SEMI- DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE VI

Content Standards: The learners demonstrate understanding of the effects of earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
Performance Standards: The learners should design an emergency and preparedness plan
and kit.
Learning Competency: The learners should be able to describe the changes on the earth’s
surface as a result of earthquakes.

I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:
1. Describe the changes on the earth’s surface as a result of earthquakes.
2. Show the changes on the earth’s surface as a result of earthquakes through
illustrations, song, 3-D model or a poem.
3. Appreciate the Filipino spirit of “bayanihan” during calamities.
II. CONTENT:
A. Subject Matter: Changes on the Earth’s Surface as a Result of Earthquakes
B. Science Concept: When the earth’s crust shakes, such tremor causes
damages to people, buildings, bridges, rocks and vegetation. It
also causes changes on the earth’s surface. Some parts of the
land may open up creating wide chasms. An earthquake may
also give rise to some parts of the soil. Catastrophic phenomena
like landslides, avalanche, tsunamis, and flooding may also
occur.
C. Science Processes: observing, describing, inferring

III. LEARNING RESOURCES:

A. References:
1. CG Code SGES – IVa -1
2. Light in Science 6 p. 268; Science in our Country 6 p. 255
B. Materials:
Pictures, Manila paper, marking pen, clay illustration board,
IV. PROCEDURE:
A. Before the Lesson
1. Science News/Trivia/Song
2. Review: What comes to your mind when you see this word? (Teacher lists
the responses of the pupils.)

Earthquake
EARTHQUAKE

1. Engage:

 Motivation: Let us all pretend that there is an earthquake

magnitude 7.1 while we are having a class. What
must we do? (dramatization)
 Ask: Have you seen damages that earthquakes
cause in a certain area?

2. Explore
 Presentation: The teacher shows some pictures that
depict changes on the earth’s surface caused by
earthquakes. What do these pictures tell us?
Today, we are going to learn some changes on
the earth’s surface as a result of earthquakes.
 Activity
a. Divide the class into groups of 4-5 members.
b. Let them reiterate the rules to be followed in
doing a group activity.
c. Have them bring out the assigned materials.
d. Distribute the activity sheets.

(Refer to attached activity sheets for

reproduction.)
3. Explain
 Let each group present their output in class.
 Discussion:
What are the changes on the earth’s surface as a
result of earthquakes?
Do these changes affect the people concerned? In
what way?
What might the earth’s surface be like if there were no
earthquakes?
4. Elaborate
 Generalization:
How will you describe the changes on the earth’s
surface as a result of earthquakes?
 Application/Values Integration:
 You heard on TV that a certain place in the Philippines was
hit by a strong earthquake. Many buildings/houses collapsed
and a lot of people died. How would you show your concern
for the survivors? How is “bayanihan” spirit among Filipinos
shown in calamities like this?

Paste/Draw 2 pictures showing changes on the earth’s surface as a result
of earthquakes.
VI. Remarks:

it worked well?
1.

READING ARTICLE

Describing the Changes on the Earth’s Surface

as a Result of Earthquakes

When energy is released from the moving crustal plates, the surrounding rock
layer trembles and shifts. This movement is called earthquake. When the crust shakes, such
tremor causes damages to people, buildings, bridges, rocks, and vegetation. Electric posts
may tilt or topple; water pipes and other utility installations may get dislocated; dams may
break that will cause flooding and landslides may occur.

Strong earthquakes can cause some parts of the land to open up, creating wide
chasms. They also give rise to some parts of the soil causing it to slip or fall.

Liquefaction can also occur when violent shaking suddenly turns soft soil into liquid
mud. It is likely to occur where the soil is full of moisture. As the ground gives way, buildings
sink and pull apart. It can also cause landslides.

Sometimes buildings and other structures collapse during an aftershock. An

aftershock is an earthquake that occurs in the same area after a stronger earthquake occurred.

When an earthquake jolts the ocean floor, plate movements cause the ocean floor to
rise slightly and push water out of its way. If the earthquake is strong enough, the water
displaced by the quake forms large waves called tsunamis.

A tsunami spreads out across the ocean. The distance between the waves of a
tsunami is between 100 to 200kms. The height of the wave may be as low as half a meter or
as high as 80 meters. As they approach shallow water near the coastline, the waves became
close together thereby producing a mountain of water which can be as high as a six-storey
building.
