1.Engage:
Learners’ interest and attention to the
topic is stimulated. They form an
emotional connection with the topic.
1.Engage:
Students are engaged with a challenging
situation, prior knowledge is activated,
questions are provoked.
1. Explore:
Learners’ interest in topic is stimulated
with an Essential Question that
challenges their prior knowledge and
leads them to find the answer.
2. Explore:
Learners independently discover
concepts and ideas in various activities
that include experimentation,
problem-solving and active learning.
2. Explore:
Students investigate a phenomenon, prior
knowledge is challenged, ideas are
created.
2. Firm Up:
Learners answer the question by first
actively looking at various sources and
acquiring knowledge and facts related to
the question’s topic and concepts.
3. Experience:
Learners apply acquired knowledge and
skills and transfer their learning to real
life situations.
3. Explain:
Students explain new phenomenon, new
knowledge is gained and applied.
3. Deepen:

A QUESTION IS ESSENTIAL?
1.Is open-ended; that is, it typically will not
have a single, final, and correct answer.
2.Is thought-provoking and intellectually
engaging, often sparking discussion and

3.Calls for higher-order thinking, such as
analysis, inference, evaluation, prediction.
It cannot be effectively answered by recall
alone.
4.Points toward important, transferable
ideas within (and sometimes across)

5.Raises additional questions and sparks
further inquiry.
6.Requires support and justification, not just
an answer.
7.Recurs over time; that is, the question can

FOR Q1 UNIT TOPIC
A (CONVERGENT)
According to the article, what
are the possible risks brought
by industrial chemicals?
B (DIVERGENT)
How can the risks of chemical
contamination be detected and
handled?
COMPETENCY: Generalize that
community-based problems
related to solution concentrations
are effectively addressed through
scientific investigation.
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.
