Module 1, Lesson 2: Definition of Environment
According to Boring (1947), the environment is defined as A persons
environment consists of the sum, a total of the stimulation which he
receives from his conception until his death.
Douglas and Holland (1947) state, ' The term environment is used to
describe, in aggregate, all the external forces, influences, and conditions,
which affect the life, nature, behavior and the growth, development, and
maturity of living organisms.
Scope of The Environment

Module 3, Lesson 1: The Water Cycle
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water
Water goes into the atmosphere in two ways:
Transpiration
Water goes through pores in leaves called stomata
Evaporation
Water evaporatesfrom bodies of water
Next, it undergoes a process called:
Condensation
Water condensesin the atmosphere and forms clouds
Then, water comes back to the ground through:
Precipitation
Water collects into clouds and pours to the ground
Examples of precipitation would be rain, snow, hail, and sleet
Surface Runoff
This occurs when some of the water from precipitation flows back into
bodies of water
Percolation
Water gets absorbed into the soil
Module 3, Lesson 2: Nitrogen Cycle
The nitrogen cycle describes the continuous movementof nitrogen
Nitrogen also makes up 78% of the air we breathe in

bacteria
It is done in plants
Nitrogen Assimilation
Process of absorbingammonia and nitrates into organic nitrogen
Organic nitrogen enters an animals body when they eat plants
Ammonification
Converts organic nitrogen into ammonia when animals die
Also known as mineralization
Nitrification
The ammonia is converted into nitrites
Denitrification
Ammonia gets converted into nitrogen
Module 3, Lesson 3: Carbon Cycle
Is the process wherein carbon is exchanged in the atmosphere,
hydrosphere, and biosphere
Carbon in the Atmosphere
Can occur through fossil fuels or volcanic eruptions
Enters the atmosphere when organisms decompose
Living organisms emit carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular
respiration
Carbon in the Hydrosphere
Carbonic acid forms when carbon dissolves in water
Carbon in the Biosphere
Photosynthetic algae and bacteria that live near the surface of the ocean
take up bicarbonate ions to synthesize organic compounds in a process
called chemosynthesis.
Terrestrial plants utilize carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the
process of photosynthesis in order to produce glucose
Module 4, Lesson 1: Ecological Niche

Trophic Levels in an Energy Pyramid
The first-trophic level shows the producer
The second-trophic level shows the primary consumer
The third-trophic level shows the secondary consumer
The fourth-trophic level shows the tertiary consumer
Journalism
Module 1, Lesson 1: Fundamentals of Journalism
Definition of Journalism
Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and
presenting news and information. It is also the product of these
activities (American Press Institute)
Purpose of Journalism
In their book, The Elements of Journalism, Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel
write that it is not defined by technology, nor by journalists or the
techniques they employ.Rather, the principles and purpose of journalism
are defined by something more basic: the function news plays in the lives
of people
The purpose of journalism is thus to provide citizens with the information
they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their
communities, their societies, and their governments
Module 1, Lesson 2: The Elements of Journalism
The ten elements of journalism, as drawn from the book The Elements of
Journalism:
Journalisms first obligation is to the truth
The first element is to always tell the truth
Its first loyalty is to citizens
The second element is for the citizen who reads the story that the
journalist writes
Its essence is a discipline of verification
The third element deals with the discipline that the journalist should
follow.
Its practitioners must maintain independence from those they
cover
The fourth element deals with staying neutral or independent from the
story
It must serve as an independent monitor of power
The fifth element is to serve as an independent monitor of power
It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise
The sixth element is for supplying a forum for public criticism and
compromise
It must strive to keep the significant interesting and relevant
The seventh element is to make sure to combine what is significant and
what is relevant
It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional
The eighth element deals with the comprehensive and proportional part of
the news story
Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience
The ninth element allows for the exercise of the journalists personal
conscience
Citizens, too, have rights and responsibilities when it comes to the
news
The final element deals with citizen responsibilities when it comes to news
Module 1, Lesson 3: Bias and Objectivity
Definition of Bias
Bias is a concentration or interest in one particular area or subject. When
we say that there is bias in journalism, we mean that the author is one-
sided and he or she editorializes when writing.(American Press Institute)
Definition of Objectivity
According to Tony Rogers of thoughtco.com, objectivity means that when
covering hard news, reporters dont convey their own feelings, biases, or
prejudices in their stories.
Types of Bias
Bias by Commission
Passing along errors or assumptions in order to support or refute a point
of view
Bias by Omission
Ignoring facts or statistics to support or disprove a point of view
Bias by Selection
Selecting only evidence that supports or disproves a point of view
Bias by Placement
Emphasizing only that which supports or disproves a point of view
Bias by Interpretation
Using only one perspective when relaying information
Bias by Policy or Condemnation
Suggesting or condemning a policy or a course of action
Bias by Labeling
Categorizing sources with labels that elicit certain reactions such as
calling a news source expertor extremist
Module 2, Lesson 1: Journalism as a Discipline of Verification
Transparency
Show your work so readers can decide for themselves why they should
believe it
Transparency signals the journalists respect for the audience
Humility
Keep an open mind
Journalists need to keep an open mind – not only about what they hear
but also about their won ability to understand what it means
Exercise humility. Dont assume. Avoid arrogance about
your knowledge
Originality
Do your own work
Information can be viewed as a hierarchy. At the top is the work you have
done for yourself, reporting you can directly vouch for.
Module 2, Lesson 2: How To Organize a Story
There are four questions to ask when organizing a story:
What is the central point?
What is the central evidence?
Where is the central place?
Who are the central characters?
Module 2, Lesson 3: Journalism Ethics and Principles
Four ethical standards of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ):
Seek truth and report it
Minimize harm
Act independently
Be accountable and transparent
The Philippine Journalists Code of Ethics
I shall scrupulously report and interpret the news, taking care not to
suppress essential facts nor to distort the truth by omission or improper
emphasis. I recognize the duty to air the other side and the duty to correct
substantive errors promptly.
I shall not violate confidential information on material given me in the
exercise of my calling.
I shall resort only to fair and honest methods in my effort to obtain news,
photographs and/or documents, and shall properly identify myself as a
representative of the press when obtaining any personal interview
intended for publication.
I shall refrain from writing reports which will adversely affect a private
reputation unless the public interests justifies it. At the same time, I shall
write vigorously for public access to information, as provided for in the
constitution.
I shall not let personal motives or interests influence me in the
performance of my duties; nor shall I accept or offer any present, gift or
other consideration of a nature which may cast doubt on my professional
integrity.
I shall not commit any act of plagiarism.
I shall not in any manner ridicule, cast aspersions on or degrade any
person by reason of sex, creed, religious belief, political conviction,
cultural and ethnic origin.
I shall presume persons accused of crime of being innocent until proven
otherwise.
I shall exercise caution in publishing names of minors, and women
involved in criminal cases so that they may not unjustly lose their standing
in society.
I shall not take unfair advantage of a fellow journalist.
I shall accept only such tasks as are compatible with the integrity and
dignity of my profession, invoking the "conscience clause"when duties
imposed on me conflict with the voice of my conscience.
I shall comport myself in public or while performing my duties as a
journalist in such manner as to maintain the dignity of my profession.
When in doubt, decency should be my watchword.

Mathematics
Module 1, Lesson 1: Basic Concepts of Sets
What is a set?
A set is a collectionof well-defined objects
Language of Sets
Each object in a set is called an elementor a member
The use of bracessymbolizes the groupings of a set
Names of sets are usually denoted using uppercase letters
Examples
A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Ways to Describe Sets
There are two ways to describe sets
Roster Method
The roster method is used to listelements of a set
Example: A = {Strawberry, Apple, Watermelon}
Descriptive Method
The descriptive method is used to describeelements of a set
Example: A = {𝑋 is a red fruit}
The Elements of a Set
The symbol ∈ is used to show that 𝑋 is an elementof a set
The symbol ∉ is used to show that 𝑋 is not an elementof a set
Null or Empty Sets
A set with no elementsis called a null/empty set
We use { } and ∅ to represent a null set
Well-defined and Not Well-defined Sets
{Grade 7 teachers in MariSci} is a well-defined set as we can easily identify
the Grade 7 teachers in MariSci.
{Handsome boys in Marisci} is not a well-defined set as the word
handsome is subjective to each person
The Cardinality of a Set
The cardinality of a set is a measureof the elements in a set
For example, if Set X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} has 5 elements, we can say that its
cardinality is 5.
Finite and Infinite Sets
If a set has a definite number of elements,we can consider it a finite set.
If a set does not have a definite number of elements,we consider it an
infinite set.
Universal Sets
A universal setis a set with all objects under consideration. It is denoted by
the letter U
Example: U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
Subsets
A subset is a set that has the same elementsas the universal set
Example: A = {2, 3, 4} is a subset of Set U because its elements are also in
set U
We can say that A ⊆ U. The symbol ⊆ means 𝑋 is a subset of 𝑋
If a subset is not a subset of a set, then we can use ⊈ to say that 𝑋 is not a
subset of 𝑋
Module 1, Lesson 2: The Union, Intersection, and Difference of Sets
The Intersection of Sets
Lets use the given Venn diagram as an example
The intersection of a set is the common element/sbetween two sets
We can denote this using the symbol ∩.
Because reading and cooking are similar elements of the sets, we can say
that X ∩ Y = {Reading, cooking}
The Union of Sets
The union of a set is all the elements of both sets
We can use the symbol U to symbolize that
When listing down the union of a set, elements are not repeated
Using the previous Venn diagram, we can say that X U Y = {Singing,
Reading, Drawing, Cooking, Dancing, Playing}
The Difference of Sets
Finding the difference of a set is quite different from finding the
intersection and union of a set
Example Problem
Find the following: A - B and B - A
A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}
A-B=?
Remove the elements in A that are found in B
= {3, 5, 7, 9}
B-A=?
Remove the elements in B that are found in A
= {10, 12, 14, 16}
Module 2, Lesson 1: Set Operations Using a Venn Diagram
B is a subset of A (B ⊆ A)
Union of Two Sets
(A U B)
Intersection of Two Sets
(A ∩ B)

Worded Problem
In a group of 30 people, 23 liked dogs, 15 liked cats, and 10 liked cats and
dogs
Questions
How many people liked both cats and dogs?
10 people liked both cats and dogs
Explanation: As stated in the worded problem, 10 people liked both cats
and dogs
How many onlyliked dogs?
13 people only liked dogs
Explanation: When you subtract the given (23) from the number of people
who like both cats and dogs (10), you get 13
How many people liked cats or dogs?
28 people liked cats or dogs
Explanation: When you add the total values, you would get 13 (people who
liked dogs), 5 (people who liked cats), and 10 (people who liked both cats
and dogs). Adding those values up, you get a sum of 28
How many people didnt like cats or dogs?
2 people didnt like cats or dogs
Explanation: When you subtract 28 (the people that like cats or dogs) from
30 (the total number of people in a group), you get 2
Module 3, Lesson 1: The Absolute Value of a Number
The absolute value of a number is how many spaces a number is from
zero on the number line
Two vertical bars or two straight lines are used to represent the absolute
value of a number
Example: Find the absolute value of -4
The number -4 is four spaces away from zero, so we can say that its
absolute value is also 4. This would also be the same if it were a positive
integer
|-4| = 4

Math Antics - Integer Multiplication &Division
Module 4, Lesson 1: Properties of Operations on the Set of Integers
The Closure Property
Integers are closed to addition, subtraction, and multiplication
The Commutative Property
Commutative property states that the order of the addends or factors
does not affect the result
The Associative Property
Associative property states that the grouping of the addends or
factors does not affect the result
The Distributive Property
Distributive property states that if a, b and c represent integers, then
a (b + c) = a(b) + a(c) and a(b − c) = a(b) − a(c)
The Identity Property
The sum of any number and 0 is the given number itself. 0 (zero) is
the additive identity.
a+0=a
The product of any number and 1 is the given number itself. 1 (one)
is called the multiplicative identity.
a∙1=a
Additive Inverse
The sum of a number and its opposite is 0. For any number a, the
additive inverse is – a.

Module 7, Lesson 1: Principal Roots: Rational or Irrational
Properties of Square Roots
A perfect square is never negative
A perfect square number never ends on 2, 3, 7, and 8
The number of zeros at the end of a perfect square is always even
The square of an even number is always even
The square of an odd number is always odd
Module 8, Lesson 1: Estimating Square Roots
Estimate the √10 to the nearest hundredth
Find the lower perfect square number (LPS) and the higher perfect square
number (HPS) of the given number
LPS → √9, √10, √16 ← HPS
√10 is located in between 3 and 4
Use the formula
given number - LPSHPS - LPS
10 - 916 - 9= 17
Divide 1 by 7 using long division
0.142 ← You can stop at the 3rd decimal place
Estimate the square root to the nearest hundredths
Recall that √10 is between 3 and 4 in Step 1. Therefore, we can say that √10
≈ 3.142 or 3.14
Module 8, Lesson 1: Plotting Irrational Numbers on a Number Line
Lets try plotting √10 on the number line
√10 is 3.14, so its in between the digits 3 and 4
Because 3.14 is closer to 3 than it is to 4, lets mark it close to 3
