(MOTIVATION)
1. Based on the video clip, give the ten deadliest natural
disasters in the Philippines.

C. Presenting SLIDE A SLIDE B

examples/instances
of the new lesson Ask the following Guide Questions to the students:
(PRE-ACTIVITY)
1. Identify the geologic process/es being shown in the slides?
2. Compare the two slides based on the effect of identified
geologic hazard/s to the environment.
3. Can you now state the difference between hazard and
disaster based on the comparison you made from the slides?

D. Discussing new
concepts and Present the subject on Natural Geological Processes and Hazards
practicing new skills based on the following categories:
1 1. Fault-related or Seismic
(ACTIVITY PROPER) 2. Mass movement/Mass Wasting
3. Volcanism

Divide the class into three (3) groups. Students will complete the
concept map on the Geological Processes and Hazards in the
Philippine setting using metacards supplied by the instructor.

4. How do you get information about geologic hazards?
5. State the relationship between hazards and humans.

Group Activity: The Most Popular Natural Geological Events

on Earth

Divide the class into three (3) groups. Cite at least five most
popular events/phenomena in various places on Earth that are
categorically considered as natural geologic hazards. Devise a
table to illustrate the characteristics and mechanisms of selected
natural hazards.

I. Evaluating learning
(ASSESSMENT) Essay Question:

Choose one question and answer briefly.

1. Differentiate between hazard and disaster.

2. Describe the three common types of geologic hazards and

3
 give at least three examples for each type of hazard.
3. Is your home or school prone to geologic hazards? If your
answer is yes, justify your answer.

Rubrics:

(5 points) Exceptional – student responses far exceed what is

expected
(4 points) Excellent – information is factually accurate and offers
extra supporting facts.
(3 points) Good – The student somewhat responds beyond the
basic level of the question to provide supporting details and or
interpretation.
(2 points) Fair – student responses, although somewhat correct,
are lacking in relevant details and supporting examples and or
interpretation.
(1 point) Not Mastered - student responses are largely incorrect.

J. Additional activities Make a report or compilation of various recorded geologic

for application or hazards and disasters in the Philippines ten years ago.
