LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET in SCIENCE 4

Quarter 4– Competency 5- Week 5 (SY 2020-2021)

Name: ______________________________Section:______________ Date: __________

I. Learning Skills:
Identify safety precautions during different weather conditions.
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Identify safety precautions during sunny days, rainy days, windy days;
2. Tell the meaning of storm warning signals; and
3. Identify safety precautions before, during and after a typhoon.

II. Introductory Concept:

We need to know weather conditions to keep us safe. Weather helps us decide
activities done every day. Knowledge on weather forecast for the day also helps us make
necessary preparations. It also helps us what to wear.

We feel comfortable wearing light-colored thin clothes on warm weather and dark
colored thick clothes and use thick blankets on cold weather. Weather also influenced the
kind of food we eat and the activities we do every day.

During stormy weather, we are advised to stay home and take the necessary
precautions. We store enough food, prepare flashlights, candles, water and other needs in
case there is a need for evacuation.

BEFORE A TYPHOON
 Help your family check and fix your house for any damage (especially the roofs
and windows), so it can withstand the strong winds.
 Remind your family members to stock up an adequate food supply such as rice,
canned goods, and foods that would last even without refrigeration.
 Stock up an adequate supply of drinking water, and water for cleaning or other
purposes.
 Prepare flashlights, batteries for flashlights and radio, candles and kerosene
lamps, or other lighting devices.
 Prepare a first-aid kit.
 Always monitor news about the typhoon, whether on television or radio. If the
power is cut, keep a radio on and tuned in to news.
 Help check and clean your community drainage system and canals to prevent
flood.
 Check your electric posts to prevent accidents. If you notice some impending
danger due to weak electric posts that might fall, report this to the electric
company so they can reinforce it right away.
 Remind family members to cut all branches of trees around your house that could
possibly fall on your house.
 Help check all electrical warnings.

necessities, in case you have to evacuate.
DURING A TYPHOON
 Stay calm and be alert.

 Monitor the weather reports.
 Be ready to evacuate if necessary.
 Boil drinking water or have some bottled water ready.
 Have a flood plan which everyone in the family will follow when necessary.

AFTER A TYPHOON
 Have a knowledgeable person inspect electrical wiring before using electrical
appliances. It is usually advisable not to use appliances immediately after a
typhoon especially if your house got flooded.
 Check for any damage, including water pipes, and help make necessary repairs as
soon as possible.
 Boil water before drinking it to avoid getting sick.

  Wear slippers, shoes or other footwear, for protection from any sharp or pointed
