Prayer Prayer
-Let’s start our day with a prayer. May I *Ms. Marco will lead the prayer and
request everyone to please stand up, Ms. everyone prays*
Marco will you please lead the prayer?
Greetings Greetings
- Good morning class, How’s your day? - Good morning, sir, we’re doing great sir.

*The teacher starts to check the
attendance of the students*
Checking of Assignment
- Okay, it seems that we have perfect
attendance no one is absent. Well done Checking of Assignment
everyone.
-Before we proceed to our discussion, did I -Thank you, Sir.

Okay, did you read and review your notes? - Yes Sir
Glad to hear that. So, today we’re going to *The students will hand their assignment

lesson. *Presents objectives to the class*

-Again, what was our discussion last - Sir last meeting we talked about the
types of fault

thoughts with the class Ms. Ashanti?
-Okay, very well said Ms. Ashanti. Last *Answer of the student will vary

Are you all ready?
ENGAGE (7 mins)
- Let’s play this game called “Arrange
me!” * The students pay attention to their

- Job well done guys, this is how the *The students are listening attentively*
proper order of events looks like when
rocks along a fault suddenly break. As you
can all notice, everytime a fault shifts,
rock breaks due to pressure build-up
which will be transformed into energy that
is being released right after that event
occur. This phenomenon would eventually
create a seismic wave that makes the
ground shake.
EXPLORE
-Did you know Scientists Seismic waves to
study the nature of Earth’s interior? The
question now is, why did they use this?
How did they use this type of wave to *The students are listening attentively*
understand the Layer of Earth’s interior?
We’ll find out and answer these questions
as we go along with our discussion. So,
lend me your ears and pay attention
carefully.

EXPLAIN
Let’s start our discussion with this
question.
What are Seismic Waves?
-are the waves of energy that travel either
 along or near the Earth's surface. *The students are listening attentively*
-this energy that travels through the Earth
is recorded by seismographs

There are Two Types of Seismic Wave

*The students are responding to the
- Body Waves prompting and probing of the teacher*
- Surface Waves
Body Waves
-the body waves are seismic waves that
travel through the interior of the Earth
(Higher Frequency)
Surface Waves
-waves that only travel through the crust
(Lower Frequency)
Two Types of Body Waves
- Primary Waves or P Waves
- Secondary Waves or S Waves

Primary Waves or P Waves

- these are the fastest kind of seismic
waves
- first to arrive at a seismic station and
be recorded in the seismograph
- the P waves can move through solid
rocks and fluids
- they push and pull the rocks as they
move though just like the sound waves
that push and pull the air

Secondary Waves or S Waves

- S waves are slower than P Waves
- second to arrive at the seismic station
- can only move through solid rocks, not
through any liquid medium
- these waves move rock particles up
and down, or side-to-side
perpendicular to the direction in which
the waves are traveling.

ELABORATE
-What have you found out from doing the
activity? *The learners will answer the series of
- How are you going to describe faults questions based on what they’ve learned
using the model you’ve just made? from the discussion*
- By doing the activity, can you now -Yes, Sir.

EVALUATE
- Kindly get ½ sheet of paper, crosswise *The learners are taking their quiz*
then answer the following questions.

EXTEND
Read and review your notes then
