Earth and Space
Discipline/Component
At the end of Grade 6, learners recognize that when mixed together, materials may not
form new ones thus these materials may be recovered using different separation
techniques. They can prepare useful mixtures such as food, drinks and herbal medicines.
Learners understand how the different organ systems of the human body work together.
They can classify plants based on reproductive structures, and animals based on the
presence or lack of backbone. They can design and conduct an investigation on plant
propagation. They can describe larger ecosystems such as rainforests, coral reefs, and
mangrove swamps.
Grade Level Standard Learners can infer that friction and gravity affect how people and objects move. They have
found out that heat, light, sound, electricity, and motion studied earlier are forms of energy
and these undergo transformation.
Learners can describe what happens during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
and demonstrate what to do when they occur. They can infer that the weather
follows a pattern in the course of a year. They have learned about the solar system,
with emphasis on the motions of the Earth as prerequisite to the study of seasons
in another grade level.
Geology - Learners will learn that aside from weathering and erosion, there are other
processes that may alter the surface of the Earth: earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Only the effects of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are taken up in this grade level,
not their causes (which will be tackled in Grades 8 and 9). Learners will also gather and
Domain report data on earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in their community or region.
Meteorology - After learning how to measure the different components of weather in
Grades 4 and 5, learners will now collect weather data within the span of the school year.
Learners will interpret the data and identify the weather patterns in their community.

Astronomy - In Grade 6, learners will turn their attention to Earth as another natural
object in space (in addition to the Sun, Moon, and stars). Learners will learn about the
motions of the Earth: rotation and revolution. Learners will also compare the different
members that make up the Solar System and construct models to help them visualize their
relative sizes and distances.

Performance Standard The learners should design an emergency and preparedness plan and kit

The learners demonstrate understanding of the effects of earthquakes and volcanic

Content Standard eruptions; weather patterns and seasons in the Philippines; Earth's rotation and
revolution; and characteristics of planets in the solar system.
