III. PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

A. Prayer and Greetings
 Good morning class!
 Before you take your seats, please pick up
some pieces of papers and arrange your
chairs properly.
 You may now take your seats.
 Good morning Ma’am Antonette.
 The pupils will pick the papers on the floor
and they will arrange their chairs
 Thank you ma’am.

B. Review Review

 Before we proceed to our lesson this

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

 On the other hand what is magnitude?  Magnitude is the amount of energy

Yes********. released by an earthquake.

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

 Very good. I’ll show two tables and

identify which table shows the scale for  The student will choose the respective
intensity and for magnitude. Yes 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 Motivation

 Well done class, let’s now discuss our

next topic. But before that, I’ll show you a  Okay ma’am
video and you 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 are destroyed.
 Good observation *******
 Another?  I had observed ma’am that there are dead
 Yes, ********* people.
 Very good *******

 Another one, Yes *********  I observe ma’am that the ground has a
huge crack.
 Very good observation *******
 What is the situation of the people in the
video presented?
 Yes *******.  The people there need help.

 Very good. So what we must do for them?

 Yes ********.  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.
 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.

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

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

 There are many pictures of damaged

 Another observation, yes *********
buildings, houses and even a very huge
wave ma’am
 Very well said *******
 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.

 Since our topic for today is all about the  Earthquake ma’am is the strong and sudden
effects of earthquake. Who can give me a shaking of the ground.
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.  Yes ma’am.
 Since we know what an earthquake is.
Have you ever watch news about
earthquakes in the television?
 Yes ma’am
 Oh that’s nice because you are watching
news. Do you observe some effects of the
earthquake?
 I observe in the news ma’am that it causes
 Can you give me one? Yes ********. a landslide.

 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 *********?
 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.
 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  There’s a huge opening or crack on the
specially on the ground? Yes ******. ground ma’am.

 Good one ******. Who among you here  Ma’am, there are huge openings because of
knows why there are huge openings or the movement of the crust. The ground
crack of the ground? Yes ******** may split or open ma’am if the earthquake
is very strong.
 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  I also observed from the news ma’am that
earthquake from the news you have earthquakes may cause tsunami.
heard. Yes **********.

 Very good ********. Strong underwater  Tsunami ma’am is a very huge ocean wave
earthquakes may cause tsunami. But by created by an earthquake.
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 **********.
Earthquake can destroy the habitats and
dwelling places of living organism
specifically humans. When houses and
buildings are destroyed.
 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.
 Earthquake can cause death to living
 Another effect of earthquake to living organism ma’am specifically to humans.
organism. Yes ***********
 Earthquake can cause death to humans
 Very good********. Why do earthquakes ma’am due to the fact that during many
cause death to living organism specifically humans are trapped when buildings and
humans? Yes *********. houses collapsed. They may also be
drowned when a tsunami occurs.

 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 ********.
 And what is it ********.
 Yes ma’am there is.
 Earthquake ma’am is the reason why we
have different land formations due to the
movement of the land.
 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  Yes ma’am
our next topics.

 However, if I may ask, is it necessary for

us to study about the effects of  It is important for us to study about the
earthquake? effects of earthquake ma’am so that we
would be able to plan what we must do
 Why do you say so? Yes *******. before, during, and after an earthquake.

 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.

 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 *********.
 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.

 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.
