    Module Introduction
    Dear Boys and Girls,

    We are happy to share with grade four pupils like you this learner's material.

    As we embark on the K to  12 Basic Education Curriculum, we would like to inform you that the
    Science Basic Education Curriculum promotess the development of the 21st century skills
    among Filipino learners.

    The lessons and activities provided in this learner's material were developed to help you become
    hands-on, minds-on learners. The activities that you are going to do can help you learn the
    essential science concepts and skills through learning by doing. The activities are fun, simple yet
    will allow you to think critically.

    With the guidance of your science teachers, the activities in these materials will support you in
    the development of your own understanding of the different science concepts, skills and attitudes
    so you can better understand yourself and the world around you.

    The knowledge you will gain as you do the activities presented in this material will enable you to
    practice and apply the process skill such as predicting, observing, classifying, hypothesizing,
    experimentingand communicating.

    Enjoy this learner's material and together, let us appreciate,preserve, and protect the world
    around us while learning, appreciating, and applying science.

    Use weather instruments and describe the different weather components in a


    weather chart

    Weather Instruments
     A THERMOMETER measures the air
    temperature. Most thermometers are
    closed glass tubes containing liquids
    such as alcohol or mercury. When air
    around the tube heats the liquid, the
    liquid expands and moves up the tube.
    A scale then shows what the actual
    temperature is.

     A BAROMETER measures air pressure. It


    tells you whether or not the pressure is
    rising or falling. A rising barometer means
    sunny and dry conditions, while a falling
    barometer means stormy and wet
    conditions.
     An Italian scientist named Torricelli built the first barometer in 1643.

     A SLING PSYCHROMETER measures relative humidity, using the


    cooling effect of evaporation. Two thermometers are used in a sling
    psychrometer. Wet the cloth of one
    of the thermometers and swing the
    psychrometer around a few times.
    Water evaporates from the cloth,
    causing the temperatures on that
    thermometer to be lower than the
    other.

     A RAIN GAUGE measures the


    amount of rain that has fallen over a
    specific time period.

     A WIND VANE is an instrument


    that determines the direction
    from which the wind is blowing.
     An ANEMOMETER measures wind speed. The cups catch the wind,
    turning a dial attached to the instrument. The dial
    shows the wind speed.

     A WIND SOCK is a conical textile tube, which resembles a giant sock,


    designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed.

     WEATHER MAPS indicate atmospheric


    conditions above a large portion of the
    Earth’s surface. Meteorologists use
    weather maps to forecast the weather.
     A HYGROMETER measures the water vapor content of air or the
    humidity.

     A WEATHER BALLOON measures
    weather conditions higher up in the
    atmosphere.

     A COMPASS is a navigational instrument for finding directions.


     WEATHER SATELLITES are used to photograph and track large-scale
    air movements. Then meteorologists
    compile and analyze the data with
    the help of computers.

     YOUR EYES are one of the best ways to help detect the weather.
    Always keep an eye at the sky and
    you’ll usually be on top of weather
    conditions.
