d. Materials: video, aquarium, soil, water thermometer Convection box
e. Concept:
The climate of the place is influenced by the surrounding bodies of water. Soil absorbs heat faster than water.
At the same time, soil releases heat faster compared to water. These slow absorption and release of heat by the
body of water greatly affect the climate. Places that are near the oceans have moderate climate as the body of
water regulates the temperature. Even as both soil and water absorb the same amount of heat, the temperature
of water rises more slowly than that of soil. Because soil heats up faster than water, air temperature above the
sea is lower than above ground during day time. Warm air thus moves out from land to sea, slowing down the
rise of air temperature above land. Thus, places without a body of water nearby tend to have higher air
temperature during day time.
At night, soil cools down faster than water, so the air temperature above ground is lower than that above the
sea. Warm air then flows from sea to land, so the drop in air temperature above ground is moderated. Places
that are far from the bodies of water have extreme climates, as there are no immediate bodies of water that will
help to circulate the movement of cold air and warm air. The reason why temperature of water rises or falls
more slowly than soil is that water has higher heat capacity. Because of this, water also absorbs more heat in
warm days and slowly releases it in cold days. That is why during summer, areas that are near a body of water
will have moderate temperature because water absorbs more heat. Similarly during winter, surrounding water
slowly releases heat causing the cooling effect lesser than normal to nearby landmass.
III. Learning Strategies
a. Activity
Task I Which is Hotter?
Instructions: The teacher prepare an aquarium that has water and soil. There is a separate thermometer placed on
water and soil. The aquarium set-up will be placed under the sunlight. After an hour or two, the temperature will be
check.
Which of the two is hotter?
Which do you think requires more heat to raise its temperature?
If an area has no water, what do you think will be its temperature?
Task II Recall of Land Breeze and Sea Breeze

Instructions: Analyze the picture. Then answer the guide questions.
How does the wind blow during day? How about during night time?
How does the present of water affect the movement of the air in coastal area?
Task III Video Presentation

Instructions: Watch the video and answer the guide questions

b. Analysis
1. How does the bodies of water affect the climate of an area near to it?
c. Abstraction
1. The climate of the place is influenced by the surrounding bodies of water. Soil absorbs heat faster than
water. At the same time, soil releases heat faster compared to water. These slow absorption and release
of heat by the body of water greatly affect the climate. Places that are near the oceans have moderate
climate as the body of water regulates the temperature . Even as both soil and water absorb the same
amount of heat, the temperature of water rises more slowly than that of soil. Because soil heats up
faster than water, air temperature above the sea is lower than above ground during day time. Warm air
thus moves out from land to sea, slowing down the rise of air temperature above land. Thus, places
without a body of water nearby tend to have higher air temperature during day time.
2. At night, soil cools down faster than water, so the air temperature above ground is lower than that
above the sea. Warm air then flows from sea to land, so the drop in air temperature above ground is
moderated. Places that are far from the bodies of water have extreme climates, as there are no

because water absorbs more heat. Similarly during winter, surrounding water slowly releases heat
causing the cooling effect lesser than normal to nearby landmass.
d. Application
Based on the discussion, why do you think coastal area such as Navotas has a moderate climate
in comparison with Tuguegarao Nueva Ecija which has highest recorded temperature?
IV Assessment
Instructions: If the statement is TRUE, draw a circle. If the statement is FALSE, change the underlined word to
make the statement TRUE.
1. Water has higher temperature during daytime because needs a lot of heat to raise its temperature.
2. Place A is coastal area where as Place B is plain farther away from ocean, therefore Place B has moderate
temperature.
3. Land heat up faster than water.
4. During night time sea cools slower than the land.
5. During night time wind blows from the land to the sea.
V. Assignment
Research about Climate and Weather.
Answer the following questions
1. How does the ocean current affect climate?
2. What is climate change?
Group 1 and 2
Task. Using a globe and flash light, demonstrate how does the shape of the earth affect the
distribution of sunlight on earth.
