B. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
 When you hear about season? What comes into your mind?
 What kind of season does the Philippines have?
 What are the different season in another countries?
 What causes this different season?
 Is it possible to the Philippines to have this seasons too?

2. Presentation
The Earth is constantly moving. It orbits the sun once a year and spins on its axis once
every 24 hours. As the earth orbits the sun, the days change. The lengths of the day change and
the temperature change. These movements of the earth cause the seasons to change. Because
the earth’s axis is tilted with regard to the earth’s orbit, each pole is turned toward the sun for
part of the year and turned away from the sun the rest of the year.
The seasons north of the equator are always opposite of the seasons south of the
equator. When it is summer in the North Hemisphere, the North Pole is turned toward the sun
and it almost has continuous sunlight.
In other countries nearby, the sun shines longer every day. The sunlight seems hotter
than it does at other seasons. At the South Pole, however, it is winder and there is almost
continuous night because it is turned away from the sun. Countries at the Southern Hemisphere
have shorter days and the sun seems low in the sky.
But for countries at the equator, it is always summer, it is the same hot weather
throughout the year. It receives the same amount of sunlight all year long- about 12 hours long
for both day and night. In the tropics like the Philippines, there are only two distinct seasons,
the dry and the rainy season. Dry season has hotter, humid days. The summer sun is higher in
the sky and shines down more directly on the earth, making heat and light more concentrated.
The days are longer, which gives the sun more time to heat the earth. During the rainy season,
the Philippines has rainfall and it’s frequently visited by typhoons.
During the earth’s revolution around the sun, temperate countries above and below the
equator experiences four seasons- winter, spring, summer and autumn or fall. The suns
highest position in the sky (high noon) changes with the seasons. In the Norther Hemisphere,
the spring equinox comes on May 21. Equinox means the length of the day equals the length of
the night. As the earth moves, the sun seems to climb higher in the sky. The hours of daylight
become longer every day. The summer solstice comes around about June 22. Solstice means
“sun stand still”. At this point, the North Pole tilts directly towards the sun.
Again, as the earth moves away from this point, the days gradually become shorter. Fall
equinox happens on September 23 when the nights are as long as the days. Then, the North
Pole tilts away from the sun. The sun seems low in the sky at noon. Days are short and nights
are long.
Winter arrives with the winter solstice on December 22. In the Southern Hemisphere,
the seasons are exactly opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere.

3. Developmental Activity
The students will be grouped into 4, they will choose their leader and we will play a
game called, “pass the message”. All the group will have one question to answer and they will
whisper the answer to their groupmate, the last one who receives the answer will run to the
board and will write the answer. The group who finishes first will be the winner.
C. Discussion
1. As the earth revolves around the sun, the lengths of the days and temperate
change. Seasons change too.
2. In temperate countries, how many season they have?
3. What seasons are those?
4. At the equator, it is always summer. It receives the same amount of sunlight all
year long.
5. How many season does the Philippines have?

D. Generalization
 Movements of the earth cause the seasons to change because the earth’s axis is
tilted with regard to the earth’s orbit.
 During the earth’s revolution around the sun, temperate countries above and
below the equator experiences four seasons- winter, spring, summer and
autumn or fall.
 Equinox means the length of the day equals the length of the night
 Solstice means “sun stand still”.

E. Application
True or false. (Oral Recitation)
1. In temperate countries, there are changes in seasons from spring, summer, winter and
fall.
2. Solstice means equal days and equal nights.
3. It is always summer at the equator because it receives the same amount of sunlight the
whole year round.
4. The solstice of the earth affects the lengths of the days and temperature on earth.
5. The seasons north of the equator are always opposite of the season of the equator.
IV. Evaluation

Identify the following. Write your answer on the paper.


1. This season in the Philippines has hot, humid days since the days are anger.
2. It means equal days and equal nights.
3. It means “sun stand still”.
4. As this time of the day, the sun is as its highest position in the sky.
5. This movement of the earth causes changes in season at different places of the earth.

V. Assignment:
If you are able to choose, will you live in a temperate region of the earth or will you remain
in this tropical region? (10pts)
