B. Review Review

 Before we proceed to our lesson

this morning let’s first have our
review.
 Our topic last meeting was all
 What was our topic last meeting?
about difference between intensity
 Yes, ********
and magnitude of earthquake.
 Very Good, ********
 What is intensity?  Intensity is the measurement of
 Yes *********. the damage caused by an
earthquake
 Very good ********.
 What do we use to measure the
 We use Rossi-Forel Scale of
intensity of an earthquake? Yes
Earthquake Intensities.
******?
 Nice one ********.

 On the other hand what is  Magnitude is the amount of

magnitude? Yes********. energy released by an earthquake.

 Very good ******. And what scale  We use Richter magnitude scale
do we sue to determine the ma’am.
magnitude of an earthquake? Yes
*******.

 Very good. I’ll show two tables

 The student will choose the
and identify which table shows
the scale for intensity and for respective table for intensity and
magnitude. Yes **********. 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  Okay ma’am
observe keenly.
 The teacher will show to the class
 the video.

 Based from the video that you’ve

watched what did you observe?
 Yes *******  I observe ma’am that there are
many buildings and houses that

thing we can do for them is to survive. Most importantly we must
pray. Aside from simply saying pray for them.
our prayers we must also help
them by giving their needs in our
simple and doable ways.

D. Lesson Proper

 All of your observations are Lesson Proper

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? At the end of the forty-five minutes
period the learners are expected to:
 Yes, ********
 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.
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.

 What can you see?

 Yes *******  There’s our planet earth ma’am
 Nice observation ********

 Another observation, yes

 There are many pictures of
*********
damaged buildings, houses and
 Very well said ******* even a very huge wave ma’am

 From those observation, who can

tell what our lesson is for today?  Earthquake ma’am.
 Yes, *********

 Hmmm. Almost there ****** but

still needs refining of idea.  Effects of Earthquake ma’am.
 Another, yes, ********

 Well said ********. That’s our

topic for today. But to be more
specific our topic is all about
effects of earthquake to the
environment.
 Earthquake ma’am is the strong

about the effects of earthquake.
Who can give me a description or
definition of what an earthquake
is? Yes **********.
 Very good ********. Earthquake is

the ground due to the movement  Yes ma’am.
of the crustal plates.
 Since we know what an
earthquake is. Have you ever
watch news about earthquakes in  Yes ma’am
the television?

 Oh that’s nice because you are

watching news. Do you observe

 Well said *****. Earthquakes

results to landslides. (The teacher
will show a picture of a landslide
due to the earthquake.)
 Landslide happens during

buildings are destroyed.
 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
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 ***********
 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.

 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  Yes ma’am there is.

build better ones. But if we talk  Earthquake ma’am is the reason

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 ********.

 And what is it ********.

 Brilliant idea ********. We have

our different landforms due to  Yes ma’am
earthquakes. We know that
earthquakes happen due to the
movement of our crustal plates.
When these crustal plates collide,  It is important for us to study about

land forms. Such as mountains, we must do before, during, and
hills, valleys and many more. after an earthquake.
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 *******.

Drills

 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
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  The pupils will do the activity.

 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.

 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 *******.
 Students will do the activity.
 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.
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.
 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.
 Well said *******. Another one
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?
