III. Learning Procedure:
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Engage
“Good morning, everyone!” “Good morning, Sir”

“Before we Start our lesson, but

before that I would like to ask how
are you today”

“We have an emotional checker

here and can you tell me what are
you feeling today”

“Okay, now.
Who among of you here have
(Students answered one after another)
experienced an earthquake?
Me Teacher! (Almost of the students)
“How does it feel?” It’s very terrifying teacher I can feel
that the world is shaking
“What did you do?”
“Teacher! I did the duck, cover and
“Okay! Since you have already hold because it is what I have learned
experienced it. from the drills every year done by the
school”

Do you totally know about “No teacher”

earthquakes and why it happens?

B. Explore
“Okay! Since you still do not know
some about earthquakes. “Yes! Yes! Teacher”
I will show you a video that can help
understand what is really an
earthquake.”

“Do you like that?” “Yes Teacher”

“Okay Very Good.”

“Did everyone enjoy the video” “Students: Yes Teacher”

“Now, Let’s Start our lesson”

C. Explain
“Today we will learn about
Earthquakes”
“(Students Listening Attentively)”
“Earthquakes, are the sudden shaking
of the ground caused by the sudden
release of energy”

“An earthquake is caused by the

movement of parts of the Earth’s
crust, its outermost layer. They happen
millions of times a year, but most are
so small people don’t even feel them.
But powerful earthquakes can cause
landslides, tsunamis, flooding, and
other dangerous events.
Student 1: Because a volcano will
“Did Anyone have an idea why erupt
earthquakes occur?
Student 2: Because the ground is
moving
“Give them A Clap”
(Applause)
Most earthquakes occur due to the
movement of tectonic plates, which
are large pieces of the Earth's crust (Listening Attentively)
that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

“There we’re government agency

that are monitoring the Earthquake
and Volcanic activities that are
happening in the Philippines they are
called,

“Phivolcs or Philippine Institute of

Volcanology and Seismology”

(Listening Attentively)
An earthquake is a weak to violent
shaking of the ground produced by
the sudden movement of rock
materials below the earth's surface

There are parts of an earthquake

Faults
A fracture in the rocks that make up
the Earth’s crust
“What is a fault?”
Fault is a break in the earth’s crust and
along the break,” significant
movement” has taken place. Student 1: I think the land is going
downward or slipping downward.
There are 3 types of faults.

1. Normal Fault

(Listening Attentively)

“Can anyone describe what you see

on the picture?

‘Very good! Yes, the land is going

downwards and this is what we call a
“normal fault”’

A normal fault is a geological fault

where the hanging wall has moved
downward relative to the footwall due
to extensional forces, typically
associated with divergent plate
boundaries. (Listening Attentively)
Normal faults can be observed in
various geological settings, such as rift
zones and areas undergoing tectonic
stretching.
2. Reverse/thrust Fault
Student: The land is going upwards to
the other

On the second picture can anyone

describe?

Very good, this fault is what we call

reverse/thrust fault

A reverse/thrust fault is a geological

fault where the hanging wall has
moved upward relative to the footwall
due to compressional forces, often
associated with convergent plate
boundaries.

This type of fault can result in

significant geological features and
can also generate powerful seismic
events.

Student 1: The land Were slipping in

3. Strike-slip fault opposite direction
Lastly, can you describe what is
shown?

Very Good, this fault is what we call a

Strike slip Fault Student 1: Normal Fault

A strike-slip fault is a geological fault Student 2: Reverse Fault

where the movement of tectonic
plates occurs predominantly Student 3: Strike-Slip Fault
horizontally, parallel to the fault plane,
in opposite directions, typically due to
horizontal shearing forces.

These faults are commonly found

along transform plate boundaries,
such as the San Andreas Fault in (Listening Attentively)
California.

“Again, what are the 3 types of faults?

“Student 1: Epicenter”

Good Job! Now let’s talk about the

Epicenter
The point at the surface of the Earth
above the focus

“Okay class, what do we call the point

at the surface of the earth above the
focus, what do call it?” (Listening Attentively)
Focus

The point within the Earth where an

earthquake rupture starts

Plates

Massive rocks that make up the outer

layer of the Earth’s surface and whose
movement along faults triggers
earthquakes

Now, how do earthquakes develop?

Tectonic plates aren't connected but

are close together. Where they meet
along their edges is called a fault.
When heat from the Earth’s core
creates currents in the crust, the
tectonic plates can scrape, bump, or
drag along each other. This is what
causes an earthquake and why the
surface sometimes cracks like an
eggshell.

Where earthquakes happen

Earthquakes occur along faults, the
areas where tectonic plates meet.
About 80 percent of earthquakes
occur along the rim of the Pacific
Ocean. Called the Ring of Fire
because of the large number of
volcanoes there, the area is a
meeting point for many tectonic
plates. (Listening Attentively)

(Listening Attentively)
Student 1: Tsunami

Student 2: Destruction of Houses

Student 3: Landslide
Earthquakes can happen anytime or
anywhere even if you don’t live near (Applause)
a fault. So, it’s a good idea to
prepare.

“Now Let’s Talk about How we can

survive when an earthquake occurs”

DURING AN EARTHQUAKE: Most

earthquakes last only 10 to 30
seconds, so it’s important to get to a
safe place fast. Remember three
things during an earthquake: drop,
cover, and hold on.

Did anyone know the things we need

to do if an earthquake has occurred?

Great Job, that’s right we need to do

the duck, Cover and hold

DUCK: Get down on your hands and

knees and crawl to your shelter.
Student 1: Yes Teacher, we need to do
Cover: Underneath a sturdy table, the duck cover and hold
desk, or bed, cover your head and
neck with your arms. If furniture isn’t
nearby, crouch down on your knees
with your arms over your head and
neck next to an interior wall. (Don’t Student 2: We need to find an open
stand under a doorway they can area with no possible falling structures
easily collapse.) to evacuate

Hold on: If you’re under a piece of

furniture, hold on with one hand and
move with the furniture if it starts
sliding. Stay where you are until the
shaking stops.

AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE: Once the

earthquake ends, check for injuries.
Also reunite with your family Listen to a
radio for any warnings and instructions
from official organizations like the
United States Geological Survey. Be
prepared for any aftershocks.

• Talk with your family about the safest

places in your home in case an
earthquake hit. This could be under a
sturdy table or next to an interior wall
(one that is not connected to the
outside).

• Look for heavy items that could fall

or break during a quake, and move
them to safer spots.

• Ask your parents to make sure you

have an emergency kit containing
things like first-aid supplies, a flashlight,
a cell phone charger, and a battery-
operated radio. Your family should
also have enough food and water for
at least 72 hours
