2. Greetings
Good Morning Class! Good Morning Ma’am Jonna Rose !

3. Checking of Attendance
(The teacher will check the
attendance by checking the students
permanent seats and marking at the
school form 2 of the class)

B. Review
Okay, so are you now ready to learn for
another scientific idea/concepts? Yes Ma’am.
Our new lesson for today is still connected to
our previous lessons, remember the different
types of plate boundaries?
(The teacher will demonstrate the hand
gestures that taught to the students for them
to be reminded).

For a short review activity let us play this

interactive game I prepared. This game is
inspired by the famous sci-fi movie “Train to
Busan”

Any volunteer to manipulate the game here

in front and the rest of the class will answer.

I volunteer myself Ma’am to manipulate the

interactive game.

(The class will feel thrilled with this activity.)

(The game is composed only of five levels,

equals to five questions about the lesson in
the types of plate boundaries.)

C. Motivation
Great! You passed the challenges in the
game and I think you are ready for the next
lesson that we’re going to discuss!
For you to have an idea about our new
lesson. Let’s play 4 pics 1 word.

Volcanic Eruption

________ ________
 Earthquake
__________

Landslide
_________
Okay correct! So given that the illustrations
are evidences of volcanic eruptions,
earthquake and landslide. What do you think
are these events? How are we going to
classify these events?
These events are Disasters/ Natural Hazards.
That’s right. To be specific these are
examples of Geologic Hazards.
D. Presentation of the Lesson

Due to the movement along the plate

boundaries which could be divergent,
convergent and transform, various natural
hazards/disasters are generated that we
experience.

These afternoon we are bound to learn the

different geologic hazards and its mitigation.
With the aid of several activities, you are
expected to do the following:

1. distinguish the different types of

geological hazards;
2. locate the nearest fault line and
 volcanoes in locality/region based on the
Philippine Faultline System Map;
3. present a disaster preparedness guide
with scenarios before, during and after
earthquake and;
4. create a brochure promoting/
advertising preparedness and disaster
risk reduction.

E. Lesson Proper

Based in this picture how do you describe or

define volcano?

It’s like a mountain Ma’am.

It’s scenic and amazing.
It has an opening or a vent.
How about in this picture? How will you
describe volcano?

It is erupting Ma’am, this illustration shows

that volcano is a dangerous mountain as it
erupts and extruding lava flow and gases.
So what could you infer about these two
pictures?
A volcano could be a mountain but is known
as an opening/vent/rupture of the earth’s
crust which allows hot magma, poisonous
gases and ash to escape from the magma
That’s right! chambers below the surface.
The summit of a volcano usually contains a
circular depression called crater within
which the vent occur. They are usually
associated with violent eruptions.

Looking back again to the Map of Pacific

Ring of Fire, you can observe that most of the
volcanoes (which is represented by red dot)
is commonly at the convergent boundaries.
Why do you think is that?
Can you locate there the Philippine Plate
where our country is located?

Yes Ma’am. (The student will point the

Philippine Plate)
Why do you think is the Philippines has many
volcanoes? It might because of the convergent
movement at the Philippine Plates and its
neighbor plates.
That’s right, and resulting to numerous of
volcano present in our country.

Types of Volcano

(The teacher will present the types of volcano

with the use of a song.)

We know that not all existing volcanoes in

our country still erupts, right? Yes Ma’am. Some volcanoes are not
exploding anymore.
That is right. Some are silently resting while
some are violently erupt. How do you think
we classify our volcanoes here in the
Philippines? I think Ma’am it’s the number of years since
the last explosion/eruption.
It could be.
The US Geology Survey has 3 classifications
of volcanoes known as active, dormant and
extinct. However the PHIVOLCS uses a
different set of classification.
1. Active Volcanoes
2. Potentially Active Volcanoes
3. Inactive Volcanoes

Using what you learned in your

English/linguistics in the use/meaning of
prefix and your vocabulary differentiate the
3 terms:
active, potentially active and inactive
 (the students will differentiate the three
terms based in their understanding)
Active volcanoes- erupted within the last 10,
000 years based on the analysis of datable
material.

Potentially active Volcanoes- those that

appear morphologically young but no
history records of eruption.

Inactive volcanoes- those that have no

record of eruptions.

(The teacher will discuss the three terms

based on the answer given by the students.
The teacher will present a table of the list of
actives and potentially active volcanoes in
the Philippines and let them locate the
nearest in the locality)

Effects of Volcanic Activity

(The teacher will present a blank table with
flashcards and students will place to the
positive/ negative effect box.)

POSITIVE EFFECT NEGATIVE EFFECT POSITIVE EFFECT NEGATIVE EFFECT

New Loss of life and
island/landforms damage of
property
Geothermal energy Health effects
Fertilizers Climate effects of
volcanic eruptions
Earthquake
(The teacher will play a short clip and let the
students define what is an earth quake)
Based on the short clip you watched, how
will you describe an earthquake?

An earthquake is a shaking of the ground

caused by a sudden release of energy in the
That’s right. Earth’s crust.
And what is earthquake in our dialect?

Earthquake in our lingua is LINOG.

Correct! More than a million of linog occur
each year! However, most are too small to be
felt or to cause damage.
(the teacher will just present the illustration
anatomy of earthquake as a review of their
grade 9 science)

Here in our barangay usually we experience

earthquake, right?
Sometimes you are here at school, or in
home. What do you actually do when an
earthquake occur? (the answer of the students may vary)
We hide and cover and dock under a strong
table.
Go to an open area Ma’am.
Okay, that is great!
You know what the things to do when
earthquake occurs.

Why do you think the school (Guintarcan

National High School) conduct quarterly
earthquake drill?

(Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction

Management)
Just like in that picture Ma’am, an
earthquake drill is always conducted by the
schools specifically the Guintarcan NHS to
ensure and equip us to know what do if an
earthquake/linog strikes. To avoid panic and
Very good, that is correct. too much tension if we experience it.
The school conducted this activities as part
of the DRRM program for students be aware,
prepare and equip. But did you even wonder
why our region is prone to earthquake? Just
this last months we were able to experience
earthquakes, I think that was last april, may
and june 2019.
Is it because we are near or actually at the
fault line Ma’am?
For us to be enlightened lets have this
illustration.

(The students are allowed to ask questions

and to give explanation to the illustration.)
As you see we are not actually at the fault
line of the Philippine Fault Zone which is the
longest fault line in the Philippines.

But why do you think we still experienced

strong earthquakes? (answer may vary)
Maybe because of the fault line from our
region which is the central leyte fault.

Correct! That is the reason why we often

experience a strong earthquake every
quarter.
For us to be much enlightened let’s watch
this short interview form PHILVOLCS. (Watch the short clip interview with
PHIVOLCS undersecretary about the Leyte
ruptures.)

Mass Wasting/Landslide

The Philippines is comprised of massive

mountain ranges that encompass several
cities and provinces. Slopes caused by
vegetation and excessive rains may affect
vulnerability of an area to mass wasting or
commonly known as landslide.

Given the geographical aspect of our

barangay or the Guintarcan Island
(mountains, and slopes are present in the
area). Are there any instances/cases of
landslide?

(the students answers may vary as they have

 things know that others may not pertaining
to the question at hand)

What do you think are the factors that

promote mass wasting

1. saturation with material with water

2. over steepened slopes
3. vegetation
4. earthquake as triggers
(the teacher may seek explanations from the
students with their answers.)

F. Generalization
Activity- Up or Down
Stand up if the statement is correct and sit
down if the statement is false.

1. Mt. Maripipi is one of the potential active 1. UP

volcano that is located at Biliran.
2. Mayon volcano is the most active volcano 2. UP
in the Philippines.
3. Typhoon wind can trigger mass wasting/ 3. DOWN
landslide.
 4. The nearest fault line in our locality is the 4. DOWN
Masbate fault line.
5. Eastern Visayas Region has the most active 5. UP
fault line.
G. Application
DETERMINE POTENTIAL HAZARDS IN THE AREA
Using geographic and hazard map of
Barangay Guintarcan.
1) Students must survey the area.
Observe carefully.
2) Record what they observe. Indicating if the
feature they observed is more of a product of
erosional or slopes that may cause mass wasting.
3) Ask them to indicate in their maps where this
potential hazards are found.
4) Discuss result with the students. They can get
some points for discussion

H. Assessment
