Quarter 4 Week 6 Science 5 Supplementary Slides

1 / 15

Following the sequence of the provided source material, here is the extracted content for each slide:

• Slide 1: Weather Watch: Understanding Storms and Signals This is the title slide for Science Grade 5, Quarter 4, Week 6 Supplementary Slides, presented by the Grade 5 Matatag Activity Hub.

• Slide 2: The Challenge: What is a Weather Disturbance? This slide contrasts "The Normal" (sunny and calm) with "The Disturbance" (windy and stormy). A weather disturbance is defined as when the atmosphere "acts up," characterized by low pressure, strong winds, and storms.

• Slide 3: Meet the Expert: Who is PAGASA? PAGASA stands for the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration. Their role is to be the official "Weather Watchers" of the Philippines, and their mission is to provide timely information to help people and the government prepare for calamities.

• Slide 4: What Does PAGASA Do? PAGASA has three primary functions:

  • Monitor: They watch the weather 24/7 using science and technology.
  • Warn: They issue "Tropical Cyclone Warnings" to allow for preparation.
  • Protect: Their goal is to help shield people from typhoons, floods, and landslides.

• Slide 5: Decoding the Message: Storm Signals This slide introduces the Modified Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) system. It uses numbers 1 to 5 to indicate wind strength and the "Lead Time" (how much time is available to prepare). Wind speed is measured in km/h (kilometers per hour).

• Slide 6: The Early Warnings: Signals 1 & 2

  • Signal 1: Wind speeds of 39–61 km/h; minimal to minor threat; 36-hour lead time.
  • Signal 2: Wind speeds of 62–88 km/h; minor to moderate threat; 24-hour lead time.

• Slide 7: The Strong Warnings: Signals 3, 4, & 5

  • Signal 3: Wind speeds of 89–117 km/h; 18-hour lead time.
  • Signal 4: Wind speeds of 118–184 km/h; 12-hour lead time.
  • Signal 5 (Super Typhoon): Wind speeds of 185 km/h or higher; 12-hour lead time.

• Slide 8: What Does the Wind Do? Scale of Destruction

  • Low Signal: Banana plants tilt, twigs break, and old houses may suffer light damage.
  • High Signal: Coconut trees break, large trees are uprooted, and there is widespread damage to power and water utilities.

• Slide 9: The Big Question: Is Class Suspended?

  • Signal #1: No classes for Kindergarten and Pre-school.
  • Signal #2: No classes for Elementary and High School.
  • Signal #3 or higher: Classes in ALL LEVELS are suspended. The slide advises that if Signal 2 is heard, students should stay home and stay safe.

• Slide 10: Action Plan: DURING the Storm Safety measures include staying indoors, keeping calm with family, staying away from glass windows, and turning off the main power switch if necessary.

• Slide 11: Action Plan: AFTER the Storm The procedure for proceeding with caution is to wait for the "All Clear" from authorities, check the house for damage like broken glass, and avoid danger zones like fallen power lines or floodwaters.

• Slide 12: Key Takeaways Summarizes that PAGASA is the weather watcher, signals 1–5 indicate wind strength and lead time, Signal 2 means no class for Grade 5, and safety involves preparing before, staying inside during, and being careful after a storm.

• Slide 13: Action Plan: BEFORE the Storm Preparation includes packing an Emergency Kit (food, water, flashlight, batteries), fixing weak parts of the house, and staying informed via radio or news. It also features the Word of the Day: Tranquility—the calm before the storm.

• Slide 14: Poetic Science: The Storm Cycle A three-part cycle: 1. The wind spirals down; 2. Whipping up everything now; 3. Sun comes out again. The reflection is that while storms are powerful, they always pass.

• Slide 15: Stay safe, stay prepared, and keep learning! The closing slide features the Junior Explorer's Field Guide branding and a call to like, share, and subscribe.
