&) What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the nature of Earth and Life Science. The scope of this module permits it to be used
in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The module focuses on the lesson:
e Lesson 1 — Planet Earth
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identify the characteristics of the Earth that supports life; and
2, expound how the characteristics of the Earth sustain the needs of a living
organism.

Module 1
Earth is the only place in the known universe confirmed to host life and is the only
one known for sure to have liquid water in the surface. These are reasons why planet
Earth is a unique one: (1) It has liquid water; (2) surface or lithosphere which
includes the crust and the upper mantle; and (3) It has atmosphere that shelters it
from the worst of the sun’s rays.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system that has a large amount of liquid water.
About 70% of the surface of the Earth is covered by liquid or frozen water. Because
of this, Earth is sometimes called “blue planet.” Planet Earth is habitable because it
has the right distance from the sun. It is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere,
and it has the right chemical ingredients for life including water and carbon. It can
provide water, oxygen, useful biological products for human, and has suitable
weather and climate.
Earth, Venus, and Mars may have similarities: (1) They all are terrestrial planets,
made of solid rocks and silicates; (2) They all have an atmosphere; (3) They all almost
have the same time to rotate on their axes; (4) Earth and Mars both have water; (5)
They all have carbon dioxide; and (6 All have landforms. Earth, Venus, and Mars
have differences: (1) Venus has no water; (2) Venus and Mars don’t have oxygen;
and (3) Earth has life forms.

What I Have Learned
. Planet Earth is considered habitable because of the following reasons: (1) it
has the right distance from the sun; (2) it is protected from harmful solar
radiation by its magnetic field; (3) it is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere;
and (4) it has the right amount of ingredients for life, including water and
carbon,
Earth is different from other planets in a way that it is the only planet with
liquid water on the surface.
a. Earth, Venus, and Mars may have similarities: (1) They all are terrestrial
planets, made of solid rocks and silicates; (2) They all have an atmosphere;
(3) They all almost have the same time to rotate on their
axes; (4) Earth and Mars both have water; (5) They all have carbon dioxide;
and (6) All have landforms.
a. Earth, Venus, and Mars have differences: (1) Venus has no water;
(2)Venus and Mars don’t have oxygen; and (3) Earth has life forms.
