Course Description
The enhanced science curriculum for Science , Technology and Mathematics (STEM) provides opportunities for
learners to gain scientific, mathematical and technological literacy for them to be equipped with the twenty
first century skills aside from helping them prepare for their optimal educational path in the sciences.
Instructional methods will emphasize development of critical thinking and reasoning skills in addition to
recognizing relationships among phenomena and understanding science processes to master content areas in
biology, chemistry, physics and earth science. Enriching the core contents in these sciences and emphasizing
investigative experiences while utilizing mathematical, analytical data acquisition and communication skills reinforce
the concepts. The course exposes learners to engage in activities rich in context for six (6) hours per week.

In Grade 7, learners are introduced to the levels of organization in the human body and other organisms. They learn that organisms consist of cells, most of which
are grouped into organ systems that perform specialized functions. Additional topics dealing with the study on the use of appropriate equipment and
methods especially on biological techniques, procedures and methods of gathering specimens are included as enrichment.
.
After learning how flowering and non flowering plants reproduce, Grade 7 learners are taught that asexual reproduction results in genetically identical offspring
whereas sexual reproduction gives rise to variation.
Learners learn that the cells in similar tissues and organs in other animals are similar to those in human beings but differ somewhat from cells found in plants.
Learners learn that interactions occur among the different levels of organization in ecosystems. Organisms of the same kind interact with each other to form
populations; populations interact with other populations to form communities.
Students learn from activities that make them observe and discover by themselves the concepts about the solution and its components; unsaturated,
saturated, and supersaturated solutions; substances and mixtures; elements and compounds; acids and bases.
In addition, the learners are also able to recognize the uses of these various kinds of materials in their homes and in the community.
From a simple understanding of motion, learners study more scientific ways of describing (in terms of distance, speed, and acceleration) and representing (using
motion diagrams, charts, and graphs) the motion of objects in one dimension. Concepts about scalars and vectors, finding the resultant vector using
graphical method, and graphing motion shall be discussed in order to enrich the content in Physics. Such skills would develop the learners drafting and
mechanical engineering skills.
Learners also recognize that different forms of energy travel in different wayslight and sound travel through waves, heat travels through moving or vibrating
Page 3 of 65
In Grade 9 Biology, learners study the coordinated functions of the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems, and learn that nutrients enter the bloodstream and
combine with oxygen taken in through the respiratory system. Together, they are transported to the cells where oxygen is used to release the stored energy.
Learners study the structure of genes and chromosomes, and the functions they perform in the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. Additional topics
are given to learners to give them a deeper understanding of foundations and application of biotechnology. They will manifest understanding of
biotechnology by making informed decision to promote good health, improve livelihood, and making intelligent and moral choices. Learners cite some
application of DNA technology and discuss some social and ethical issues associated with biotechnology. Learners learn that most species that have once
existed are now extinct. Species become extinct when they fail to adapt to changes in the environment. They also learn how plants capture energy from the Sun and
store energy in sugar molecules (photosynthesis). This stored energy is used by cells during cellular respiration. These two processes are related to each other.
Page 4 of 65
In Grade 9 Chemistry, using their understanding of atomic structure learned in Grade 8, learners describe how atoms can form units called molecules. They
also learn about ions. Further, they explain how atoms form bonds (ionic and covalent) with other atoms by the transfer or sharing of electrons. They also learn that
the forces holding metals together are caused by the attraction between flowing electrons and the positively charged metal ions. Learners explain how covalent
bonding in carbon forms a wide variety of carbon compounds. Recognizing that matter consists of an extremely large number of very small particles, counting these
particles is not practical. So, learners are introduced to the unitmole. Learners also explain how new compounds are formed in terms of the rearrangement of
particles. They also recognize that a wide variety of useful compounds may arise from such rearrangements. In addition, learners learn how to name common
inorganic ionic and covalent compounds. They also learn that carbon atoms have the abilities to combine with one another, can form various types of
bonds like single bond, double bond, and triple bonds with other carbon atoms and other elements. Also, they learn that these special abilities of carbon
atoms are the reason why they can form many kinds of useful organic compounds. Learners are also able to investigate properties and uses of common
organic compounds.
In Grade 9 Physics, learners use the Law of Conservation of Momentum to further deepen their understanding about motion of objects. From motion in one
dimension in the previous grades, they learn at this level about motion in two dimensions using projectile motion as an example. Learners explain how conservation
of mechanical energy is applied in some structures, such as roller coasters, and in natural environments like waterfalls. They further describe the transformation of
energy that takes place in hydroelectric power plants. Learners also learn about the relationship between heat and work, and apply this concept to explain how
geothermal power plants operate. After they have learned how electricity is generated in power plants, learners further develop their understanding of transmission
of electricity from power stations to homes. As enrichment, concepts on transformers are included in the teaching of power generation, transmission, and
distribution. The learners will differentiate step-up from step-down transformers. The activities involve calculations to develop the problem solving and
other engineering skills of the learners. To further enrich the content, different electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes,
transistors, and semiconductors are discussed. Learners also explain how each electronic component works.
In Grade 9 Earth and Space Science, using models or simulations, learners explain what happens when volcanoes erupt. They describe the different types
of volcanoes and differentiate active volcanoes from inactive ones. They analyze and explain warning signs prior to volcanic eruptions. They also describe
different hazards when volcanoes erupt. Learners also explain how energy from volcanoes may be tapped for human use. Learners distinguish between weather
and climate. They explain how different factors affect the climate of an area. They learn different climatic phenomena that occur over a wide area (e.g., El Nio and
global warming). They also cite practical ways to reduce risks and lessen the impact of climate change. Learners will now leave the Solar System and learn
about the stars beyond. They infer the characteristics of stars based on the characteristics of the Sun. Using models, learners show that constellations move in the
course of a night because of Earths rotation, while different constellations are observed in the course of a year because of the Earths revolution. In addition,
learners describe what makes up galaxies and identify its different types. After describing the types of galaxies, learners will discuss its motion and infer
that the Universe is expanding.
Page 5 of 65
At the end of Grade 10, learners realize that volcanoes and earthquakes occur in the same places in the world and that these are related to plate boundaries. They
can demonstrate ways to ensure safety and reduce damage during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. They can also relate the geologic processes
that occur in the Philippines to its tectonic setting. Learners can explain the factors affecting the balance and stability of an object to help them practice
appropriate positions and movements to achieve efficiency and safety such as in sports and dancing. Learners discuss alpha, beta and gamma radiation and
their properties. They will differentiate between discrete electronic components and integrated circuits. Learners will have completed the study of the entire
organism with their deeper study of the excretory and reproductive systems. They can explain in greater detail how genetic information is passed from parents to
offspring, and how diversity of species increases the probability of adaptation and survival in changing environments. In addition, the learners will discuss ethical
concerns about new technologies used in detection and treatment of human conditions. Learners can explain the importance of controlling the conditions
under which a chemical reaction occurs. They recognize that cells and tissues of the human body are made up of water, a few kinds of ions, and biomolecules.
These biomolecules may also be found in the food they eat.

SPIRALLING OF CONCEPTS
Grade 7
In Grade 6, learners learned how to
distinguish homogenous from
heterogeneous mixtures. In Grade
7, learners investigate properties of
solutions that are homogeneous
mixtures. They learn how to express
concentrations of solutions
qualitatively and quantitatively. They
distinguish mixtures from
substances based on a set of
properties.
Learners begin to do guided and
semi-guided investigations, making
sure that the experiment they are
conducting is a fair test.
Grade 8
Grade 9
Grade 10
Learners investigate how gases behave in
different conditions based on their
knowledge of the motion of and distances
between gas particles. Learners then
confirm whether their explanations are
consistent with the Kinetic Molecular
Theory. They also learn the relationships
between volume, temperature, and
pressure using established gas laws.
In Grade 9, learners learned that the
bonding characteristics of carbon result in
the formation of large variety of
compounds. In Grade 10, they learn more
about these compounds that include
biomolecules such as carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Further,
they will recognize that the structure of
these compounds comprises repeating
units that are made up of a limited number
of elements such as carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen.
