Motivation Review students’ prior knowledge through a scenario and allow them to think.

Scenario: Imagine you are flying on a plane where you can see beautiful skies and
amazing views, but how do you know where to go? There aren’t any signs
floating in the air. So how do pilots know where to land their planes?

Lesson proper  Introduce the lesson through PPT

 Discuss the coordinate system
Abstraction Activity1: LETS DRAW!
Direction: The student will draw the simple globe map based on their learning
from the discussion and draw lines of latitude and longitude.

Analysis Activity 2: Fill Me Up!

Students will label the Earth’s coordinate system and present in class why
coordinate system is important for navigators.
Application Activity 3: Point me here!
The Student will locate the places from the Philippine map and give the latitude
and longitude.
