Content Standard:

The learners demonstrate an

understanding of factors that affect
climate, and the effects of changing
climate and how to adapt
accordingly.
 Performance Standard:

The learners shall be able to

participate in activities that
reduce risks and lessen effects of
climate change.
 Learning Competency:

5. Explain how different factors

affect the climate of an area;
6. Describe certain climatic
phenomena that occur on a global
level.
Code:

S9ES –IIIe-30
S9ES –IIIf-31
 Objective:

At the end of the lesson discussion,

the student should be able to:
a. Describe climate change
b. Explain how the greenhouse
gases trap heat
c. Acknowledge the effects of
climate change
Earth’s atmosphere

 78% nitrogen (N)

 21% oxygen (O)
 1% greenhouse gases
 Carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane, nitrous oxides
and fluorinated carbons
(CFCs)
Greenhouse gas increase

 Trap heat →
increase in the
Earth’s average
temp
Greenhouse gases: CO2

 Naturally occurring: volcanic eruptions, trees dying, animals

 CO2 levels have increased due to human activity
 Burning fossil fuels (coal & gas)
 Burning organic materials (trees)
 Trees absorb CO2 → deforestation is harmful two-fold
Greenhouse gases: Methane

Naturally occurring
 Has increased due to human activity
 Decomposing garbage in landfills
 Livestock
 Farming
 Coal mining
 Burning fossil fuels
Greenhouse gases: CFCs

 Chlorofluorocarbon
 Aerosol sprays
 Aircons
 Refs
 Plastic production
 Better at trapping heat than CO2
 Largely responsible for ozone depletion
 The ozone absorbs harmful UV light
 Now banned in most countries (or heavily regulated)
 Banned in PH in 2010
GROUP ACTIVITY!!!
What does climate
change mean?
 What are the
causes of climate
change?
What is climate change?

 Anylong-term
change in Earth's
climate (or of a
region or city)
 Includes warming,
cooling and other
changes
2. What is the Greenhouse Effect?
3. Which of the following are consequences
associated with climate change?
4. What can you do to help fight climate
change?
True or False: The overwhelming
majority of scientists agree that
climate change is real and
caused by humans.
