Regional Training of Teachers on the

Critical Content of Science Grade 8

DEMONSTRATION TEACHNG LESSON PLAN IN EARTH SCIENCE

The learners demonstrate understanding of the

A. CONTENT STANDARDS relationship between faults and earthquakes.

The learners shall be able to participate in decision

B. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS making on where to build structures based on knowledge
of the location of active faults in the community.

The learners should be able to use models or

C. LEARNING COMPETENCIES illustrations, explain how movements along faults
generate earthquake.

At the end of the session, the learners should be able to:

1. differentiate the three types of faults in terms of rock
I.OBJECTIVES movements;
2. illustrate the different types of faults; and
3. create awareness campaign on the different location
of fault
II. SUBJECT MATTER TYPES OF FAULTS

Science Concepts  A fault is a break in the Earth’s crust, and along the
break, significant movement has taken place
 Fault break, fracture, fissure or zone of weakness
where movement or displacement had occurred or
may occur again
 Fault surface or narrow zone along which one side
has moved relative to the other.

IV. PROCEDURES

ELICIT Let the learners recall their past lesson by looking for the
words in the puzzle that may be related to the topic.
A. a. Reviewing previous lessons or
Then let them write the words in the metacards. (The
presenting new lessons
 learners will be divided into six groups each group will be
given handouts that contains the crossword puzzle. They
will write the words in the meta-cards then post it in the
Manila Paper).
b. Introducing the lesson Let the learners read the objectives of the lesson.
ENGAGE Let learners watch a video clip from PHIVOLCS that
depicts the damage done by an earthquake in Bohol and
B. c. Establishing a purpose for the
Surigao del Sur then ask:
lesson
1. What do you observe in the video?
2. What might be the cause of that destruction?
3. How did that happening affect people lives?
4. Do you have any idea of our new lesson today?
EXPLORE Group the learners into 6. Differentiated instruction will
be used in performing the activity. Each group will be
C. d. Presenting examples/ instances of instructed to read and analyze the instructions given on
the new lesson the activity sheets. After 15mins. Each group will select a
representative to present their output.
-Group 1 and 2 will perform Activity 1
Faulty Set –up, Where does the earthquake start?
-Group 3 and 4 will perform Activity 2
Complete the table
-Group 5 and 6 will perform activity 3
Picture Analysis
Rubrics for Presentation

Teachers should give emphasis on the following:

 Fault is a break in the
Earth’s crust and
along the break,
significant movement
has taken place.
 Parts of Faults
EXPLEXPLAIN  Foot wall
Discussing new concepts and  Fault Plane
practicing skills #1  Hanging Wall
 Three Types of Faults:

Fa
 Discussing new concepts and Ask:
practicing skills #2
 Let the learners login to kahoot.com for this this
activity. Each group will identify the following pictures
as normal, reverse or strike-slip fault.
ELABORATE  Based on the activity how did you identify the
different types of fault?
D. Developing mastery (Leads to
formative assessment)  What are the possible geological features that may
form when fault causes movement on the rocks?
 In result, when fault started to moved that motion is
called?
Ask:
E. Finding practical applications of
 Why it is a need to discuss the different types of
concepts and skills in daily living
fault?
F. Making generalizations about the Ask:
lesson  What triggers the movement of the earth?
V. EVALUATE I. Identify the type of faults as normal, reverse or strike-
slip fault and determine the direction of the land form
using.

found each type of fault and write in ¼ sheet of paper.
