1. A Detailed Lesson Plan for Science
By: John Vincent T. Villamor
I. Objectives
At the end of the period, the students should be able to:
1. Distinguish the difference between latitude and longitude.
2. Identify how places on Earth may be located using a coordinate system.
II. Subject Matter
Latitude and Longitude

III. Procedure
Teacher Activity Student Activity
A. Preliminary activities
Let us pray first
Good morning class
Checking of attendance
Please arrange your chairs and pick up
pieces of paper under your chair.
Checking of the assignment
Review of the past lesson
Objectives
Unlocking definition of terms:
(one student leads the prayer)
Good morning sir!
(students arranging and picking up
pieces of paper)
(The students recite the previews
lesson that they’ve learned)
(The students are reading the
objectives)
1. Latitude- is the measurement of a
part of the Earth in relation to the north
or south of the Earth’s equator.
2. Longitude- angular distance east or
west on the earth’s surface, measured
by the angle contained between the
meridian of a particular place and some
prime meridian.

2. B. Motivation
Class, imagine you are flying on a plane
where you can see beautiful skies,
Amazing views but how do you know
where to go? There aren’t any signs
floating in the air right? So how do pilots
know where to land there planes?
Would you like to know how?
Can you guess what is our lesson for
today?
C. Lesson Proper
Class do you know what is latitude and
longitude?
Can you tell me what is latitude?
Yes Miguel
Very good!
(The teacher will be passing a small
globe for the students to see the lines of
latitude and longitude)
What do you call the line that is zero
degrees latitude?
Latitude are parallel to the equator and
to each other. They do not meet and
they form circles that are smaller at the
poles.
If latitude is a parallel line that circles
the Earth then what is longitude?
Yes Sophia
Very Good!.
The lines of longitude are not parallel to
each other.
3. Coordinate system- is a method for
identifying the location of a point on the
earth.
We don’t know sir.
Yes sir!
Latitude and Longitude sir
Yes sir.
Sir latitude, this are imaginary lines that
circles the Earth and is parallel to the
equator.
Sir the line that is zero degrees latitude
is called the equator.
Sir the line of longitude goes up and
down. They are through the North Pole
and South pole and the zero degrees
line of longitude is called the prime
meridian.

3. You may also use this knowledge in
your other subjects such as A.P., Math,
and etc.
Now that we already know what is
latitude and longitude, I have here in
front, the lines of latitude and longitude
because this time we are going to locate
places using coordinates.
I have a scenario then you’re going to
point here in the map which place does
the coordinates points to.
Here’s the scenario you are an
investigator and you were told to
investigate in this coordinates: 20
degrees latitude and 15 degrees
longitude. Now locate it on the map
Mark.
Very good!
Another scenario: you were born a
pirate but a good pirate and you are the
protector of the seas because the sea is
your treasure and you wanted to protect
it from bad people. You received a
report that there is a poacher collecting
endangered species of turtles in this
coordinates 35 degrees latitude and 40
degrees longitude. Locate it on the map
anna.
Very good!
Now this time were going to use
directions. Here’s the scenario:
tomorrow is February 14, 2025 and its
been seven years since you last saw
your crush and then a few minutes from
now you received a call with an
unknown number and you had a
strange feeling while answering the call,
knowing it was your crush and he
invited you to go to his birthday and he
gave you this coordinates 28 degrees
North, 6 degrees West. Locate it Mary.
Very good!
Now that you already know what is
latitude and longitude and you know
how to locate places with directions
using coordinates this time, we will have
an activity and were going to use a
(Mark gets the marker and points the
coordinate given to the map.)
(Anna gets the marker and points the
coordinate given to the map.)
(Mary gets the marker and points the
location of the given coordinates.)
Yes sir! We are ready

4. bigger map, which is the world map. Are
you ready?
Very good!
Activity: the teacher groups the students
into 4-5 groups and each group will be
given a map, illustration board and a
chalk. The teacher will give coordinates
and the students will find it on the map
given to them and write it on the
illustration board. They will be given 20
seconds to answer each question.
Rubrics will be shown before starting
the activity.
D. Application
If you are going to a place that you
haven’t been before what are you going
to do and what are you going to prepare
before going to the place?
E. Generalization
Class what did you learned from our
lesson today?
What is the difference between latitude
and longitude?
What are we going to use to locate
places on the map?
What are the four directions that are
present in locating coordinates?
(Materials: World Map, illustration
board, and chalk)
Sir we learned the importance of
latitude and longitude because it is a
way to help us know more about the
geography of a place which is known or
unknown to us.
Sir latitude, this is imaginary lines that
circle the Earth and is parallel to the
equator while the line of longitude goes
up and down. They are through the
North Pole and South pole and the zero
degrees line of longitude is called the
prime meridian while the zero degrees
line of latitude is called the equator.
Sir were going to use coordinates to
locate places on the map.
Sir the four directions are north, south,
east and west.
Sir latitude goes first then longitude.

5. When we point the coordinates which
goes first latitude or longitude?
IV. Evaluation
Direction: Circle the correct answer.
1. Circle all lines that are zero degrees?
Equator international Date Line Prime Meridian
2. Which line is zero degrees latitude?
Prime meridian Equator
3. Which line is zero degrees longitude?
Prime meridian Equator
4. Lines of latitude ___________________Earth.
(go up and down the) (across the)
5. Line of longitude go through the __________________.
(North and South Poles) (Equator)
V. Assignment
1. Bring a Philippine Map
2. List the different types of minerals that can be found in the Philippines. (write in a ½
crosswise sheet of paper)

Knowledge
The group have
mastered the
lesson and scored
perfect in the
activity.
The group have
understand the
lesson well and
only got one to two
(1-2) wrong
answers.
The group needs to
study more and
they have three (3)
or more wrong
answers.
Cooperation
All members from
the group helped
each other and
showed
cooperation from
start to the end of
the activity.
All members from
the group
cooperated from
the beginning of the
activity, but some
did not cooperate in
the middle of the
activity.
Almost all of the
members of the
group did not
cooperate in the
activity from the
beginning to the
end.
Cheer Their cheer is very
good and lively and
their cheer is
related to the
lesson.
Their cheer is good
and lively and their
cheer is related to
the lesson.
Their cheer needs
more practice and
their cheer is not
even related to the
lesson.
