LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE

GRADE V and VI

I. Objectives
At the end of the period, the pupils are expected to:
A. describe the effects of the winds, given a certain storm warning signals;
B. act on a role playing on preparing ourselves for the incoming typhoon; and
C. appreciate the importance of heeding or listening to weather news.
II. Subject Matter
A. Topic: Describing the effects of the winds, given a certain storm warning signal
B. Concepts/ Ideas: When any Public Storm Warning Signal Number is hoisted or put in
effect for the first time, the corresponding meteorological conditions are not yet
prevailing over the locality. This is because the purpose of the signal is to warn the
impending occurrence of the given meteorological conditions
C. Processses: Observing, Describing, Identifying, Inferring, Classifying
D. References: Teacher’s guide, Learner’s material, YouTube

1. Word Drill

I have here a flash card. Pick one and read the TYPHOON STORM SIGNALS
word written on it. Make sure that everybody WINDS FLOOD
can hear.

2. Unlocking of difficulties

Kph – Kilometers per hour

PAGASA- Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Service Administration

“Before we proceed to our next topic let me check first

if you are familiar with some terms .”

2
(Teacher will flash ‘Kph’) (Pupil will raise his hand; “Kph stands for
Kilometers per hour.)

“Correct!” (Pupil will raise his hand; “PAGASA stands

for Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
(Teacher will flash PAGASA) Astronomical Service Administration.”)

“Excellent!”

3. Review “Our topic yesterday was about the effects of

typhoon.”
“What was our topic yesterday?”
(Pupils will give various answers like.

“What are the effects of typhoon?” *Typhoon can destroy buildings and houses
*Typhoons can also affect the natural
environment, and cause harm to trees and
other vegetation, including crops that
communities may rely on for sustenance or
trade, or both.)

(Pupils will give various answers like;

“Very well said! What are the things you need to *In case there is a typhoon we need to prepare
prepare in case there is a typhoon?” our First Aid kits, Extra batteries for
flashlights and mobile phones, Store food,
Packed clothes in case of evacuation and a
clean and safe drinking water.)

“Very Good!”

4. Motivation

“Do you always watch the news or listen to a radio “Yes ma’am!”
broadcast whenever there’s a typhoon?”

“Great, if that so, I assume that you’ve heard of storm “Yes ma’am!”
signals?”
“The storm signals are signal number one,
“So what are the storm signals?” storm signal number two, storm signal
number three, storm signal number four and
storm signal number five.”

“Very good! now I will show you pictures of places

affected by different typhoons; I want you to describe
what you see on the picture and try to guess the signal
that was raised. Are you ready?” “Yes ma’am!”
(teacher will show this picture)

(Pupil will raise hand and say;

“On the picture some trees were uprooted

 from the ground also lots of leaves are
scattered. It looks like the wind during that
time was really strong but I’m guessing that
the signal for that place is Signal 1.”)

(Teacher will reveal if the guess of the pupil is correct.)

“Great job! this place is in Isabela Cagayan. Their place

was affected with typhoon Lawin.”

(Teacher will show the second picture.)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“On the picture there are banana tress
uprooted on the ground. I think it’s in signal
2.”)

“Correct! This picture shows the signal number 2 of

typhoon Lando in a particular area in the Philippines.”

(Teacher will show the next picture)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“Based on the picture some light posts are
“Great observation and you are correct! Now I will down and there are uprooted trees. I’m
show you another picture.” guessing that it’s in signal 3.”)

(Pupil will raise his hand and say;

“Very good! this photo shows the damage that was “Based on the picture there are a lot of
made by Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban City. It is the damages like even houses made of concrete

“Great job!”

(Teacher will show the last picture.)

(Pupils are listening)

“The place looks very devastating, there are

no houses seen on the picture and all of the
trees are uprooted. I guess it’s in signal
“Correct! So far Philippines has not yet experienced a

5. Presentation

“Our lesson for today is all about Describing the Effects

of the winds, given a certain storm warning signal.”

(Teacher will post this chart.)

“Why do we have storm signals?” “Storm signals warns us on how strong the
typhoon that will come in a specific place.”

“It indicates that winds of 30-60 kph is

“Very good! what would be the impact of the wind?” “No damage to very light damage.”

“How about when signal number two is raised? What “If signal number two is raised it indicates

“Light to moderate damage to the exposed

trees may be uprooted, many banana plants
may be downed, and old galvanized iron

may be expected in at least 18 hours.”

“Very well said! How about in signal number three?

What does it indicate?”
“Many coconut trees may be broken or
destroyed.
“Very good! what is the impact of the wind?” Almost all banana plants may be downed and
a large number of trees may be uprooted.
Rice and corn crops may suffer heavy losses.
Majority of light material houses may be
unroofed or destroyed. There may be
considerable damage to structures of light to
medium construction.
There may be widespread disruption of
electrical power and communication services.
In general, moderate to heavy damage may be

and industrial sectors.”

 2. Groupings of Pupils

Group 1 – News reporting about Storm warning signal

Group 2 – Role playing on how you’re going to prepare

if there’s a typhoon.

“Class, we are going to perform a group activity. So, I

will divide you into two groups, let’s start counting
from the left side. Start counting: 1,2……. Alright. each
group should stay in their assigned table. I will discuss
to you what will be your activity for today. Do you
understand?”

“Group 1, you are going to perform a news reporting

based on our lesson about the storm warning signals,
you’re going to give us information about the typhoon
and give us warnings if it is signal 1,2,3,4 or 5. Do you
understand?”

“Group 2, you are going to make a scene on preparing

for the incoming typhoon. Show us the right things to do
on how to be prepared. Do you understand?”
“I will give you five minutes to prepare. We are going
to start after five minutes”

3. Giving of Activity Sheets

I have here some materials that you can you.

May I request a representative to get your
materials here in front.

before dawn on Friday, December 15, as it

Island. In a bulletin issued 5 am on Friday,
state weather bureau PAGASA said Urduja
now has maximum winds of 75 kilometers per
hour (km/h) from the previous 65 km/h and
gustiness of up to 90 km/h. Due to Urduja's
extremely slow movement, its expected
landfall has been pushed back to either
Saturday morning or

meanwhile, is still up in: Catanduanes,
Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Romblon,
Leyte, Southern Leyte, Northern Iloilo,
Aklan, and Dinagat Islands. PAGASA warned
that Urduja is bringing moderate to heavy rain
within its 500-kilometer diameter. Residents
of provinces in the tropical storm's path must
prepare. Always remember, that the person
who is prompt is definitely safe. Again,
you’re watching News Tv. Thank you for

Match each typhoon signals with their

corresponding speed of the wind.

Signal No. 1 60kph-100kph

Signal No. 2 30kph-60kph
Signal No. 3 185-220kph
Signal No. 4 more than 220kph
