Precautionary Measures
 LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
GRADE 6-SCIENCE QUARTER 4

I. Introductory Concept

Earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great
destruction, as a result of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action. Last August 18, 2020
a 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck the island province of Masbate leaving 2 dead and 170 injured
individuals. No one can stop earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from happening. But there are things
that people can do to avoid or decrease the loss of life and damage to property. The first step is to
have a clear understanding of the occurrence of earthquakes and know what to do Before, During and
After an earthquake occurs.

The activities you are about to do in this Learning Activity Sheet (LAS) will center on the
precautionary measures before, during and after an earthquake and volcanic eruptions happen.

II. Learning Skills from the MELCs

Enumerate what to do before, during and after earthquake, and volcanic eruptions (LC-
S6ES-IVa-1)

III. Activities

Pens
Procedure:
Instructions: Classify the following precautionary measure as Before, During or After. Write B if you
answer is Before, D if your answer is During and A for After. Write your answer before the number.

____1. Know the earthquake hazzards in your area.

IV. Analysis
Picture Me This!

1. Study the given picture.

2. List the precautionary measures you have seen in the picture.

V. Abstraction
Ground shaking from the earthquakes can collapse building and bridges, disrupt electric and phone
service, and sometimes trigger landslides, fire and tsunamis. Each time there is a major disaster, lives are
lost. Preparation can cut down on the loss of lives, can reduce the fear, anxiety and losses that
accompany disasters which is why you should have a knowledge on the things that you will do before,
during and after an earthquake and volcanic eruption happens. Here are the posters and pamphlets from
the DOST PHIVOLCS that are related to Earthquake preparedness.
