Earth Science - Module 2 Earth Systems - Grade 11 Q1

Do you know where do the things around us get the energy they are using? How about you? Where do you get the energy you need to do your daily activities? Do you remember what we have discussed in Unit 4? Very good! OBJECTIVES: - Names the sources of energy. - Classifies the different sources of energy. SCIENCE 2 – MODULE 6 SEIBO COLLEGE 4 Energy allows us and all the things around us to move, work and become useful. Different things use different sources of energy. Let us find out what are these sources. Let us begin with the major source of energy, the sun. Sun The sun is most important and the main source of energy on earth. It makes the day hot, dry and bright. It can also help in… a. drying our clothes b. growing of plants Do you know that the sun is a star? Yes, the reason why we could see it during day time is that it is the nearest star to our planet. Electricity Electricity allows electrical appliance work. SCIENCE 2 – MODULE 6 SEIBO COLLEGE 5 Fuel Fuel makes different kinds of vehicles move. We use different kinds of vehicles to transport us from one place to another place. Food Like what we have discussed in unit 4, we get the energy we need to do our daily activities from the food we eat.

During daytime, the sky is bright and clear because the sun shines bright. We can see clouds, the sun and sometimes there is a rainbow. The sun is the nearest and brightest star on earth, the reason why we don’t see stars during daytime because the sun overpowers the weak lights of the stars. Do you know that the sun changes its position at different time of the day? Yes, early in the morning we can see the sun rising at the East. At this time of the day our surroundings is bright but not very hot, this is the reason why many children especially new born are placed under the sun because the light coming from the sun is good for them. At noontime the sun is overhead. It is very hot at this time of the day. This is the reason why it is not advisable for us to go outside. In the afternoon, we can see the sun setting at the West part of the sky. It is said that this the best time for the children to play outside because the sky s less bright and the temperature is cooler. SCIENCE 2 – MODULE 10 SEIBO COLLEGE 5 It is during daytime we do our chores, like cleaning the house, washing clothes, going to school or office and play. What do you think the reason why we do all these things during daytime? Now, close your eyes then imagine it is nighttime already. What can you see in the sky? Open your eyes then observe the picture below. Can you see these? Very good! You can see the moon and the stars. Sometimes you can see shooting stars or falling stars. At nighttime, we can not see the sun because it is already dark, we can only see the moon and the stars twinkling in the sky. Since there is no sun at night, the temperature is cooler. This is also the best time for us to rest and sleep. Do you know that the moon doesn’t have its own light? Yes, the moon only reflects the light from the sun. Do you now understand the difference of daytime from nighttime? Very good! But the question is how and why do we experience day and night? We experience day and night because the earth is moving around its axis. This movement is called rotation. SCIENCE 2 – MODULE 10 SEIBO COLLEGE 6 When the earth continuously rotates on its axis, part of it faces the sun and the other part is dark. The part of the earth that faces the sun experience daytime and the other part that is dark experience nighttime.
