Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is
correct and FALSE if it is incorrect. Answer
first the BEFORE Column then, at the end
of the lesson you will answer again the
AFTER Column.

BEFORE AFTER
1. Water absorbs heat faster
than soil.
2. Places that are near the
oceans have moderate climate as
the water regulates the
temperature.
3. At night, soils cool down
faster.
4. Mountain has four sides.

BEFORE AFTER
5. The area of the mountain where the
wind blows are called the windward
side.
6. Leeward side has moist air and colder
temperature.
7. Rain shadow is formed in the leeward
side.
8. The clockwise and counterclockwise
movement of water in the ocean is the
cause of Coriolis effect.

BEFORE AFTER
9. Ocean current that flow away
from the equator carries cold
water.
10. Ocean current that brings
cold water makes the region’s
temperature low.

Which cools and heats
faster? (Experiment)
Explain how distance from the
water affects the climate
Compare the effect heat on
water and land

Which should I choose,
windward or leeward? (Video
Presentation)
Differentiate windward side and
leeward side of a high land
Explain how topography affects
the climate

Ocean Currents
(Picture Analysis)
Explain how ocean
current affects the climate

1. Which absorbs heat faster, water or
soil? Why?
2. Which releases heat faster, water or
soil? Why?
3. How does bodies of land and water
affect the climate of an area?
4. Differentiate the two sides of
mountain and how do each side
affect the climate?
5. How do ocean current formed and
affect the climate?

The soil absorbs heat faster that water. At
the same time, the soil releases heat faster
compared to water.
During daytime, the air above the sea is
colder than the air above the land. The warm
air flows from land to sea. Thus, the rise of
temperature on land would be moderated.
During nighttime, warm air would flow from
sea to land making the temperature on land
higher.

 Moist wind coming from the sea flow
up the mountain. Because
temperature falls with altitude, water
vapor eventually condenses and
there is precipitation. Since this is the
side of the mountain facing the wind,
it is called the windward side.

 Formation of the clouds in the windward side
of the mountain is caused by the
condensation of water vapor.
 Since precipitation occurred in the windward
side, the wind often loses its moisture
content by the time it reaches the peak. The
wind flowing down the other side, called the
leeward side, is dry. Since it barely rains on
this side, the mountain is said to form a rain
shadow on the leeward side.

 When ocean current carries
cold water, the air above it
becomes colder. When this
ocean current moves toward
the coastal region, the
temperature of that area
becomes lower.

 On the other hand, the ocean
current that carries warm
water makes the air warmer.
When this current goes toward
a landmass, the temperature
of that place becomes higher.

Real-World- Situations
DIRECTIONS: Read the following
situations and tell your story or
insight to your seatmate. Then, be
ready to tell it in front of the class.

1. Have you ever visited Samonte park in Cavite city?
Do you know the colorful history behind this park? If
yes, then you are a certified Caviteño. Governor
Samonte Park is close to Cañacao bay. You could see a
lot of locals jogging their way throughout the whole
park and watch as the sun rise or sunset from the
nearby seawall as they call it. There are benches along
the sidewalk where you can easily rest. There are also
some vendors of foods and other things that you can
check out once you are already tired walking and
visiting the whole park. What can you say about the
temperature in the park during morning and night?

2. Study the picture below:
Pico De Loro is located between Cavite and
Batangas. It is a popular destination for mountaineers
and vacationist throughout the country. It is known
for its adventurous hike and for its pristine white sand
beach. Why do people love to have a vacation in this
kind of places?
