Before we proceed to our lesson this morning let’s first have our review. What was our topic last meeting? Yes, ********
Very Good, ******** What is intensity?
Pupil’s Activity
Good morning Ma’am Antonette. The pupils will pick the papers on the floor and they will arrange their chairs
Thank you ma’am.
Review
Our topic last meeting was all about difference between intensity and magnitude of earthquake.
Intensity is the measurement of
Yes *********.
Very good ********. What do we use to measure the intensity of an earthquake? Yes ******? Nice one ********.
the damage caused by an earthquake
We use Rossi-Forel Scale of Earthquake Intensities.
Magnitude is the amount of energy released by an earthquake.
On the other hand what is magnitude? Yes********.
Very good ******. And what scale do we sue to determine the magnitude of an earthquake? Yes *******.
We use Richter magnitude scale ma’am.
Very good. I’ll 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 *********. It’s 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 Well done class, let’s now discuss our next topic. But before that, I’ll show you a video and you observe keenly. The teacher will show to the class the video. Based from the video that you’ve
Motivation
Okay ma’am
watched what did you observe? Yes *******
Good observation ******* Another? Yes, ********* Very good *******
Another one, Yes *********
Very good observation ******* What is the situation of the people in the video presented? Yes *******.
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.
I observe ma’am that there are many buildings and houses that are destroyed.
I had observed ma’am that there are dead people.
I observe ma’am that the ground has a huge crack.
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? Yes, ********
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.
Thank you ******* In order for us to know what our topic is all about I’ll show you a picture. The teacher will show a picture.
What can you see? Yes ******* Nice observation ********
There’s our planet earth ma’am
Another observation, yes *********
Very well said *******
There are many pictures of damaged buildings, houses and even a very huge wave ma’am
From those observation, who can tell what our lesson is for today? Yes, *********
Earthquake ma’am.
Hmmm. Almost there ****** but still needs refining of idea. Another, yes, ********
Effects of Earthquake ma’am.
Earthquake ma’am is the strong and sudden shaking of the ground.
Well said ********. That’s 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 that’s 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 earth’s crust.
What other effects have you observe specially on the ground? Yes ******.
Good one ******. Who among you here knows why there are huge openings or crack of the ground?
Yes ma’am.
Yes ma’am
I observe in the news ma’am that it causes a landslide.
Landslide happens during earthquake ma’am due to the movement of the ground. Such as in the mountains. The side of the mountain may erode due to the movement.
There’s a huge opening or crack on the ground ma’am.
Ma’am, there are huge openings because of the movement of the crust. The ground may split or open ma’am if the earthquake is very strong.
Yes ********
Good idea ********. Remember class that earthquake is the sudden release of the earth’s 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 earthquake hits a certain place it can destroy the habitats and dwelling places of living organism such as humans. Our houses and
I also observed from the news ma’am that earthquakes may cause tsunami.
Tsunami ma’am 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.
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 those negative effects of an earthquake. Thus earthquake has a positive and beneficial effect? Yes ********.
Earthquake can cause death to living organism ma’am specifically to humans.
Earthquake can cause death to humans ma’am 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 ma’am there is.
Earthquake ma’am is the reason why we have different land formations due to the movement of the land.
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 year’s 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 don’t 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 *******.
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
Yes ma’am
It is important for us to study about the effects of earthquake ma’am so that we would be able to plan what we must do before, during, and after an earthquake.
Drills
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, Identify which pictures shows the effects of an earthquake. Label the pictures.
The pupils will do the activity.
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.
Time’s up. Everybody take your seats. Let us listen and observe each group’s presentation.
Circle Group’s representative will discuss their work.
Square Group will present their work.
Heart Group will present their work.
Star Group will present their work.
Circle Group present work. The teacher will check the work of group
Very good Circle Group . Let’s give them a clap 3x.
Square Group present work. Yes ma’am Very good group 2. Let’s give them a round of applause. ( At Application 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. Let’s give
Students will do the activity.
them a round of applause
Star Group present your work. Good job star group. Let’s 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.
I choose ma’am tsunami. This huge wave ma’am has the greatest chance of destroying a coastal town or city and there’s only a few chance that people and animals can survive tsunami if they will be caught by it.
I choose ma’am 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 can’t.
Are you settled?
F. Application
Good. This time. Please get a ½ sheet of paper. I’ll show you pictures of the effects of earthquake. On your ½ 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.
Time’s up. Stop writing everyone. Who wants to share his/her work. Yes *******.
Very good ********. Another one. Yes *******.
Well said *******. Another one
For me ma’am I choose landslide. Because if ca destroy houses, buildings and can kill people ma’am specially those who are located at the foot of the mountain.
Yes ma’am there’s a positive impact of earthquake ma’am. Earthquake ma’am shapes the world we have today. As what you have said ma’am that earthquake is due to the movement of the plates. This earthquake shapes the world, the landforms we have today.
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 *********. Generalization
Wonderful idea ********. Due to the movement of the earth’s 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.
G.
Generalization Thus, to sum up our lesson
