B. Establishing a Present the picture below: Let the students infer the relationship of faults and
purpose for the earthquake.
lesson
Expected Answer:
The images show that when too much bending occurs
and the limit is reached, the rocks will suddenly snap.
The bent rocks straighten out and vibrate. The
vibrations travel in all directions and people in
different places will feel them as a quake, thus
earthquake can be defined as a vibration of the Earth
due to the rapid release of energy.

What can you observe in the picture?
Have you seen a similar scenario in your barangay?
Guide Questions:
What are faults?
How are faults generated?
C. Presenting Let the students share their insights in the given The teacher shows a video of a news clip “BT:
examples/instances questions and allow them to share examples and Magnitude 7.2 earthquake na tumama sa Bohol,
of the lesson experiences related to the figure presented. katumbas ng 32 Hiroshima atomic bombs”
(Note: the video will be played until 0:45 only)
F. Developing mastery Activity: Stuck ‘n’ Shake Activity: “Where Does an Earthquake Start?”
(lead to formative
assessment) What happens when bending becomes too much? Prepared copy of a Fault model will be given and
students will follow the procedure in the activity to be
Possible Answer: able to label the parts of the model.
When too much bending occurs and the limit is
reached, the rocks suddenly snap. The bent rocks
straighten out and vibrate. The vibrations travel in
all directions and people in different places will feel
them as a quake. An earthquake is a vibration of the
Earth due to the rapid release of energy.
G. Finding practical The teacher asks students to present their fault model.

daily living
The following questions may be asked to facilitate
processing of concepts learned:
Expected Answer:
The focus can be found beneath the Earth’s surface.
It is the place where the first break happens, where
the fault starts to slip, where first movement takes
place. It is the starting point of the earthquake.
Expected Answer:
The epicenter is on the surface of the Earth directly
above the focus.
Expected Answer:
The trace of the fault on the surface of the Earth is
called the fault line.
Expected Answer:
The flat surface between the two pieces is called the
fault plane.
Expected Answer:
The intensity of an earthquake gives us an idea of how strong or weak the shaking is.
The released energy can be calculated by scientists and is called the magnitude of the earthquake.
To distinguish the two, intensity is expressed using Roman numerals (I, II, III) while magnitude uses Hindu-
Arabic numerals (2, 3, 4).
