Activity 1: Compare and Contrast The Planets
MODULE 1
2. Given the data below compare Earth from Venus and Mars in terms of its features
reflected in the table. You may present your answer in any format you are
comfortable with.
Activity 2: Guess Me
Direction: Listed below are some of the possible observations that can be drawn in the
Table 1. Distinguish the statement as correct and incorrect, write TRUE for the correct
statement and FALSE for incorrect statement.
__TRUE__1. Venus, Earth, and Mars are part of the inner terrestrial or “rocky” planets. Their
composition and densities are not too different from each other.
__TRUE__2. Venus is considered to be the Earth’s twin planet. It has a very similar size and
mass with the Earth. Mars is about half the Earth’s size.
__TRUE__3. Orbital period and velocity are related to the planet’s distance from the sun.
Among the three planet, Venus is the nearest and Mars is the farthest from the
Sun.
__TRUE__4. Rotational speed of Earth and Mars are very similar. Rotational speed of Venus is
extremely slow.
__TRUE__5. Abundance of liquid water on Earth, hence the blue color. The Earth is a habitable
planet.
Activity 3
Here is another activity that will allow you to apply your learnings in this module. Fill in the
blanks with the correct word/s that would make the idea of the statement true and complete.
Earth supports life primarily because of the presence of __water__, a medium for different
life processes to occur. The characteristics of this planet contribute a lot in order for life to
continually propagate. Earth is divided into four major subsystems namely,
__lithosphere/geosphere__, __atmosphere__, __biosphere__ and __hydrosphere__ also
there are factors in order for a planet to be habitable and these are __humidity__, __air__,
water
Activity 4. Reflect
As of now, there are a lot of happenings showing life deterioration in this planet, as a student
what can you suggest and possibly do in order to help our planet to continually support life?
