SCIENCE 8
FIRST QUARTER
TOPICS/SKILLS
1 Laws of Motion
1.1 Law of Inertia
1.2 Law of acceleration
1.3 Law of Interaction
 Investigate the relationship between the amount of force applied and the mass of the
object to the amount of change in the object’s motion
 Infer that when a body exerts a force on another, an equal amount of force is exerted
back on it
 Demonstrate how a body responds to changes in motion
 Relate the laws of motion to bodies in uniform circular motion
 Infer that circular motion requires the application of constant force directed toward the
center of the circle
2 Work, Power, and Energy
 Identify situations in which work is done and in which no work is done
 Describe how work is related to power and energy
 Differentiate potential and kinetic energy
 Relate speed and position of object to the amount of energy possessed by a body
3 Sound
 Infer how the movement of particles of an object affects the speed of sound through it
 Investigate the effect of temperature to speed of sound through fair testing
4 Light
 Demonstrate the existence of the color components of visible light using a prism or diffraction
grating
 Explain the hierarchy of colors in relation to energy
  Explain that red is the least bent and violet the most bent according to their wavelengths or
frequencies
5 Heat
 Differentiate between heat and temperature at the molecular level
6 Electricity
 Infer the relationship between current and charge
 Explain the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel connections in homes
 Differentiate electrical power and electrical energy
 Explain the functions of circuit breakers, fuses, earthing, double insulation, and other safety
devices in the home.

SCIENCE 9
FIRST QUARTER
TOPICS/SKILLS
Unit 1 Respiratory and Circulatory Systems working with the other organ systems
 trace the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the body cells, and of carbon
dioxide from the body cells to lungs
 Infer how one’s lifestyle can affect the functioning of respiratory and circulatory
systems
Unit 2 Heredity: Inheritance and Variation
 Describe the location of genes in chromosomes
 Explain the different patterns of non-Mendelian inheritance
Unit 3 Biodiversity and Evolution
 Relate species extinction to the failure of populations of organisms to adapt to
abrupt changes in the environment
 Explain the how natural factors can contribute to biodiversity crisis and species
extinction
Unit 4 Ecosystems
 Differentiate basic features and importance of photosynthesis and respiration
 Identify the importance of raw materials and the product of photosynthesis

 use models to explain the possible causes of plate movement
Chapter 2 Plate Tectonics
  Describe the different types of plate boundaries
 Explain how earthquakes happen and how volcanoes and mountain ranges
are formed
Chapter 3 Tracing the Pacific Ring of fire
 Describe the distribution of active volcanoes and earthquake epicenter
along the Ring of fire
 Explain how mountain ranges are formed along plate boundaries
Chapter 4 The Earth’s Water
 Describe briefly the history of the Earth’s ancient oceans
 Describe the various types of aquatic ecosystems and the factors that
determine their characteristics
