ENGAGE(10mins.)
The class will be divided into 5 groups.
Activity: A fault-y set up
After performing the activity, the students will be able to:
1. Describe the appearance of a fault; and
2. Explain how a fault forms.
Materials:
Two sheets of cardboard fine sand
ruler newspaper or plastic sheet as wide as a newspaper page
Procedure:
1. Spread the newspaper on the table. Do the activity on the newspaper.

2. Arrange the two sheets of cardboard edge to edge.

3. Pour sand along the boundary of the two sheets.
4. With the ruler, flatten the top of the sand and make two parallel lines.
5. Now, move the sheets slowly sliding each other.
Questions: a. As you move the sheets, what is formed in the sand?
b. What happened to the lines?
The teacher will call one representative from each group to share the group’s answer to
the questions in the activity. After all the groups have shared their answer, the teacher
will do the processing of the activity.
D. Discussing new EXPLORE(10mins)

new skills #1 Activity: Stick “n” slip
Objectives
After performing the activity, the students should be able to:
1. Explain how faults generates earthquakes; and
2. Explain why not all movements along faults produce earthquakes.
Materials:
Two small boxes masking tape toy house
Rubber band paper clip
Procedures:
1. Attach the rubber band to the paper clip. Then attach the paper clip to one end
E. Discussing new of one box.
concepts and practicing 2. Place the boxes side by side. Put a toy house on the box with the rubber band.
new skills #2 Then paste lightly the two boxes together. Note: Do not stick the tape on the two
boxes too much. The tape is meant to come off.
3. With your left hand, hold the box without the rubber band in place. With your
other hand, slowly pull on the rubber band.
Questions:
a. What happened to the rubber band?
b. What happened to the “house”?
c. Keep on pulling on the rubber band. What happened to the box
attached to the rubber band?
d. Which is the “fault” in this set up?

activity.
Assessment 3)
After all groups presented their output, the teacher will give additional inputs to the class
for better understanding.

the lesson encourage students to be cautious in their respective locations.

EVALUATE (20mins.)
I. Evaluating learning Through role playing, show the precautionary measures when you are living in areas
near faults. The students will be given 5 minutes to prepare a 3-minute role play.
