C.Processes Skills Understanding, Observing and Realizing
D.Science Ideas High level cloud – occur above about 20,000 feet and are given the prefix
“cirro”. Due to tropospheric temperature at these levels, the clouds
primarily are compose of ice crystals, and often appear thin, streaky, and
white ( although a low sun angle, near sunset, can create an array of color
on the clouds). The three main types of high clouds are cirrus,
cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus.
Mid level clouds – clouds in the middle level of the troposphere, given the
prefix “ alto” appear between 6,500 and 20,000 feet. Depending on the
altitude, time of year, and vertical temperature structure of the troposphere,
these clouds may be composed of liquid water droplets, ice crystals, or a
combination of the two, including supercooled droplets ( whose
temperatures are below freezing). The two main types of mid-level clouds
are altostratus and altocumulus.
Low-level clouds – are not given a prefix, although their names are derived
from “strato” or “ cumulo”, depending on their characterictics. Low clouds
occur below 6500 feet, and normally consist of liquid water droplets or even
supercooled droplets, except during cold winter storms when ice crystals
( and snow) comprise much of the clouds. The two main types of low
clouds include stratus and cumulus, which develop horizontally, and
cumulus, which develop vertically.

III. LEARNING
ACTIVITIES
A. Engagement
1.Prayer
2.Drill Arrange the jumbled words into a correct word by using the hint pictures
only

3. Motivation Show the students a mystery box and group them into two. Ask the pupils to
choose one representative per group. Have the representative’s peek inside
the box (weather map/chart). After that, they will share some ideas in their
group. Upon the teacher’s signal, the representatives will guess what they
have seen inside the mystery box.
 Comprehension Check:

1. What can you observe with the weather map or chart?

2. What do you think are present in the weather chart/map?
3. How can you describe a weather map?
4. How many low and high pressure were displayed by the
givenweather/chart?
5. Is weather map displayed the air pressure/climate change? Why?

5.Presentation Today, we will find out more about isobars and its different pressure
systems and fronts on a weather chart.

6. Setting Standard What are you going to do in performing activities?

The game called “Be the Best Observer”. The students will be group into
two with different tasks. Each of the group will choose one folder and only
have 10 minutes to answers all the questions. Then, they will explain what
they have observe to each pictures inside the folder and put it in a manila
paper. After that they will present it in front of the class like a weather
forecaster do in the television.

accompanied by fronts and in the Northern Hemisphere winds blow
around depressions in an anticlockwise direction.
