INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN IN SCIENCE

Grade Level: Seven (7) Date: May 22-25, 2023

Quarter Fourth Quarter Time Allotment: 240 Minutes
Content Standard Demonstrate an understanding of the different phenomena that occur in the
atmosphere.
Performance Standard Analyze the advantage of the location of the Philippines in relation to the climate,
weather, and seasons.
Learning Competency Accounts for the occurrence of the land and sea breezes, monsoons, and
intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)(S7ES-IVf-7).
Learning Objectives 1. Compare which warms up and cools down faster: air or water;
2. Differentiate land breeze from sea breeze; and
3. Distinguish monsoons from ITCZ.
Subject Matter Wind Systems (Land & Sea Breezes, Monsoon and ITCZ)
Concept Monsoons arise from cold high-pressure winds moving toward warm low-
pressure regions. Amihan and Habagat are the two examples of Monsoon that
takes place in the Philippines. During the dry season, Amihan or Northeast
Monsoon can be observed. During the wet or rainy season, Habagat or
Southwest Monsoon can be observed in the country. Meanwhile, the Inter-
Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) meets the tropical trade winds associated
with rainfall. The last and final wind system, which is prevalently observable in
the country, was the sea and land breeze.

Sea Breeze and Land Breeze

Due to the uneven distribution of the sun's heat on the earth's surface because of
several factors, regions in the coastal area exhibit a distinct phenomenon that
produces a particular wind system. During the daytime, land heats up faster than
the sea. Thus, the wind would blow from the sea to the ground exhibiting sea
breeze. During nighttime opposite events happens, the water in the sea cools
down slower compared to land. Land cools faster, making an uneven
temperature between land and the sea during nighttime. Because of this, wind
from land blows towards the sea, exhibiting the Land Breeze.
As shown in the drawing below, the air above the land heats faster than the air
above the sea, making the air move up as hot air moves up. When this happens,
the sea's cool air will suddenly replace the heated air that moves up from land
producing a kind of cold wind from the sea that proceeds from the sea to land. If
you are standing on the beach during the daytime, you will feel this light wind as
the sea breeze.

Figure 1. Occurrence of Sea Breeze at

daytime
When the sun goes down during nighttime,
land and the sea will both cooldowns.
However, the air above land would cool
down faster than the air above the sea. This
is because the absorbed heat from land can be released more quickly than the
heat absorbed by the sea's water. The sea eventually will possess more heat
compared to land. In this case, the heated air above the sea will rise, and the
moving air from land will suddenly replace it. If you are standing in the sea at
night, you will probably feel the cold wind blowing from the land called the Land
Breeze.
Figure 2. Occurrence of Land Breeze at
night
In the drawing shown above, there is an
arrow pointing up. This arrow signifies
that there is a rising warm air in that part.
This place where warm air rises are
regions where there is low air pressure.
In other words, that region is called Low-

Pressure-Area. On the other hand, when air is cold, it is dense and thick and
tends to sink. This place where the air is sinking possesses high air pressure,
which is also denoted as a High-Pressure-Area region. Based on our learnings,
air moves from a high-pressure area to low pressure area.
Monsoons
What do you know about Monsoon? Is it rain? No! they are not rain. They are
wind systems. However, this wind system brought tremendous rainfall to the
country; thus, many mistakenly consider Monsoon as rain. In Filipino, monsoons
are called amihan or habagat, depending on where the winds come from.
Northeast Monsoon is called Amihan, while southwest Monsoon is called
habagat.
Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
Many people confuse what this Intertropical Convergence Zone means,
especially when watching the news from televisions. However, if you know about
the idea that warm air rises and cold air goes down, it will be easy for us to figure
out what ITCZ is all about. Let us start recalling the tropic of cancer, which is
also referred to as the Northern Tropic. This is the most northerly circle of latitude
on earth at which the sun can be directly overhead. Its Southern Hemisphere
counterpart, is the most southerly position at which the sun can be directly
overhead, is the Tropic of Capricorn.
