Together with PNU, this Teaching Guide was studied and reviewed by education and pedagogy experts, and was enhanced with appropriate methodologios and stratogies. Furthermore, the Commission believes that teachers are the most important partners in attzning this geal.

About this Teaching Guide ‘The Philippines is frequently cited as among the top countries most at risk to disasters. While disasters can arise from man-made sources, the most inevitable ones come from natural phenomena. Even without scientific seruiny, every Filipino is familiar with the impacts of typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic srustions, and fies to everyiay fe anc to national evelopment. This makes learning about disaster Preparedness aligned with everyone's interests ‘This teaching guide for the Disaster Readinass and Risk Reduction RRR) subject of the Philippines K-12 Curriculum provides a lessar-by-lesson framework for educators to help learners attain te target compotancias and outcomes. The challenge with teaching a aubject Ike DRRRis is muli-dieciplinary ature, bringing together biological, geophysical, socio-cultural, political and economic factors, This in itselis an opportunity to make these various subject matters relevant to the lives of the people even if studying disasters loans toward the sciences. With the use of these teaching guides, the teacher willbe able to handle a diverse set of materals that will eich thei enisting knowledge on the naturel an Secial sciences. They wil slsa be able to engage learners ina number of hands-on activites that make se of mixed-media to maximize existing resaurees. And overall, lessons tackled in these guides encourage o two-way imeraction between the teachers and students that will uimately result to effective learning, Lessons of these teaching guides address the content standards identified by the Deparment of Education (DepEd). Some teaching guides may inelude multiple learning competencies 9s that may be more eficienty achieved when tackled together. This guide approaches learning about DRRR by fist Understanding the hazards that may then potentially lead to dleasters, ae a common confusion ares from distinguishing the concepts of "hazard and “disaster”. Each hazard type has ts own precautionary ‘measures and ideal responses to prevert disasters.

Plasmid insertion by Heat Shack Treatment. Heat Shock Treatment is @ process used to transfer plasmid DNA into bacteria, The target cells are pre-treated before the procedure to Increase the pote sizes of their plasma membranes. This pretreatment (usually with CaC'2)is said to make the cells “competent” for accepting the plasmid DNA. After the cells are made me competent, they are incubated with the desired plarmid at about 4°C for about 30min. The plasmids concentrate near the cells during this time. Afterwatds, a “Heat Shock” i done on the plasmic-cell solution by incubating it a 42°C for 1 minute then back to 4°C for 2 minutes. ‘The rapid ise and drop of temperature beleved to incrasse and decrease the pore sizes in the membrane.

The direct amplifcatien/eepying of a full gone is par of the process fer “cloning” that gene. 2. Cloning and Expression Some genes provide economically, andindustnally important products (eg. insulin-coding genes; genes forcollagen degradation), In some cases, scientists would want to put these genes into ‘organisms for the expression oftheir products, One example would be the insertion of an insulin coding gene from the human genome into bacteria, Ths slows the “transformed” bacteria to now produce human inculin as a product Cenain types of bacteria are capable of this process since they are able to take genes within their cell ‘membranes for eventual expression. The genes are normally inthe form of aml citcular DNA, structures called plasmic. “The genet found in the inserted plasmid DNA sequence will be expressed a8 proteins that provide specific taits to the waneformed bacteria. The basie components of an expression plasmid are listed in the following table.

For example, ifthe gene for Green Fluorescent Protein is placed within the expression plasmid, bacteria transformed with this plasmid will produco protein (GFP) that wil aliow tha bacterial colls/ colonies to gow green inthe dark Provides 2 way to screen a population of bacteria for those that took Lup the plasmid. For example, f an ampiciln resistance gene is encoded inthe plasmid, then only bacteria which took up the plasmid will be able to grow on mada with ampicilin, However, if the ampicillin resistance gene is eut and the gene i inserted here for cloning, then the cell will longer be resistant to ‘mpicilin, This isa way to select which among the colony of ells actually contain the inserted gene sequence.
