Prayer

“Before we start our lesson, may I request everyone to please stand for our
prayer”.
(Students will stand up and pray)
(The student A will lead the prayer)

Greetings

“Good morning class” /Checking of Attendance

Good morning ma’am/ sir!)
“Please say present if your name is called”
(The students will say present as the
teacher calls their names)

“So, how’s your morning?” “That’s good to know” “It is great ma’am/sir!”

Review of Last Discussion: (Student Answer)

“Before we proceed to our new topic for today. Who can recall the previous
 topic we had? Anyone?”

“Very Good! (Students Answer)

“So, last Monday we tackled about ocean and how does it affects the
climate change .”

“Now, what are the types of ocean current ?

(Students Answer)
“Very Good!”

(The teacher will explain further)

“So, are you ready now of our new topic?”

“Yes ma’am !”
“Are you excited?”

“Okay that’s good to hear, so let’s begin with a game.”

Motivation:

“I have here some pictures. So, what you are going to do is to guess what
these pictures tells about?

“Ok, it is about climate change and other global phenomena that we are
experiencing right now”

“Are you familiar with this term, class?”

( Students will answer )
"How about the causes of it? "

" This refers to long term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
These shifts maybe natural ,such as through the variations in the solar cycle
”

“And that’s our new topic for today”

“It about Climate change ”

Lesson Proper:

“So, what is Climate change class?

“Any idea?” (Students will answer)

“Your ideas are all correct!”

(The teacher will explain about the Climate change and the causes of it )

“What is Climate Change ?”

Widespread improvements in the quality of life of many of the world’s

populations have gone hand-in-hand with increased demands on natural
resources. The planet is struggling to keep up. Increases in the average
global temperature, and the frequency of extreme weather events are
transforming ecosystems around the world and threatening entire species
of plants and animals. Forests are drying up because there is less rainfall and
thus more fires, and the glaciers of both the North and South Poles are
shrinking. The consequences of climate change affect all of us, but to react
and adapt to these challenges, we must first understand them.
 “Do you know what are the human causes of climate change class?”
(Students will answer )

“That’s right class!”

Humans cause climate change by releasing carbon dioxide and other

greenhouse gases into the air. Today, there is more carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere than there ever has been in at least the past 2 million years.
During the 20th and 21st century, the level of carbon dioxide rose by 40%.
We produce greenhouse gases in lots of different ways such as:

1. Burning fossil fuels – Fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal contain carbon
dioxide that has been 'locked away' in the ground for thousands of years.
When we take these out of the land and burn them, we release the stored
carbon dioxide into the air. (The students will listen)

2. Deforestation – Forests remove and store carbon dioxide from the

atmosphere. Cutting them down means that carbon dioxide builds up
quicker since there are no trees to absorb it. Not only that, trees release the
carbon they stored when we burn them.

3. Agriculture – Planting crops and rearing animals releases many different

types of greenhouse gases into the air. For example, animals produce
methane, which is 30 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a
greenhouse gas. The nitrous oxide used for fertilisers is ten times worse and
is nearly 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide!

4. Cement – Producing cement is another contributor to climate change,

causing 2% of our entire carbon dioxide emissions.)

What are the natural causes of climate change?

“Any Idea?” (The students will listen)

 - Natural cycles can cause the climate to alternate between warming and
cooling. There are also natural factors that force the climate to change,
known as 'forcings'. Even though these natural causes contribute to climate
change, we know that they are not the primary cause, based on scientific
evidence.

- Some of these natural cycles include:

1. Milan kovitch cycles – As Earth travels around the sun, its path and the
tilt of its axis can change slightly. These changes, called Milankovitch cycles,
affect the amount of sunlight that falls on Earth. This can cause the
temperature of Earth to change. However, these cycles take place over tens
or hundreds of thousands of years and are unlikely to be causing the
changes to the climate that we are seeing today. (The students will listen)

2. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) – ENSO is a pattern of changing

water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. In an 'El Niño' year, the global
temperature warms up, and in a 'La Niña' year, it cools down. These
patterns can affect the global temperature for a short amount of time
(months or years) but cannot explain the persistent warming that we see
today.

- Natural forcings that can contribute to climate change include:

1. Solar irradiance – Changing energy from the sun has affected the
temperature of Earth in the past. However, we have not seen anything
strong enough to change our climate. Any increase in solar energy would
make the entire atmosphere of Earth warm, but we can only see warming in
the bottom layer.

2. Volcanic eruptions – Volcanoes have a mixed effect on our climate.

Eruptions produce aerosol particles that cool Earth, but they also release
carbon dioxide, which warms it. Volcanoes produce 50 times less carbon
dioxide than humans do, so we know they are not the leading cause of
global warming. On top of this, cooling is the dominant effect of volcanic
eruptions, not warming.

“Now, I want you to look at this video about climate change and its causes,
All you have to do is to list all the following causes of climate change and
make an advocacy on how you can help lessen the effects of climate
change”
(The students will watch the video)
Application:

Activity 1. " I’m a climate Hero "

Materials needed: Bond papers and Ballpens

Group the students into 4

Each learner will able to contribute their insights regarding on how they
understand the lessons.

Each group will have their representative to present their answers.

The more they got a highest scores will win!

GENERALIZATION :
(Students will listen)
“So what have you learned today?”

“Do you think those advocacies will help us in lessening the effect of
climate change ?”

(The teacher will wrap-up the class discussion through recognizing the
natural and human causes of climate change)

“And that’s our lesson for today, I hope you’ve learned something from
today’s discussion.”

“Any questions or clarifications?” ( Students will try to answer )

EVALUATION :

A. Identification

1. It refers to the long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns,

( Students will answer)
which can be both natural and manmade.

2. It is the purposeful clearing of forest land which has been negatively

affecting natural ecosystem, biodiversity and climate.

3. CFCs stands for ?

4. It is a type of greenhouse gas produced in landfills.

5. It is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

B. The following statements are the causes of climate change. Write M if it (Students will read )
man-made, and N if it is natural.
