SAMPLE DETAILED LESSON PLAN (GRADE 11)

Grade Level: ELEVEN Date:

LearningArea: EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE Quarter: SECOND

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standard: The learner demonstrates understanding of the:
a. formation of the universe and the solar system
b. subsystems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere) that make up the
Earth
c. Earth’s internal structure
B. Performance Standard: The learner shall be able to:
a. conduct a survey to assess the possible geologic hazards that your community may
experience
b. conduct a survey or design a study to assess the possible hydrometeorological hazards
that your community may experience
C. Learning Competency: Explain that the Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose
boundaries matter and energy flow. (S11/12ES-Ia-e-4)
1. Define the concept of a system
2. Recognize the Earth as a system composed of subsystem

II. CONTENT: Earth Subsystems

 Elaborate
F. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
• What might happen if any of the four subsystems of Earth fail or becomes disturbed by
human activities?
G. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson
• Ask: What is a system?
• What are the different subsystems of Earth? Describe each.

Evaluate
H. Evaluating learning
Activity-embedded assessment
I. Additional activities for application or remediation
