Content The learners should demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between
Standard faults and earthquakes.
The learners should be able to:
1. Participate in decision making on where to build structures based on
Performance knowledge of the location of active faults in the community; and
Standard 2. Make an emergency plan and prepare an emergency kit for use at home and
in school.
Using models or illustrations, explain how movements along faults generate

MELCs
earthquakes. (S8ES-IIa-15)
DAY 1 (F2F)
At the end of the lesson, learners should be able to
A. differentiate the:
1. epicenter of an earthquake from its focus
OBJECTIVE/S 2. intensity of an earthquake from its magnitude
B. perform specific activities regarding the lesson; and
C. cite some importance of familiarizing with fault lines in the Philippines.
TOPIC/S What is an earthquake, epicenter, focus, intensity, magnitude.

CLASSROOM-BASED ACTIVITIES
Classroom Routine:
a. Prayer
b. Greetings
c. Reminder of the classroom health and safety protocols
d. Checking of student attendance
e. Reminder of previous instructions
A. Recall (Elicit):
Fill in the blanks with the correct answers. Choose your answer from the box below:
Intensity Earthquake Fault lines

Epicenter Focus magnitude Fault
Seismometer
1. Magnitude is a measure of earthquake size and remains unchanged with distance from the
earthquake.
2. Intensity describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given place and
decreases with distance from the earthquake epicenter.
3. An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of
2
energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

4. Epicenter. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus or hypocenter of an
earthquake (the point within the Earth where the earthquake originated).
5. A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks
to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an
earthquake.
6. Fault lines are places where there are long breaks in the rock that forms the surface of the
earth and where earthquakes are more likely to happen.
7. The focus is a point inside the earth where the earthquake started, sometimes called the
hypocenter.
8. A seismometer is an instrument that responds to ground noises and shaking such as caused
by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions.
B. Motivation (Engage): Reading and viewing

C. Discussion of Concepts (Explore):

Discuss the concepts using a PowerPoint presentation: How an earthquake is measured.
D. Developing Mastery (Explain):

Ask the learners the following question:
1. Q: What are the 2 different ways to measure the size of an earthquake?
A: Earthquakes can be measured in two ways. One method is based on magnitude—the
amount of energy released at the earthquake source. The other is based on intensity—how
much the ground shakes at a specific location.

E. Lesson Application & Generalization (Elaborate):

(relating the lesson to daily living)
a. How do you know there is an earthquake?
F. Assessment (short quiz)

Short quiz derived from Module No. 2 (SLEM)
G. Agreement (Extend):
(additional activities for application or remediation)
Additional video clips from you tube about measuring earthquakes to be viewed.
DAY 2 (F2F)
OBJECTIVE/S At the end of the lesson, learners should be able to:

magnitude of an earthquake.
2. perform specific activities regarding the lesson; and
3. relate the lesson on determining the Philippines as an earthquake prone
country.
TOPIC/S Intensity, magnitude, Philippine setting

3. List some firsthand eye witness account or experiences during, before and after an earthquake
derived from newspaper reports and other media sources.
