Ms. Tabirara, may I know who’s
absent for today’s discussion?

Very Good. Before we formally

start our discussion.

Let me first tell you the 3 magic

rules.
Rule # 1: Raise your hand
before asking or speaking.
Rule #2: Be confident in sharing
ideas
Rule #3: Avoid unnecessary
behaviors that cause distraction
to your classmates.

What can you say about the

How about this one?

Are there any similarities Producing waves by strumming a

Yes, very good! The video clips exhibit or show
waves.
In grade 7, you learned that a
wave is a disturbance in a
medium that carries energy from
one point to another without a
net movement of particles. You
also learned that waves can be
categorized based from the way
it travels or propagate.

Based on these illustrations

which is the longitudinal wave?

How about Picture B? What do

you call that kind of wave?
Picture A, ma’am.
Transverse waves cause the
medium to move perpendicular

to the direction of the
wave. Longitudinal waves cause
the medium to move parallel to
the direction of the wave. Both
waves are called as mechanical
waves.

It seems that you still remember

your lesson about waves.

B. Establishing a (The teacher will present

 Earthquake, Ma’am.

What can you notice about the
pictures?
Any idea of what an earthquake
is?
Earthquake is the shaking and
trembling of the Earth’s surface or
crust.
When earthquake occurs, waves
are formed.

But what do you think is the

relevance of waves in the
occurrence of earthquakes?

Very good!
These waves are known as
seismic waves. These are the
energy that travels through the
Earth's interior layers during an
earthquake.

Do you know the two types of

seismic waves?

Alright, that will be our lesson

for today.

Let us have our objectives for

today’s lesson.

• Differentiate Primary waves

and Secondary waves
• Describe Love waves and
Rayleigh waves
• Discuss how earthquake
waves provides information
about the interior of the earth.

Let’s get started by having a

group activity that will connect
your prior knowledge to our new
lesson.

C. Presenting I will divide you into two groups.

examples/instances of Each group will be given a task
the new lesson to be accomplished for 10
(EXPLORE) minutes. After the activity, one
member in each group will
present their output in front of
the class. Any members from
the other group can ask
questions to the reporting group.

(The activity sheet is attached

on the last page)

Your output will be graded

 based from this rubric.

Before you proceed to the

activity, please be reminded of
these rules.

 Always follow the directions

given by the teacher
 Cooperate with your team
 Work quietly and smartly
 Finish your task on time
 Clean/organize the area
after

Any questions?
You can start now.

and S-waves? earth’s interior in a push-pull
motion, while S-waves are
secondary waves that move from
side to side.
Very Good!

P-wave is the first to be

detected on the seismograph
while S-wave is the second to
detect on the seismograph. The
P-wave is longitudinal while the
S-wave is transverse. P-waves
shake the medium in the
direction of the propagation of
waves while S-waves shake the
medium in the perpendicular
direction of the propagation of
waves.
Love and Rayleigh waves
What are the two types of
surface waves?
Side to side, ma’am,
Based on your activity, how do
love waves move the ground?
Side-to-side, and up and down,
How about Rayleigh waves? Ma’am.
 How does it move the ground?

Very Good!
F. Developing Mastery

called Seismic waves.

What do you think are seismic These are waves that travels

earthquake waves?

That’s right!

Body waves are seismic waves (Students read the text)

that travel through the interior of
the Earth. While surface waves
are waves that can only travel
through the Earth’s surface.

Primary waves are the fastest

kind of seismic waves. It is also
the first to arrive at a seismic
station and recorded in a
seismograph. Hence, the name
primary waves.

S-waves are also slower than P-

waves. S-waves arrive after
detecting P-waves.

What are the two types of

surface waves?

Very Good. Love waves and Raleigh waves.

Love wave is named after the (Students read the text)

British mathematician Augustus
Edward Love who worked on
the mathematical model for this

kind of wave.

Rayleigh wave was named after

John William Strutt, Lord
 Rayleigh, a British scientist who
predicted the existence of this
wave.

Can we predict earthquakes? No, Ma’am.
Correct! We cannot predict
earthquakes, but why do we
need to study earthquake (Answers may vary)
waves? Anyone?
Because earthquake waves
provide information about the
layers beneath the earth’s
surface.

Due to the fact that studying

another answer?
earthquake waves is important in
order for us to understand how
they travel to the earth's layers,
which helps us to predict and
prepare for future earthquakes.

Great answer!
Earthquake waves play a crucial
role in providing insights into the
earth's interior.

Earthquake waves give us a

picture, of the Earth’s interior,
the way an “ultrasound”
provides an image of a baby
inside the womb. This is why

interior of our home planet, even
if no one has gone deep into the
Earth yet.
