    This lesson plan covers the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) for a 7th grade science class. The objectives are for students to understand atmospheric phenomena and how the Philippines' location relates to climate, weather, and seasons. Students will learn about the ITCZ, including how it forms a belt near the equator where the northern and southern trade winds converge. An activity has students put definitions of ITCZ terms in the correct order. The lesson explains how the ITCZ affects precipitation and air pressure throughout the year as it moves above and below the equator seasonally.

    IV. LEARNING PROCEDURE
    Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
    Routinary Activities:
    Good morning class! Good morning Sir.
    How are you doing today? We’re doing fine Sir.
    I am glad you are.
    Before we start, may I know who is absent
    today? None Sir.
    Very good!
    A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting a
    new lesson (ELICIT)
    Before we move on to our new lesson, let us
    have a short review of what we have discussed
    last meeting.

    Do you still remember are lesson last meeting? Yes sir.

    What is it all about then?


    Very good. It is all about monsoons.

    And what is a monsoon?


    A monsoon is a seasonal shift in the prevailing
    wind direction, that usually brings with it a
    Correct. different kind of weather.
    We have 2 different monsoons. What are they? The Northeast Monsoon or Amihan and the
    Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.
    Which monsoon brings heavy rainfall?
    Correct Habagat sir.

    Why do you think habagat brings heavy rains?


    Very good. Because habagat passes over the bodies of
    water before it reaches the Philippines.
    How about the movement of air. How does air
    moves on a lower pressure area and high The air moves towards the LPA and away from
    pressure area? HPA sir.
    Correct.

    I think you are now ready for our next lesson.


    B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
    (ENGAGE)

    But before we proceed to our new lesson, let us


    play a game. Let us call this game “hangman.”

    I am going to show you blanks. Each blank


    represents a letter. All blanks represents a word
    or group of words. Each group will be given a
    chance to give a letter, once the letter was
    included in the hidden word, they will again
    give another letter. If the letter was not
    included in the hidden word, a part of
    “hangman” will be revealed. Make sure to
    guess the right word before the hangman
    completes. The group who will guess each
    word will earn points.

    Words/phrases:
    EQUATOR
    HEMISPHERE
    SUMMER SEASON
    TROPIC OF CANCER
    INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE
    C. Presenting examples/instances of the new
    lesson (EXPLORE)

    Okay class, our lesson for today is all about


    ITCZ or Intertropical Convergence Zone.

    Do you know Mang Tani and Kuya Kim?


    Yes sir.
    Who are they?
    Correct.
    Weather forecaster sir.
    Have you heard them say this Intertropical
    Convergence Zone?
    Yes sir.
    Do you have any idea about ITCZ?

    What is it about then? Yes sir.


    Yes it is.
    It is all about the weather.
    And for us to have better understanding about
    intertropical convergence zone. Let us define
    what it is.

    For your first activity, I want you to complete


    the definition of ITCZ using the jumbled
    phrases provided to you. The group who make
    the right definition will earn points.

    “generally near the equator”


    “is a belt of low pressure” Student answers:
    “Intertropical Convergence Zone”
    “which circles the Earth”
    “where the trade winds” Intertropical Convergence Zone is a belt of low
    “of Northern and Southern Hemispheres come pressure which circles the Earth generally near
    together” the equator where the trade winds of the
    Northern and Southern Hemispheres come
    Correct answer: together.
    Intertropical Convergence Zone is a belt of low
    pressure which circles the Earth generally near
    the equator where the trade winds of the
    Northern and Southern Hemispheres come
    together.

    D. Discussing new concepts and practicing


    new skills #1 (EXPLAIN)
    Now that we already know what is Intertropical
    Convergence Zone, let us understand how
    ITCZ starts and how it affects us over the year.
    I have here an application showing ITCZ, the
    air pressure and the precipitation which
    happens all throughout the year. Listen
    carefully because later on you are going to
    answer some guided questions.

    Now let us answer the guided questions.


    1. On what tropic does Philippines
    belong?
    2. On what month does ITCZ enters the
    Philippines?
    3. On what month does ITCZ reached its
    peak on Northern hemisphere?
    4. What happens to the area where there is
    ITCZ?
    5. ITCZ follows what air pressure?
    E. Discuss new concepts and practicing new
    skills (ELABORATE)
    Looking at the activity we did a while ago, you
    noticed that the ITCZ follows a pattern over a
    year. It goes above the equator during months
    of April and goes back at the month of October.
    Why do you think so? What is the factor that
    affects the movement of the ITCZ? It is the rotation of the earth around the sun sir.
    Excellent.

    It is the earth’s rotation around the sun which


    affects the movement of ITCZ.

    For us to have a further knowledge about


    F: Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative
    Assessment)

    G. Making Generalizations and abstraction


    about the lesson.

    H. Evaluating Learning

    I. Additional activities for application or


    remediation (EXTEND)
    Prepare for a long quiz tomorrow. Review our
    past lessons started from global warming up to
    ITCZ.

    V. Remarks
    VI. Reflection
    A. No. of learners who earned 80% in the
    evaluation
    B. No of learners who require additional
    activities for remediation who scored below
    80%
