So based on our activity, what do
you think is our topic for today?
Ma’am, our topic for today is all about
climate and weather.
 Very Good!

Some of you may mistake climate from

weather. But in fact, they are not the
same.

It is important to understand the

difference between weather and climate.

Do you have any idea about climate and

weather?
Yes, Ma’am!
Today, I want to see what you already
know. We will start by completing a KWL
chart on Weather and Climate.

After we've completed our charts, we will

watch a few videos and you will take
notes about weather and climate.

Is that clear? Yes, Ma’am!

(Teacher gives the KWL chart to the (Students get the KWL chart from the
students.) teacher.)

I want you to fill up first the two column

which is What I Know and What I Want to
Know. Write at least one or two things
you know about climate under the climate
heading and weather under the weather
heading. Also, write at least one or two
things you want to know about climate
under the climate heading and weather
under the weather heading.

I’ll give you 5 minutes to talk with your

group mates and write down what you
know and what you want to know.

the KWL chart.)

facts that you hear.
