3. Preparation for the activities.
4. Show to the class a videoclip of the condition of environment changes before , during , and
after a tropical cyclone, and videoclip of storm signal 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

B. EXPLORATION;

1. Prepare the materials for the various learning activities.

2. Equally divide the class into 3 groups.
3. Then ask each group to think and observe what they are commonly see when there is a
typhoon.
4. Let each group complete weather chart that shows a description of the environment ,
before, during, and after a tropical cyclone ; Sharing of outputs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

The word weather is used to described the state of the atmosphere at a particular place for a period of
time. Cyclone is the general term for a typhoon.. The cyclone is a typhoon Which is the strongest of all
weather disturbances . It is occurs with a large , whirling mass of strong winds with heavy rains. Tropical
cyclones or typhoon affecting the Philippine usually come from the Pacific Ocean between the Marianas
Island and the Caroline Island and move generally to a west – northwest direction.
 D. EXTENSION / ELABORATION;

1.The condition of the environment changes before , during ,and after tropical cyclone.

2. Different PSWS serves as warning of the possible threats that tropical cyclone may bring.

> Before tropical typhoon occurs high clouds are observed in the sky. The air is dry and cold since most
of the warm air rises already. The relative humidity is high. The wind gently blows and scattered rain
showers may occur.

>During a tropical cyclone the sky is dark and cloudy. Heavy rainful accompanied by strong wind occurs,
Big waves are aldo observed near the cost . Flash floods may occur due to heavy rainful . Landslide may
be triggered by flash floods and heavy rains.

>Public Storm Warning Signal ( PSWS) is the strength and speed of the wind that accompanies the
typhoon is the basis of PSWS.

>After a tropical cyclone the sun becomes visible and the sky becomes clearer . There might be
scattered rain showers . Some areas may still be flooded and recovering from the typhoon. Rescue and
relief operation are also on – going . There might be an outbreak of water- borne disease influenza and
Dengue.

PSWS are storm warnings for us to take precautionary measures.They help us determine whether a
typhoon is threatening our area or not. It is also a way of informing us about the route being taken by
the typhoon.
