DLP-Science-9-Q3-Week 5

This document provides an overview of a science lesson on factors that affect climate, specifically ocean currents. The objectives are for students to understand how ocean currents impact climate and be able to identify warm and cold ocean currents. The content section discusses ocean currents and their role in climate change. The procedure involves an activity where students study a map of ocean currents and how they influence nearby land temperatures - warm currents raise temperatures while cold currents lower them. Key concepts are that ocean currents transport warm or cold water and air above currents takes on those temperatures, affecting nearby coastal regions.

SCIENCE 9

Quarter 3- Week 5

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standard:
The learners demonstrate understanding of factors that affect climate, and the effects of changing
climate and how to adapt accordingly

B. Performance Standard
The learners should be able to participate in activities that reduce risks and lessen effects of
climate change.

C. Learning Competency:
The learners should be able to explain how different factors affect the climate of an area.

Specific Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. explain how ocean currents affects climate;
2. identify ocean currents that carry warm and cold water.

II. CONTENT: FACTORS THAT AFFECT CLIMATE (OCEAN CURRENTS)

III. PROCEDURE
(EXPLORE)
A. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

Do Activity 6: Ocean Currents


Study the map below.

1. Study the map below.

Figure 6.1 The Ocean currents


Source: http://www.plumanities.org.uk/geography-2/higher/atmosphere/atmospheric-circulation

Figure 6.1 shows different loops or gyres of surface currents around the world. In northern hemisphere,
the current flows in clockwise direction. On the other hand, in southern hemisphere the current flows in
counterclockwise direction. These clockwise and counterclockwise of ocean currents are caused by Coriolis
Effect. Ocean currents that flow away from the equator carry warm water. The air above the warm water has
higher temperature. When ocean currents that bring cold water move towards a coastal region, the
temperature of that area decreases as warmer air from the land flows to the sea resulting to a cold climate.

When warm ocean currents that take along warm water go to a land mass, the temperature of that place
increases as warmer air above the water flows inland, resulting in a warm climate.

(EXPLAIN)
B. Developing mastery

In the activity, you learned that ocean currents also have an important role in
changing the climate of a certain area. They affect the temperature of the nearby
landmass. Warm currents that move from the equator towards the poles carry warm water.
On the other hand, cold currents that travel from the poles toward the equator carry cold
water.

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. For example, (see Figure 6.1) the southwestern parts of Singapore and Indonesia
have lower temperatures because of the cold air brought by West Australian Current. 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. For
example, (see Figure 6.1) the warm Kuroshio Current that comes from the northeastern
part of the Philippines brings warm water. This raises the temperature of places in the
southeastern part of Japan. Therefore, ocean currents that bring along cold water inland
make the climate cold. On the other hand, ocean currents that take along warm water to
coastal areas make the climate warm.

C. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

Concepts to remember!

 Ocean currents will either cool or warm the air above them.
 Cold currents bring cold water while warm currents take along warm water.
 Coriolis Effect deflects the ocean currents.

(EVALUATE)
