 Make an emergency plan and prepare an emergency kit for use at home and in
school.

The learners should be able to explain how movements along faults generate earthquakes
using models or illustrations

A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting the
new lesson(ELICIT)
Objectives:
The Grade 8 learners should be able to:

Ask students’ experiences on earthquake. Present a video clip showing a real scenario of
earthquake.
https://youtu.be/xp9THjlw7sg

Ask students with the following questions about the video:

B. Establishing a purpose 1. Describe what happened in the video.
for the lesson 2. How do earthquakes happen?
(ENGAGE)

Present a picture showing a discontinuous road. Let the students spot and describe fault.

C. Presenting
examples/instances of
the new
lesson(ENGAGE)

D. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills
#1(EXPLORE)
Perform the activity entitled “Stick ‘n’ slip (Task card will be given to students with
illustrations of set up)
Objectives: Explain how faults generate earthquakes;
Explain why not all movement along faults produces earthquakes.

Materials Needed:
two small boxes (fruit juice boxes are ideal)
masking tape

rubber band
paper clip

Procedure:
1. Attach the rubber band to the paper clip. Then attach the paper clip to one end of one box.
(See Figure 5. The ruler is included for scale.)
2. Place the boxes side by side. Put a toy house on the box with the rubber band. Then tape
(lightly) the two boxes together as shown in Figure 6. Important: Do not stick the tape on the
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 in the direction shown in Figure 7.
Perform the activity entitled “Stick ‘n’ shake (Task card will be given to students with
illustrations of set up)

E. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills
#2(EXPLORE)
Objectives:
After performing this activity, you should be able to:
1. explain the effect of bending of rocks along faults, and
2. relate faults movement and earthquakes
Materials Needed:
two plastic rulers
a bit of clay

F. Developing mastery
(leads to Formative
Assessment 3)
(EXPLAIN)
G. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living
(ELABORATE)
H. Making generalizations
and abstractions about
the lesson(ELABORATE)
Procedure:
1. Using the clay, attach the rulers’ ends together (how long is the overlap between rulers?)
(Figure 8 shows closeup photos of side and top views of the setup.)
2. Hold the rulers as shown in the picture below. Then slowly move your hands in the
direction of the arrows.
Each group will take turn in presenting their observations and answers to the questions from
the activities performed.
Teacher will further discuss on how faults produce earthquakes through a powerpoint
presentation.
Have the students describe a fault and explain how it generates quakes.
Matching Type:

Direction: Match the words in Column B with its description in Column A.

A B
1. It is a break in the Earth’s crust. A. earthquake
2. It is released from inside the Earth B. energy
That makes the ground move. C. fault
3. Once it overcome, the ground D. fault line
suddenly moves and an earthquake E. friction
occurs.
4. It keeps the rocks along the fault

in place.
5. It is the vibration of the Earth
due to the rapid release of energy.
