the test.  Remind the class that they will be given an
assessment about the concepts they’ve learned
through the given time.

B.MOTIVATION(ENGAGE)

 Ask students to follow the seating arrangement.

 Students will prepare their answer sheet and ballpen.
 Teacher will facilitate the test and see to it that any
concerns will be catered in case there are
clarifications/corrections about the test items.

C.DISCUSSION OF CONCEPTS (EXPLORE)

  Teacher will discuss concept(s) that the students are
not able to master.

D.DEVELOPING MASTERY (EXPLAIN

 Give the summary of this week’s lesson.

E.APPLICATION AND GENERALIZATION (ELABORATE)

 Ask the class what measure or practice they can

suggest to improve their scores in a given test.

F.EVALUATION
 Recording and analyzing how the scores of students
went through, this result will be used as basis for
class remediation just in case many were not able to
get the passing target of 75%.

Activity: 1 Distribute the photocopied Fault Model
Giving of general instruction for the activity to perform
“where does an earthquake start?”
:

Analysis: Discussion of the answers in the guide questions.

1. What does the upper surface of the model represents?
2. The trace of the fault on the surface of the Earth is called
____________.
3. The flat surface between the two pieces is called
________________.
Abstraction:
Let the students describe and point out in their model the
focus and the epicenter.
Epicenter is the location on the surface of the Earth directly
above where the earthquake starts. Focus (aka Hypocenter)
is the location in the Earth where the earthquake starts.

Application: Explain why focus is called the origin of the

earthquake.

Assessment:
Using the fault model from the previous lesson ask the class
to answer the following questions:
1. Where is the first movement of earthquakes occur?
2. Make a comparison of an epicenter and a focus. Describe
both using your model.
3. Point out the fault line, fault plane, focus and epicenter
using the model.
4. What is felt near epicenter and a focus?
 Assignment: What is intensity of an earthquake

A: Show cooperation during the
activity Activity:
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS) uses the following scale to describe the
intensity of earthquakes in the Philippines.
Group the class and assign numbers to brainstorm.
Analysis:
Organize a discussion on the tables.
Each group will present their output in front of the class.
1. What is intensity?
2. What is its importance?
3. Why do we need to familiarize with this numbers?
4. What is magnitude?
5. How it is determined?

Abstraction:
How do we distinguish intensity and magnitude of an
earthquake?

Application:
Suppose an earthquake occurred in Luzon. Would the
intensity be the same all over the Philippines?

Assessment:
A) When an earthquake occurs, where would shaking be
greater?
 B) Where would damage be more?
C) Based on your answers to Questions A and B, where
would the intensity be higher? Near the epicenter or away
from the epicenter?

Assignment:
Research on the latest earthquake in the country, include its
intensity and magnitude. Enumerate damages it caused the
community.

inactive faults in the Philippines.
Activity:
Show the map of active faults in the Philippines.
Ask the class to familiarize the location together with their
group members.
Study the map and find out where you live. Is there an
active fault passing by your town, province, or region? If so,
are you and your family prepared for the occurrence of an
earthquake?
Analysis:

Ask the class to prepare for a short sharing on the

location and numbers of faults located in the locality.
What are some of the effects of faults? (But along some
faults, the effects may be dramatic. Suppose a house was
built on a fault. As the ground shifts little by little, parts of
the house will be affected. The floor will crack, doors will
not close, and the roof may start to leak.)

Abstraction:
What is an active fault?
(An active fault is one that has moved in the past and is
expected to move again. Put in another way, an active fault
has generated earthquakes before and is capable of causing
more in the future.)

Application:
What is the importance of knowing the location of fault?

Assessment:
1. How many active and inactive faults did you list in region
7?
2. Name the specific city, town, and barangay where it is
located.
3. Make marks and assign colors in your map for easy
 access.
4. What preparations will you list in your notes in case there
is a sudden movement of faults located near our community
or city?
5. Describe the lines found in the map. (Solid lines tell us
exactly where the active faults are. Heavy dashed lines tell
us the approximate location of active faults)

Assignment:
Make a list of suggestions on what to do before, during and
after an earthquake?
