Content Standards
The learners demonstrate understanding of factors that affect
climate, and the effects of changing climate and how to adapt
accordingly.

Presentation
Class, today we are going to explain how different factors
affect the climate of an area. (S9es-IIIe-30)
Subtask:
1. Differentiate Weather and climate
2. Explain how latitude affects climate
Note: In order for the students to master the skill to
explain, the teacher will give examples and define.
(Integration in English subject).
Drill
Class, today we will explain how different factors (Latitude
and altitude) affect the climate of an area.
These are the different elements of weather that interact
with each other to create the weather events.
*Give positive feedback/praise the students who can answer
and give points.
Introduction
Take a look outside your window, is it rainy or sunny? is it
cloudy or hot? When you look out the window, you’re seeing
what the weather is today.
Climate, on the other hand, is more than just warm or cool
days. Climate describes the typical weather conditions in an
entire region for a very long time.
Weather is the current condition for a shorter period of time
while climate is the condition for a longer period of time.
Latitude means how far north or south of the equator a place is
located.
Based on latitude, the climates of the world are classified into
three types. They are
 the polar climate or frigid zone (at the North and South
Poles),
 the temperate climate or Temperate zone (found in the
areas away from the equator) and
 The tropical climate or Torrid Zone (at the equatorial
belt).
1. Developmental Activities
1. Activity
Activity 1: When the Sun’s Rays Strike
1st Group:
Q1. What is Latitude?
Q2. How much is the tilt of the Earth axis?
Q3. How does Latitude affect the climate of an area?
2nd Group:
Q1. Which part of the earth receives most of the sun’s rays?
Q2. Why are the coldest places on Earth found near the poles?
Q3. How does Latitude affect the climate of an area?
3rd group:
Q1.Why does the amount of heat received by places far from
the equator become less?
Q2. Why are places with high temperature found at the
equator?
Q3. How does Latitude affect the climate of an area?
2. Analysis
During analysis, the students their answers by group.
The teacher discusses the activity and relates the topic to the
other subjects.
Math- Degree of tilting of the Earth
Araling Panlipunan- Location of places
ESP- ang buhay ay weather-weather lang.
3. Abstraction
The teacher will abstract the lesson
1. Differentiate Weather and climate
Weather is the current condition for a shorter period of time
while climate is the condition for a longer period of time.
2. Explain how latitude affects climate
You noticed that as Earth is ilted on its axis an angle of 23.50.
As the sun’s rays strikes different part of the Earth receive
different amount of solar radiation. Thus, the climate of a place
also affects the distance from the equator. At the poles, since
energy from the sun reaches Earth’s surface at lower angle and
travels through a thicker layer of the atmosphere than at the
equator, it is expected that the climate is cooler.
As the latitude increases, the smaller the angle of the sun;s rays
strike the surface. Therefore, when the area is farther from the
equator, the air temperature is lower. When the place is closer
to the equator, the air temperature is higher.
4. Application
Application:
Long Term or Short Term
Direction: Differentiate the pictures below. Write X under the
column of Climate if it shows climate, (a long – term
atmospheric condition of a certain area. And write ⁄ under the
column Weather if it describes weather( a short term of
atmospheric condition of a certain area (typically within a
week or less).
Guide question:
a. The difference between climate and weather is that,
Climate is the weather patterns of a place over a
_______ period of time while weather is the condition of
the atmosphere over a period of time.
Assignment
b. Explain how does latitude affects the climate of an
area?
Answer the following:
1. Compares the climate of the places near and far from
bodies of Water,
2. Explains how ocean currents/bodies of water affects
climate.
