Subject: Earth and Life Science No. of Hours: 80 Hours
Course Description: This learning area is designed to provide a general background for the understanding of Earth Science and Biology. It presents the history of
the Earth through geologic time. It discusses the Earth’s structure, composition, and processes. Issues, concerns, and problems pertaining to natural hazards are
also included. It also deals with the basic principles and processes in the study of biology. It covers life processes and interactions at the cellular, organism,
population, and ecosystem levels.
