A Semi- Detailed Lesson Plan in Earth Science 8

I. Objective
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
 Trace the path of typhoons that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)
using a topographic map and tracking data. S8ES-IIf-21

II. Content and Material

a. Subject Matter: Typhoon: Philippine Area of Responsibility
b. Reference: Pavico, Josefina Ma. Ferriols, et.al, Exploring Life through Science
Grade 9, Phoenix House Publishing, 2018, pages 149- 150
c. Material: Laptop, TV/Monitor, Science textbook

III. Methodology
A. Preliminary Activities
a. Prayer
b. Checking of Attendance
c. Review
B. Lesson Proper
a. Activity- Picture Analysis
The teacher will group the students into three (3). The students will be given
three (3) minutes to locate and mark the Philippine Area of Responsibility
(PAR) using the Philippine coordinates. Each group will choose a representative
to present their output.

Coordinate points

25˚ N, 120˚E; 25˚N, 135˚E; 5˚N,

135˚E; 5˚N, 115˚E; 15˚N, 115˚E; and
21˚N, 120˚E

b. Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions.
1. What was the activity all about?
2. What can you say about the location of the Philippines in the map?
3. Is the location of the Philippines affects its weather conditions?
 c. Abstraction
1. What is the Philippine Area of Responsibility?
2. Do we automatically experience bad weather when a storm enters the
PAR?
3. How typhoon formed in the Philippine Area of Responsibility?

d. Application
The teacher will ask the question.
Why should we need to track the location of the typhoon?

IV. Evaluation
Direction: Study the Severe Weather Bulletin for Tropical Storm Vinta (Tembin). Draw a
map and plot the coordinates found on the forecast position to track the path of the
typhoon.
