SUBMITTED BY: Ms. Nikkie Rose Z. Briones

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
At the end of Grade 10, learners realize that volcanoes and earthquakes occur in the same
places in the world and that these are related to plate boundaries. They can demonstrate ways to
ensure safety and reduce damage during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
Learners can explain the factors affecting the balance and stability of an object to help them
practice appropriate positions and movements to achieve efficiency and safety such as in sports
and dancing. They can analyze situations in which energy is harnessed for human use whereby
heat is released, affecting the physical and biological components of the environment.

Learners will have completed the study of the entire organism with their deeper study of the
excretory and reproductive systems. They can explain in greater detail how genetic information is
passed from parents to offspring, and how diversity of species increases the probability of
adaptation and survival in changing environments. Learners can explain the importance of
controlling the conditions under which a chemical reaction occurs. They recognize that cells and
tissues of the human body are made up of water, a few kinds of ions, and biomolecules. These
biomolecules may also be found in the food they eat.
FIRST QUARTER: EARTH AND SPACE

Content Standard Students demonstrate an understanding of

 the relationship among the locations of volcanoes, earthquake epicentres, and mountain ranges.
Performance Standard Students shall be able to:
 demonstrate ways to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
 suggest ways by which he/she can contribute to government efforts in reducing damage due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruption.

THIRD QUARTER: LIVING THINGS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT

Content Standard  Students demonstrate understanding of:

 organisms as having feedback mechanisms, which are coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems.
 how these feedback mechanisms help the organism maintain homeostasis to reproduce and survive.
 the information stored in DNA as being used to make proteins.
 how changes in a DNA molecule may cause changes in its product .
 mutations that occur in sex cells as being heritable.
 how evolution through natural selection can result in biodiversity .
 the influence of biodiversity on the stability of ecosystems.
 an ecosystem as being capable of supporting a limited number of organisms.
Performance Standard  Students shall be able to:
 make advocacy infomercial on healthy lifestyle.
 write an essay on the importance of adaptation as a mechanism for the survival of a species.
