Yes, ********

Pupils Activity

Good morning Maam Antonette.

The pupils will pick the papers on
the floor and they will arrange their
chairs

Thank you maam.

Review

Our topic last meeting was all

about difference between intensity
and magnitude of earthquake.

 Very Good, ********

What is intensity?
Yes *********.

Very good ********.

What do we use to measure the
intensity of an earthquake? Yes
******?
Nice one ********.

Intensity is the measurement of

the damage caused by an
earthquake

We use Rossi-Forel Scale of

Earthquake Intensities.

On the other hand what is

magnitude? Yes********.

Magnitude is the amount of

energy released by an earthquake.

Very good ******. And what scale

do we sue to determine the
magnitude of an earthquake? Yes
*******.

We use Richter magnitude scale

maam.

Very good. Ill show two tables

and identify which table shows
the scale for intensity and for
magnitude. Yes **********.

The student will choose the

respective table for intensity and
magnitude scale.

Very good. What is now the

difference between intensity and
magnitude of an earthquake? Yes
***********.

Very good *********. Its

wonderful that you have fully
understood our topic yesterday.

The difference between intensity

and magnitude is that intensity
tells us about the damage done by
the earthquake while magnitude
refers to the energy released by
the earthquake.

C.

Motivation
Motivation

Well done class, lets now discuss

our next topic. But before that, Ill
show you a video and you
observe keenly.
The teacher will show to the class

Okay maam

the video.

Based from the video that youve

watched what did you observe?
Yes *******

Good observation *******

Another?
Yes, *********
Very good *******

I observe maam that there are

many buildings and houses that
are destroyed.

I had observed maam that there

are dead people.

Another one, Yes *********

Very good observation *******

What is the situation of the
people in the video presented?
Yes *******.

I observe maam that the ground

has a huge crack.

Very good. So what we must do

for them?
Yes ********.

Very good ******. The very first

thing we can do for them is to
pray. Aside from simply saying
our prayers we must also help
them by giving their needs in our
simple and doable ways.

The people there need help.

We must give them relief goods

such those used clothes and other
needed materials for them to
survive. Most importantly we must
pray for them.

D. Lesson Proper

All of your observations are

correct. Your observations are
related to our topic this morning.
But before that let us read first
our objectives.
Who wants to read our
objectives?

Lesson Proper

At the end of the forty-five minutes

period the learners are expected to:

a. describe how earthquake affects

the environment;
b. demonstrate awareness of the
effects of earthquake on the
environment; and
c. give the importance of studying the
effects of earthquake.

Yes, ********

Thank you *******

In order for us to know what our
topic is all about Ill show you a
picture.
The teacher will show a picture.

What can you see?

Yes *******
Nice observation ********

Theres our planet earth maam

Another observation, yes

*********

Very well said *******

There are many pictures of

damaged buildings, houses and
even a very huge wave maam

From those observation, who can

tell what our lesson is for today?
Yes, *********

Earthquake maam.

Hmmm. Almost there ****** but

still needs refining of idea.
Another, yes, ********

Effects of Earthquake maam.

Earthquake maam is the strong

and sudden shaking of the ground.

Well said ********. Thats our

topic for today. But to be more
specific our topic is all about
effects of earthquake to the
environment.

Since our topic for today is all

about the effects of earthquake.
Who can give me a description or
definition of what an earthquake
is? Yes **********.

Very good ********. Earthquake is

the strong and sudden shaking of
the ground due to the movement
of the crustal plates.
Since we know what an
earthquake is. Have you ever
watch news about earthquakes in
the television?
Oh thats nice because you are
watching news. Do you observe
some effects of the earthquake?

Can you give me one? Yes

********.

Well said *****. Earthquakes

results to landslides. (The teacher
will show a picture of a landslide
due to the earthquake.)

What do you think is the reason

why do during an earthquake
landslide happens? Yes *********?

Very good *******. Landslides

happen during earthquake
because the loose rocks and soil
along the mountainside will erode
due to the movement of the
earths crust.

What other effects have you

observe specially on the ground?
Yes ******.

Yes maam.

Yes maam

I observe in the news maam that it

causes a landslide.

Landslide happens during

earthquake maam due to the
movement of the ground. Such as
in the mountains. The side of the
mountain may erode due to the
movement.

Theres a huge opening or crack on

the ground maam.

Maam, there are huge openings

because of the movement of the
crust. The ground may split or
open maam if the earthquake is

Good one ******. Who among you

here knows why there are huge
openings or crack of the ground?
Yes ********

Good idea ********. Remember

class that earthquake is the
sudden release of the earths
interior energy. So when this
happen during a very strong
earthquake the ground may be
lifted up or be separated and this
will cause the opening of the
ground.

Another idea about the effects of

the earthquake from the news
you have heard. Yes **********.

Very good ********. Strong

underwater earthquakes may
cause tsunami. But by the way
what is a tsunami? Yes ******.

Very good *******. A tsunami is

very huge wave generated by an
earthquake. (The teacher will
show a picture of a tsunami.)
Tsunami is a Japanese term which
means literally harbor waves.

There are other effects of

earthquakes as what you have
observed in the video I presented
awhile ago. Who can give other
effects, this time on the people
and other living organism? Yes
**********.

Very good *********. When an

very strong.

I also observed from the news

maam that earthquakes may
cause tsunami.

Tsunami maam is a very huge

ocean wave created by an
earthquake.

Earthquake can destroy the

habitats and dwelling places of
living organism specifically
humans. When houses and
buildings are destroyed.

earthquake hits a certain place it

can destroy the habitats and
dwelling places of living organism
such as humans. Our houses and
building will be destroyed. On the
other hand the animals habitat
also will be destroyed during a
tsunami and landslide specifically
those animals which are land
dwelling.

Another effect of earthquake to

living organism. Yes ***********

Very good********. Why do

earthquakes cause death to living
organism specifically humans?
Yes *********.

Good idea *********. One of the

most devastating effects of
earthquake is when our loved
ones died. When our houses are
destroyed we feel sad. But when
we lost even a single loved one it
is sadness which we could not
explain. We can build our houses
and building back. We can even
build better ones. But if we talk
about the lives lost during an
earthquake. It is the only effect of
earthquake and any other
calamity that could never be
rebuilt. When life is lost we could
no longer regain it.

Anyways, so much for the

sentimental moments. Aside from

Earthquake can cause death to

living organism maam specifically
to humans.

Earthquake can cause death to

humans maam due to the fact that
during many humans are trapped
when buildings and houses
collapsed. They may also be
drowned when a tsunami occurs.

Yes maam there is.

Earthquake maam is the reason

why we have different land
formations due to the movement of
the land.

those negative effects of an

earthquake. Thus earthquake has
a positive and beneficial effect?
Yes ********.

And what is it ********.

Brilliant idea ********. We have

our different landforms due to
earthquakes. We know that
earthquakes happen due to the
movement of our crustal plates.
When these crustal plates collide,
separates or slide pass through
each other there will formation of
land forms. Such as mountains,
hills, valleys and many more.
However, it takes a millions and
thousands of years process to
make such. It does not mean that
in one earthquake there will be a
major land formation that will
occur. But it takes hundreds of
them. Anyway dont bother
yourself about that too much we
will discuss this deeper on our
next topics.

However, if I may ask, is it

necessary for us to study about
the effects of earthquake?

Why do you say so? Yes *******.

Yes maam

It is important for us to study about

the effects of earthquake maam so
that we would be able to plan what
we must do before, during, and
after an earthquake.

Drills

Well said *******. The main

reason why we must study about
the effects of earthquake in the

environment so that as humans

we will know what we must plan
before, during and after the
earthquake. This means that by
studying the effects of
earthquake we can open our eyes
to the possible scenarios that will
happen when we are hit by an
earthquake by that we will now
know how to cope when the
situation arises.

E.

Drills
Thus to strengthen your
understanding of the lesson. This
time let us have an activity in
relation to our topic, look at your
nametags, there are different
shapes, we have circle, square,
heart, star and triangle.
Have you seen those shapes?
That would be the basis for your
groupings.
Listen to the instructions. In your
group choose a leader, IM
manager.
You are given 5 minutes to
discuss and plan with group
mates.
IM managers please get the
envelopes here.
Activities
Circle Group
Given set of pictures,

The pupils will do the activity.

Identify which pictures

shows the effects of an
earthquake. Label the
pictures.
Square Group
Present a 2-minute role
play presenting a situation
of a community during an
earthquake.
Heart Group
Create tableau/scene that
pictures out a community
that
experiences
an
earthquake.
Choose
a
representative to explain
your work.
Star Group
Simulate a 2-3 minutes
news report about an
earthquake that hits a
community.

Times up. Everybody take your

seats. Let us listen and observe
each groups presentation.

Circle Group present work.

The teacher will check the work
of group

Very good Circle Group . Lets

give them a clap 3x.

Circle Groups representative

will discuss their work.

Square Group will present their

work.

Heart Group will present their

work.

Star Group will present their

work.

Yes maam

Square Group present work.

Application
Very good group 2. Lets give
them a round of applause. ( At
the same time the teacher will
give additional input. It may vary
with regards to the presentation
of the students)

Heart Group, present now your

work.
Very good heart group. Lets give
them a round of applause

Star Group present your work.

Good job star group. Lets give
them a round of applause.

Well done everyone. It seems

that you have grasped out topic.
Please go back now to your
proper seats.

Are you settled?

F. Application

Good. This time. Please get a

sheet of paper.
Ill show you pictures of the
effects of earthquake. On your
sheet of paper choose only one
effect of earthquake that you
think has the greatest impact to
the environment and to humans
specially. Explain your answer.
You have five (5) minutes to do
the activity.

Times up. Stop writing

everyone.
Who wants to share his/her work.

Yes *******.

Very good ********. Another one.

Yes *******.

Students will do the activity.

For me maam I choose landslide.

Because if ca destroy houses,
buildings and can kill people
maam specially those who are
located at the foot of the
mountain.
I choose maam tsunami. This huge
wave maam has the greatest
chance of destroying a coastal
town or city and theres only a few
chance that people and animals
can survive tsunami if they will be
caught by it.
I choose maam death of people
and other animals. This is the
greatest impact of earthquake
since when life is lost we could
never bring it back. We may build
back buildings and houses but as
to life we cant.

Yes maam theres a positive

impact of earthquake maam.
Earthquake maam shapes the
world we have today. As what you
have said maam that earthquake
is due to the movement of the
plates. This earthquake shapes the
world, the landforms we have
today.

Well said *******. Another one

who wants to share his work.

Brilliant idea ******. A sad reality

but it is the fact. However is there
a good impact of earthquake in
the environment?
Yes ********.

And what is it *********.

Wonderful idea ********. Due to

the movement of the earths
crust we have land formations.
The mountains, the valleys and
all land formations is due to the
movement of the earth crust we
called earthquake and we will
discuss deeper on how do
earthquake shapes the world
today on our next lessons.

Well done everyone. You have

grasped the lesson. You have
shown awareness of how
earthquakes affects the
environments specially us
humans since we are part of the
environment.
