EEXPLORE

FEXPLAIN: 1. Has Earth ever been hit by a comet or an asteroid?

. 2. If yes, how have such impacts affected Earth?
3. How often does a comet or an asteroid hit Earth?

GELABORATE
. Write 5 superstitious beliefs that coincide with the
appearance of meteorites and comets.

HELABORATE: A near-Earth object (NEO) is any small Solar System body whose orbit
. brings it into proximity with Earth. They include about thirteen thousand
near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), more than one hundred near-Earth comets
(NECs), and a number of solar-orbiting spacecraft and meteoroids, large
enough to be tracked in space before striking the Earth. It is now widely
accepted that collisions in the past have had a significant role in shaping the
geological and biological history of the planet. NEOs have become of
increased interest since the 1980s because of increased awareness of the
potential danger some of the asteroids or comets pose to Earth.

IV. PROCEDURES

A. ELICIT: Compare the characteristics of these Near Earth Objects (NEO's),

comets, meteors, and asteroids.
B. ENGAGE See table 1. Comparison of some characteristics of Comets and
Asteroids then answer the question after it.
C. ENGAGE: Watch the video clip entitled: Discovery Channel-Large Asteroid
Impact Simulation
D. EXPLORE: 1. Fill the rectangular tray with colored flour about 3-4 centimeters
deep.
2. Place the tray on top of a table (or armrest of a chair).
3. Throw a pebble to hit the flour in the tray. Do this about four
times, hitting different parts of the flour in the tray.
4. In the space below, draw the shape of the “craters” made by
the pebble on the colored flour as:

a. viewed from the top. b. viewed from the side

F. EXPLAIN : 1. What do you notice about the shape of your pebble’s crater
and the shape of the impact crater shown in the photo?
2. What do you think happened to the plants and animals living
in the area where the comet or asteroid crashed?
G. ELABORATE
Directions: Draw and interpret the impact of an asteroid as it hits
the Earth surface. Use the rubrics for checking.

Creativity.

H. ELABORATE : Impact craters resembles the shapes of the asteroid which is

usually circular. The crater is relatively larger than the meteorites
itself because of the intensity of the impact. The immediate
surrounding during impact is pulverized by the intense heat and
force created by the impact.
I. EVALUATE : Directions: Enumerate the possible effects of a giant meteorites
smashing into the earth.

J. EXTEND: Watch the movie “Deep Impact”, state some notable scenes about
collision of an asteroid with the Earth.
