The intention of this stage is to engage students right from the beginning, igniting their interest in the subject and creating a link between prior theoretical knowledge and real, current observations. Through this trivia search and the initiation of discussion, we aim to foster a vibrant learning environment where students take charge of their education.

Pemanasan

To kick off the lesson, explain that today we will be looking at how the Earth's rotation creates the cycle of day and night. Ask students to use their smartphones to find an interesting fact related to this topic. This could include how different cultures see day and night or historical perspectives on the concept of rotation. Give them a few minutes to find and share these facts, sparking an initial discussion that connects the topic to real-world contexts.

Pikiran Awal

1. What interesting facts did you discover about the Earth's rotation?

2. Can someone explain how the Earth's rotation causes day and night?

3. Who here has witnessed a sunrise or sunset? How does this tie back to the Earth's rotation?

4. Why is it important for us to grasp the concept of the Earth's rotation?

Pengembangan

Durasi: 70 - 75 minutes

The goal of this segment is to give students the chance to put their knowledge about Earth's rotation into action in an engaging and practical way. The assigned activities are designed to spark creativity, encourage teamwork, and leverage digital technologies, all while fostering an active and dynamic learning atmosphere.

Saran Aktivitas

Rekomendasi Aktivitas

Aktivitas 1 - 🌍 Creating a Science Vlog 🌞

> Durasi: 60 - 70 minutes

- Tujuan: Gain a practical and visual understanding of how the Earth's rotation creates the cycle of day and night, while enhancing communication and video editing skills.

- Deskripsi Aktivitas: Students will craft a vlog to demonstrate the Earth's rotation and how it leads to the cycle of day and night. They'll film short videos at various times throughout the day using their phones, showcasing the Sun's position and environmental changes. These clips will be edited together into a cohesive vlog, which will be shared on a secure platform, such as Google Classroom.

- Instruksi:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group will plan their vlog, noting the times they will film and the subjects they will discuss.

  • Students should capture short clips of 1-2 minutes at various times of day (morning, afternoon, evening), while showing Sun positions and making observations.

  • The videos must include explanations regarding Earth’s rotation and its role in the cycle of day and night.

  • Post-filming, students should utilize video editing apps (like InShot or iMovie) to compile their clips into a cohesive vlog.

  • The final vlog should be shared on Google Classroom for the entire class to view and comment.

Aktivitas 2 - πŸͺ Augmented Reality Game: Rotating Earth πŸ“±

> Durasi: 60 - 70 minutes

- Tujuan: Utilize augmented reality technology to visualize and comprehend the Earth's rotation and its effect on the cycle of day and night, fostering collaboration and discussion among students.

- Deskripsi Aktivitas: Students will leverage an augmented reality (AR) app on their phones to simulate the Earth's rotation. They will face challenges and answer questions while interacting with a 3D model of the Earth, earning points as they make progress.

- Instruksi:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Guide students to download a specific AR app related to the topic, like 'AR Solar System' or something similar.

  • Each group will explore the 3D model of Earth within the app, observing how the Earth spins on its axis.

  • As they explore, the app will present challenges and questions connected to rotation and its effect on the day-night cycle.

  • Students should discuss among their groups and answer questions to gather points.

  • At the conclusion of the game, groups should share their scores and reflections on what they learned.

Aktivitas 3 - 🧩 Coding Challenge: Simulating Rotation Movement 🌐

> Durasi: 60 - 70 minutes

- Tujuan: Develop fundamental programming skills while practically grasping how Earth's rotation results in the cycle of day and night.

- Deskripsi Aktivitas: Students will create a short simulation of the Earth's rotation using a basic coding platform like Scratch. Their aim is to develop an animation that clearly illustrates how the Earth spins on its axis and how this motion results in the cycle of day and night.

- Instruksi:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Explain the activity's objective and give a brief introduction to Scratch, a visual programming platform.

  • Each group will plan their simulation, deciding which elements to include (like Earth, Sun, a starry background).

  • Students will use coding blocks to create an animation showcasing Earth rotating on its axis and how the Sun's position changes throughout the day.

  • Encourage groups to add text or recorded explanations to enhance the simulation.

  • Upon completion, groups will present their simulations, inviting discussion on the various approaches they took.

Umpan Balik

Durasi: 15 - 20 minutes

This stage aims to solidify learning by allowing students to reflect on their experiences and gain insights from their peers. The group discussion and 360Β° feedback will promote communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills, ensuring all students gain a thorough understanding of Earth's rotation and its impacts.

Diskusi Kelompok

During the group discussion, encourage students to share insights gained from the activities. Start with each group presenting their vlog, simulation, or results from the augmented reality game.
