INTRODUCTION
This Handbook aims to provide the general public – parents, students, researchers, and other stakeholders
– an overview of the Mathematics program at the secondary level. Those in education, however, may use it as a
reference for implementing the 2002 secondary education curriculum, or as a source document to inform policy
and guide practice.

For quick reference, the Handbook is outlined as follows:

• The description defines the focus and the emphasis of the learning area as well as the language of
instruction used.

• The unit credit indicates the number of units assigned to a learning area computed on a 40-minute per
unit credit basis and which shall be used to evaluate a student’s promotion to the next year level.

• The time allotment specifies the number of minutes allocated to a learning area on a daily (or weekly,
as the case may be) basis.

• The expectancies refer to the general competencies that the learners are expected to demonstrate at
the end of each year level.

• The scope and sequence outlines the content, or the coverage of the learning area in terms of concepts
or themes, as the case may be.

• The suggested strategies are those that are typically employed to develop the content, build skills, and
integrate learning.

• The materials include those that have been approved for classroom use. The application of information
and communication technology is encouraged, where available.

• The grading system specifies how learning outcomes shall be evaluated and the aspects of student
performance which shall be rated.

• The learning competencies are the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that the students are
expected to develop or acquire during the teaching-learning situations.

• Lastly, sample lesson plans are provided to illustrate the mode of integration, where appropriate, the
application of life skills and higher order thinking skills, the valuing process and the differentiated
activities to address the learning needs of students.
The Handbook is designed as a practical guide and is not intended to structure the operationalization of the
curriculum or impose restrictions on how the curriculum shall be implemented. Decisions on how best to teach
and how learning outcomes can be achieved most successfully rest with the school principals and teachers. They
know the direction they need to take and how best to get there.
DESCRIPTION
The Science Program at the secondary level is designed to promote students’ awareness of the relevance of science
in life and develop critical and creative thinking as well as skills in problem solving through the teaching of
science in an outdoor environment and cooperative learning. More than the understanding of science concepts,
emphasis is given on the application of these concepts to improve the environment and the quality of life.

In First Year, Integrated Science builds on elementary Science, and weaves together bits of earth science, biology,
chemistry and physics which flow sequentially in a more unified and meaningful pattern of study.

In Second Year, the learners focus on Biology

Biology, which deals with the living world of human and non-human
species, human interactions and relationships with the environment, and the problems we face relative to health,
reproduction and heredity, food production, resource management and conservation.

In Third Year, the learners focus on Chemistry

Chemistry, which deals with the properties and chemical behavior of matter,
atomic structure, chemical changes, and technology affecting the environment and society.
UNIT CREDIT
Science in all year levels shall be given 1.5 units each.

TIME ALLOTMENT
Science offerings in all year levels are allotted 60 minutes (1 hour) daily.
EXPECTANCIES
The learner is expected to apply scientific knowledge, skills and values in identifying and solving problems of the
environment, its conservation and in evolving better ways and means of doing things in daily living.

CHEMISTRY
At the end of the Third Year Science Program, the learner should be able to demonstrate understanding of the
science concepts in chemistry; develop skills to know the structure, composition, properties and classification
of matter and to explain different chemical processes/reactions, changes in matter/energy and its applications to
daily life and a discriminating appreciation of technology.

BIOLOGY
At the end of the Second Year Science Program, the learner should be able to explain the interrelationship
between the different biological processes; demonstrate scientific skill with competence and confidence; initiate
activities in the preservation and conservation of the environment.

INTEGRATED SCIENCE
At the end of the First Year Science Program, the learner should be able to demonstrate understanding of
basic science concepts, skills and attitudes needed to explore biology, chemistry, physics and earth science with
an integrative understanding and application of these scientific disciplines .

can befall man during his lifetime. There are many ways of preventing disease. Even the human body
has barriers designed to prevent entry of disease-causing organisms. An illustration of a macrophage
trapping bacteria will be shown to the class.

III. Learning Tasks

a. Recall
We learned from the past lesson that chemical system a chemical system either release or absorb
energy. When do we say energy is released/absorbed in a chemical system?

b. Motivation
How fast can a reaction go? We say some are very fast, others are very slow. There are many
reasons that may affect rates of reaction. Can you name some?

C. Lesson Proper
1. Activity
1.1 Effect of temperature
Measure two 1 – gram sample of rock salt. Put each gram separately in small
beaker. Pour 10 mL of tap water in one beaker and add 10 mL of hot water in the
other. Observe the time it takes to dissolve each sample of salt.

1.2 Effect of Particle size

Measure one gram of rock salt. Put this on a small beaker. Measure one gram of
granulated salt. Put this also in another small beaker. Pour 10 mL of tap water into
each beaker. Compare the rate of dissolving of solids in the beaker.
 1.3 Effect of concentration
Measure 10 mL of 3 M HCl and put this into a small beaker. Measure the same
amount of 6 M HCl and put it in a different beaker. Measure 2 inches of Mg ribbon
and roll this to make it compact. Add the 2 inch rolled Mg ribbon into each of the
beakers simultaneously. Observe the reaction.

1.4 Effect of catalyst (DEMO only)

Measure 20 mL of Hydrogen Peroxide. Put this in a small beaker. Put a very
small amount of Manganese dioxide in a spatula. Using a spoon with a long handle,
(deflagrating spoon) drop the Mg ribbon to the beaker with Hydrogen Peroxide.
Observe how fast the reaction occurs.

Caution: Use goggles. Move as far back as possible from the reaction set up before
mixing the reactants.

1.5 Nature of Reactants

Get 0.5 grams of NaCl. Stir this in a small beaker with 20 mL of water. Get another
0.5 grams of the salt and stir this in 20 mL of Ethyl Alcohol. Compare the results.

2. Post lab activity

Reaction rate is defined in terms of the disappearance of one of the reactants or it may be
defined as the rate of appearance of one of the products.

In our activity, we have observed that rate of reactions vary. Let us discuss the various
factors
2.1 Effect of temperature
According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, the kinetic energy of molecules
increases as the temperature increases. Increased kinetic energy increases the speed
of particles, thus increased molecular collision takes place. Increased molecular
action results in increased molecular activation energy, thus lowering activation
energy level.
2.2 Effect particle size
Smaller particles are more reactive. They are more energetic. Small particles have
greater surface area exposed to reaction, thus increasing the frequency at which
particles collide.
2.3 Effect of concentration
The greater the number of reacting substances increases the rate of reaction.
Crowded particles in a fixed volume increase the frequency of collision.
2.4 Effect of catalyst
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without itself being
 used in the process. Catalysts act in one or more steps of reactions by lowering the
reaction energy level. With lower activation energy level more collision will have
sufficient energy to pass over the energy barrier. Thus, greater fraction of collision
is effective at any given point.
2.5 Nature of reactant
Ionic reactions occur almost instaneously. NaCl is highly soluble in another polar
substance like water. This system demonstrate the “like dissolves like” reaction.
In this system the oppositely charge collide, more often, thus causing effective
reaction.

3. Generalization
There are 5 general factors affecting the rate of reaction; temperature, concentration,
particles size, potency of catalyst and nature reactants. The rate of reaction depends upon
the rate of effective collision, which are dependent upon the energy reactant particles
and the barriers of the reaction. Therefore, reactions rate is made faster by: increasing
temperature, increasing concentration, reducing the number of reactants or of similar
nature e.g. polar to polar or non-polar to non-polar.

4. Valuing/Application
All of us have goals in life. We would wish to achieve these goals as best we can and at the
soonest. To be successful, we look for ways we can overcome possible obstacle. Sometimes,
we need the influences of other people. When we do ask for other peoples help, we see to it
that they understand our situation in life.

5. Evaluation
1. How are each of the following concepts relate with the rate of reaction?
a. frequency of collisions
b. kinetic energy of collisions
c. orientation of colliding particles

2. How is the activation energy affected by the presence of catalyst

IV. Agreement
In the past lessons, we determined the various factors that effect reaction rates. In our next lesson,
we shall try see how these learning’s are applied in common things we do in life. For example:

1. How do we preserve or prolong the life of food?

2. What happens during digestion?
