Earthquake

I learned that an earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic wave. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

What we did in our class: We discuss the causes of earthquake. We also talked about the preparedness before, during and after an earthquake. We also do a earthquake drill.

I can apply my learning in case that an earthquake occur. I know already what to do before during and after an earthquake. I can also use it to thought others what to do if an earthquake occur, I will also teach them about the survival kit.

I need to learn more about the other instrument that used in detecting an earthquake except in seismograph.

Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

I learned that the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling the earth near the equator where the northeast and southeast trade winds come together.I also learned that the ITCZ appears as a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms, that circle the globe near the equator. In the Northern Hemisphere, the trade winds move in a southwestern direction from the northeast, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they move northwestward from the southeast.

What i did in our class: we talk about ITCZ

I can apply my learning in many ways. I can use or apply this in our daily life, like now there is an ITCZ in our country if you know what it is you can understands the forecasters. I can use it also in our lesson in higher grades.

I need to learn more about the hazards if there is an ITCZ.

Tropical depression

 I learned that once a group of thunderstorms has come together under the right atmospheric conditions for a long enough time, they may organize into a tropical depression. Winds near the center are constantly between 20 and 34 knots (23 - 39 mph) 

  

What I did in our class: we define the tropical depression.

I can apply my learning about tropical depression in our lesson in next grade. I can also apply this in my daily life if there is a tropical depression I know already the winds in the center.

I need to learn more about the other classification of tropical cyclones.

Energy Conservation Measures

My energy conservation measures are; unplugging appliances when it is not used for example unplug the tv when there is no watching, unplug the charger of your cellphone when it is already full, before you sleep at night if you have air conditioner timer it and turn off the light when you will leave.

What I learned is to saved energy for the future of the mother earth. When you saved energy not only the environment will affect but also us if we saved energy we can also saved money.

What I did is to saved energy for the environment and to saved the earths natural resources.

I can apply my learning in saving energy in my daily life especially at school and home. We can also apply this in conserving the natural resources.

I need to learn more about the different kinds of energy, and how its produced.

Unplug the appliances when it is not use

Rainfall Monitoring

 What I learned in our lesson in Computer Science are the following; I learned how to measure and read the rainfall using the manual rain gauge, I also learned the two (2) types of rain gauge the manual and digital rain gauge, I also learned the parts of the manual rain gauge the funnel, inner tube and outer tube.

What I did in our class are the following; I record the rain gauge everyday on my notebook I get the rain gauge in www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph, I also search the meaning of rain gauge and the diff. devices that used in recording rainfall like rain gauge and satelite.

I can apply my learnings in my daily life especially if there is an bad weather like typhoon and storm in our country, I can also apply my learning in studying in the higher grade.

I need to learn more about the different ways on how to measure the rainfall exept from rain gauge and satelite.

     Manual Rain gauge

is a type of instrument used by meteorologist and hydrologist to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period of time
