Science VI Competency: Describe the different seasons in the Philippines
Quarter 4
1. Discussion
Understanding the Seasons in the Philippines
The Philippines experiences two main seasons due to its tropical climate:
🌞 Dry Season – This occurs from November to May and is divided into:
- Cool Dry Season: November to February (cooler temperatures, especially in higher areas)
- Hot Dry Season: March to May (hotter, sunnier weather)
Wet Season – This occurs from June to October, characterized by heavy rains and typhoons.
These seasons are influenced by the two monsoons:
- Amihan (Northeast Monsoon) – Brings cool and dry air from November to February.
- Habagat (Southwest Monsoon) – Brings warm and moist air with frequent rain from June
to October.
Understanding these seasons helps Filipinos:
- Prepare for typhoons and floods.
- Plan agricultural activities like planting and harvesting.
- Schedule festivals, vacations, and school breaks.
2. Varied Activities
Activity 1: “Season Sorting Challenge” (Group Work / Visual Organizer)
Objective: Identify characteristics of each season and classify weather-related events.
Materials:
- Flashcards with season-related items/events (e.g., umbrella, flooding, Christmas, planting
rice, heatstroke, fiesta)
- Manila paper or chart with two columns: Dry Season and Wet Season
Instructions:
1. Students are grouped into 3–5 members.
2. Each group sorts flashcards into the appropriate season.
3. Groups explain why each item belongs to that season.
Integration: Critical thinking and collaborative work
Activity 2: “Season Watcher’s Diary” (Individual Work / Homework)
Objective: Observe and describe the current season through daily experiences.
Instructions:
1. For one week, students record:
- Weather condition (sunny, rainy, cloudy)
- Clothing worn
- Activities affected by the weather
2. At the end of the week, students write a paragraph describing what season they think it is
and explain why.
Integration: Science process skills, writing, real-life application
Activity 3: “Tagu-ulan o Tag-init? Role Play” (Performance Task)
Objective: Demonstrate understanding of seasonal impacts through role-playing.
Instructions:
1. In groups, students prepare a short skit showing a day in the life of a family during either
the dry or wet season.
2. Skits should show:
- Clothing
- Food choices
- Activities (e.g., planting, staying indoors, going to the beach)
- Safety tips (e.g., preparing for typhoons, avoiding heatstroke)
3. Present in class.
