By their nature, the manufacture, storage, and transport of chemicals are accidents waiting to
happen. Chemicals can be corrosive, toxic, and they may react, often explosively. The impacts of
chemical accidents can be deadly, for both human beings and the environment.
Many if not most products we use in everyday life are made from chemicals and thousands of
chemicals are used by manufacturing industries to make these products. The source of many of
these chemicals is petroleum, which is refined into two main fractions: fuels and the chemical
feedstocks that are the building blocks of plastics, paints, dyes, inks, polyester, and many of the
products we buy and use every day. Fuels and chemical feedstocks made from petroleum are
called organic chemicals. The other important class of chemicals is inorganics, which include acids,
caustics, cyanide, computer circuit boards.
Of the more than forty thousand chemicals in commercial use, most are subject to accidental spills
or releases. Chemical spills and accidents range from small to large and can occur anywhere
chemicals are found, from oil drilling rigs to factories, tanker trucks to fifty-five-gallon drums and all
the way to the local dry cleaner or your garden tool shed.

QUESTION:
How can the
impact of
changing
ocean
salinity on
marine
ecosystem
be
determined?
My claim or answer to the question is that Scientific Investigation
helps determine the impact of ocean salinity to marine life.
The evidences from the research I can cite in line with the definition
of the question’s key terms are the following:
-Citation of the researcher’s findings of salinity’s impact to marine
ecosystem brought forth by human related activities
-Provision of data indicating the effect of salt content to marine
ecosystem
-Conclusion that human-induced activities that increase ocean’s
salinity posed damage to marine and coastal environment
The question asks about the process by which the impact of changing
ocean salinity is determined.
This means that a scientific investigation(SI) can be carried out to
determine the impact of ocean salinity to marine ecosystem. SI is a
process of looking for answers to problems and involves gathering, testing
and analyzing data, to eventually lead to a conclusion.
In line with this, my evidences show that a scientific investigation was
done to look at the effect of human-induced ocean salinity to marine life.
Therefore, my claim is that Conduct of scientific investigation can assess
the possible impact of concentration of salts in the marine environment.
My claim or answer to the question is that Scientific
Investigation helps determine the impact of ocean salinity to to marine

Divergent Thinking techniques in their corresponding activities.
How are Making
meaning competencies
taught?
How then do we
develop divergent
thinking among
students?
Teachers can develop students’ divergent thinking in
Making Meaning learning competencies by proper
phrasing of questions and grouping students to do
collaborative discussions with the help of an organizer
that records the ideas of different group members.
Teachers can use organizers like Four Corners or Compass
Point.
Teaching Making Meaning learning competencies
involves developing students’ divergent thinking. Since
these competencies often regarded as Higher Order
Thinking competencies or HOTS go beyond mere recall of
information, these competencies lead students to
examine different views, solutions, and perspectives. In
the process, students deepen their learning and become
more analytical.
Can a combination of
divergent – convergent
thinking develop
analytical learning?
How?
In other organizers like Stick-It-Together and Placemat
Organizer, students share their individual views but arrive
at a consensus on the best answer or solution. Through
these organizers, students experience both Divergent and
Convergent thinking where they explore varied ideas and
come to an agreement.
Agreements on what is the best answer or solution
depend on the evidences that students are able to
gather. Hence, students, while engaged in divergent
thinking when examining varied evidences, research or
ideas, need to utilize these evidences as the basis for a
specific claim or group’s consensus.
What activity teaches
students to be
evidence-based in
making a claim?
Students learn to be evidence-based in their claims
and reasons through an activity called
Claim-Evidence-Reasoning. In this activity, students
are given an open-ended problem or essential
question, define the key terms in the question, look
for evidences in line with the defined terms, make
claims and provide reasons for their claim.
In which part of the
Learning Plan are these
Make meaning
activities done?
The design and implementation of these Making
Meaning activities are usually done for the Deepen
