A. Classroom Routine
● Greetings
● Prayer
● Energizer
● Arranging of chairs
● Setting of rules
● Checking of attendance
● Review
B. Learning Stages
1. Activity
• Ask: “How do we know what the weather will be like today?”
• Show a short video clip titled “Weather Instruments Explained”
• Display a mystery bag with items or pictures of weather tools (students
pull and guess function)
• Group learners and distribute cutouts of tools for sorting: “What does it
measure?”
2. Analysis
• What do these tools have in common?
• What is the function of each weather instrument?
• Why is it important to measure temperature, wind, and rain?
• How do meteorologists use these tools to help people?
3. Abstraction
• What are the different weather instruments used in meteorology?
PHINMA- CAGAYAN DE ORO COLLEGE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
• What weather elements does each instrument measure?
• Why is weather observation important in our daily lives?
• How does accurate weather forecasting help communities?
• What would happen if we did not monitor weather changes?
4. Application
• Group activity: Create a Weather Instrument Chart
• Each group matches a tool to its function, weather element, and draw a
symbol
• Present their charts to the class and explain one instrument
• Peer rubric will be used for assessment
