Most Essential Learning Competencies Duration 1st Quarter 1. the formation of the universe and the solar system 2. the subsystems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) that make up the Earth make a concept map and use it to explain how the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are interconnected Describe the characteristics of Earth that are necessary to support life Week 1 Explain that the Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose boundaries matter and energy flow Week 1 1. the three main categories of rocks 2. the origin and environment of formation of common minerals and rocks 3. the various sources of energy (fossil fuels, geothermal, hydroelectric) 4. the amount of usable water resources on Earth 5. the distribution of arable land on Earth 1. make a plan that the community may use to conserve and protect its resources for future generations 2. prepare a plan that the community may implement to minimize waste when people utilize materials and resources Identify common rock-forming minerals using their physical and chemical properties Week 1 Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic Week 2 Identify the minerals important to society Week 2 Describe how ore minerals are found, mined, and processed for human use Week 3 Describe how fossil fuels are formed Week 3 Explain how heat from inside the Earth (geothermal) and from flowing water Week 4
- 2. 421 6. waste generation and management (hydroelectric) is tapped as a source of energy for human use Identify the various water resources on Earth Week 4 Explain how different activities affect the quality and availability of water for human use Week 5 Identify human activities, such as farming, construction of structures, and waste disposal, that affect the quality and quantity of soil Week 5 Give ways of conserving and protecting the soil for future generations Week 6 Describe how people generate different types of waste (solid, liquid, and gaseous) as they make use of various materials and resources in everyday life Week 6 Explain how different types of waste affect people’s health and the environment Week 7 2nd Quarter 1. geologic processes that occur on the surface of the Earth such as weathering, erosion, mass wasting, and sedimentation 2. geologic processes that occur within the Earth 3. folding and faulting of rocks 4. the internal structure of the Earth 5. continental drift 6. seafloor spreading 1. make a simple map showing places where erosion and landslides may pose risks in the community 2. using maps, diagrams, or models, predict what could happen in the future as the tectonic plates continue to move Describe how rocks undergo weathering Week 1 Explain why the Earth’s interior is hot Week 1 Describe what happens after magma is formed Week 2 describe the changes in mineral components and texture of rocks due to changes in pressure and temperature (metamorphism) Week 2 Describe how rocks behave under different types of stress such as compression, pulling apart, and shearing Week 3 explain how seafloor spreads Week 3 Describe the structure and evolution of ocean basins Week 4 explain how the movement of plates leads to the formation of folds, faults, trenches, volcanoes, rift valleys, and mountain ranges Week 4 1. relative and absolute dating Describe how layers of rocks (stratified rocks) are formed Week 5
- 3. 422 2. the major subdivisions of geologic time (including index fossils) 3. how the planet Earth evolved in the last 4.6 billion years describe the possible events that occurred in a certain area based on the rock layers found therein Describe the different methods (relative and absolute dating) of determining the age of stratified rocks Week 5 Explain how relative and absolute dating were used to determine the subdivisions of geologic time Week 6 Describe how index fossils (also known as guide fossils) are used to define and identify subdivisions of the geologic time scale Week 6 Describe the history of the Earth through geologic time Week 7 Grade Level: Grade 11 Subject: General Mathematics Quarter Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of… Performance Standards The learner is able to… Most Essential Learning competencies The learner… Duration 1st Quarter key concepts of functions. accurately construct mathematical models to represent real-life situations using functions. represents real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise functions. Week 1 evaluates a function. performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition of functions solves problems involving functions. key concepts of rational functions. accurately formulate and solve real-life problems involving rational functions. represents real-life situations using rational functions.
