Pupils tell something about the words formed

Review the types of clouds.

When you look up the clouds in the sky, you can tell what the
weather would be.
Clouds come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. They appear at
different types and heights too.

Introduce the lesson:

Today we are going to record weather condition based on what we observe.

B. Exploration:
1. Group the pupils.
2. Set norms in performing the activities.

Perform LM Activity Lesson 63

Activity 1: “What Have You Observed?”

1. Observe the weather elements listed on the chart below.
2. Accomplish the weather chart given to your group

Temperature
Wind Direction
Wind speed
Sky condition
Other observations

Activity 2: “What is the Weather Condition?”

Create a poem, drawing, skit, jingle, showing the weather condition of the
place/ school.
 Presentation of Outputs

Answer guide questions

Why is it important to record accurate data?

Why is it important to know the weather condition?

C. Explanation:
What are your bases in telling the weather conditions?
Why do we need to give accurate data in telling about the weather condition?

D. Elaboration/Extension:

Weather charts tell about weather components that determine weather

condition at any given time. The daily weather report you know the weather
condition.
Weather report is important. We should give an accurate data on air
temperature, wind speed, and direction and sky condition.
Observing the weather condition will help us decide the kind of activities
we will do for the day. Each one of us must care about the weather because our
work depends on its condition for each day. Knowing the weather condition helps
us to be safe and prepare for dangers and calamities.

Why is it important to know the weather condition for each day?

Why is it important to read accurate data?

IV. Evaluation:
Study the Weather Report

Ilocos Sur Fair weather condition all throughout the day. Temperature ranges from 30
degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius
Baguio City Light to moderate northeast wind. The sky will be cloudy with brief rain
showers in afternoon or in the evening. Temperature ranges from 20 degrees
Celsius to 24 degrees Celsius
Cebu City Occasional rain shower and thunderstorm in the afternoon with moderate to
strong easterly winds. Temperature ranges from 25 degrees Celsius to 30
degrees Celsius

Plot the weather chart of the above weather report by following the format below

Weather Place/ Location

Ilocos Sur Baguio City Cebu City
Temperature
Sky Condition

V. Assignment:
Listen to a weather report over the radio or watch television tonight. Record in a chart
the weather condition reported.
Bring weather forecast cut in a newspaper or data given from television.
 Detailed Lesson Plan in Science IV

I. Objectives:
Make simple interpretations about the weather as recorded in the weather chart.

II. Material:
Weather chart Pictures
Markers

References:
Science IV LM pages 285-287
Science IV TG pages 324-326

Process Skills: communicating, comparing, contrasting, analyzing, inferring

Values Integration: Being observant of the weather conditions

III. Learning Tasks
A. Engagement:
1. Let the pupils percent/report their assignment on weather report.
2. Ask:
Do you have the same weather report?
Why do you think so?
Why is there a need to listen to weather reports?

B. Exploration:
1. Group the pupils into four.
2. Assign them certain activities in the LM Activity 1- What is the Weather
Today?
Group 1 – Weather Report A
Group II – Weather Report B
Group III – Weather Report C
C. Explanation:
a. Let each group report their output.
b. Ask:
What are the data recorded in your weather chart?
(temperature, wind speed and direction, sky condition)
What can you say about the weather condition in Cebu on the indicated
dates and times?
(The weather differs on different days even at the same time.)
What can you say about the weather condition in Pampanga, Tagaytay
City and Davao City?
(Weather on these places differ.)
What can you say about the weather condition in Metro Manila, Visayas,
and Mindanao as shown in the data?
(Weather on these places differ.)

D. Extension/Elaboration:
1. Ask:
a. How were you able to come up with a certain interpretation of the
weather chart assigned to you?
(To make interpretation about the weather as recorded in the weather
chart, we have to know the sky condition. The amount of cloud in the
forecast area for the period of time will help us.)
(We also considered the temperature.)
(Wind speed and direction should also be taken into consideration.)
 b. Why is there a need for us to know and be observant of the weather
conditions?
(Weather reports are important to inform and guide people about
weather conditions which could lead to protection of life and property.
E. Evaluation:
Group Activity:
Study the weather chart and present your interpretation in a creative way.
