B. Motivational Activity
I have prepared a short video and understand (Students will watch the video)
what the reporter is saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wXtDhmV7QM
What have you understand on the video? (Students answers vary)
Very Good! The video is talking about the PAR The Low Pressure may enter the Philippine Area of
or Philippine Area of Responsibility! Responsibility ma’am.
So this morning we are going to plot the PAR Yes ma’am!
on a Philippine map.

city, a country, or a continent.
D. Lesson Proper
This morning we will be plotting the PAR and
try to tell if a certain tropical cyclone has
entered the PAR.
It enters the specific area of the Philippines
What do you mean when they say that a
ma’am!
tropical cyclone has entered PAR?
Very good! The Philippine Area of
Responsibility (PAR) is an area in
the Northwestern Pacific where PAGASA, the
Philippines' national meteorological agency
monitors weather occurrences.
I have here a Philippine map and each group
Yes ma’am!
will choose a representative to plot the 6
coordinates to form the PAR but that is after
you finish plotting each group.
I have prepared a map of the Philippines. I
want you to form your science groupings and
try to plot the PAR with these coordinates.
Points Latitude, Longitude
A 5oN, 115oE
B 15oN, 115oE
C 21oN, 120oE
D 25oN, 120oE
E 25oN, 135oE
F 5oN, 135oE
Present your output and explain what is Discuss the output with their group mates and the

Choose a representative to report your
answer in front. Score will be based by this
rubric.
Question 1: If a typhoon is located at 5oN, Yes ma’am!
138oE, is it within the PAR?
Question 2: If a typhoon is located at 19oN, No ma’am!
117oE, is it within the PAR?
E. Generalization
What is the importance on reading the map? We can apply the PAR for our safety and for us to
be prepared if it will enter the Philippine Area of
Responsibility.
Very good class!
