“To start our class, may I ask (student’s

name) to lead the prayer?” (The student will go in front of the
class and lead the prayer)

“Before I formally begin the discussion,

I just want to ask, is everyone present
for today’s meeting?”
“Yes, Sir.”

1. Review
“Let’s have a review. I know that
everyone here already knows what
Social Science is. Can someone define “Sir, Social science tells us about the
it for me? How about… Mr. / Ms. (name world beyond our immediate
of student)?” experience and can help explain how
our society works”

“Impressive, Mr./Ms. (student’s name).

Thank you!”

“Now, can someone give me the history “The history of the social sciences
of Social Sciences? begins in the roots of ancient
philosophy.”

“Impressive! I'm pleased to see that

everyone was paying attention to our
discussion yesterday.”

3. Lesson Proper
“Our topic today is all about Social
Science and Natural Science. It also
involves the Various Social Science
Disciplines”

“But first and foremost, allow me to

introduce you to Today's learning
objectives.”

1. Define Social Sciences as the

study of society

2. Define Social Sciences as the

study of society
3. Compare and contrast the
various Social Science
disciplines and their fields,
main areas of inquiry, and
methods

“Etymologically, the word “science” is

derived from the Latin word Scientia
meaning knowledge. Science can be (Students listen attentively.)
grouped into two broad categories:
natural science and social science.”

“Can someone share their ideas about

the meaning of Social Science?”
“Great Job! That is right since Social
Science is a vast subject.”
“Social is one of the branches of
science. It deals with humans and
how they interact with each other in
society. Its core focus is on society as
a whole and the interactions of
individuals therein. It borders on
virtually all aspects of human
existence.”

“The origin of the social sciences is

traceable to the 19th century. Some of
the ideologies that form the body of
 DON MARIANO MARCOS MEMORIAL STATE UNIVERSITY

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

knowledge that we call Social Science

existed before the 19th century;
however, social science was more
intentional. It became a recognized
field of study in the 19th century.”

“Mr. / Ms. (name of student), please

read what is present on the slides about
the Sub-branches of Social Science”

“The sub-branches of social science

include Political Science, which
deals with the political affairs of the
government. We have Psychology
which deals with how humans think
and exercise their minds.
Anthropology deals with the origin of
humans and how their culture is
evolving. Sociology deals with the
cultural and social belief systems of
humans. The law deals with the
“Thank you! Political Science, regulatory framework for human
Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, behaviors and activities.”
and Law are just some of the branches
of Social Science. Can someone in the
class tell me the other sub-branches of
Social Science from your assignment
yesterday?
 DON MARIANO MARCOS MEMORIAL STATE UNIVERSITY

“The other sub-branches that I have

researched are Economics,
Geography, History, and Linguistics,

your answer with us. In total, 8
disciplines are present in Social
Sciences.”

“Earlier, we already defined about

Political Science, Psychology,
Anthropology, Sociology, and Law. How
about can someone define Economics?”

“Sir, The study of man's production,

“Excellent! How about Geography? consumption, and distribution of
goods and services”

“This is the study of man's

“Very Good Class! Everyone took an “The scientific study of language,

“Now, after we discussed Social

the class tell me what it is?”

“Mr. / Ms. (name of student), please

read what is present on the slides about
the Sub-branches of Natural Science”
 DON MARIANO MARCOS MEMORIAL STATE UNIVERSITY
MID LA UNION CAMPUS

City of San Fernando, La Union

“Natural science also has several

sub-branches that span over the
study of natural events and
elements. Its main categories are

uses peer review to ensure that the
conclusion it is reaching at the end of
the research is a valid one.”

“Based on what you know about Natural

Science on its method. What is the
method of Social Science?”

“Sir, I think Social science employs a

variety of methods in its study. It
usually starts with questioning a

“Therefore, class. That concludes our

topic on Social Sciences and Natural
Sciences for today. I hope everyone
understands today's lesson.”

“Do you have any questions?”

“Now, everyone will be having the Q &

be asking a question related to what we
have discussed today. I need the full
attention of the class since this Q & A
portion will have points for your test
later on. Is everyone ready?”

“Then, Let’s Start!”

“What are the 8 sub-branches of Social

Science?” “Yes, sir!”

Social Sciences are:

me your idea about the similarities of “Sir, Social Sciences and Natural

“Sir, Social science and natural

science might be distinct bodies of
knowledge. However, they have

they both adopt the use of
observations in their research.”

“Sir, just as there are correlations

“Fantastic, Class! So, that’s it, the
between social science and natural
science, there are also discrepancies
between them. However, it appears
that the contrasts between them
outnumber the similarities. One of
the key distinctions between social
science and natural science is the
concentration of their research. The
interplay of humans and society is
the subject of social science. Natural
science, on the other hand, is

5. Generalization

“Class, do you have any questions about

today's lecture?”

“Then, before we proceed to our

evaluation can someone in the class

There is more to us than just ourselves.
