SCHOOL YEAR 2019-2020

Grade Level: 10 Quarter: First

Unit Title: Plate Tectonics
Content Standard: The learners demonstrate an understanding on the patterns and relationships among the locations of volcanoes, earthquake
epicenters and mountain ranges in order to ensure disaster preparedness.
Performance Standard: The learners shall be able suggest and demonstrate scientific ways to ensure disaster preparedness and contribute to government
efforts in reducing damage due to earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
Formation Standard: The learners shall become responsible citizens of the community.
(Core Value: Social Responsibility) (Bible Verse: Deuteronomy 6:10-12)
Transfer Goal: Students will be able to independently use their learning to suggest and demonstrate scientific ways to ensure disaster preparedness
and contribute to government efforts in reducing damage during and due to earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions as
responsible individuals.
Performance Task: The Philippines, because of its geographical location, is vulnerable to many types of natural disasters. It is located at the western
part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a most active part of the earth characterized by an ocean encircling belt of active volcanoes and
earthquake generators.
In response to all these factors and conditions, you are to develop a strategy for disaster preparedness and risk reduction for natural
catastrophes that include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and their resultant effects like tsunamis specifically designed for Filipinos
whether in the government and private sectors or common citizens.

Your product will be evaluated based on:

• Content
• Planning and Organization
• Creativity
• Impact

OPTION 1: LOCAL DRRM (DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT) OFFICER

Last April 22, 2019, a magnitude-6.1 earthquake occurred in northern Philippines, with the epicenter located near Castillejos,
Zambales, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). The earthquake was tectonic in
origin with a depth of 10 km. Damage and casualties are being reported in the Central Luzon region, which is one of the most
seismically active areas in the Philippines due to the presence of the Philippine fault, Iba fault, East Zambales fault, and the Manila
Trench, according to PHIVOLCS. (https://reliefweb.int/report/philippines/philippines-northern-philippines-earthquake-flash-
update-no-1-23-april-2019)

You are the Local DRRM Officer of Zambales and tasked to ensure disaster preparedness this year among public schools in the
city. You are to create any of the following that will be used to educate and train elementary and high school students in preparation
for an earthquake so they will know what to do during an earthquake.
• Demonstration video
• PowerPoint presentation
• Presentation using a Web 2.0 tool (e.g., www.emaze.com or www.prezi.com)

OPTION 2: PHIVOLCS SCIENCE RESEARCH SPECIALIST

Mayon Volcano recently erupted and has always been active. The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 caused huge damage to
properties and the environment especially in Pampanga, Zambales and Tarlac. Hundreds of people were killed and thousands were
left homeless. There are also many other active and dormant volcanoes in the Philippines.

You are the Science Research Specialist of PHIVOLCS and scheduled to be interviewed in a national TV program on the science
behind volcanic eruptions and primarily on disaster preparedness and risk reduction.

You will prepare any of the following as your visual aid that will be shown to the viewers during the TV interview.
• Flyer illustrating a Disaster Preparedness Kit
• Animated Video (e.g., Flash, Shockwave or Web 2.0 Tools like www.powtoon.com)

OPTION 3: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST

As an Emergency Management Specialist trained overseas, you were hired by the Philippine government to develop capacity-
building activities at the barangay and municipality level to include orientation on earthquake and tsunami concepts, familiarization
of tsunami hazard maps and preparation of tsunami evacuation plans.

Your first assignment is to conduct a training in Zambales. The participants for the training include LGU members, Barangay
Council, Coast Guard, and the Philippine army from coastal municipalities in Zambales. You are to design a simple yet
comprehensive and easy-to-understand training tool that focuses on disaster preparedness, risk reduction, response and recovery
plan for tsunamis. The training tool may be created using any of the following formats.
• Brochure
• Video presentation of a collection of photos and videos from actual tsunamis that happened in different countries, including
pre-tsunami and post-tsunami information, events and activities
• Infographic in PDF using Canva (www.canva.com)
