Module 1 VOLCANOES
Activity 1 Volcanoes in the Philippines
In this activity, the students used a Philippine map to
locate the following volcanoes. Each volcano has an assigned
color that represents them. The volcanoes that the students
plotted are: Cabaluyan, Cocoro, Iraya, Kanlaon, Mayon, Pulung,
Smith, Taal, Tamburok and Urot. After they plotted the volcanoes
the students answers the guide questions. The objective is to
classify volcanoes whether it is active or inactive.

Activity 2 Under Pressure

In this activity, the students needed the following
materials: two 300 ml bottled sofdrinks, two 300 ml cooking oil,
hot water and two identical basins. After they gathered the
materials they performed the following task by filling the basin
A with hot water and basin B with cold water, they put a bottled
softdrinks to basin A and also in basin B. They wait for 3
minutes before they unscrewed the bottle cap and wrote down their
observations, they repeated the same steps but they replaced the
sofdrinks with cooking oil then wrote down their observations.
The objective of this activity is to describe the effect of high
temperature to the formation of gas.

Module 2 CLIMATES
Activity 1 When the suns rays strikes
In this activity, the students studied and explained how the
latitude affects the climate by using an illustration that can be
found in the Science module. The objective is to explain the
effects of latitude in the climate.
Activity 2 The higher, the colder

In this activity, the students used a table that shows the

different cities in the Philippines and their annual average
temperature, it also shows their elevation above sea level. The
students answered the guide questions and they concluded that the
higher the altitude of a certain place, the colder the
temperature of that place. The objective of this activity is to
explain or determine the effect of altitude to the climate.

Activity 3 Which cools and heats faster

In this activity, the students determined which cools and
heats faster, is it is soil or water. The students made a setup,
one for the heating process and for the cooling process of the
water and soil. After their observation the students concluded
that the soil heats and cools faster than the water. The students
wrote the temperature they get while doing their activity. The
objectives of this activity are to explain how the distance from
the ocean affects the climate and to compare the heat on water
and land.

Activity 4 Which should I choose, windward or leeward?

In this activity, the students examined and observed the
illustration that can be found in their science module to answer
the following guide questions correctly. The objectives of this
activity are to differentiate leeward and windward and to know
the effect of topography to the climate. Windward experiences
warm and moist air while the leeward experiences dry air.

Activity 5 Temperature of cities around the world

In this activity, the students followed the date that is
given in the table that can be seen in the module, they were
asked to explain how latitude, altitude and distance from the
ocean affect the climate. They wrote down their observation and
concluded that the given factors really affect the climate in out
earth. The objectives of this activity are to know the effect of
latitude, altitude and distance from the ocean.

Activity 6 Ocean Currents

In this activity, students studied the given table that
shows the ocean currents and their directions. Their teacher

asked them to locate or write down the ocean currents that brings
hot and cold water. They concluded that current moves toward
poles carries warm water while currents that moves toward the
equator carries cold water.

Activity 7 CO2 is the reason

In this activity, students used a graph that shows the
changes of temperature from the year 1880 to 2010. The students
observed that the temperature suffers more temperature in the
latest year than the other year. The objectives of this activity
are t interpret the relationship between carbon dioxide and
temperature.

Activity 8 Am I a climate hero or a climate culprit

In this activity, students answered some survey to know
whether they are a hero or culprit to the continuous rising of
global warming in the country Philippines, the students who got
lower than 50 are the culprits while 51 and above are heroes. The
students must apply the activities in their real life.

Module 3 Constellations

Activity 1 Patterns in the sky

In this activity, students were asked by their teacher to make
their own pattern of stars in the sky and name it and tell the
story behind it. After that they answered the guide questions.
