MELCs DEFINITIVE BUDGET OF WORK (DBOW) IN SCIENCE

This Definitive Budget of Work in Science 3 to 10 is centered on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) which are mapped
based on what every Science learner must exhibit at the end of each quarter per grade level. This mapping of MELCs will be taught in
flexible time to ensure full coverage, with the enabling learning objectives arranged in a manner that keeps track of learner s’ progress
towards the attainment of each MELC.

Why is there a need to unpack the MELCs in Science?

To understand why there is a need to unpack the MELC for the period it must be taught, we need to recognize that each MELC consists
of a set of learning experiences that a learner must have, spread out in a period optimized according to his or her developmental needs
and readiness. For example, in the First Quarter of Grade 3, there are only two MELCS to be taught. Hence, unpacking, or sub-tasking,
is needed to give the science teachers directions in planning their lessons and creating activities for their learners about the given
MELCs especially that learning takes place remotely nowadays. The MELCs were unpacked based on the duration of a particular
competency where the spiral progression of the curriculum was considered, and the mastery of skills will be unfolded since an ample
amount of time is emphasized. In breaking down each MELC in its respective learning experiences (or daily lesson objectives), the
learners will achieve a level of mastery in pre-requisite knowledge and skills before moving forward to subsequent and enhancement
skills.

It is also noteworthy to consider here that this Definitive Budget of Work takes into account the results of the MELCs Audit Survey
obtained the previous year. The MELCs Audit results provided relevant information on the MELCs which were reportedly not taught due
to various reasons. This MELCs DBOW is an intervention that addresses this gap in the implementation of the Science curriculum in that
it provides a well-defined guide for teachers on the prerequisite MELCs that were not taught in the previous year. Thus, this MELCs
DBOW assists the teachers in helping them adapt to the new normal of learning delivery.

Features/Elements

The MELCs Definitive Budget of Work (DBOW) in science is a resource material in teaching Science that contains learning competencies
in a sequence of domain/strands per quarter as follows:
Quarte G3 G4 G5 G6 G7 G8 G9 G10
r
I Force, Living Things Earth and
Matter Matter Matter Matter Matter Motion, and and Space

IV Earth and Earth and Earth and Earth and Earth and Living Things Force,

Environment Energy

Each domain is composed of strands taught every quarter in spiral progression from Grades 3 to Grade 10, given as follows:

● Matter (MT) - Changes that Matter Undergo, Properties and Structure of Matter
● Living Things and Their Environment (LT) - Parts and Functions of Animals and Plants, Heredity: Inheritance and
Variation, Biodiversity and Evolution, Ecosystem
● Force, Motion and Energy (FE) - Force and Motion, Energy
● Earth and Space (ES) - Geology, Meteorology, Astronomy

How to Use this DBOW

There are 187 MELCs for science across grade levels. The table below summarizes the number of MELCs in Science per Quarter
per Grade level.

In using the DBOW in Science, it is important to understand the figure below marked by the following specifications:

The MELCs DBOW in Science shows the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) that every learner is expected to achieve at the
end of each quarter by grade level. The letter A represents the quarter in the grade level of science domain/strand with the
intended MELC. The letter B shows the Content Standard and letter C shows the Performance Standard. Letter D shows the continuous
numbering of MELC per grade level/quarter. Letter E represents the given MELCs, while letter F is the Unpacked /Sub-tasked
Competencies based on the given MELCs and the days of the unpacked competencies are based on the time allotment or duration given
in the MELCs. Letter G represents the number of days the said MELCs should be taught. For elementary, Science is taught for 50
minutes for five days while in JHS, Science is taught for 60 minutes, 4 days a week. Letter H is the remarks where the needed
prerequisite skills/concepts can be found prior to the discussion of the MELCs. These are the competencies that were not taught in the
previous grade level based on the MELCs audit.

Science teachers should:

● look for the grade level they are handling and the existing quarter at the time of teaching-learning delivery;
● check the MELC to be taught in a particular quarter and the corresponding unpacked competencies based on the time
allotment given;
● consider the remarks column for the prerequisite skills/ topics needed prior to the teaching of the said MELCs which were
not taught in the previous grade levels based on the MELCs Audit result.
● If there are untaught competencies stated in the remarks column, kindly consider the suggestions given for the attainment of
such competencies before the discussion of the MELCs for the current grade level and quarter
● take note that the first LC or set of LCs in the DBOW becomes the first lesson to be taught in a quarter;
● design lessons using the DBOW considering the number of days the LCs must be taught; and
● deliver the LCs as specified in the DBOW/quarter using varied platforms of teaching and learning modalities /Blended Learning.

This DBOW is flexible. Once you are done with the MELCs for a particular quarter and you are sure that your learners have learned
and have mastered the MELCs already, you may proceed to the next MELCs.
