understanding
of:

1. the formation
of the universe
and the solar
system.
should be able to
conduct a survey
to assess the
possible geologic/
hydrometeorolog
ical hazards that
your community
may experience.
Recognize the
uniqueness of Earth,
being the only planet
in the solar system
with properties
necessary to support
life.
S11/12ES-Ia-e-3

Note: Recognize (L1)
is limited; there are
several prerequisite
content and cognitive
skills needed to arrive
at the concept of
L2: Recognize (explain) the uniqueness of Earth,
being the only planet in the solar system with properties necessary to support life.
L2: Compare the features of Earth with those of other planets
L1: List down the features of Earth
Students recall the following concepts
• characteristics of life
• needs of living things in order to survive

Make a Comparison Chart of the physical and chemical
properties of Earth and its neighboring planets (e.g.,
surface features, distance from the Sun, atmospheric
conditions, gas components, ozone, layer, cloud cover).
Students compare the features.
Q. What does Earth have that are not found in other
planets?
Q. Do you think there are living things in other planets
similar to what are found on Earth? Support your
answer.

Students reflect and put the ideas together.
Q. What makes Earth unique?
Q. What evidence support this ‘uniqueness’?

Page 2 of 55
‘uniqueness; analyze
(L4) is most
appropriate though
explain is acceptable,
hence L2)


2. the
subsystems
(geosphere,
hydrosphere,
atmosphere,
and biosphere)
that make up
the Earth.


Explain that the Earth consists of four
subsystems, across
whose boundaries
matter and energy
flow.
S11/12ES-Ia-e-4

Note: ‘Explain’ in this
case is limited- the
coverage is broad; it
is not just about
Earth’s subsystems
but also analyzing the
flow of matter and
energy. (MELC should
be L4)

L2: Explain that the Earth consists of four
subsystems, across whose boundaries matter and
energy flow
L2: Illustrate how matter is recycled on Earth

L2: Illustrate the one-way flow of energy across
subsystems

L2: Interpret a diagram to explain Earth’s
subsystems.

L2: Derive the meaning of ‘Earth as a system’
based on real-life examples.

L1: Give examples of objects that is described as
a system, naming parts that work together


Students derive the meaning of ‘system’ based on real-life
examples: a bicycle, sewing machine, water system in the
house, and/or the human body.
Q. What is each system composed of?
Q. How do the parts relate to each other?
Q. What is Earth made of? Why is Earth a system?

Students interpret a diagram to explain how land, water,
living things, and air interact; points out that Earth system
is made up of subsystems or spheres: “lithosphere” (land),
"hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and
"atmosphere" (air).

Cite examples of phenomena or situations that show connection between and among Earth’s subsystems. e.g., typhoons, ash fall from a volcanic eruption, decrease in
vegetation, soil erosion, drought.
3. the Earth’s
internal structure
*not in the MELC; discussed in JHS.

Using a diagram, students illustrate how matter circulates
or is recycled on Earth e.g., composting of organic wastes, carbon and oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle, phosphorus
cycle, and the water cycle.
Using a diagram, students trace the one-way flow of
energy e.g., energy from the Sun enters Earth, organisms use the energy (trophic levels) and energy not used is released as heat to the environment

demonstrates
an
understanding
of the three
main categories
of rocks

Identify common
rock-forming minerals using their physical and chemical
properties.
S11/12ES-Ia-9

Note: The LC is not
limited to identifying
rock forming
minerals. They have
to learn what
minerals are. They
have to compare the
properties of each
kind.

L2: Identify common rock-forming minerals using
their physical and chemical properties.
L2: Compare properties of different rock -forming
minerals

L2: Describe what ‘mineral’ means in geology: a
naturally occurring inorganic element or
compound having an orderly internal structure
and characteristic chemical composition, crystal
form, and physical properties.

L1: Describe stalagmites and stalactites.

L1. Name some birthstones

Let student share what they know about properties of
minerals
Start the lesson by discussing caves. Many places in the
Philippines have caves. Students recall experience inside a
cave (e.g., Tabon Cave in Quezon, Palawan or in the
Underground River in Puerto Princesa). Show pictures to
help those who have not been inside a cave.
Q. Did you notice pointed rocks hanging from the cave
ceiling and those that grow upward from the cave
floor? Describe their appearance.
Q. What do you think makes them sparkle like crystals?

Discuss how stalagmites and stalactites are formed by
minerals.

As an application of minerals let students share what they
know about the use of dolomite in Manila Bay.
Students will also discuss gemstones in jewelry e.g., ring,
bracelet, or a necklace. Gemstones are made of rock-
forming minerals. Discuss birthstones and their properties.
Students observe real samples if possible OR pictures of
common rock-forming minerals to describe characteristics
and properties.

Q. Why are they called rock-forming minerals?

Explain that Geologists can tell rock-forming minerals
based on crystal forms, cleavage and hardness using their crystal structure at the atomic level. Color and density are
determined primarily by the chemical composition.

demonstrates
an
understanding
of the origin
and
Classify rocks into
igneous, sedimentary,
and metamorphic.
S11/12ES-Ib-10

L2: Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and
metamorphic.

L1: Recognize the properties of rocks.

Students collect different types of rocks in their locality
(small sizes not too heavy so they can bring them to
school or home). They use the naked eye or with a
hand lens, to observe their physical appearance. They
recall the characteristics of different

Page 4 of 55
environment of
formation of
common
minerals and
rocks



Suggestion:
For continuity follow this lesson with formation of the
different types of
igneous rocks.
S11/12ES-Ic-18 and

Describe how the
layers of rocks
(stratified rocks) are
formed.
S11/12ES-Ie-25

types of rocks and classify them based on properties
observed.
They use a chart to classify and label them correctly (using
permanent colored pen or paint) as igneous, sedimentary,
or metamorphic. They identify rocks that are used in the
community and tell why they are used there.


demonstrates
an
understanding
of geologic
processes that
occur on the
surface of the
Earth such as
weathering,
erosion, mass
wasting, and
sedimentation
(include the
role of ocean
basins in the
formation of
sedimentary
rocks).
Explain how the
products of weathering are
carried away by erosion and deposited elsewhere.
S11/12ES-Ib-12




L2: Explain how the products of weathering are
carried away by erosion and deposited elsewhere.
L1: Recall indicators of weathering and erosion.
Students locate places in the community that show
evidence of weathering and erosion. They infer where these materials are deposited and give a reason for the inference.
Q. Why do rivers become turbid after a heavy rain?
Q. Where do the sediments in the riverbed and in the
coastal area come from?

Discuss that weathering and erosion include the effects of
wind and rain, which slowly break down large rocks into
smaller ones. Weathering and erosion transform boulders
and even mountains into sediments, such as sand or mud.
These three processes create the raw materials for new
sedimentary rocks.
Students relate how weathering and erosion to lead to
formation of sedimentary rocks. They discuss other
importance of erosion and weathering

demonstrates
an
understanding
of geologic
processes that
occur within the
Earth.
Describe where the
Earth’s internal heat comes from.
S11/12ES-Ib-14









L2: Describe where the Earth’s internal heat
comes from.

L1: Name/Enumerate the layers of the Earth and
the processes that occur in the different layers

Students recall experiences bathing in a hot spring pool.
Q. Why is the water in the pool hot?
Q. What heats up the water underground? Accept any
answer.

Students relate underground springs or hot springs,
getting their heat by contact with the heated magma
underneath the Earth's surface.
Where does the heat come from?

Use a watermelon or any big fruit to represent Earth. Get
a copy of the diagram of the internal structure of the
Earth. Explain the Earth’s internal structure, using the
watermelon and diagram. Students describe the analogy:
Earth’s lithosphere (melon skin), mantle (flesh), and the
core (innermost/central part)

OR show a YouTube video of the internal structure of
Earth. Prepare guide questions before showing the video.
Process what they learn from the video.

Students summarize the three main sources of heat deep
inside Earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed which
has not yet been lost; (2) friction caused by denser core
material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat
from the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium.
(http://earthsky.org).

Students answer the questions posed at the start of the
lesson

Describe how magma
is formed (magmatism).
S11/12ES-Ic-15


L2: Describe how magma is formed (magmatism).
L1: Recall what magma is.


Students watch a YouTube video to observe how magma is
formed. After watching, students write a 5-sentence
paragraph to describe how magma is formed.

Students relate magma with volcanic eruption. Use the
sample tasks or questions below or phrase similar ones.
Q. Name an active volcano in the Philippines.

Page 6 of 55
Q. Which volcano erupted recently?
Q. Why can one predict that a volcano will erupt? What are
the signs?
Q. Name at least three materials emitted by volcanic
eruption. How do these affect people, animals, and the
environment?
Q. Study the illustration and tell the difference between
magma and lava.

Compare and
contrast the
formation of the
different types of
igneous rocks.
S11/12ES-Ic-18

L4: Compare and contrast the formation of the
different types of igneous rocks.
L3: Use the different types of igneous rocks in home landscaping or as decorative displays.

L2: Describe how to determine texture, density,
and mineral composition of a piece of igneous
rock

L1: Recall what magma is; what lava is









Use real samples of labeled igneous rocks to enable
students to compare their properties and organize the observations in a chart. In places where erupting volcanoes spew lava, igneous rocks are easy to find.
Properties
of igneous rocks
Intrusive or
plutonic

Extrusive or
volcanic
Texture (coarse or fine)
Color
Density (mass/volume)
Appearance (glassy,
with large or small
bubbles, with fine or
large grains

Students summarize the similarities and differences
between two kinds of igneous rocks based on how they
were formed. Explain that texture depends on the shape,
size, time period to cool down and solidify, and the
arrangement of crystals in the rock.

demonstrates
an
understanding
of
1. the folding and faulting of rocks.

Explain how the
movement of plates
leads to the
formation of folds
and faults.
S11/12ES-Id-22


L2: Explain how the movement of plates leads to
the formation of folds and faults.

L2: Demonstrate how two objects (plates) 1)
move towards each other and collide; 2) move
away from each other, and 3) slide past each
other.

This topic plate tectonic and folding and faulting were
discussed in JHS. Run through the review and focus on
the relevance of these topics to real life

Start the lesson by using students’ experiences when
hiking e.g., climbing a high mountain or moving down into
a deep valley. Specify the name of the mountain or valley
in your locality or nearby. Ask: How are mountains and

Page 7 of 55
2. plate
tectonics
L1: Recall what are Earth’s plates and plate
boundaries
valleys formed? Accept all answers without correcting
them.

Show an illustration of Earth’s plates. Students use two
flat pieces of modeling clay to represent Earth’s plates.

Students observe and describe what happens to two plate
boundaries when they
1) come together and collide (convergent movement)
2) move away from each other (divergent movement) and
3) slide past each other (transform-fault movement)

Show diagrams to make the concept clearer.
Q. Which plate movement forms mountain ranges?
Q. Which plate movement forms valleys?
Q. Which forms folds?
Q. Which forms faults?

Students locate a fault in a map in or near your
community and share what they know about it.

Describe how the
layers of rocks (stratified rocks) are formed.
S11/12ES-Ie-25

L2: Describe how the layers of rocks (stratified
rocks) are formed.

Students visit an area in the locality where layers of rocks
can be found. They take a close-up photo of the layer of rocks. Note: If not possible to do this activity in the real
setting, show real samples of rocks to observe. Some
questions to use:
Q. Can you recognize the individual and distinct boundary
between each layer?
Q. How do you think the layers were formed? Why are
they in layers?
Q. What is meant by stratified rocks?
Q. Why are sedimentary rocks also called stratified rock?
Q. Why do you think they come in different colors? Q. Which is softer - sedimentary or igneous rock? Explain
your answer.

Students simulate the process of accumulation and
hardening of sediments using mud, sand, silt and

Page 8 of 55
disintegrated rocks but reminding them that this process
happens over a period of time. They explain how the
action of wind and rain cause layering and/or relate the
formation of stratified rocks through weathering erosion,
and compaction of the deposited materials.

Sedimentary rocks may range from green to gray, or red to
brown, depending on iron content.
demonstrates
an
understanding
of how the
planet Earth
evolved in the
last 4.6 billion
years (including
the age of the
Earth, major
geologic time
subdivisions,
and marker
fossils)

Describe the different
methods (relative and
absolute dating) of
determining the age of stratified rocks.
S11/12ES-Ie-26

For the term relative dating, let the student visualize it on
the concept by using the term Oldest and Youngest in
terms of layers of rocks

Q. Where can we find the oldest layers of sedimentary
rocks?
Q. Where can we find the youngest layers of sedimentary
rocks?

For the term absolute dating, make use of numbers of
examples millions and billions of years ago.

Explain how relative
and absolute dating is
used to determine
the subdivision of
geologic time.
S11/12ES-Ie-27


Describe how the
Earth’s history can be interpreted from the
geologic time scale.
S11/12ES-Ie-29

Geologic Time Scale can also simplify as scale on
measuring the approximate time where it exists on Earth

demonstrates
an
understanding
of the different
hazards caused
by geological
processes
(earthquakes,
volcanic
eruptions, and
landslides)
Describe the various
hazards that may happen in the event of earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions,
and landslides.
S11/12ES-If-30

in the event of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.

L1: Recall the various hazards that may happen in the event of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and
landslides.
Students share their personal experience or stories
read/heard related to earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and landslide.

Students make a chart to show the effect of earthquakes,
volcanic eruption, and landslide e.g., a) ground shaking, b)
tsunami, c). ruptured water or electricity line, d)
crumbled/collapsed buildings, e) trapping people, f) soil
liquefaction

Students reflect on the following:
Q. Why are these events called hazards?
Q. When do these events become a disaster?
Q. How could such disasters be prevented?

Identify human
activities that speed
up or trigger
landslides.
S11/12ES-If-33

Note to merge MELCs 15,16 &17
S11/12ES-If-31
S11/12ES-If-33
S11/12ES-Ig-36

Hazard map can be simplified as danger or risk map. The
lesson should emphasize safety and precautionary
measures about the different hazards.
Students share stories or experiences related to the
following events: a) storm surge, b) landslides (already in
previous MELC), c) flash floods,
d) ipo-ipo, e) tropical cyclone


Use the following or similar questions for each of the
events:
Q. When did (that event) happen?
Q. What was observed when (that event) happened? Q. What did you do when (that event) happen?
Q. Who were affected (by that event)?

Page 10 of 55
Q. Which of these events could have been prevented?
How?
Q. What could be done to reduce the risks of these
events?

Request a copy of the Hazard Map from your Barangay or
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office
For group study
Q. Identify areas in your locality which are prone to the
hazards mentioned.
Q. Brainstorm on how knowing /using the Hazard Map
could help prevent disasters caused by the events
mentioned?
Q. How could you help disseminate information about the
hazards to others in the community?

demonstrates
an understanding of the different
hazards caused
by coastal
processes
(waves, tides,
sea-level
changes, crustal
movement, and
storm surges)
Describe how coastal
processes result in coastal erosion,
submersion, and salt-
water intrusion.
S11/12ES-Ih-38

L2: Describe how coastal processes result in
coastal erosion, submersion, and salt- water
intrusion.

L1: Identify some natural processes that might
destroy the natural beauty of coastal areas.
L1: Name some human activities that contribute to destruction of the coastal areas.

This competency is considered less priority because they
were supposed to have been learned in JHS. include them in the discussion but not spend too much time.

If in or near a coastal area, students describe the coastal
area nearest to them, e.g., how it looks, how it is used,
how it affects people. If the location is inland, use the
following: Have you been to a white sand beach (e.g. in
Palawan, Siargao, Boracay)? Describe your observations.

Students discuss the importance of coastal areas (also in
Batangas, Pangasinan, Bohol, Cebu, practically all over the
Philippines) in the tourism industry, as source of food and
livelihood, and others.

Students analyze how the following coastal processes
result in coastal erosion: submersion, and salt-water
intrusion.

Explain related technical terms by giving examples e.g,
action of waves, hydraulic action , water current, tides,
erosion by wind and water, wind-driven water.

Page 11 of 55

Students explain how they know if there is salt-water
intrusion in their community.

Cite ways to prevent
or mitigate the
impact of land
development, waste
disposal, and
construction of
structures on control
coastal processes.
S11/12ES-Ii-41
Note: Cite is a low-
level skill. The LC requires analyses of
the activities related
to land development.
Waste disposal is not
directly related to
land development

Suggestion: Use L4 as

L4: Cite ways to prevent or mitigate the impact of
land development, waste disposal, and
construction of structures on control coastal
processes.
L3: Illustrate how the activities affect people and the environment in general

L2: Identify effect of these activities on people
and the environment in general

L1: Give examples of activities related to land
development or construction of structures in or
near coastal areas, mountain side, or plains/flat
lands.
Do not limit discussion of land development to coastal
areas if this is not the environment where you are in. Use
local situations to discuss land development applicable to your community or region (e.g., land reclamation,
converting wetlands into resorts if in a e.g., coastal area or
converting rice fields or carving mountain side into
housing or human settlement areas).

Students give examples of land reclamation projects in the
community or elsewhere in the region or country,
describe what is done when creating new land from the
sea (e.g., the simplest method involves filling the area with
large amounts of heavy rock and/or cement, then filling
with clay and soil until the desired height is reached).
Expand your example to the reclamation of nearshore
Manila Bay.

Discuss the science-related aspects of the positive and
negative effects of land development. Students
brainstorm on ways to prevent or mitigate the impact of
land development in their own environmental setting.
Discuss safety measures or control measures

Discuss waste disposal separately from land development
issues. Use the situation: Why did DENR order the closure
of Boracay Island and placed it under rehabilitation
program in Feb 2018?

L1: Name/Enumerate the materials presented by
archeologists as evidence that life on Earth
evolved.
S11/12LT-IIa-1

L2: Explain evolving concepts of life based on emerging
pieces of evidence.
Do you know that…. the earliest evidence of life comes
from biogenic carbon signatures and stromatolite fossils
discovered in 3.7-billion-year-old metasedimentary rocks
from Western Greenland. In 2015, possible “remains of
biotic life” were found in 4.1 -billion-year-old rocks in
Western Australia.

L1: Enumerate the materials presented by archeologists as
evidence that life on Earth evolved.

Describe how unifying

Prepare diagrams: 1) Levels of organization of the human body; 2) Comparison of organs /organ systems in humans, frog, mice, and monkey.

Pose the question: What do humans, frogs, cats, sharks
have in common in terms of organs and organ systems?



Students explain what the terms and the arrows mean:
cells tissues organs organ systems organism. They
recall the different organs and organ systems in humans
and their functions

Students compare organs and organ systems of humans
and animals (technically “non-human animals”). They may
look different, at a physiological and anatomical level, but
they are remarkably similar. Frogs, mice, monkeys, cats,
have the same organs (heart, lungs, brain etc.) and organ
systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous systems.
etc.) as humans.

COMPETENCIES







Unifying Theme 2: Ecosystems

L3: Illustrate how living things interact with their
physical environment

L2: Give examples of relationships between and
among living things

L1: Name the two components of the ecosystem.





















Students discuss how organ systems work together to
keep the animal (an organism) alive. Example:
cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The cardiovascular
system includes our heart and blood vessels, which
function to remove deoxygenated blood from and return
oxygenated blood throughout our body. Students give
other examples of organ systems working together.

Unifying Theme 2: Ecosystems
Students recall the two components of the environment:
biotic and abiotic and the relationship between and
among living things e.g., symbiotic, mutualism,
commensalism, parasitism, using examples from their
environment. Students also illustrate how living things
need nonliving things to survive.
Prepare a diagram that shows levels of organization in an ecosystem with examples that students can relate to.

Organism or one individual e.g., A bat, a tapeworm, a
carabao, a coconut tree, one bangus, human being)

Population: a group of animals of the same species living
in a particular area e.g. humans in a barangay, coconut
trees in an island, group of bats in a cave, tamaraws in
Mindoro, tarsiers in Bohol

Community: populations of different species in a given
area interacting with members of their own species
and/or with individuals of other species (e.g., birds living
in the canopy of a single rainforest tree or of all the trees
in the forest using them as nest or source of food, or a
community of crocodiles in a swamp fighting for food)

Ecosystem: all the living things in an area interacting with
the abiotic components of the environment; can be small

and function, evolution, and ecosystems) in the
study of life show the connections among living
things and how they interact with each other and
with their environment






island. Major ecosystem include terrestrial (where we live)
forest, grassland, freshwater, and marine.

Biosphere: the combination of different ecosystems on
the planet. Our biosphere is Earth
Unifying Theme 3: Evolution
Relate how the unifying themes of life - structure and
function and ecosystems interact with each other through
a long process called evolution.

The key idea: Nearly all things that make life possible
comes from the Sun’s energy. The absorption of energy is first taken up by plants and spreads out into the entire ecosystem through the food chain. Energy triggers activities of the cell to multiply and induce growth and
reproduction, along with heredity. Evolution - the change
in the characteristics of a species over several generations
and relies on the process of natural selection - plays a part
in every organism to ensure survival and continuity, and all those who survive become interdependent with each
other, creating the environment we know.

Students recall how their pets (cats, dog, and/or farm
animals) produce offspring. How about starfish? or bacteria?

Show a video in Tagalog about sexual and asexual
reproduction (e.g., literacy corner
http://youtube.www.com.). Make a Venn diagram to
compare sexual and asexual reproduction. Give examples
of animals that reproduce sexually and asexually.

Focus on how bacteria reproduce. Relate reproduction to
why bacteria can cause deadly infection like tuberculosis,
tetanus, leptospirosis, pneumonia, cholera, and botulism.

Page 15 of 55
Read on 1) animals that reproduce asexually e.g., sharks
and rays; 2) animals that reproduce both sexually and
asexually e.g., some star fish, wasps

Additional information: How do viruses (e.g., COVID 19
virus) reproduce? Viruses rely on the cells of other
organisms to survive and reproduce, because they can't
capture or store energy themselves.

Students summarize in their own words the process of
reproduction e.g., the process by which organisms
replicate themselves, making a copy, a likeness, and
thereby providing for the continued existence of species.

Describe the process
of genetic
engineering.
S11/12LT-IIej-17


.







L2: Describe the process of genetic engineering.
L1: Recall some breeding techniques e.g., cross
breeding and tissue



Genetic engineering is very technical so the lesson can
focus on advantages and disadvantages of GMOs (as product and as a process)
Students recall that organisms are made up of genes-the
basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are
made up of DNA.
Introduce human-developed techniques in producing
offspring, e.g., crossbreeding and tissue . Assign students: one group locates individuals or groups in the community
who do crossbreeding, and the other group looks for
individuals or groups doing tissue culture. They conduct an
Interview on how these are done, why it is done,
advantages, challenges, and how long it takes to produce
offspring. Show pictures of crossbreeding e.g., in pigs,
cows, horses and practice of tissue culture e.g., growing
orchids, bananas.

Introduce genetic engineering where a scientist tweaks
the genes to create a more desirable organism. Explain
that the genetic material of a cell is manipulated in order
to produce a new characteristic in an organism. Genes
from plants, microbes, and animals can be recombined

Page 16 of 55
(hence called recombinant DNA) and introduced into the
living cells of any of these organisms. For example, corn
has been modified by food engineers to be resistant to
specific bugs. You might see this on the food package as
GMO (genetically modified organisms).
NOTE: Students do not have to study step by step how
GE is done.

Share the information that techniques in genetic
engineering have led to the production of medically
important products, including human insulin, human
growth hormone, and hepatitis B vaccine as well as
disease-resistant plants.

and risks of using
GMOs.

that have a label for ‘non-GMO’. Why do you think the
product label is necessary?

hunger problem, and effect on the economy. They
summarize the information read.

S11/12LT -IVfg-26




Explain Charles Darwin’s concept of evolution as "descent
with modification" - species change over time, give rise to
new species, and share a common ancestor. It means
passing on traits from parent organisms to their offspring.
This passing on of traits is known as heredity, and the
basic unit of heredity is the gene. Discuss concept of
natural selection also known as “survival of the fittest,”

These modifications occur relatively slowly on average:
small incremental changes added up over many
generations.

Is the difference in weight of a population caused by
evolution? No. it came about because of environmental
influences, like the low food supply —not because of a
change in the frequency of genes.

Are beetles with of a different color e.g., . brown (not
bright green) an example of descent with modification?
Why or why not? Do giraffes having long necks an
example of descent with modification? Why or why not?
Give other examples from your own community.

environmental resistance (e.g., diseases, availability of food, and predators) that affect population explosion.
L1: Recall the different biotic potential and environmental resistance (e.g., diseases, availability of food, and predators) that affect
population explosion.
Biotic potential and environmental resistance are
technical, but they can be introduced using
Present the question: is there a limit or a maximum
number of individuals a species can produce? Support
your answer.

Introduce the term biotic potential or the ability of a
population of a particular species to propagate under ideal
environmental conditions. Students discuss factors that
may affect biotic potential e.g., sufficient food supply,
absence of diseases, and no predators) These factors are
called environmental resistance – they limit the biotic
potential of an organism and includes abiotic and biotic
factors.

Relate biotic potential to carrying capacity or the species'
average population size in a particular habitat. The species
population size is limited by environmental factors like
adequate food, shelter, water, and mates. If these needs
are not met, the population will decrease until the
resource rebounds. When a population is below the
carrying capacity, the individuals have access to more than
enough resources to survive. If individuals have the ideal
circumstances, they can reproduce without limit, which
causes population increases. Discuss the effects of
overpopulation on people, environment and economy.

However, depending on your student’s capacity, the
discussion on the formation of elements can be included if
it will help understand the concepts about elements in the
periodic table.
Note: If teachers decide to cover how heavy elements
were formed, first discuss how the lighter elements (H,
He, Li and Be) were formed. DO NOT FORGET to state the
condition (high temperature) that allowed the formation
of light elements. On the formation of heavy elements,
the simplest and lowest level of analogy is to use concrete
objects such as beads to represent each element. You also
need 8 different colors of homemade or store-bought clay.
Add clay on the beads and they will see that as the colored
clay is added the beads become heavier and bigger in size.

The formation of heavier elements during star formation
(birth of a star) and what happen when stars die are also
technical. One suggestion is for students to construct a
diagram of their own life -from birth to present and relate
to the birth and death of the star. However, this analogy
does not come close to explaining formation of heavier
elements.

As in how light and heavier elements were formed, the
topic on how synthetic elements were synthesized in the
laboratory is also ‘low priority’ to ALS learners. It is more
important for them to know about the elements, their
properties, and how they are used in daily life or in the
workplace. The PT is a good reference for this lesson .

Note: Use an illustration or model of the molecules to
visualize the structure of molecules.

Students give examples of molecules found at home (e.g.,
water, vinegar, alcohol, oil, sugar, ascorbic acid (Vit C).
They recall 1) Molecules are made up two or more
elements; 2) Some molecules are made up of the same
kind of element (e.g., H2, O2, O3); 3) Other molecules are
made up of 2 or more kinds of elements (e.g., H2O, CO2,
C6H6O6); Explain what the numbers (subscript) mean.

Note: Students need to use the periodic table in this
lesson. Unlock the technical terms as you go through the
lesson.

Explain that molecules can be grouped based on their
properties- one property is polarity. Students do an
activity. In three clear thin bottles, mix equal amounts (say
5 mL) of water and oil (in B1), water and vinegar (in B2), oil
and kerosene/gasoline (in B3). They share observations.
Use their observations to explain polar and nonpolar
molecules.

sample molecules to determine the kind of chemical bond
present (ionic, polar covalent , nonpolar covalent) and why
that chemical bond.

Using molecular models of polyatomic molecules, explain
why that molecule is polar or nonpolar based on its
shape/geometry.

Students recall their observation in the activity: B1) water
& oil (2 phases /2 layers); B2) water & vinegar (one phase)
B3) oil & kerosene (one phase). Explain the observation
based on polarity using the concept “like dissolves like”.
Water mixes with vinegar (both are polar); Water does not
mix with oil (oil is nonpolar); Oil mixes with kerosene
(both are nonpolar). Explain a) why water alone cannot
clean oily plates or clothes; b) why oil spills in the sea or
rivers are dangerous.

As a supplement, show a video on polar and nonpolar
molecules. As an application, students can determine
substances present in their homes whether they are polar

Note: Understanding intermolecular forces helps students
to explain many observations in nature.

Students recall the meaning of force - a push or a pull. They
give examples where force is applied in daily life. Pose
questions like: Are there forces between molecules? How
do we know? Use situations such as: Why does water have
a high boiling point compared with ammonia? Why can
insects walk in water? Why are raindrops spherical in
shape? Why can water move up from the roots of plants to the stem and other parts of the plant? Why is honey viscous (does not flow easily)?

Explain the meaning of intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA) – the forces of attraction or repulsion which act
between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).
The concept of IMFA explains the situations given above.

Students recall the food groups they eat. Ask: What do
these food provide to your body? Answers should be
about food providing the body with the nutrients it needs
to survive. Introduce that many of these critical nutrients
are biological macromolecules, or large molecules,
necessary for life.

Show illustrations of the structure of four biological
macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and
nucleic acids) that are essential to the proper functioning
of all living things.

Discuss the macromolecules one by one using diagrams
(but first explain what monomer and polymer mean using
different color toy blocks) OR select a video with simple
language (e.g. DepEdTV official on the topic) for students
to watch.

Discussion should lead to understanding of the similarities
and differences among the macromolecules.
● All of these compounds are built primarily of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios.
● Most macromolecules are made from single subunits,
or building blocks, called monomers. The
monomers combine with each other using covalent
bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers.
- Proteins: polymers of amino acids)
- Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars)
- Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers)

which two or more bodies exert forces on each other in a
relatively short time). They give situations that show
collision and the result of that collision. Introduce that
collision also occurs between or among molecules.

molecules occupy themselves. 3) The molecules are in constant motion. This motion is different for each of the three states of matter. They are colliding with each other
and the walls of their container. When the molecules
collide with each other, or with the walls of a container,
there is no significant loss of energy. Use models or

quickly in hot or cold water? What is the effect of stirring
the powdered orange drink when added to water? Which
dissolves faster - sugar cubes or sugar in powder fo rm?

Note: Understanding the role of catalysts helps students
explain the processes in making products they eat or use.
They learn some medical/health practices used to address
lack of catalyst/enzymes in the body.
Start the lesson by asking: Are you familiar with how
coconut water, tuba from nipa, or pineapple, banana, or any sugary fruit is made into vinegar? What is added to the main ingredient? Yes- Yeast. Why is yeast added?

Explain that you don't have to add the yeast. Yeast spores
are in the air everywhere and will find their way to the
liquid, but if you take this natural yeast approach it will
take a bit longer to make your vinegar. Yeast serves as a
catalyst to speed up a hemical reaction without being
consumed by the reaction. It increases the reaction rate
by lowering the activation energy (level of energy) needed
for a reaction to occur.
Introduce enzymes: These are proteins that act as
catalysts in biochemical reactions. Examples of specific
enzymes
● Lipases: group of enzymes that help digest fats in the
gut.
● Amylase – helps change starches into sugars

To let them visualize the role of catalyst in their body by
relating it to a real-life situation. Discuss 1) how chewing
food improves digestion or 2) what doctors prescribe to
people whose gallbladder has been removed. or 3) what
enzymes do cows have that humans do not have?

Another activity: Students search for local products that
use catalysts in the process of making them e.g., baking
bread, nata de coco, wine or in decomposition of organic
wastes). They interview people then make a report on
why and how that particular catalyst is used.

Note: In a chemical reaction, the concept of
moles is important. For ALS learners mole is a
difficult concept, hence simple examples are used
instead.
Use real-life problem-solving situations to explain limiting
reagents e.g., You have 5 hot dogs and 4 buns. Assuming
that hot dogs and buns combine in a 1:1 ratio, how many
hot dog sandwiches can you make? Once you run out of
buns, you stop making hot dog sandwiches. The number of
buns limits the number of hot dog sandwiches you can
produce. What ingredient is in excess?

As another example. You have 2 boxes of premix cake
ingredients. You need 2 eggs per box of the premixed
ingredient. You have a dozen eggs. What are your
reactants? Label them R1 and R2. What is the ratio
between R1 and R2? What is the limiting reagent? What is
the reactant in excess?

Students derive the meaning of limiting reagent from the
examples. In a chemical reaction, the limiting reactant (or
limiting reagent) is the reactant that gets consumed first
and therefore limits how much product can be formed.
The reaction is stopped when a reactant runs out. The
limiting reactant is very important since it stops the
reaction...it controls the amount of product made.

Students illustrate the limiting reagent when making
kakanin lumpia, or any popular dish in your community.

Give mathematical problem exercises to find the limiting
reactant and product.

Earth is spherical.

L1: A spherical shape is a 3-d version of the 2-d
circle e.g., a ball is spherical.
L1: The only shape that casts a round shadow no matter which direction it is pointed is a sphere




Note: This lesson emphasizes the use of science processes
such as observation, prediction, and reasoning (need for
evidence) to explain events/phenomena.

A suggested activity is to first conduct a short class debate
on the topic: Is Earth spherical?
Then, let students do the activity:
Prepare a flashlight and two ping pong balls. In a dark
room, align the flashlight and the balls horizontally.
Illuminate one ball with the flashlight and observe the
shadow it casts on the ball behind it. What is the shape of
the shadow?

Relate the activity observations with the lesson. Discuss
the shape of Earth based on evidence. Our direct
evidence is that Earth appears to be round when viewed
from space).

observations of what is happening in nature, not by doing
laboratory-based experiments. They used a ‘large scale
laboratory -the Earth and Space. So how did the Greeks
discover that the Earth is round?
1. Travelers saw different constellations as the
y traveled
north or south. They inferred that Earth must at
minimum be curved in a north-south direction (but not
necessarily in an east-west direction)
2. They noticed that ships sailing into view on the horizon
had their masts gradually appear as they approached,
and that the horizon became further away when
viewed from higher elevations on hilltops or mountains.
This led to the conclusion that Earth must be curved in
all directions (east-west as well as north -south)

Aristotle (384-372 BC) used the sci entific method to
confirm that the Earth is ‘round’. His observation: During a
lunar eclipse, Earth casts a shadow unto the surface of the
Moon. His hypothesis: The shadow always seems to be an
arc of the same circle. Earth, which is the cause of the
shadow, must be ‘round’. His prediction: Any and all
future lunar eclipse would show Earth’s shadow to be
curved regardless of its orientation. His testing procedure:
Observe every time a lunar eclipse occurs. His conclusion.
Earth is round.

about the shape of Earth

that Earth is not flat. 1) On a day with scattered clouds, all

S11/12PS-IVc-47

L2: Explain how Galileo inferred that object in
vacuum fall with uniform acceleration, and that
force is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion
In a simplified term, vacuum can be described as a space
without air that’s why the object falls at the same rate.

Pose this question: Imagine yourself holding a bowling
ball and a ping pong ball. If you drop these balls
simultaneously, which ball do you think would have
greater acceleration upon reaching the ground? Support
your answer.

Let students try out the activity below

Hold a book and a piece of paper at the same height (how
high?) then drop them simultaneously. Did the objects
reach the ground at the same time? If not, which object
reached the ground first?
Now, perform the same procedure, but this time, crumple
the paper. Did the objects reach the ground at the same
time? If not, which object reached the ground first?

This experiment agrees with Galileo’s findings that when there is little or no air resistance, objects that are dropped simultaneously will reach the ground at the same time, regardless of their masses. Given that both objects (paper
and book) reached the ground simultaneously, we can
infer that the increase in speed of each object is equal.

Therefore, falling objects have the same acceleration
when there is no air resistance (e.g., vacuum).

from the same height and in a vacuum, they will fall at the

and its relation to motion.

Introduce Thomas Young, a physicist in England who
in1891, explained that light behaves as a wave. He passed
a beam of light through two thin, parallel slits. ... The
bright and dark bands demonstrated that the slits were
causing light waves to interfere with each other. Einstein,
on the other hand, believed that light is a particle , which is
called a photon , and the flow of photons is a wave. Thus, it
acts like both a wave and a particle.

Discuss answers to the questions using the wave model
and the particle model of light. The photoelectric
effect supports a particle theory of light in that it behaves
like an elastic collision between two particles, the photon
of light and the electron of the metal. Or observe the
smoke coming from a barbecue grill. From a distance, you
will see a wave flow of smoke going up, but look closely
into it, what do you see.

refraction can be observed in daily life using common

Students recall what they think about when they hear the word
‘light’. The usual answer is ‘what their eyes can see’. Explain that
the light to which our eyes are sensitive is just a small portion of
the total amount of light that surrounds us.

Simple activities can be performed to explain the concept of
electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to
describe the entire range of light that exists. Most of the light in
the universe is, in fact, invisible to us!

Give example to show and explain the electromagnetic
spectrum of light from longest wavelength to shortest: radio
waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and
gamma-rays. Visible light is approximately in the middle of the
spectrum, and comprises a very small fraction of the overall
spectrum

UV waves are shorter than visible light waves, so UV possesses
more energy than regular light. UV photons have the right
energies to cause chemical changes. When UV light hits your
skin, the DNA in your skin cells can undergo chemical change. ...
If the damage is too great, the cells just die.

Darkrooms use red lighting to allow photographers to control
light carefully, so that light-sensitive photographic paper would
not become overexposed and ruin the pictures during the
developing process. But darkrooms are not as popular or

L2: Describe how Hertz produced radio pulses

L1: Recall what is meant by a pulse of radio
waves (a very brief radio signal; especially from a
celestial object)

Show a video on how Hertz produced radio pulses. Simple
activities can also be performed to explain the
concept of electromagnetic spectrum.

The lesson focuses on the concept of radio waves - a type
of electromagnetic radiation best-known for their use in
communication technologies, such as television, mobile
phones, radios and even remote-controlled toys.
These devices receive radio waves and convert them to
mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound
waves. Most radio waves pass freely through Earth's
atmosphere.

Students review the electromagnetic spectrum and clarify
terms related to radio waves: radio frequency and its uses

Explain how the speeds and distances of far-off
objects are estimated (e.g., doppler effect and

Note: The lesson is focused on the uses of Doppler effects
in ambulance sirens and in tracking typhoons by PAGASA.

Students recall the sound they hear as an ambulance
speeds towards them, sirens blazing. The sound heard is
rather high in pitch. When the ambulance passes the
person, the sound becomes lower in pitch. Behind the
ambulance there are fewer vibrations per second, and a
lower sound is heard. This change in pitch is known as the
Doppler Effect.
Have you heard PAGASA meteorologists use the term
Doppler effect? The Doppler effect, or Doppler
shift, describes the changes in frequency of any kind of
sound or light wave produced by a moving source with
respect to an observer. Waves emitted by an object
traveling toward an observer get compressed —
prompting a higher frequency — as the source approaches
the observer.

Doppler effect is used to measure speed in RADAR sensors such as Wind Finding Radar to determine the speed and direction of winds aloft by means of radar echoes. A radar target is attached to a balloon, and it is this target that is
tracked by ground radar. The bearing and time of interval
of the echoes is evaluated by a receiver. Another
instrument used by PAGASA is Weather Surveillance
Radar -a long range type which detects and tracks
typhoons and cloud masses at a distance of 400
kilometers or less.

Students mention other uses of the Doppler effect.

L1: Identify the five health-related fitness (HRF)
components and what each means: 1) body
composition, 2) flexibility, 3) muscular strength, 4) muscular endurance, and 5) cardiorespiratory
endurance.




In Physical Education the first part is to perform
physical fitness. They do self-assessment of activities
related to health.

Individual students name the daily physical activity
and/or exercises that he/she commonly does at home, at
work, in school, or in the barangay.

Students differentiate ‘physical activities’ from
‘exercises’. They discuss the safety measures or the Do’s
and Don’ts.

Students recall what is meant by each of the five HRF
components and give examples of activities or exercises
that promote them. They share which of the activities
and exercises they do themselves.

To assess their HRF, students determine their BMI and
check against standards good for their age.

They demonstrate activities and exercises that support
development of each of the HRF components. They
name local athletes or personalities who exhibit e.g.,
flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance.

Students reflect on why they do not (regularly) do or
participate in HRF activities. They think of ways to
overcome these barriers. They reflect on their eating
habits and how these can improve their HRF status.
They assess their HRF status at the start and end of the
semester, if possible.

based on training principles to achieve and/or
maintain health-related fitness (HRF).

L1: Recognize the training principles to achieve
and/or maintain health-related fitness goals

Introduce what FITT stands for by giving examples.
Frequency refers to how often you exercise. Intensity
is how hard you exercise- categorized as low,
moderate, or high intensity. Time refers to the time of
day you exercise and how long each session lasts. Type
refers to what kind of exercise you are doing.

Discuss the different training principles to achieve or
maintain HRF of the learners.

Each student creates a workout plan that will be more
effective in reaching their fitness goals based on their
fitness levels.
