Science Discipline/Component Earth and Space
Grade Level Standard
At the end of Grade 3, learners can describe the functions of the different parts of the body and things that make up their
surroundings --- rocks and soil, plants and animals, the Sun, Moon and stars. They can also classify these things as solid,
liquid or gas. They can describe how objects move and what makes them move. They can also identify sources and
describe uses of light, heat, sound, and electricity.
Learners can describe changes in the conditions of their surroundings. These would lead learners to become more
curious about their surroundings, appreciate nature, and practice health and safety measures.
Geology - Learners will describe what makes up their environment, beginning with the landforms and bodies of water
found in their community.
Domain Meteorology - Learners will describe the different types of local weather.
Astronomy - Learners will describe the natural objects that they see in the sky.
The learners should be able to…
Performance Standard 1. express their concerns about their surroundings through teacher-guided and self –directed activities;
2. express ideas about safety measures during different weather conditions creatively (through artwork, poem, song); and
3. list down activities which affect their daily activities.
The learners demonstrate understanding of...
1. people, animals, plants, lakes, rivers, streams, hills, mountains, and other landforms and their importance;
Content Standard 2. types and effects
of weather as they relate to daily activities, health and safety; 3.
natural objects in the sky affect one's daily activities.

Grade GRADE 6
At the end of Grade 6, learners recognize that when mixed together, materials may not form new ones thus these mater
may be recovered using different separation techniques. They can prepare useful mixtures such as food, drinks and her
medicines.
Learners understand how the different organ systems of the human body work together. They can classify plants based
reproductive structures, and animals based on the presence or lack of backbone. They can design and conduct an
investigation on plant propagation. They can describe larger ecosystems such as rainforests, coral reefs, and mangrove
Grade Level Standard swamps.
Learners can infer that friction and gravity affect how people and objects move. They have found out that heat, light, so
electricity, and motion studied earlier are forms of energy and these undergo transformation.
Learners can describe what happens during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and demonstrate what to do w
they occur. They can infer that the weather follows a pattern in the course of a year. They have learned about th
solar system, with emphasis on the motions of the Earth as prerequisite to the study of seasons in another grade
level.
Geology - Learners will learn that aside from weathering and erosion, there are other processes that may alter the surfa
the Earth: earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Only the effects of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are taken up in th
grade level, not their causes (which will be tackled in Grades 8 and 9). Learners will also gather and report data on
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in their community or region.
Domain Meteorology - After learning how to measure the different components of weather in Grades 4 and 5, learners will now
collect weather data within the span of the school year. Learners will interpret the data and identify the weather pattern
their community.
Astronomy - In Grade 6, learners will turn their attention to Earth as another natural object in space (in addition to the
Moon, and stars). Learners will learn about the motions of the Earth: rotation and revolution. Learners will also comp
the different members that make up the Solar System and construct models to help them visualize their relative sizes an
distances.
The learners should design an emergency and

Space
realize the importance of fair testing when conducting investigations.
After studying how organ systems work

together in plants and animals in the lower grade levels, learners can use a microscope when observing very small
organisms and structures. They recognize that living things are organized into different levels: Cells, tissues,
organs, organ systems, and organisms. These organisms comprise populations and communities, which interact
with non-living things in ecosystems.
Learners can describe the motion of objects in terms of
distance and speed, and represent this in tables, graphs, charts, and equations. They can describe how various forms
of energy travel through different mediums.
Learners describe what makes up the Philippines as a whole and the

resources found in the archipelago. They can explain the occurrence of breezes, monsoons, and ITCZ, and
how these weather systems affect people. They can explain why seasons change and demonstrate how
eclipses occur.
Geology - Learners will explore and locate places using a coordinate system. They will discover that our country’s
location near the equator and along the Ring of Fire influences elements that make up the Philippine environment
(e.g., natural resources and climate).
Meteorology - Learners will explain the occurrence of atmospheric phenomena (breezes, monsoons, and ITCZ)
Domain that are commonly experienced in the country as a result of the Philippines’ location with respect to the equator,
and surrounding bodies of water and landmasses.
Astronomy - Learners will explain the occurrence of the seasons and eclipses as a result of the motions of the
Earth and the Moon. Using models, learners will explain that because the Earth revolves around the Sun, the
seasons change, and because the Moon revolves around the Earth, eclipses sometimes occur.
The learners shall be able to analyze the advantage of the location of the Philippines in relation to the climate,
weather, and seasons.
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:

Grade GRADE 10
At the end of Grade 10, learners realize that volcanoes and earthquakes occur in the same places in the world a
that these are related to plate boundaries. They can demonstrate ways to ensure safety and reduce damage duri
earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Learners can explain the factors affecting the balance and stability o
object to help them practice appropriate positions and movements to achieve efficiency and safety such as in sports and
dancing. They can analyze situations in which energy is harnessed for human use whereby heat is released, affecting th
Grade Level Standard physical and biological components of the environment. Learners will have completed the study of the entire organism
their deeper study of the excretory and reproductive systems. They can explain in greater detail how genetic informatio
passed from parents to offspring, and how diversity of species increases the probability of adaptation and survival in
changing environments. Learners can explain the importance of controlling the conditions under which a chemical reac
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.
Using maps, learners will discover that volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges are not randomly scatte
Domain in different places but are located in the same areas. This will lead to an appreciation of plate tectonics—a theory that b
many geologic processes such as volcanism and earthquakes.
