Science 8 2nd Perf Task 1-Plotting The PAR

The document discusses plotting the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on a map. The PAR is the zone surrounding the Philippines, Palau, Taiwan, and northern Borneo that PAGASA monitors for weather disturbances. PAGASA provides warnings and information when disturbances enter the PAR. Students are asked to plot points on a map to outline the PAR region and determine if example typhoons located at given latitude and longitude coordinates are within the PAR. The role of PAGASA is also discussed in relation to monitoring tropical cyclones in the PAR.

PERFORMANCE TASK 1: HIT THE MARK: PLOTTING


THE PAR
The Philippine Area of responsibility (PAR) is a zone of the Earth’s surface surrounding
the Philippines, Palau, Taiwan, and northern slope of Borneo. When a weather disturbance
enters the PAR, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration, PAGASA, monitors its activities. PAGASA will issue warnings and important
information necessary for the protection of life and property. Do you know where the PAR is? To
find this out, let’s do the following activity.

OBJECTIVES MATERIALS
 Read a map. Map of the Philippines and vicinity
 Determine whether a tropical cyclone has Pencil
entered the Philippine Area of
Responsibility based on given latitude and
longitude coordinates.
 Explain the significance of a typhoon
entering the Philippine Area of
Responsibility.

INVESTIGATE
1. Plot the following points on the map below
2. Connect the plotted points. The region within is the Philippine Area of Responsibility or
PAR. It is the job of PAGASA to monitor all tropical cyclones that enter this area.

ANALYZE AND CONCLUDE


1. If a typhoon is located at 15°N, 138°E, is it within the PAR?
