3. Motivation
STORY TIME! (Class activity - 7 minutes)
Mr. Sunshine used to enjoy weather changes. Sometimes, he is out of the
people's sight when he comforts Mr. Nimbo, the cloud who cries heavily when his pets:
Thunder and Lightning, escape from their fluffy home. Mr. Nimbo brings rain to the

land; it waters the life who needs it, like plants, flowers, and crops. One day, Mr.
Sunshine is confused. He sweats more often. Ms. Windy seems off lately as she blows
hot winds. The ozone layer slowly becomes thinner as time goes by. He had a question
mark on his head since this continued to happen for a long time. What do you think
caused Mr. Sunshine to experience the changing climate?
Instruction: Think of any word you can associate with climate change and help Mr.
Sunshine find out its cause. Fill in the box provided.

 The student should justify their word choice and why it relates to climate
change.
 By this activity, the student must be able to guess the topic.

4. Lesson Proper

Activity (Picture Analysis – group activity)

 The class will be divided into three (3) groups. Each group must
have 1 to 2 speakers to narrate their analysis including its cause
and effect.
 The teacher will present a PowerPoint slide that contains 3
different doors. Each door corresponds to a picture related to
climate change.
 Each group will be given 1 minute and 30 seconds to brainstorm
in their respective group chat and 2 minutes will be allocated to
deliver their answer.

Analysis
The teacher will ask the following question to the students:
1. What is climate change?
2. What causes climate change and its impact to biodiversity?

Abstraction
What is climate change?

Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place. This could
be a change in how much rain a place usually gets in a year, or it could be a change
in a place's usual temperature for a month or season. Climate change is also a change
in Earth's usual temperature, or it could be a change in where rain and snow usually
fall on Earth.

Natural Climate Change

The earth’s climate is influence and changed through natural causes like
volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, Earth’s orbital changes, solar variations, and
internal variability.

Volcanic Eruptions - The main effect volcanoes have on the climate is short-
term cooling. Volcanic eruptions pump out clouds of dust and ash, which block out
some sunlight. Because the ash particles are relatively heavy, they fall to the ground
within about three months, so their cooling effect is very short-lived. But volcanic debris
also includes sulfur dioxide. This gas combines with water vapor and dust in the
atmosphere to form sulfate aerosols, which reflect sunlight away from the Earth’s
surface. These aerosols are lighter than ash particles and can remain in the
atmosphere for a year or more.
Ocean currents - The oceans are a major component of the climate system.
Ocean currents are located at the ocean surface and in deep water below 300 meters
(984 feet). They can move water horizontally. and vertically and occur on both local
and global scales. The ocean has an interconnected current, or circulation, system
powered by wind, tides, the Earth’s rotation (Coriolis effect), the sun (solar energy),
and water density differences. The topography and shape of ocean basins and nearby
landmasses also influence ocean currents.
Earth orbital changes - Shifts and wobbles in the Earth’s orbit can trigger
changes in climate such as the beginning and end of ice ages but orbital changes are
so gradual, they’re only noticeable over thousands of years – not decades or centuries.
Changes in the tilt of the earth can lead to small but climatically important changes in
the strength of the seasons, more tilt means warmer summers and colder winters; less
tilt means cooler summers and milder winters. Slow changes in the Earth’s orbit led to
small but climatically important changes in the strength of the seasons over tens of
thousands of years.
Solar variations - The Sun is the source of energy for the Earth’s climate
system. Although the Sun’s energy output appears constant from an everyday point
of view, small changes over an extended period can lead to climate changes. Some
scientists suspect that a portion of the warming in the first half of the 20th century was
due to an increase in the output of solar energy. For instance, a decrease in solar
activity was thought to have triggered the Little Ice Age between approximately 1650
and 1850, when Greenland was largely cut off by ice from 1410 to the 1720s and
glaciers advanced in the Alps.
Internal variability- Some changes in climate have no external trigger. These
changes are instead caused by interactions within the climate system itself, often
involving positive feedbacks. One example is the El Niño–La Niña cycle, which can
cause temporary warming and cooling. Both phenomena affect atmospheric
circulation patterns and influence global climate. While El Niño increases global
temperature, La Niña decreases it. This cycle repeats itself on a timescale of about
five years. But these changes are short-term, only lasting a few years.
Anthropogenic Climate Change
This refers to the changes in Earth's climate that are caused by human
activities. It includes:
 The burning of fossil fuels for transport, industry, and power, producing
carbon dioxide and leading to global warming

 lOMoARcPSD|17096460

 Worldwide deforestation, sometimes involving rainforest burning, which

also produces carbon dioxide
 Car exhausts, nitrogen fertilisers and power stations producing nitrous
oxide.
 CFCs found in fridges, air conditioning and aerosols, and as a by-product
of the production of polystyrene packaging
 Methane, produced from rice fields, landfill sites and from both ends of
cattle; because methane is a stronger greenhouse gas, small increases
have a larger impact on climate change.

Application

 The class will be instructed to open this link:

https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/573486b54bce2019c3c3d36a/climate-
change. Quizizz is a game-based learning platform to test the knowledge
of students to distinguish what is natural and anthropogenic climate
change.
 The student can see his/her ranking in the leader board. The ranking is
based on the number of correct answers obtained by the student. Rank
1 to 3 will be given a reward.

IV. Assessment
 Students can access the assessment through this google form link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Vm0K7wNSzG9LlrPSs__xoXuNuuiw
20AE6LgxfoVGhXs/edit.
 The student cannot edit his/her answer once the quiz is submitted.

V. Assignment
 The Let the Earth Breathe campaign went viral on social media when
several scientists were detained and were anxious to inform and warn
people about the climate issue, warning that we only have four to five
years left before the worst things may occur if we do not act.

Instruction: Create a digital infographic on how to mitigate the changing

climate. Let us help the scientist spread awareness about this
environmental concern by uploading your output on your social media
with a caption related to your work.
