar Eclipse – it occurs when the
moon moves through Earth’s
shadow at full moon.
Penumbra – the moon’s faint outer
shadow.
Solar Eclipse – moon casting a
shadow on Earth and blocking our
view of the Sun.
Umbra – the moons’ dark inner
shadow.
We’ve got two types of eclipses:
The first one is the Solar Eclipse. It
happens when the moon is in
between the Sun and Earth blocking
our view of the Sun.
In the activity we have done earlier, Flashlight
what object represents the Sun?
How about the moon? Small ball
The Earth? Big ball
When I flash the light on the two
balls, what have you observed? There are shadows. And the shadows of the
small ball casts on the Big ball.
The dark shadow inside the two
objects is what you called the
Umbra and the faint shadow is
what you called Penumbra.
For further understanding about
Solar Eclipse we’ll be having a short
video. (viewing)
So, that is how solar eclipse occurs.
The second type of eclipse is the
Lunar Eclipse.
So, the question is, how do you
think the lunar eclipse occurs? When the Earth is in between the sun and the
Anyone from the group? moon.
Okay, very good! Lunar eclipse
occurs when the moon is at full
moon passing through the shadow
of the Earth. The alignment would
be Sun-Earth-Moon.
In the activity earlier, what have
observed to the appearance of the
moon? What is the effect of the
shadow of the Earth on the moon
as it reaches to the Earth’s shadow? The shadow of the big ball darkened the small
ball.
Yes, indeed. In short, the only
source of light of the moon at that
time is through the reflected light
from the Sun from the Earth.
For further clarifications, let’s watch
together this short video of the
lunar eclipse. (viewing)
So, that’s how solar and lunar
eclipse occurs.
Do you have any clarifications?
None, ma’am.
d. Application
Now here’s what you are going to
do.
Get one half sheet of paper and
answer the following questions.
And pass it to me afterwards. (Gets one half of paper and answers silently)
1. What are the two types of
eclipses?
2. Differentiate the two types of
eclipse.
3. Explain each type of eclipse.
Elaborate well.
