Grade 8 Science
CHAPTER 5: All about Earthquakes and Faults

September 6, 2018
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end this lesson, the students are expected to:
a. classify faults according to level of activity;
b. distinguish an active fault from inactive fault;
c. identify the existence of faults in the Philippines
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. TOPIC: Earthquakes and Faults
Subtopic: Active and Inactive Faults
B. REFERENCES:
 Science for the 21st Century learners
 Discover Science by Diwa
 Breaking Through Science by Baguio, Bonifacio, Manosa, and Santisteban
 Exploring life through Science by Pavico et al.
 Science Links Grade 8 by Madriaga, Valdoz, Aquino,and Castillo

C. INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:
 visual aids, laptop, powerpoint presentation.
D. KEY TERMS/KEY IDEAS:
 Fault: is a fracture or break in Earth’s crust where earthquakes are most likely
to occur repeatedly.
 Active fault: are known to have recently generated earthquakes within the last
10,000 years which may still continue to generate earthquakes.
 Inactive fault: do not show signs of having generated earthquakes within the
last 10,000 years, but may possibly still generate an earthquake in the future.
 Reactivated fault: are inactive faults that are forced into movement because
of other movements within the crust.

E. VALUING:

What are those faults located in the Philippines?

 F. TEACHING STRATEGIES:
 Cooperative learning, brainstorming, guided inquiry and inductive
approach.
G. SKILLS TO BE DEVELOPED:
 Comparing and contrasting, explaining, enumerating and identifying.
III. LESSON PROPER
A. ROUTINE
1. Customary Greetings
2. Sitting arrangement
3. Attendance checking
B. REVIEW/DRILL
Letting the students do the activity “Pass the ball” to check what they have
learned during their past lesson. In this activity, the teacher will pass a ball to a
person and that person has to say one concept he/she remember from the past
discussion. If that student can state a concept, he or she will pass the ball to
another student who has to now define the concept. Then that student passes it to
another student who gives a new concept, and so on.

C. MOTIVATION
The teacher will let the students complete the table below about what they already
know on Active fault and Inactive faults.
Students will have to write their own description of active fault and inactive fault.

Fault Description
Active fault
Inactive fault

D. LESSON DEVELOPMENT
Pre-Activity
1. The teacher shall group the students on their respective group. Before
presenting the short video on active and inactive fault, teacher will give the
guide questions to answer by each group on a given manila paper.

Describe what is active fault.

Describe what is inactive fault.
What are the different ways use by scientists to find out if a fault is active
or not?
2. Collecting of ideas or short discussion based on the student’s answers using
the above guide questions.
 E. GENERALIZATION (5 minute-Reporting)
This time, students will complete the given table for the second time.
Fault Description
Active fault are known to have recently
generated earthquakes
within the last 10,000 years
which may still continue to
generate earthquakes.

Inactive fault do not show signs of having

generated earthquakes
within the last 10,000 years,
but may possibly still
generate an earthquake in
the future.

F. APPLICATION/VALUING
What are the active faults found in the Philippines?
IV. EVALUATION (Venn diagram)

In 5 sentences, distinguish active fault from inactive fault? (5 points)

Enumerate what are the ways use by scientist to find out if a fault is active or not. (5
points)

V. ASSIGNMENT
 Enumerate those several earthquake-induced effect.
