Science Quarter IV Week 1

• The lesson guide covers science for Quarter IV, Week 1
• It focuses on attributes, curriculum content, standards, and learning competencies

Attributes Key Stage Outcome

• Healthy: Promotes healthy living and relationships, seeks help to prevent harmful experiences
• Environmental Steward: Participates in preserving the environment and managing resources, practices environmental conservation
• Critical Thinker and Articulate: Able to inquire, investigate, and convey ideas systematically, evaluates data from various sources
• Life-long Learner: Takes responsibility for own learning, seeks information, understands, and copes with difficult situations

Content Standard

• Rapid movements along normal, reverse, or strike-slip faults cause earthquakes

Performance Standard

• Learners should appreciate using systems to analyze natural phenomena and explain the dynamics of faults and earthquakes
• They should be confident in assessing earthquake risks in their local communities using data
• Learners should use the country's disaster awareness and risk reduction plans to explain what to do during an earthquake

Learning Competencies

• Classify geological faults by angle and slip direction (SC7Q4LC1-A2KS3I4), (SC7Q4LC1-A3KS3I1), (SC7Q4LC1-A3KS3I3), (SC7Q4LC1-A5KS3I1)
• Use models or illustrations to explain how fault movements generate earthquakes (SC7Q4LC2-A6KS3I2)

Learning Objectives

• Classify geological faults using diagrams, models, or examples
• Describe how movements along faults generate earthquakes using models or illustrations
• Identify common fault types in the Philippines and their characteristics
• Explain why certain faults are more likely to occur in the Philippines

Content

• System Models of Geological Faults are the content

Learning Resources

• Resources include:
  • Philippine earthquake hazard map
  • BARMM earthquake hazard map markers
  • Modeling Clay
  • Rulers
  • Cartolina
  • Crayons
  • Two wooden blocks (or boxes)
  • Marker
  • Paper
  • Rope
  • Slinky
  • Small bell

Lesson Proper: Inquiry Teaching

• Focus during the lesson proper is on fault identification based on the angle of the fault plane

Engage

• Introductory activity involves a fault line observation task
• Showing a short video of an earthquake in the Philippines is part of the engage
• Present an earthquake hazard map of the Philippines, highlighting fault lines where seismic activities might occur
• Brainstorming session involves student discussion about earthquakes and faults
• Students asked to write a short reflection on how earthquakes might impact the Bangsamoro community
• Geological Fault, according to concept notes, is a crack in the Earth's crust where blocks of rockslide past each other

Explore

• Activity: Fault Slip Simulation
• Students explain the direction of slip in geological faults and how it relates to different fault types
• The concept note: Earthquakes are caused by sudden fault movements, releasing energy as seismic waves
• Faults are fractures where blocks of rockslide past each other
• Main fault types include normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults
• Activity: Earthquake Movements Simulation
• Objective: Describe how movements along faults generate earthquakes using models or illustrations

Explain

• In the explain stage, students classify geological faults based on the fault plane angle and slip direction using diagrams
• Activity: Fault Diagrams Exercise

Complete the Wave Table

• Wave type, motion direction, Speed and medium are the columns

Elaborate

• Relate fault types to real-world applications in disaster preparedness and resource management in BARMM

Evaluate

• Assess learning through a summative exam on System Models of Geological Faults

Interactive Mapping Exercise

• Each group identifies areas with normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults using the BARMM earthquake hazard map
  • Normal faults occur when the crust is stretched and the footwall moves up while the hanging wall moves down
  • Reverse faults occur when the crust is compressed, causing the hanging wall to move up and the footwall to move down.
  • Strike-Slip faults occur when blocks of crust slide horizontally past each other. Blocks move sideways relative to each other.
