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, ******** 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

In order for us to know what our
topic is all about Ill show you a
picture.
The teacher will show a picture.

What can you see?

Yes ******* Theres our planet earth maam

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 maam 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

along the mountainside will erode

What other effects have you
observe specially on the ground?
Yes ******.
Good one ******. Who among you
here knows why there are huge
openings or crack of the ground?
Maam, there are huge openings
because of the movement of the
crust. The ground may split or
open maam if the earthquake is
very strong.
 Yes ********

Good idea ********. Remember

class that earthquake is the
sudden release of the earths
interior energy. So when this

Tsunami is a Japanese term which living organism specifically
means literally harbor waves. humans. When houses and
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 ***********
Very good********. Why do
earthquakes cause death to living
organism specifically humans?
Yes *********.
Earthquake can cause death to
living organism maam specifically
to humans.
Earthquake can cause death to
humans maam due to the fact that
during many humans are trapped
when buildings and 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 Yes maam there is.

Anyways, so much for the

sentimental moments. Aside from
those negative effects of an
earthquake. Thus earthquake has
a positive and beneficial effect?
Yes ********.

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 dont 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.

Thus to strengthen your The pupils will do the activity.

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

effects of earthquake. On your

effect of earthquake that you
think has the greatest impact to
the environment and to humans

For me maam I choose landslide.
Because if ca destroy houses,
buildings and can kill people
maam specially those who are
located at the foot of the
mountain.
I choose maam tsunami. This huge
wave maam has the greatest
chance of destroying a coastal
town or city and theres only a few
chance that people and animals
can survive tsunami if they will be
caught by it.
I choose maam 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 cant.
Yes maam theres a positive
impact of earthquake maam.
Earthquake maam shapes the
world we have today. As what you
have said maam that earthquake
is due to the movement of the
plates. This earthquake shapes the
world, the landforms we have
today.
