PUBLISHER’S NOTE
RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES OF K to 12
“A teacher built a temple

With loving and infinite care
Planning each arch with patience
Laying each stone with prayer…”
What makes an effective teacher? Some would say, a mind that never ceases to learn, a heart that
is always willing to love, and hands that are offered to accompany a young traveler in the quest for
knowledge. It is these essential traits that help teachers dedicate themselves to the tremendous but
vital task of educating learners. From the first day of school, to the next ten months, they will be seen
discovering their learners, searching new references, crafting lesson plans, trying out new strategies,
designing instructional materials, and assessing their learners — daily tasks that teachers have grown
adept to.
Yet with the advent of the new K to 12 curriculum, both novice and experienced teachers
face a lot of adjustments. They will have to adapt to a new framework, learn new approaches, and
incorporate 21st century skills that meet present and future realities. They will have to teach an
enriched curriculum, and even change old paradigms with fresh ones. We, your partners at REX Book
Store, understand.
This enhanced Teacher’s Resource Material (TRM) is designed to assist teachers during this
critical transitional phase in facilitating their learners’ understanding of the lesson. This Transition
TRM allows teachers to apply the essential features of the K to 12 curriculum even on products that
have yet to receive the K to 12 transformation.
Backward Design
This new TRM follows the “authentic” backward design espoused by Dr. Grant Wiggins, one of
the proponents of the teaching for understanding approach. In this design, units in the TRM have
been organized according to themes and content domains, changing the traditional quarter-based
division. Units have now been enriched with additional lessons that go beyond the worktext,
preparing learners with the necessary skills as they transition from the old curriculum to the new K to
12 curriculum. Furthermore, the understanding-based orientation of the TRM will guide the teachers
every step of the way, providing them with the learning goals, pre-assessments, learning plans, and
performance-based assessments that will contribute to the holistic development of the learners. The
Key Understandings and Key Questions found in the TRM allow teachers to tailor their instruction
so that learners would appreciate and value the relevance of these lessons in their lives. Updated
references and innovative teaching strategies used in the enrichment of the TRM will also add to the
teachers’ knowledge of their subject matter.
Technology Enhancement CD (TEC)

We believe that to teach 21st century learners effectively, teachers need to be equipped with the
appropriate 21st century tools. Thus, we have included with this TRM the Technology Enhancement
CD (TEC) – a teaching companion that provides teachers with a repertoire of instructional materials
(IMs) that they can use to prepare effective lessons. In the TEC, teachers will find IMs such as multimedia
presentations, ready-to-print worksheets, and audio files. Also included are related articles from Rex
Crown Journals and links to educational websites.
vii
The IMs found in the TEC have also been assigned to particular parts in the lesson plans
of the TRM as prompted by the following icons. These are based on the research on the four
planning questions for instruction of Robert J. Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock of the
Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). According to their findings, certain
instructional strategies have been precisely identified as effective in improving learning, and they
have been framed within four planning questions to guide teachers on when to use these strategies
appropriately. These planning questions have been translated into the four key stages in lesson
development, particularly the:
Learning Objectives – This icon basically addresses what learners will learn in the lesson.
The instructional materials indicated here provide the objectives for desired learning
outcomes.
Learning Evidences – This icon provides exercises and feedback strategies to help the
teacher determine the learners’ prior knowledge. By knowing the learners’ current level
of understanding, the teacher can provide instruction better attuned to their learning
dispositions.
Acquisition Strategies – This icon gives the teacher strategies that will help learners
acquire learning and unlock meaning. Examples of these strategies include:
• Cues, questions, and advance organizers
• Nonlinguistic representation
• Summarizing and note-taking
• Cooperative learning
• Reinforcing effort
Practice Strategies – This icon presents strategies that help learners practice, review, and
apply their learning. By analyzing new learning, such as through identifying similarities
and differences with other concepts, and by applying it through generating and testing
hypothesis, learners are better able to retain learning and transfer it to unique situations.
Hence, when an icon appears in a particular section of the lesson plan, it signals to the teacher
that there are additional IMs available in the TEC that the teacher can use as optional enrichment
activities.
Nurturing the 5Cs of the Filipino K to 12 Teacher

Through all the features found in this TRM, the teachers’ level of competence will surely get a
boost. Their creative minds will also get the needed spark with the provision of various Differentiated
Instruction (DI) activities in this TRM for the purpose of giving every learner a chance to succeed.
These activities, which cater to the learners’ readiness, interest, and learning profile, will not only
develop their understanding of the lesson but will challenge the teachers’ creativity to come up
with new ones. Furthermore, teachers will value the contribution of every learner in the classroom
no matter how small. As the learners’ empathy is evoked through the activities, so too is the
teachers’ compassion for their efforts, urging them to nurture, monitor, and acknowledge them. The
TRM likewise provides for the integration of values found in the textbook into the real world. This
opportunity will aid the learners to expand their knowledge of the self and open new avenues for
character formation. It is in the opening of this facet and the discussion about it that teachers will also
find themselves clarifying their own beliefs, thus, contributing to their own character formation.
viii
Teaching is not all hard work. It is peppered with little successes dotted with smiles and painted
with a blush of joy. It is all these that move the teacher to go on, day after day, year after year from
one commitment to another.
“…But the temple the teacher fashioned

Will last while the ages roll
For that beautiful, unseen temple
was a child’s immortal soul.”

the Key Understandings and Key Questions; and the Knowledge and Skills for the specific
lessons. These are aligned to 21st century skills which are necessary for today’s learners.
• Teaching Plan
This part of the Teacher’s Resource Material is a very rich resource for teaching on a day-
to-day basis. The Teaching Plan:
– starts with the introductory page which has the Unit Summary, Content, and
Performance Standards aligned to the Grade Level Standards, and Overarching KUs
and KQs;
– is followed by the unit’s pre-assessment tool to assess the students’ readiness vis-à-
vis the learning goals; and
– presents the learning flow from the first lesson to the last lesson of a specific unit. It
is in this part where the enrichment made by differentiation of activities and tasks
can be found.
• Answer Key to Exercises
This concludes each unit of the Unit Plan.
This Teacher’s Resource Material will be able to make the students find enjoyment and meaning
to every learning experience in school as they perform authentic tasks.

CURRICULUM MAP
Key Stage Standards:
The learners should have developed scientific, technological, and environmental literacy that would lead to rational choices on issues confronting
them. Having been exposed to scientific investigations related to real life, they should recognize that the central feature of an investigation is that if one
variable is changed (while controlling all others), the effect of the change on another variable can be measured. The context of the investigation can be
problems at the local or national level to allow them to communicate with learners in other parts of the Philippines or even from other countries using
appropriate technology.
The learners should demonstrate an understanding of science concepts and apply science inquiry skills in addressing real-world problems through
scientific investigations.
Grade Level Standards:

After learning about the digestive system, learners have expanded their knowledge to a deeper understanding of the respiratory and circulatory
systems to promote overall health. They are familiar with some technologies that introduce desired traits in economically important plants and
animals.
Learners can explain how new materials are formed when atoms are rearranged. They can recognize that a wide variety of useful compounds may
xv
arise from such rearrangements.

Learners can identify volcanoes and distinguish between active and inactive ones. They can explain how energy from volcanoes may be tapped
for human use. They are familiar with climatic phenomena that occur on a global scale. They can explain why certain constellations can be seen only at
certain times of the year.
Learners can predict the outcomes of interactions among objects in real life applying the laws of conservation of energy and momentum.

Ask the students to complete the last column of the KWL chart.
They have to write the things they have learned in this lesson and
align it with what they have written in the K and W columns.
2. Portfolio Activity
As a final activity for the class, ask them to conduct a research
study based on the following facts:
Hundreds of studies have linked smoking with cardiovascular
and lung disease. According to most health authorities, smoking
is the leading cause of preventable premature death even in
countries like the Philippines. Thus, governments ban television
advertising of cigarettes and require the tobacco industry to place
health warnings on packages and in print ads. Anti-smoking and
health groups have proposed that cigarette advertising be banned
entirely. Currently our government has passed a law that imposes
higher tax for cigarettes. What are the arguments in favor and in
opposition of the total ban on cigarette use? Do you favor or oppose
such ban? What are the arguments in favor and in opposition of the
imposition of higher taxes on cigarette products? Do you favor or
oppose such measure?

Research findings can be presented in a variety of formats:
• multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, video, wiki)
• written report; and/or
• visual display (poster, bulletin board).
2. 10 + 2 Note-taking
Present information for 10 minutes and then have each student
summarize or discuss the material with a partner for two minutes. Integration with:

same, and have an equal number of male and female seals if
possible (For example, male seals that eat sea urchins or female • Communication Skills
seals with thick blubber).
3. Make a table on the chalkboard with the columns: protected
population, unprotected population; sub-columns in each
column: adults, juveniles, babies; and the rows: year 1, 2, etc.
4. Have students look over their cards. Make sure they know their
traits, sex.
5. For each year, describe the environment and which traits will
lead to the death of an individual (see Example environments/
results).
36
6. Move dead students to another part of the room (such as
behind the group they worked with). They will be in charge of
the babies/juveniles for their group.
7. Remaining males and females (per group) will pair up and
produce one offspring. Make a card for this offspring by letting
students play “scissors, paper, rock” to decide which parent’s
trait will be passed on to the offspring (once per trait—do not
forget sex). Mark the offspring year in the upper right hand
corner.
8. Tally the adults and babies.
9. Give the baby cards to the dead to keep track of.
10. Kill someone from the unprotected group.
11. Repeat steps 5–9, describing the environment, pairing mates,
making baby cards, and tallying adults, babies, and now
juveniles (babies of previous years). Juveniles are subject to the
same risks as adults, they just don’t get to mate (yet).
12. Kill someone in the unprotected population every few years.
13. After four or five generations (you decide based on class size-
small class, shorter generation time), juveniles get to join the
adult population.
14. Repeat until ten minutes before class is over.
15. Count how many seals are in each population. Compare.
16. After the simulation, have a class discussion. Ask questions
like “Was there one perfect seal?” “What happened to the
unprotected population?” Try to lead the students to come
up with the ideas such as: (1) variation is good; (2) variation
is inherited; and (3) the environment changes. Discuss why
bigger populations are better, and why it is important to
protect natural populations.
Example environments/results:
1. Cold winter. Any seal with thin blubber and thin fur dies.
2. Sea urchin disease. Any seal that eats only urchins dies.
(this might be a seal that’s weak and slow and can’t catch
fish).
3. Not much food this year either. If a small female is paired
with an extra large male, then the female dies. Male
survives, no young produced by that pair. (You will now
have a skewed sex ratio, and some males will not be able
to mate during the next generations—they are still alive,
but make no babies).
4. Hot summer. Seals with thick fur and thick blubber die.
5. Anchovy population crashes (favorite food of young—
keep in mind that this is only an example), and young must
rely entirely on breast milk. Young nursed for 8 months or
less die.

Conclusion
1. Journal Writing
Integration with:
Provide students with the following scenario:
Language
Your friend was recently diagnosed with strep throat, an
infection that causes a sore throat and fever. Her doctor said the
infection is easily treated and cured and gave her a prescription for
an antibiotic. When you accompanied your friend to the pharmacist
to get the prescription filled, the pharmacist told her to finish all
the antibiotic pills, and not discontinue taking it even if she started
to feel better. After taking the antibiotic pills for three days, your
friend started to feel better. She is thinking about not finishing
the treatment. Explain to your friend why it is important that she
finish the entire antibiotic treatment. Refer to variation and natural
selection in your explanation.
2. Exit Cards
Ask the students at least three things they learned about the
lesson. Summative Assessment
3. Portfolio Activity (Group Work)
Tell students to prepare a Google slide presentation about
biodiversity that will be presented to the class. Remind the students
to think about the topics that interests them the most throughout
the lesson. The following are the presentation topics (for each
group):
• How do the mechanisms of change in evolution lead to species
diversity?
• How does phylogeny work?
• Why should people care about protecting species biodiversity?
• How do people in the community benefit from species
biodiversity?
• What is a biodiversity hotspot?
• Describe one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots and explain
why it is designated as a hotspot (two or more groups must
choose a different hotspot)
Students will present a discussion (in small groups of three
or four students) on an assigned biodiversity topic that contains
between 16 to 20 slides (8 to 10 picture slides and 8 to 10 text
slides). They will present the slide show to the class. Each group will
have seven minutes to present their slide show. Group members
must share the task of describing slides to the class—each member
must describe at least three slides to the class. For each text-image
slide pair, students should read the text, show the image, and
explain why the group chose that image.

compounds that benefit and harm humans and the en-
vironment.
Role You can either be a/an:

1. web designer
2. songwriter/singer
3. environmentalist
Situation There are reports that hydrocarbon derivatives are very

hazardous to one’s health. A group of anti-hydrocarbon
wants to ban all substances that are derived from hydro-
carbons. You were asked by the Department of Science
and Technology (DOST) to do an information drive and
help them explain to the public the significance of hy-
drocarbons amidst their harmful effects.
Product/ 1. Product 1 (Web Designer)

Performance A webpage, blog, or Facebook fan page that
will inform web visitors about three different hy-
drocarbons, their benefits and risks. There should
be notes, images, and a space for frequently asked
questions. It must also be interactive where visitors
can pose comments, questions, and suggestions.
2. Product 2 (Songwriter)
A 2- to 3-minute song with lyrics that reflect
the understanding that hydrocarbon derivatives
are all around us. There should be at least three dif-
ferent hydrocarbons in the song. The song must be
recorded and will be uploaded in the DOST website/
web designer’s page. It should have a title and must
be accompanied by at least one musical instrument.
76
3. Product 3 (Environmentalist)
An open letter to the public that will discuss
the need for hydrocarbon derivatives in the fields
of medicine, cosmetics, and food industry. It should
justify the use of hydrocarbon derivatives and pre-
sent safety precautions to reduce their hazards. The
open letter will be uploaded in the DOST website or
web designer’s page. The letter should be 300–500
words only.

Discussion Discussion
The motion of an object is in
the direction of the applied
force.
A stationary object is in a
natural state and does not
have force.
Motion is proportional to the
force acting and a constant
speed results from a constant
force.
Moving objects come to a
stop due to no friction.
There is no motion without
force, and without motion,
force does not exists also.

In one of your class discussions, your professor men-

tioned that Art and Physics do intertwine. He gave an
example of commercially available merchandizes that ca-
tered to the odd humor of people in the science commu-
nity. There is the poet Allen Ginsberg who wrote a parody
of the laws of thermodynamics and Sir Charles Percy Snow,
who wrote an aphorism about Shakespeare and the sec-
ond law of thermodynamics and whose plain restatements
Situation of these laws have come to include a more general adage
about life.
To veer away from a heavy discussion of physics con-
cepts, the professor asked your class to relate a specific
branch of physics called thermodynamics and how this
branch is used as a theme by artists and writers to relieve
them of the seriousness of creating their masterpieces. You
have been asked to lay credence to the claim that humani-
ties and thermodynamics do mix.

11. 20 Questions: Electrical Safety Questions

Have the students answer the following questions about key
safety principles that will serve as review of basic electrical safety
information.
1. What is electricity a form of? (Energy.)
2. What does electricity travel on to get from the power plant to
people’s houses? (Overhead and underground power lines.)
3. What other equipment is involved in getting electricity to
where it can be used by people? (Some or all of the following
are correct: substations, pole-mounted and pad-mounted
transformers, service drops, meter boxes, electrical wiring, and
appliance cords.)
4. How fast does electricity travel? (At the speed of light, 186,000
miles per second.)
5. Could you move faster than electricity? (No!)
6. List some good conductors of electricity. (Metal, water)
7. Is the human body a good conductor of electricity? Why/why
not? (Yes, because it is mostly water.)
152
8. What will happen if electricity travels through you? (You will be
shocked and could be badly hurt or even killed.)
9. List some good insulators. (Special rubber, glass.)
10. Why are insulators important? (They keep electricity from leaving
wires.)
11. What would happen if a power line were to fall from the power
pole to the ground? (It would energize the area around it with
a lot of electricity and people touching the line or coming near it
would be hurt or killed.)
12. If you overload an outlet by plugging in too many things, what
can happen? (Cord insulation can overheat and melt, causing a
shock and fire hazard.)
13. Why are people good conductors of electricity? (Our bodies are
mostly water, and water conducts electricity.)
14. Do you have to be touching the ground directly to conduct
electricity? (No, you could be touching something that is touching
the ground, like a ladder.)
15. Why should you never touch anything electrical while you
have wet hands or while standing in water? (Water conducts
electricity and you could be shocked.)
16. What is the purpose of rubber or plastic insulation around
appliance cords? (It keeps the electricity in the wires and prevents
you from getting a shock.)
17. If a person is shocked, what can happen? (Muscle spasms,
weakness, rapid pulse, severe burns, unconsciousness, or death.)
18. Why can birds sit on power lines without being shocked? (The
birds do not touch the ground or anything in contact with the
ground.)
19. Why could a kite caught in a power line be dangerous to try to
retrieve? (If you touch the kite while you are in contact with the
ground or anything touching the ground, like a ladder, electricity
will travel from the power lines down the kite and into you, and
you will be shocked.)

even when antibodies a and b are added to it.
• Blood type AB person has antigens A and B that will react with antibodies a and b causing
the blood to coagulate or agglutinate.
The normal pulse rate is 75 to 80 times per minute at rest. Any strenuous activity such as jumping
can increase the pulse rate. Resting can help normalize pulse rate.
1. The first sound is the LUB sound produced by the contraction of the ventricles. Lub sound is
lower in pitch and longer in duration.
2. The second sound is the DUB sound produced by the relaxation of the ventricles. It is higher
in pitch and shorter in duration than the first (lub) sound.
160
3. The contraction or systole is shorter than the relaxation or the diastole. So diastole
immediately follows systole and it takes a longer period for systole to follow diastole.
4. The average systole is obtained by adding all systole counts and dividing it by 5. This is the
number of times the heart contracts in one minute.
5. The average diastole is obtained by adding all diastole counts and dividing it by 5. This is the
number of times the heart relaxes in one minute.

B. The man inherited the trait from his mother. Having beard is a trait carried by the autosomes
so both the mother and the father carry the trait. The trait manifested in the son because its
development is influenced by the male hormone testosterone, which is present in the son at
higher levels as compared to his mother.
1. Each species of living organisms has a characteristic number of chromosomes. Chromosomes
are paired according to shape and numbered according to size. They show distinctive patterns of
bright and dark bands. A constriction, called the centromere is found at its center and this divides
the chromosomes into two ‘arms’: a long arm and a short arm.

III. Observation and Analysis of Data
1. Set up A (Hydrilla): The water did not change in color.
Set up B (Hydrilla and Snail): The water turns light blue.
Set up C (Snail): The water turns yellowish.
Set up D (No organisms): The water did not change in color
2. In set up C.
3. The presence of carbon dioxide causes the change in the color of the water.
4. Respiration is the cellular process. The gas released is carbon dioxide.
5. In set ups A and B.
6. The color of the water did not change because carbon dioxide is not present in the water.
7. Photosynthesis.
8. Set up C and D are the control set ups.
IV. Conclusion
In set up A both organisms (Hydrilla and snail) release carbon dioxide during respiration.
But the change in color did not happen because hydrilla took in carbon dioxide and used it in
making food. In set up C the snail released carbon dioxide when it respires. Since there is no plant
to absorb carbon dioxide, it remains in the water causing the change of water to yellowish color.
The presence of carbon dioxide causes in the change in the color of bromthymol blue.

Answers:
1. Photosynthesis
2. Oxygen
3. Carbon dioxide
4. Plants or producers
5. Animals or consumers
Set up A: the light was put off.
182
Set up B: the candle remains lighted.
Think This Over: During the day, the plants are releasing oxygen as they photosynthesize.
IV. Results and Observations
1. Test tube A turns green in color. Test tube B turns yellow in color.
2. a. Test tube A: Chlorophyll pigments
b. Test tube B: Carotenoid pigments
3. They function as the extracting media.
4. Water bath is used if flammable substances like ethyl alcohol need to be heated. Also, using
water bath provides gradual heating than using direct flame.
V. Conclusion
1. The leaves are composed of various pigments most of which are chlorophyll and carotenoid
pigments.
2. Pigments can be extracted from the leaves using different extracting media like ethyl alcohol
and carbon tetrachloride.
V. Results and Observations
1. The leaves in set up A (exposed to light) changed to color blue indicating the presence of
starch.
2. The leaves in set up B (covered with black cloth) did not change in color indicating that
starch is not present.
3. Photosynthesis had taken place in set up as evidenced by the change in the color of the
leaf to blue. Change in color of a material to blue or black when Lugol’s solution is added
indicates the presence of starch.
VI. Conclusion
No, photosynthesis cannot take place in the absence of light. Light is important in the
formation of ATP molecule that will supply the dark reaction with the chemical energy it needs
in the synthesis of starch.

1. The reactants of photosynthesis are the products of respiration.
2. The reactants of cellular respiration are the products of photosynthesis.
3. The source of energy for photosynthesis is light transformed into chemical energy held by
the molecules of ATP and NADPH. The source of energy for photosynthesis is ATP.
Think This Over: Photosynthesis is responsible in transforming light energy into chemical energy held
by molecules of ATP. Respiration transforms the chemical energy of food into chemical energy held
by ATP molecules that is readily usable in doing work.

Answer:
Photosynthesis Respiration

Reactants involved glucose
Reactants involved carbon molecules
dioxide and water Both Products are carbon dioxide and
provides water
Product is glucose molecule

Involves the transformation of activities chemical energy of glucose (food)
light energy to chemical energy to chemical energy of ATP
of ATP to chemical energy of
glucose (food)
1. Autotrophs can make their own food. They harness energy from the sun and transform it into a
form that can be used by other living things in the process of eating and being eaten. This is the
reason why they occupy the first trophic level of all food chains in an ecosystem.
2. Light is captured by the chlorophyll molecules present in the cells of plants and other producers
and use it in synthesizing high energy compounds that can be used by all living things to power
various life activities.
3. Chlorophyll molecules are the green-light trapping pigments. These pigments together with
some chemical substances are organized into functional units called photosystems. Photosystems
absorb light and facilitate its transformation into high-energy molecules called ATP and NADPH.
186
4. Note: refer to the table comparing photoynthesis and cellular respiration (Process What You
Know, number 3).
5. As plants make food using energy from the sun, carbon dioxide is taken in as raw material. Oxygen
is released as by-product of photosynthesis. Oxygen is taken in by all living things and uses it in
cellular respiration with the accompanying release of carbon dioxide. Thus, photosynthesis and
cellular respiration are the two key processes involved in the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle.
6. Chemical reactions happen in the presence of catalysts. Enzymes are organic catalysts that
hasten or slow down chemical reactions. One important attribute of enzymes is that they are nor
used up or consumed during chemical reactions.
7. The transformation of glucose to a high-yielding compound like ATP is a chemical reaction
that can happen through the transfer of electrons. As electrons are removed from a chemical
substance, such substance that donated the electron is said to be oxidized. An oxidized molecule
loses energy. If an electron is received by another substance, such substance that received the
electron is said to be reduced. A reduced molecule gains energy. Thus, in the process of cellular
respiration, a lot of molecules are always oxidized and reduced in order to generate ATP.
8. ATP production is limited in the first three stages of cellular respiration because oxygen is not a
part of the three processes. Oxygen is important in building ahigh hydrogen ion concentration
gradient that will yield large amounts of ATP molecules.
9. Fermentation involves only glycolysis in generating ATP. Oxygen that is important in generating
large amount of ATP is lacking in the process of fermentation.
1. Create a pamphlet containing the following:
a. The sun as the ultimate source of energy
b. The significance of eating food
c. The relation and significance of autotrophs and heterotrophs
d. The relation and significance of photosynthesis and cellular respiration
2. Research on how cells derive and utilize energy from protein and amino acid.

1. Atoms enter into chemical bonding for them to attain the noble gas configuration and
become stable.
2. Ionic bond is a bond a metal and a non-metal while a covalent bond is a bond between two
non-metals.
3. Elements in Group 4A do not form ionic bonds because they are non-metals with 4 valence
electrons. They are most likely will form a covalent bond with other atoms rather than ionic.
4. The Octet Rule states that atoms with low atomic number must combine with other atoms to
attain a configuration similar to noble gases which have 8 valence electrons. The maximum
number of valence electron that an atom should have is eight. However, it may be violated
due to some reasons like when there are few or too many valence electrons and when there
is odd number of valence electrons.
5. VSEPR stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. It is used to determine the molecule’s
general geometry which would help us realize how the atoms look like as they bond with
one another. This also gives emphasis on how the electronic repulsions happen and how the
atoms move as they repel, thus giving the shape.

1. Compare and contrast the following:
a. Saturated and Unsaturated
Saturated compounds are chemical compounds that have chain of carbon atoms
linked together by single bonds and have hydrogen atoms filling all of the other bonding
orbital of the carbon atoms. Alkanes are an example of saturated compounds. Unsaturated
compounds are chemical compounds that contain carbon-carbon double bonds or triple
bonds such as those found in alkenes or alkynes, respectively.
b. Alkane and Alkene
Alkanes have only single bonds between carbon atoms and are said to be saturated.
They are formed by the following formula CnH2n+2 and all alkane names end in -ane. Alkenes
have one or more double bond(s) between carbon atoms and are unsaturated. Alkenes can
consist of single covalent bonds but must have at least one double bond between carbon
atoms. They are formed with the following formula CnH2n and all of them end in -ene.
c. Amide and Amine
An amine is a NH2 group connected to a carbon atom or chain of carbon atoms.
It can be described as a primary amine C-NH2, secondary C-NH-C or tertiary, (C)3-N.
An amide is an amine and carbonyl group combination. C-CO-NH-R. The R may be either a
proton, or another C functional group.
2. Carbon has four valence electrons, enabling it to form covalent bonds with multiple atoms that
have free valence electrons. This allows carbon to be capable of forming chains, because of its
ability to covalent bond with many atoms.
3. Isomers are organic compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and,
therefore, different properties.
4. Functional groups are group of atoms within a molecule that is responsible for certain properties
of the molecule and reactions in which it takes part. The concept of functional groups is both as
a means to classify structures and for predicting properties. A functional group is a molecular
module, and the reactivity of that functional group is assumed, within limits, to be the same in a
variety of molecules.
Functional groups can have decisive influence on the chemical and physical properties of
organic compounds. Molecules are classified on the basis of their functional groups.
5. Hydrocarbons are toxic and carcinogenic to humans when they are vaporize in car engines
and pollute the atmosphere. Also, when they are in the atmosphere they react with nitrogen
oxides, oxygen and water vapour if they come into contact with sunlight. They create ozone in
this reaction. When ozone is in the troposphere (a lower layer of the atmosphere) in very high
concentrations, it is toxic to humans and attacks the lung tissue. Ozone in the troposphere (rather
than the insulating layer in the stratosphere) acts as a green house gas, causing global warming.

2. For protection from benzene exposure, the following are recommended:
• wear suitable personal protective equipment including approved respiratory protection
• wear chemical safety goggles; face shield may also be necessary, contact lenses should
not be worn when working with benzene.
201
• avoid skin contact with benzene; wear solvent-resistant gloves and clothing
• remove contaminated clothing promptly and keep them in closed containers
• do not smoke, eat or drink in work areas

1. hydrocarbons
2. CH4
3. olefins
4. CnH2n-2
5. benzene
1. Organic compounds are those that contain carbon, thus, a carbon monoxide is considered
as organic compound. (inorganic)
2. True
3. True
4. Alkane is a saturated hydrocarbon containing a double-bond. (single-bond)
5. True
1. One should limit exposure to benzene because it is toxic. Exposure to it can cause serious
health effects.
2. Carbon is considered as the most essential since it is the main component of organic
compounds and the basic component of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, protein,
nucleic acids,and lipids to which our lives depend on.

VI. Conclusion
I therefore conclude that mole is an important counting unit for substances and that it plays
a vital role in the relationship among a number of chemical quantities.
Students’ answer for numbers 1–4 may vary. For the remaining items, please see below:
5. From the activity, we can calculate the molar mass by subtracting the mass of the bag with
the mass of an empty bag. The molar mass of elements is found by looking at the atomic mass
of the element on the periodic table expressed in grams per mole. Molar masses of chemical
compounds are equal to the sums of the molar masses of all the atoms in one molecule of that
compound.
6. One mole a substance is represented by each bag in the activity. One mole of a pure substance
has a mass equal to its molecular mass expressed in grams.
7. The mass will also increase.
8. Comparing the amounts of one substance to another is easily done using moles. When substances
react, they do so in simple ratios of moles. However, balances give readings in grams.
Practice Exercises
1. a. The mass of the iron(III) oxide that must be used to provide 15 g of Fe is 35.75g.
a. The mass of Al required to produce 15 g of Fe is 12.06 g.
b. The maximum mass of aluminum oxide that could be produced is equal to 22.84g.
2. Sample = substance x molar mass of the substance
0.100 mol x 24.3 g/mol = 2.43 g of Mg
3. Number of moles of iron = 0.00623 moles Fe
Mass of Fe = 0.348 g Fe

5. Percentage composition describes the proportions of different elements in a compound
considering their respective masses. From the given masses of each element, percentage
composition can be calculated.
Practice Exercises
1. Calculate the percentage composition of each element in a sulfuric acid, H2SO4.
2 x H = 2 x 1 = 2 1 x S = 1 x 32 = 32 4 x O = 4 x 16 = 64
Molecular mass: 98 g/mol
H = 2/98 x 100% = 2.04%
S = 32/98 x 100% = 32.65%
O = 64/98 x 100% = 65.31%
2. Arrange the following formulas in increasing percentage of sulfur:

a. CaSO4S = 23.55 %
b. SO2 S = 50.00 %
c. H2S S = 94.10%
Therefore, the arrangement should be CaSO4, SO2, H2S.
Practice Exercises
1. The empirical formula of the compound is P2O5.
2. First, find the percentage composition of each element.
C = 0.624 g/1.261 g = 49.48%
H = 0.065 g/1.261 g = 5.15%
N = 0.364 g/1.261 g = 28.87%
O = 0.208 g/1.261g = 16.49%
C: 49.48 g / 12.0 g/mole = 4.12 moles C
H: 5.15 g / 1.00 g/mole = 5.15 moles H
N: 28.87 g / 14.0 g/mole = 2.06 moles N
O: 16.49 g / 16.0 g/mole = 1.03 moles O
Dividing by the smallest (1.03) we get:
C-4
H-5
N-2
O-1
Therefore, the empirical formula of caffeine is C4H5N2O.
Practice Exercises
1. Given: 40.0 grams C x 1 mole / 12.01 g C = 3.33 moles C
6.7 grams H x 1 mole / 1.008 g H = 6.65 moles H
53.3 grams O x 1 mole / 15.99 g O = 3.33 moles O
204
Dividing by the smallest (3.33) we get
C=1
H=2
O=1
The empirical formula is C1H2O1.
Calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula.
C: 1 x 12.01 = 12.01
H: 2 x 1.008 = 2.016
O: 1 x 15.00 = 15.99
30.02 g/mol
Molecular weight/empirical weight
180 / 30.02 = 6
6(C1 H2 O1) = C6 H12 O6
Therefore, C6 H12 O6 is the molecular formula for glucose.

used to convert grams of a substance to moles. Given the mass of a substance, one can
calculate the number of moles in the substance by multiplying the number of moles with
the Avogadro’s number of 6.02 x 1023.
2. Empirical formula contains the smallest possible ratio of elements while molecular formula
is the actual ratio of the elements.
3. The mole unit is important because it provides a bridge when we do conversion on the
mass of one substance and the mass of another substance. Without an understanding of
the mole, one cannot understand molarity, the ideal gas law, equilibrium, stoichiometry, and
other chemistry calculations.
4. Yes. From percentage composition, one can calculate the empirical formula in which the
molecular is based. To solve for the molecular, divide the given molecular weight to the
empirical weight.

B. Suggested answers:
1. Data reveal that the volcanic eruptions vary depending on the kind of substances used.
Graphs will depend on the data gathered by the students.
208
2. The types of substances used in simulating a volcanic eruption affects the magnitude
of the activity. Using different ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice and hydrogen
peroxide, it can be inferred that the acidity and the alkalinity of the substances involved
affect the magnitude of the eruption.
3. The chemical reaction that occurs in the experiment takes place when an acid is mixed
with an alkali. When baking soda combined with vinegar, the hydrogen ions in vinegar
react with bicarbonate ions from baking soda (acid-base reaction). Once the two
substances mixed, the resulting carbonic acid decomposes into carbon dioxide and
water (decomposition reaction). The carbon dioxide gas is what causes the formation
of bubbles and foam that are erupted from the mouth of volcano model. The exact
reaction is given below:
HC2H3O2 (vinegar = acetic acid) + NaHCO3 (baking soda = sodium bicarbonate) = CO2
(carbon dioxide gas) +
NaC2H3O2 (sodium acetate) + H2O (water)
4. From the previous activity, the dough represents the land or the outer part of the
volcano that is located at the earth’s crust. The bottle may represent both the magma
chamber that contains a pool of liquid rock beneath the Earth’s crust and the volcano’s
conduit, a channel or pipe conveying liquid materials such as magma.
V. Conclusion
A volcano is a mountain that allows magma, ashes and gases to flow out from the core. Volcanic
eruptions are caused by magma expelled into the Earth’s surface. Magma contains dissolved
substances such as water, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. Generally, magmas that are generated
within the Earth rises because they are less dense than the surrounding solid rocks. The resistance to
flow (viscosity) of the magma affects the eruption of a volcano. Explosive eruptions are favored by
high gas content and high viscosity.
NAVIGATE
Q and A
Guide answers:
• Volcanic eruption occurrs when magma from the magma chamber rises up to the pipe and is
expelled out of the vent. This phenomenon is affected by the buoyancy and pressure of the gas
within the earth’s crust. If the density of the magma between the zone of its generation and the
surface is less than that of the surrounding rocks, the magma then rises and erupts.
• Volcanoes are formed when hot materials from below rises and leaks into the crust. During
eruption, seismic activities occur along with expulsion of solid, liquid and gas (pyroclastic)
materials into the atmosphere. Formation of volcano can be explained using two methods-
formation by subduction and formation by distension.
• There are many factors that control the size and shape of a volcano. Some of which are the
following: volume and composition of volcanic products, interval of length between eruption,
geometry of the vent and the environment into which the volcanic products are erupted.
• No. Scientists could not really predict the exact time of volcanic explosion. The eruptive behaviour
of any volcano changes at any time. Hence, scientists could only give warning signals on the
probability of volcanic eruption (within a week or a month) depending on the monitored seismic
activities recorded using instruments like seismometers, tiltmeter, GPS and others.
• The lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth that floats in a soft jelly-like layer called the
asthenosphere. Convection currents are believed to be the main driving force of plate movements.
Convection is a circulation pattern driven by the rising of hot material and/ or the sinking of cold
materials.
209
• There are several proofs to support the existence of a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Some
of which are the presence of fossils (mesosaurus and Glossopteris) that are found in different
continents, the continuation of landforms, glacial, coal and rock deposits. In a very simple way,
try to play a jigsaw puzzle using the map of the world and find out how each continent fits to
produce a single continent!
• Plate boundaries are classified according to their movement: divergent, convergent and
transform
• The Pacific Ring of Fire in a zone that stretches from New Zealand, along the eastern edge of
Asia, north across the Aleutian Islands of Alaska and south along the coast of North and South
America. It is composed of over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes and records an
intense seismic and volcanic activities.
• A volcano is typically a cone-shaped hill or mountain formed when two tectonic plates in the
Earth’s crust move and magma from deep within move upwards. Volcanoes are the products of
the extrusion of lava or ejection of rock fragments from a vent.
• Characteristics and behavior of volcanoes
Name Other name Characteristics/Behavior

Cinder cone scoria cone simplest type of volcano that tends to be very much smaller than shield
volcanoes life span of an active cinder cone tends to be short most can
be found in western North America and along other volcanic terrains of
the planet
Composite stratovolcano its conduit system contains a central or clustered group of vents larger
than a cinder cone and primarily composed of andesite, tephra and
volcanic ash its slopes are symmetrical, intermediate in steepness
compared with cinder cones and shield volcanoes compared to a cinder
cone, composite volcano is built over longs spans of time and is erosion
resistant hence can grow large in size.
shield slopes of shield volcanoes are usually between 2o and 10o from the
horizontal producing a flattened dome or shield above the crust
eruptions of this type are relatively nonviolent some of the largest
volcanoes in the world are listed under this type
Volcanic Lava dome rounded, steep-sided mound lava coming from this type is too viscous to
dome flow from the vent hence lava piles over and around the vent associated
with non-explosive eruptions
Super it can eject magma and other materials up to a volume greater than
volcanoes 1,000km3 explosive eruptions accompanied by huge clouds and dense
pyroclastic materials
Submarine created when magma erupts in the underwater fissures of the earth
volcanoes submarine volcanoes hardly grow in size
Subglacial glaciovolcano created by eruptions beneath the surface of a glacier
volcano cause jokulhlaups or great of floods of water
• Volcanoes vary in appearance and eruption due to the differences in the volcanic materials,
interval of length between eruption, geometry of the vent and the environment where the
volcano is located or the volcanic products are erupted.
• As its name implies, the super volcanoes are the most threatening type. It is in fact predicted that
a super volcano could trigger global freeze as when it erupts, it could throw cubic kilometres of
rock, ash, sulphur dioxide and other into the atmosphere reflecting incoming radiation which
eventually leads to the forced down temperature on the Earth’s surface.
210
• Plinian and subplinian. These type of eruption are characterized by a column of gas and volcanic
ash, highly evolved magma due to dormancy. In June 1991, one of the largest plinian eruptions
in the century was recorded when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines (country that is included in
the Ring of Fire) erupted releasing megatons of sulphur dioxide and a high column off gas and
volcanic ash into the stratosphere.
• Despite their threat to mankind and other species on Earth, there are some benefits that can be
gained from volcanic activities. Volcanoes produce valuables resources such as sulphur, copper,
titanium and gold among other through various process related to their formation and eruption.
As lava is really good for plant growth after it hardens, volcanoes enrich the soil for farming
and provide for reservoir for the storage of groundwater. Geothermal power is also harnessed
nowadays as an alternate energy source which is eco-friendly, cheap and readily available.
Volcanic activities may also form islands as in the case of Hawaii.

It recorded 26 historical eruptions latest
of which happened in June-July 2006.
It recorded various eruption types
such as phreatic (1985,1992, 1993),

2. The three primary geologic forces that continually alter the planet’s surface are diastrophism,
erosion and volcanism.
3. Volcanoes are classified based on their shape, materials they are made of and the way they erupt.
Not all volcanic eruptions are the same. In fact, a particular volcano, Mt Vesuvius for instance,
exhibits different behaviour in every eruption in its lifetime (79 AD - 1944, major eruptions). This
can be attributed to various factors such as magma viscosity, temperature and gas content.
4. a. Gabbro and basalt have almost the same composition (minerals of calcic plagioclase) but
they are formed in different ways. Gabbro forms inside the Earth (intrusive) hence it has
bigger grain size while basalt came to the surface of the Earth through a volcano or ridge
(extrusive) and because it cools quickly, its crystal has smaller grain size.
b. Andesite and dacite are both volcanic rocks and consist mostly of plagioclase feldspar.
Dacite composition is more silicate as a percentage of total.
c. Pegmatite is an intrusive igneous rock. Similarly, plutonic rocks are formed underground and
involve the intrusion of magma between other rocks which then cools below the surface.
Pegmatite is actually a plutonic rock with exceptionally large crystals.
d. Tuff and scoria are both volcanic rocks. Their main difference can be described in terms of
texture, color, and origin. Tuff is a soft white and tan rock that used to be an ash while scoria
is a rough, bumpy red rock that used to be the bubbles in the lava.
e. Although both obsidian and pyroxenite are dark in color, they differ in their formation.
Obsidian is a naturally occurring glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock while pyroxenite
is a granular intrusive igneous rock

1. How do different types of volcanoes vary in appearance and eruption? Which among them poses
the greatest threat to mankind?
Volcanoes vary in appearance and eruption due to the differences in the volcanic
materials , interval of length between eruption, geometry of the vent and the environment
where the volcano is located or the volcanic products are erupted.
213
As its name implies, the supervolcanoes are the most threatening type. It is in fact
predicted that a supervolcano could trigger global freeze as when it erupts, it could throw cubic
kilometres of rock, ash, sulphur dioxide and other into the atmosphere reflecting incoming
radiation which eventually leads to the forced down temperature on the Earth’s surface.
2. Assuming that you are in a community that is located near an active volcano,
a. Enumerate some indicators that volcanic activities will occur in your place.
 Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling sounds; occurrence of

b. Cite precautionary measures to lessen the impacts of the phenomenon.
Follow / Observe the Do’s and Dont’s prior, during and after volcanic eruption.
3. Make a comprehensive research on the sulfur mining in East Java Indonesia. Make a stand
through active participation in a debate themed “To Mine or Not to Mine.”
Sulfur (Sulphur) is an element that is used to vulcanize rubber bleach sugar, make matches
and fertilizers. It occurs naturally as itself ( native sulphur) or as sulfide and sulphate mineral.
Sulfur can be found near hot springs and volcanic regions especially along the Ring of Fire.
Indonesia, Chile and Japan are some of the countries known for mining such volcanic deposits.
Sulfur mining in East Java Indonesia is a controversial issue among its locals and in the
global community as well. With the pictures and videos taken while the miners do their job at
the flow crater of the Ijen volcano, the call to stop the practice was raised by many concerned
parties. Some of the issues raised are the following:
Health Issue: Exposure to the element and other gases ejected by the volcano leaves the
sulphur miners with poisoned lungs, scars and burns. Hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide
can dissolve teeth, how much effect do these compounds have to the other parts of the body?
Safety Issue: Miners wears no protective gear except a damp cloth to cover their mouth and
nose. As recorded, in the past 40 years, 74 miners died after being overpowered by fumes that
suddenly swirled from fissured in the rock.
Lack of Equipment: The job is being done manually. Miner hack chunks off with steel bars , load
up their baskets twice as their weights 45 to 90kg (100 - 200 lbs) and take a 200meter climb
back up out of the crater.
214
Low Compensation. At the end of two to three trips in a day, miners take home approximately
Rp50,000 ($5.00.)
At the end of the debate, the students should be able to realize that mining is a practice that
can be allowed if the resources are abundant, the workers are safe, well compensated and are
treated humanely and the health environment ( present and future) is not compromised.

This not included in the discussion but this is a research work that would check the
understanding of the students on environmental concerns related to volcanoes).
4. What type of volcanic eruption is mostly observed in the Philippines? Why is that so?
Plinian and subplinian. These type of eruption are characterized by a column of gas and
volcanic ash, highly evolved magma due to dormancy. In June 1991, one of the largest plinian
eruptions in the century was recorded when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines ( included in the
Ring of Fire) erupted releasing megatons of sulphur dioxide and a high column off gas and
volcanic ash into the stratosphere.

3. Below is a sample profile of a volcanic eruption with which the students could benchmark for
further research and dramatization.
Mt. Pelee, West Indies
April 25 - May 8, 1902
Death Toll: 40,000
Thought to be a dormant volcano, Mt. Pelee showed first sign of change in February 1902
when strong odors of sulphur were noticed in the village of Precheur and in Fond Core. On April
24, a plume of black smoke rose from the Etang Sec crater. The next day, blanket of ash fell on
Precheur. Lake had formed in the crater with volcanic debris and boiling water. On April 28,
ground rumblings and vapour column rose. Several rivers became flooded and pyroclastic debris
started to flow down the mountain towards St. Pierre. On May 2, Mt. Pelee produced earthquakes
every six hours. Loud noises were heard and a large pillar of black smoke and a blanket of ash
spread across the northern part of Martinique. Three days after, the rim gave away on the crater
and boiling water rushed down Riviere Blanche. Lahar was produced which travelled at a speed
of 50mph and spawned a 9foot tsunami which flooded the waterfront area of St. Pierre.
On May 8 at 7:50 am, the primary eruption completely destroyed the city of St. Pierre,
killing 25,000. A massive black cloud consisting of ash rock and hot gas rushed down the slope
at the speed of 100mph. Pyroclastic flows completely destroyed St. Pierre within minutes of
the eruption, then bonfires and explosion followed that were brought about by extreme heat.
Extending its effects to the bodies of water, at least twenty ships in the harbor were capsized due
to the force of the wind or caught fire from the sizzling heat.

1. Sometimes called basalt plateau, a lava plateau is formed neither by the collision of
continental lift nor by uplift. Instead, this feature is created over millions of years by the
repeated ejection or pouring out of low-viscosity lava that reached the surface through
fissures or along narrow cracks in the ground. The lava that builds up to create a plateaus is
composed of basalt. As it solidifies, it forms deposits thousands of feet in depth.
2. All of the above mentioned features are composed of water circulating near hot magma
chamber. However, their formation differ due to some factors like their locations, volcano
type among others. Hot springs are produced when geothermally heated groundwater rise
to the surface. These features are found in almost every volcano. Meanwhile, A geyser is a
spring characterized by intermittent discharge of water ejected forcefully accompanied by
a vapor phase. Unlike hot springs, geysers exists in particular places on Earth hence they are
rare phenomenon.
219
Earthquakes tend to occur along faults or narrow zones. They may occur in area before,
during and after a volcanic eruption. Earthquakes are definitely now the cause of result of
volcanic activity but rather are the result of active forces related to volcanic eruption.
1. Sample output
UNIT IX Climate
Loop
1. Water droplets were formed on the outside part of the glass.
2. Due to the difference in temperature of the water inside the glass and the air in the
atmosphere, condensation occurred as demonstrated by the formation of water droplets
(dew) in the surface of the glass.
3. Water on the outside of the class also called condensate, came from the water vapour
present in the air. Water vapour naturally condenses on cold surfaces into liquid when
the temperature of that surface is cooler than the temperature of the water vapor. With
the addition of ice cubes, the temperature of water inside the glass dramatically dropped
allowing condensation to occur.
4. The higher the difference in temperature of the glass of water and the air, the more amount
of water will condense on the glass’ surface.
220
IV. Results and Observations
A. The temperature in set up A may vary between 23–30°C. On the other hand, the temperature in
set up B may vary between 23–27°C.
Note: It has to be expected that tank A will record a higher temperature compared to tank B.
B. 1. The temperature increases.

2. The vinegar and baking soda served as the source of carbon dioxide and water. When baking
soda is mixed with vinegar, two reactions took place, an acid- base reaction followed by a
decomposition reaction. Hydrogen ions (H+) from the vinegar react with the bicarbonate
ions (HCO3- ) from the baking soda and form a new compound called carbonic acid (H2CO3).
This new compound then immediately decomposes into carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water
(H2O).Iron fillings on the other hand
3. There will be higher temperature if there is an increased of reactants in the set up.
4. The lighted match eventually died out. As carbon dioxide is denser than the air, it persisted
on the tank for some time which caused the match to die out.
5. Carbon dioxide and water vapor
6. Based on the results, it can be stated that the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere causes the stronger effect of greenhouse to the Earth. As more heat is trapped
near the planet, its temperature increases. The reverse happens when carbon dioxide is
lessened in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse effect is the natural warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. This effect is
important for our survival for without it, the temperature on the planet will be -19ºC on an
average.
Solar radiation enters the atmosphere in the form of light. Some of the radiation is
absorbed by the Earth’s surface then changed to heat that is re-radiated into the atmosphere
and absorbed by the greenhouse gases and re-radiate it back to the Earth again.
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, CFCs
trap the heat coming from the sun and re-radiate it back to the Earth again causing the
increase in global temperature. As such, excessive amount of these gases will result to a
much higher temperature in the planet.

B. Constructed Response
1. What are the factors that determine what a particular climate will be like?
Climate is affected by different factors namely latitude, ocean current, wind, elevation,
relief and near water. The combination of these factors determines the distinct characteristics
of a region’s climatic condition.
2. How does the tilt of the earth affect the seasons and Earth’s climate?
The Earth is tilted at about 23.5 degrees relative
to a line perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.
This tilt reacts with our distance to the sun giving
the parts of the Earth their seasons and climates. For
instance, in June, the planet will be tilted towards the
sun in the northern hemisphere. As a result, there
will be a warmer weather as more direct rays of solar
radiation will be received during the summer. On
the other hand, at the same period in the southern
hemisphere, winter is experienced as the Earth is
titled away from the sun.
3. How does the sun’s energy cause winds and hurricanes?
Both are dependent on the energy coming from the sun. Wind is caused by the air
flowing from high pressure to low pressure. This event will not take place if there is an even
distribution of sun’s energy in the entire place. Same is true with the hurricanes. Water vapor
is the fuel for the hurricanes because it releases the latent heat of condensation . When
hurricanes move over cooler waters ( less solar energy), they gradually die because they
lose the heat energy necessary to evaporate sufficient water vapour into the atmosphere.
Opposite happens when hurricanes move over warmer water.
4. How does an ocean affect the weather and climate of adjacent land?
More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. Oceans play a major
role in moderating the weather and climate in a region. Ocean water and currents affect
climate as it has greater thermal inertial compared to land or air. As a result, inland climates
are subject to more extreme temperature ranges than coastal climates which are insulated
by nearby water.
5. Why are tundra and taiga found ONLY in the Northern Hemisphere?
Taiga and tundra are found only in the northern hemisphere because there is no
sufficient land mass in the southern hemisphere to create either of the two biomes.

6. For the students photo essay, their answers may vary.
7. The following diagram presents the convection currents during daytime and nighttime).
Students should emphasize that convection
occurs when there is an unequal heating of air over
land and water. Land is warmer during the day hence
air above it rises and a cool breeze blows in from the
sea. During the night, the land cools off, air pressure
over it increases and a cool land breeze blows out to
the sea.
There is a large difference between daytime and
nighttime temperature in tropical deserts because
the sand has lower thermal inertia hence extreme
temperature is experienced in these areas.
8. The students should provide the correct process illustration and they should briefly discuss
the three stages, namely cumulus, mature, and dissipating.
9. The following are some of the national costumes in the world. It has to be emphasized that
location of the country in the globe influences the way people dress and also the types of
biodiversity that can be found in that country.
224
Sample Presentation
Country: Philippines
National Costume Barong Tagalog (Male); Baro at Saya
(Female)
Climate: Tropical Season: Dry and Wet
Average Temperature: 26.6 oC (79.9 ºF)
Important Facts:
• Philippines is an agricultural country in the Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean.
• It is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire hence it is a home for active and deadly volcanoes
like Mayon and Pinatubo to name a few.
• It is prone to typhoon as reflected by an average of 20 storms and/or typhoons per year
that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
• It also has a major fault zone which explains why Philippines have been affected by 10
earthquakes with magnitude greater than 7.0 in the last 35 years.
• Despite the natural calamities that are being experienced in the country, Philippines
is considered “one of the world’s megadiverse countries in the world”. This can be
attributed to its location (surrounded by water) and its climate.
• As an agricultural country, it is known for the following products: pineapple, mango,
abaca rubber, tobacco, calamansi, peanut and sugarcane.
• More than 9,250 vascular plant species native to the Philippines are endemic.
• Over 530 bird species, 185 of which are endemic ( Philippine eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi,
second largest eagle in the world)
• 165 mammal species, 100 of which are endemic ( tamaraw, Bubalus mindorensis, a dwarf
water buffalo that can only be found on Mindoro Island)
• 280 inland fish including 9 endemic genera and more than 65 endemic species (freshwater
sardine, Sardinella tawilis, that can be found only in Taal lake)
10. Sample graphic organizer:

1. What is the driest desert on Earth: the Sahara, the Kalahari, or the Atacama? Justify your answer.
The Atacama is known as the driest place in the world. This can be justified by citing come
factors such as the amount of rainfall in the three deserts.
• Atacama – average of less than 0.004 inch/0.01cm of rain per year
• Sahara – half of the desert receives 0.79 in/2cm per year while the rest receives up to 3.9
in/10 cm in a year
• Kalahari – 3-7.5 in/ 76–190 mm per year
2. How does vegetation change as altitude increases?
Along with available sunlight and water, temperature is one of the three major factors
affecting the global pattern of plant growth (vegetation). Temperature varies relative to the
altitude or latitude of the Earth as a whole. Generally, vegetation is abundant around the equator
where temperature is high.
3. Why do the ocean currents in the Pacific have
more effect on the climate of the west coast of the
United States than the Gulf Stream has on the east
coast?
This difference in the impact on the climates
of the west and east coasts of US is caused by
the thermohaline circulation in the Pacific Ocean
and Gulf Stream. As presented in the diagram,
the thermohaline circulation in the Northern
Pacific Ocean is clockwise. The trade winds
blow westward and push warm surface near
Australia and New Guinea. When this warm water
accumulates in the Pacific Ocean, cold waters are
forced to rise up from the deeper ocean just off the
west coast of South America thereby influencing
the climate of the said region. On the other hand, wind-driven current such as the Gulf Stream
travels polewards . Although it has an effect on the climate of the east coast of North America, its
greatest impact is experienced in Europe
4. What do we mean when one says “Climate change is anthropogenic related” ?. Do you agree or
disagree?
Answers may vary. The statement implies that the change in climate is caused by human
activities such as the production of greenhouse gases.
5. Where is the solar energy most concentrated? Prove your answer using concrete examples.
Due to the shape of the Earth, different parts or regions of the planet receive different
amount of solar energy. Solar energy is most concentrated at the Earth’s equator. Latitude affects
the intensity of the rays that is the higher the altitude ( away from the equator), the less is the
intensity of the sun rays. As presented in the diagram, direct rays ( also called vertical rays) occur
near the Equator giving that region the most radiant energy. Oblique rays on the other hand
spread out when they strike the poles and therefore lose some of their heat.
This difference in solar energy distribution can be supported by the hydrologic cycles in
various parts of the world. At the equator, convection current is very evident as increased solar
energy causes more water to evaporate, turns into clouds and condenses it to the Earth in the
form of rain.
226
6. How do cities alter weather and climate? How do weather and climate influence the way people
live?
Weather and climate have significant influence on the way people live. It is the weather
that guides us on what to wear each day, the type of activities that we can do and also the
places safe to visit. On a larger scale, weather and climate affect human lives in many aspects
including social, physical, ecological and economical spheres. Forn instance, weather determines
the livelihood in a particular place. If weather permits good water supply, agricultural industries
could prosper in an area.
Although the influence can be so little, the operations within a city is related to the weather
condition of a place. Gases emitted from factories, industries, automobiles are suspended in the
atmosphere. The presence of these greenhouse gases allow the temperature to increase hence
it is expected that cities are hotter compared to urban places. Rainfall are also predicted to be
experienced during weekends as temperature drops due to the reduced industrial activities at
this time of the week.

1. Make a video presentation with a theme “Tribute to Future Generation.” The said material should
reflect your thoughts on the following issues:
a. Earth, its health and stability before Industrial Revolution
b. Men, habitats of the world- destroyer or caretaker?
c. Youth, their role in mitigating the effects of climate change.
In realizing this activity, students may use various programs such as Powerpoint,
Flash etc. Their creativity and resourcefulness are expected to manifest. Use of relevant
songs is also advised.
In terms of content, the following concepts may be use as benchmark information
for each topic
a. Earth, its health and stability before Industrial Revolution
Basically, Earth is healthier and more stable in terms of its biodiversity before the
Industrial Revolution. This type of revolution is characterized by the production of
machineries thereby replacing manual labor in the said countries. Fossil fuels were used
for manufacture of textiles and other industrial processes. Industrial Revolution began
in England during 18th century and spread during the 19th century to other countries like
Germany, Northern France , United States of America and Japan. With the advent of new
technologies, natural resources were utilized in a much higher volume which resulted to
depletion of biodiversity. Climate change and other global environmental problems are also
regarded as major effects of global and local industrialization.
b. Men, habitats of the world- destroyer or caretaker?
Students are free to make a stand.
Men as destroyer of the world – students can present any or combination of the
following practices: Illegal logging/ deforestation, uncontrolled use of pesticides, emission
of greenhouse gases, mining, etc.
Men as caretaker of the world – students can identify various organizations such as
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ( government) and non-government) and even
individuals whose mission focus on raising environmental consciousness, conducting
researches and extension in order to help mitigate environmental problems at present.
227
c. Youth, their role in mitigating the effects of climate change
Students must emphasize that they play a major part in solving the problem. They can
present the accomplishment reports of various environmental organizations in the country
or in their schools and also their action plan for the succeeding years. Students can also
name student leaders who are distinguished as stewards of the environment.
2. In response to the effects of climate change, the Office of the Philippine President established
the Climate Change Commission and has already drafted the National Framework Strategy on
Climate Change 2010-2022. Conduct a comprehensive research on this framework and try to
adopt some of its strategies in a classroom level. Visit this site for needed information:

UNIT X Stars and Constellations
Loop
1. Stars are massive spheres of gas mostly hydrogen and helium held together by gravity. Like
the planets in the Solar System, stars are members of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Stars vary in size, composition and color. There are dwarf stars which are very difficult to see
at night while others shine bright in the sky. Stars differ in color because each star has its
own temperature. Red stars have lower temperature on its surface while blue stars possess
the highest temperature.
2. A constellation refers to an area of space in and around a pattern of prominent stars within
apparent proximity to one another on Earth’s high sky. Some defines it as a group of stars
visible within a particular region of the night sky.
Naming of constellations started during the ancient time. Most of the constellations
that we know today came from the ancient Middle Eastern, Greek and Roman cultures.
Constellations were named after mythological beings, gods, goddesses, animals or people
and zodiac signs.In 1400 , Ptolemy indexed the original 48 constellations. Today, there are 88
constellations as officially recognized by International Astronomical Union
3. Knowing the movements of constellations allows people to advance in many aspects.
Ancient societies for instance were able to track seasons by locating the position of a
constellation at a particular time of a year. With the observed patterns in rainfall, tides and
temperature among others, our ancestors were able to know when to plant and when to
harvest thus producing high yield in agricultural products. In the absence of advanced
technology such as global positioning satellites, sailors in the past used a sextant to find
their location at the sea. By measuring the angle between the sun and the horizon, a sailor
can accurately determine his position during daytime while at night, he can pick one of
the constellations to use as a guide in setting his location and ship’s direction. At present,
constellations are used by astronomers in exploring the outer space. They serve as signposts
in locating newly found heavenly bodies most importantly those that are approaching the
Earth such as meteorites or asteroids.
4. Though astrology is now considered as an ancient pseudoscience, this field still affects our
lives in many ways. Several countries have astrological traditions and beliefs that are also
associated with their religion. In India for example, the arrangement of the stars is used in
making decisions concerning marriage, career and politics. Birth months and years are also
used to predict the behaviour and characteristic traits of a person. Astrologists associate the
person’s zodiac sign to love relationship, happiness and even death hence it is very common
to see people seeking advice from these experts.

V. Conclusion
A star is a luminous body in the sky. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. Stars can
be different, some are small while others are large enough to be seen by the naked eyes. Some
are bright while others are faint. There are two primary factors that determine the brightness of
the stars: luminosity which is the measure of energy it radiates in a given time and the distance
between the star and the Earth.
They also differ in color as each cosmic body radiates a specific energy. Except for the Sun
whose distance from the Earth is quiet short, all stars are so far away that they appear like points
of light in the dark sky.

Answers may vary due to varied pupil-to-pupil distances among individuals. But generally,
apparent movement will become lesser as the distance between the pencil and the eye increases.
Analysis:
1. The pencil seems to jump from each original position. It appears to move to a position
opposite in the eye viewing it. For instance, when the pencil is viewed by the left eye then
you closed it and viewed it using the right eye, the pencil appears to move to the left.
2. The shift is greatest when the pencil was viewed in the shortest distance that is 20cm. The
least shift or parallax was observed when the observer moved away from the object under
study.
3. The shift decreases as the distance of the pencil from the observer’s eye increases.
232
4. The parallax of the pencil or any object depends on the distance it
has from the observer- the closer the object, the larger the parallax.
5. Parallax is used by astronauts in measuring the distances between
and among celestial bodies such as the moon, the sun, planets and
stars within and beyond the Solar System. As the Earth revolves
around the Sun, near stars seems to shift their position against the
farther stars. This parallax shift is used to calculate parallax distance
across the sky. The greater the parallax shift, the nearer the star
to the Earth is. Parallax however is accurate only for stars within
few hundred light years as parallax shift is too negligible to those
beyond the said distance.

The following answers are just suggestions. For the numbers not listed the answers may vary
depending on the students’ observations.
2. If the sky is clear, the students will definitely see a lot of stars and will notice a group of stars
such as the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Scorpio, etc. Sketch as many patterns of stars as you see
each time you go out.
233
3. There are 88 constellations which are best seen in the sky every month. The following chart
can be used as a guideline in identifying the constellations that are visible at night.

4. The Big Dipper is actually an asterism and not a constellations as it is only part of the
constellation Ursa Major (Great Bear). It is easy to locate because of its seven (7) bright stars.
It resembles the shape of a soup ladle. Three of its stars form the curved handle while the
four form the bowl.
Big Dipper is found high in the North during June evenings. The two outer stars of the
Big Dipper, Merak and Dubhe are called The Pointers because they point to the North Star or
Polaris. Once you have identified the North Star, you can already locate the Small Dipper as
the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper.
Other constellations that can be easily identified within the region where the Big Dipper
and Little Dipper can be found are the following: Canes Venatici, Cassiopeia, Cepheus,
Corona Borealis, Draco, Leo.
234
Analysis:
2. As the orbital positions of the Earth varies from time to time, we can view the night sky from
different perspective. The location of the constellations varies every hour and throughout the
year.
Constellations can be circumpolar or seasonal. Circumpolar constellations are visible all
throughout the year. There are five constellations which are considered circumpolar namely Ursa
Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Cassiopeia and Cepheus. All of these do not rise and set but simply
appear to circle the North Star otherwise known as the Polaris, the star that is directly above the
North Pole.
Seasonal constellations on the other hand can only be seen at certain times or seasons.
Orion (summer constellation) and Scorpius (winter constellation) appear in opposite regions of
the sky. At certain time, one can be seen rising as the other one sets. The Orion is found low in
the eastern sky from December, sits overhead throughout February and sinks low in the western
sky come April. Meanwhile, Scorpius can be clearly seen low in the eastern sky from May, appears
overhead during August and is sinking low in the western sky during November.
Procedure / Questions
Step 2. Draw the 8–12 different constellations on that cartolina strip. Punch holes on the points of stars.
Students may choose from the constellations cited in Activity 13.3, Observing Constellations in the
Night Sky.
Step 4. Darken the room by switching off the
light and closing the door and windows. Switch
on the lamp. What do you see on the walls of
the room?
Beam of light that pass through the punched
hole of the cartolina produced a ”set of
constellations” in the wall.
Step 5. Stand on one point and face one side
of the wall. What constellation figures are on
the wall before you? Answers may vary. Do
you see all the constellations when you are in
one position only? No, the constellations are
spread across the walls of the entire room.
Step 6. Walk around the room. Did you see all
the constellations (on the wall) as you finished
walking around the room? Yes.
Step 9. Move the globe as if it is revolving slowly. As the globe revolves, notice the position of the mark in
relation to the constellations.
As the globe (earth) rotates around its axis, the constellations seem to move across the wall (sky).
Analysis:
1. We see different groups of constellations in the sky in each season because the Earth rotates
around its axis and revolves around the sun the movement of the stars demonstrates the
passage of time during the night. As the earth rotates on its axis, constellations appear to
rise in the east and set in the west like what is observed for the moon and the sun every day.
Likewise, as the planet completes its revolution around the sun, different stars are seen from
month to month
235
2. As the Earth travels counter clockwise, the constellation appears to shift about one degree
westward each night until it completes a complete cycle of 360 degrees in a year. This happens
because the Earth, as it rotates around its axis, is also travelling about 960 km in its elliptical
orbit around the sun. This movement results to a change in the sun’s position in relation to
the background stars by one degree each day. This is the reason why constellations return to
their original position in a particular time of the year.
One good example for this is the movement of the Big Dipper. As observed, every 6hours,
it rotates to the west at 90 degrees around the North Star. As the Earth finishes one rotation
of its axis, the Big Dipper also completes its counter-clockwise movement around the North
Star within 24 hours.

B. Answer the following questions

1. What is astrology? How does it differ from astronomy?
Astrology is a study which determines the influence of the stars on the fate of ma
(judicial astrology) or on the changes of the weather (natural astrology) based on certain
fixed rules dependent upon the controlling position of stars at the time under consideration.
Astrologists interpret the influence of the Sun and moon and they identify 12 divisions in the
sky each of which is named after a major constellations found within it. These constellations
are the 12 signs of the zodiac and their positions relative to the Sun and Moon influence the
circumstances on Earth including the personalities and fate of people under each zodiac
sign.
Although astrology studies the movement of celestial objects, it is quite different from
Astronomy as the latter is a scientific study of the motion of these objects. Astronomy is
accurate and precise and is much more similar to another science known as astrophysics.
Astronomy is a scientific interpretation of matter in space. Astronomers do not try to interpret
the meaning of the positions of celestial objects but they only describe those phenomenon
as accurately as possible.
2. Explain in your own word the term “horoscope.”
Answers may vary but it most commonly, horoscope refers to the prediction of future
events or advice for future behaviour based on the relative positions of planets, Sun and
Moon and zodiac constellations.

B. Constructed Response. Answer the following questions comprehensively.
1. What are the factors that determine the brightness of a star?
The brightness of a star depends on what type of star it is and its distance from the
viewer. The type of a star id determined by both its size and temperature. Astronomers can
measure a star’s brightness using a photometer or charge-coupled device on the end of the
stars.
2. What is a constellation? How does it differ from an asterism?
Constellation and asterisms are oftentimes used interchangeably but they are not.
In 1930, the International Astronomical Union gave its specific definition for the term
constellation , and that it is a region in the sky which naturally contains stars. The entire
celestial sphere has been divided into 88 regions, these regions being constellations. On the
other hand, an asterism is a pattern of stars that may form part of an official constellation.
Examples of asterisms are the following: Big Dipper, Milk Dipper, Sword of Orion, Square of
Pegasus
237
3. Why do constellations appear to change in position in the sky?
Constellations appear to move in the sky because our Earth spins. As it rotates, apparent
motion among constellations is observed. It is the same reason why planets change position
in the sky.
4. What is the chemical composition of a star?
Most stars like our Sun is composed of 73% Hydrogen, 25% Helium and 2% other
elements
5. How do stars generate their light and heat energy? Describe the process.
Star gives off light or thermal radiation because of its high temperature. The hotter a
blackbody is, the more light it emits. Likewise, as the temperature of the object increases, it
emits most of its light at higher and higher energies.
The energy of a star is generated through a process of nuclear fusion. In this activity, light
atoms combine to form heavier atoms giving off excess energy in the process. Fusion takes
place in stars depending on the temperature in the core of the star. The starting particles of
fusion are hydrogen and helium, both elements are major components of a star. All stars
spend a major part of their lifetime in fusing of hydrogen into helium. Helium is created
through separate processes; the Proton-Proton reaction and the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen
Cycle. The P-P reaction uses two steps to convert hydrogen into 3He and then combines
two 3He nuclei into He and giving back 2H. Neutrinos and gamma rays are emitted in the
process. Nuclear process which occurs in more massive stars with higher core temperatures
is the C-N-O Cycle. Like the P-P reaction, it also leads to creation of helium from hydrogen
nuclei but uses carbon, nitrogen and oxygen as catalysts.
6. Why is Polaris important? Will Polaris always be “The Pole Star?”
Polaris, commonly known as the North Star or Pole Star is the brightest star in the
constellation Ursa Minor. It is an important star as it is used in navigation, architecture and
further exploration of the universe as Polaris does not change though the night or the year
at any given viewing location on Earth north of the equator.
Polaris will not always be the Pole Star. At present, the Earth’s axis points just as little away
from Polaris. It is very close to the north celestial pole but as the Earth’s axis wobbles during
its rotation and revolution, it points to different places in the sky. Earth’s pole is believed to
be slowly moving closer to pointing directly at Polaris. Calculations suggest that the closest
distance between the Earth and the Polaris will be observed in approximately 100 years.
After such encounter, the Earth will begin to move away from the star. It is predicted that
10,000 years from now, the Earth’s axis will point to Vega, a star in the constellation Lyra.

A. Answer the following questions or problems
1. Car (Canopus) has an apparent magnitude of -0.62 whilst the nearby star Wolf 359 has an
apparent magnitude of 13.44.
a. Which star appears brightest in the sky?
Since Canopus has a lower apparent magnitude compared to Wolf 359 therefore
it is certain than Canopus appears brighter in the sky. It can be supported by the fact
that this star is the second brightest star visible in the sky after Sirius A
b. How many times brighter is it than the other star?
Canopus is 4.207 x 105 times brighter in the sky than Wolf 359
238
2. How much more luminous is Betelgeuse than our Sun?
9,500 times more luminous than our Sun.
B. Making and Using Tables: Astronomical objects are given numbers to represent their absolute
and apparent magnitudes. The lower the number, the greater the object’s brightness.
1. What object listed in the table below has the brightest absolute magnitude?
2. What object is the brightest as seen from Earth?
3. How does the table show that apparent magnitude is dependent on both absolute
magnitude and distance from an observer?
Star Absolute Apparent Light-years from

Magnitude Magnitude Earth
The Sun 4.9 -26.7 0.000 002
Sirius 1.5 -1.5 8.70
Arcturus -0.3 -0.1 35.86
Alpha Centauri 4.4 0.0 4.34
Betelgeuse -5.5 0.8 489.0
Deneb -6.9 1.3 1401.80
Absolute and apparent are two main types of magnitude used in astronomy. The former
is dependent solely on the stars luminosity and is considered the true brightness of the star
at a distance of 10 parsecs ( 32.6 light years away)Apparent magnitude on the other hand
depends on two factors namely the luminosity of the star and its distance from the Earth.
This type of magnitude refers to the brightness of the object as seen by an observer in the
Earth.
As can be gleaned from the table, we can deduce that as the distance of the star from
the Earth increases, its apparent magnitude decreases. Among all the stars given above,
our Sun has the lowest absolute magnitude ( 4.9) however, it has the greatest apparent
magnitude of -26.7 because of its proximity to the Earth (0.000 002 light year). As such, it
appears to be the brightest star from where we stand. Deneb whose absolute magnitude
is -6.9 appears fainter in our sky because of its distance from the planet as revealed by an
apparent magnitude of 1.3.
Assuming that all these stars will be at a uniform distance from the Earth, Deneb will
appear the brightest and the Sun will be the dimmest as the stars’ apparent magnitude also
depend on their absolute magnitude.

1. Choose one calendar month ( January to December) and identify the different constellations
that are prominent during this particular month. Create your own model showing the different
constellations in the sky and orally present their movements in the universe all throughout the
year. After the session, put your products on display together with the constellations visible
seen during the other months.
One of the best models that can be used to observe the changing positions of constellations
is the planisphere Students may use any model of this devise. Below is an example of a labelled
planisphere:
To create a planisphere, students may download patterns from the net (e.g., Ventura Country
Astronomical Society http://www.vcas.org).
For a more stable template, it is recommended that a card or a folder be used for printing.
Cut around the outside of the planisphere and the white inner oval to make a hole in a middle.
Fold the grey area on the dotted lines as shown. Cut around the outside of the star map. Place
the star map into the planisphere pocket. Swivel the star map around to line up the date and
time to the day of observation.
Identify the North and South of the planisphere. Using a compass, find the North and South
pole of the Earth. Stand facing South, looking down at the planisphere so that the North is the
top facing away from you. Lift the planisphere above your head and the white disk area will
show you the stars in the sky.
To observe the movement of the your favorite constellation, rotate the wheel to move the
constellation close to East or West on the curved part of the planisphere. Note the time on the
inside of the wheel corresponding to the present date. As you turn the constellation close to the
East, the date and time you read corresponds on the date when the constellation rises. On the
other hand, turning it close to West will give you the date and time when the constellation sets.

Inquiry Lab
As both pennies were released at the same moment, the force of gravity started to work on
the pennies at the same time. The downward component of the forces working on each of the
pennies is therefore the same, and thus also the accelaration they obtain, resulting in reaching the
floor in exactly the same time. This is why only one loud click (first click) is heard of the two pennies
falling, regardless of the initial horizontal force imparted on one of them. When one of the pennies is
replaced with a marble, the same one click will result, implying that all objects fall with the same rate
(in a vacuum). In this case the air resistance was disregarded, because of the relative short distance of
fall.
242
Q and A (page 337)
The projectile’s minimum speed (and the minimum of the vertical component) occurs at the
zenith (top) of its trajectory. Meanwhile, if a projectile is released from the ground and if it lands
on the ground, its maximum speed (and the maximum of the vertical component) occurs at the
beginning and at the end. The horizontal component remains constant throughout. The vertical and
horizontal components of speed are independent of each other and both neglect air resistance.
Q and A (page 341)
Giraffe is a large animal with a long neck. An adult giraffe can weigh up to 1,100 kg, yet its
movement appears almost weightless. A giraffe can attain a speed of 55-65km/hr. The power and
weight of the giraffe are more in the forequarters than in the hindquarters, so that the main propulsion
for each stride comes from the forelegs. By pressing forward at the beginning of each stride, the neck
moves into line with the power stroke. The neck facilitates the movement by shifting the center of
gravity of the giraffe’s body forward and more nearly over the forelegs. At the end of each stride or leg
swing, as the hooves touch the ground again, the neck moves backward in order to slow down the
forward momentum of the body and enable the giraffe to keep its balance. (Dagg and Foster, 1982,
p. 102)
Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long
pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It is an acrobatic animal, often breaching and slapping the water. Its
usual swimming speed is 16.8 miles per hour (about 2.1 mph on land). With this speed and massive
size, the momentum of this whale is at maximum.
The oarfish (Regalecus glesne), which can reach 11 m (36 ft.), is the longest bony fish. The “typical”
fish body shape is roughly cylindrical and tapering at both ends. This characteristics uniform-shape
is quite energy efficient for swimming. Compared to other body shapes, this body shape creates less
drag (the opposing force an object generates as it travels through water).
Q and A (page 343)
It is important to consider safety when driving or riding an automobile not just our safety (driver
and passenger) but also the pedestrians and other road occupants. Accidents happen despite one’s
conscious effort to stay safe and avoid road mishaps. However, because life is important we have to
do all that we can to preserve it. And one way of preserving life is to be morally responsible of our cars
and the decisions we make once we are behind the wheel.

Questions for Analysis:

1. Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another. This
process is happening all the time, both in the world and within people. When people
consume food, the body utilizes the chemical energy in the bonds of the food and
transforms it into mechanical energy, a new form of chemical energy, or thermal energy.
Energy transformation is an important concept in the application of the physical sciences.
The ability for energy to be transformed automates, lights, entertains, and warms the world
in an astounding multitude of ways.
248
2. The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can
be transferred or transformed from one form to another (including transformation into or
from mass, as matter). The total amount of energy in a closed system never changes. Energy
in a system may be transformed so that it resides in a different state. Energy in many states
may be used to do many varieties of physical work. Energy may be used in natural processes
or machines, or else to provide some service to society. The generic name for a device which
converts energy from one form to another is a transducer. Energy transformations in the
universe over time are generally characterized by the various kinds of energy available since
the Big Bang, including gravitational energy and electromagnetic waves.

Note: Not all wintergreen cadies work. Test different brands to see which do work.

Think this over: Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated through
the breaking of chemical bonds in a material when it is pulled apart, ripped, scratched, crushed, or
rubbed (see tribology). The phenomenon is not fully understood, but appears to be caused by the
separation and reunification of electrical charges. The term comes from the Greek τρίβειν ("to rub";
see tribology) and the Latin lumen (light). Triboluminescence can be observed when breaking sugar
crystals and peeling adhesive tapes.

1. A 1,500 kg car rests on top of a cliff that is 100m in height. Compute the kinetic energy and
potential energy at the following intervals: 0 m, 25 m, 50 m, 75 m, and 100m. How do you
compare the kinetic and potential energies at each interval?
Level Kinetic Energy Potential Energy
0m 1.47 x 107 J 0J
25 m 1.10 x 106 J 3.675 x 105 J
50 m 7.35 x 105 J 7.35 x 105 J
75 m 3.675 x 105 J 1.10 x 106 J
100 m 0J 1.47 x 106 J
At the 0 m level, the kinetic energy is at its maximum, while the potential energy is at its
minimum. While at the 100 m, the kinetic energy is at its minimum, while the potential energy is
at its maximum. Their values at each interval amount to a total conserved energy of 1.47 x 106 J.
249
2. How does energy transformation happen to some common home appliances?
Answers may vary. Example: Electrical energy used to power on the television set is converted
to light, sound, heat and radiant energy.
3. On your notebooks, identify the energy change in the following example: A. an electric lamp, B.
an electric space heater, and C. battery operated car motor.
A: electrical to light energy; B: electrical to heat energy; and C: chemical to mechanical
energy.
(Lesson 2) Conservation of Energy

Does water contain energy? What kind of energy is it?
Water, like many substances, contains two kinds of energy. The first kind of energy is called kinetic
energy. This is energy that is used during the execution of processes, such as movement. Because of
kinetic energy water can flow and waves can exist. But water can also contain potential energy. This
is energy that is stored in the water. Stored, but not used. This energy can become useful when water
starts to flow. It will be transferred to kinetic energy and this will cause movement.
(The rotating cork in the activity will be the current.)

Tips: Make sure that the students use rubber bands just large enough to stretch out when the card is
flattened. Make sure students wear safety goggles during this activity
Think This Over: As students push down on the card, they stretched the rubber band and give it
potential energy. When they released the card, the potential energy changes to kinetic energy as the
rubber band snaps back and pull the card with it.
Activity 12.2 Conservation of Mechanical Energy

IV. Questions for Analysis
1. Yes. As stated by the law of conservation of energy, all of the object’s potential energy will
be converted to kinetic energy.
2. The track must be as smooth as possible. Rough tracks generate friction forces which
results to heat energy and is considered lost energy. Hence, in some cases the total
mechanical energy equation becomes: TME = P.E. + K.E. + Heat
3. In an ideal system, energy losses are minimized or even non-existent. But energy losses
are inevitable as appliances produce heat when in use. Tapping on the possible conversion
of heat energy from these situations will be beneficial for everyone. Also, we are currently
dependent on non-renewable fuel sources, which is in limited supply. Using renewable
energy sources, like solar energy, will answer our energy needs while not causing
environmental problems.
V. Conclusion
Answers may vary. The law of conservation of energy gives the relation between the two
common forms of mechanical energy. As the potential energy increases to its maximum value,
the kinetic energy of the same object is decreased to its minimum value. And the reverse is also
true, since the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and the object’s kinetic energy is
also transformed to potential energy.

• G-forces greater than 1 occur at the bottoms of hills.
• G-forces less than 1 occur at the tops of hills.
• To avoid falling, cars must have a certain velocity at the tops of loops.

IV. Questions for Analysis
1. One of the simplest forms of an engine is known as a
Hero's engine. A Hero's engine also called an aeolipile or
a spherical/cylindrical rocket that uses heat from a fire to
create steam. That steam is then forced to exit through a
pipe or jet, which causes the entire apparatus to spin.
2. Hero considered his device as a toy even though it espouses the rudiments of rotary motion
of heat engine. Applications of steam power include powering pumps and mills, vehicles
such as tractors, ships, trains, cars, submarine torpedo propulsion, naval propulsion systems,
and electricity generation.

When you rub your hands together, you feel the heat in your palms, which is work converted
to thermal energy. Thermal energy is the internal energy present in a system that is in a state of
thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. Thermal energy cannot be converted to
useful work as easily as the energy of systems that are not in states of thermodynamic equilibrium.
What To Do
1. What is the work done by the gas in a container at a pressure of 2.5 atm and a volume of
12m3 if:
a. it expands at constant pressure to twice its initial volume?
b. it is compressed at constant pressure to 1/4 of its initial volume?
255
Solution:
a. W = P(V2-V1) = P(2V1-V1) = PV1 = 151500 Pa*4 m3 = 606000 J
b. W = P(0.25V1 - V1) = -0.75PV1 = -454500 J
2. A gas is compressed at a constant pressure of 0.7 atm from 8 L to 1.5 L and releases 600 J of
thermal energy. What is the work done by the gas?
Solution: W = P(V2-V1) = -80800 Pa*7*10-3 m3 = -565.6 J
ΔU = -400 J + 565.6 J = 165.6 J

Answers may vary.
Q and A
Why is Sadi Carnot considered the Father of Thermodynamics?
Carnot sought to answer two questions about the operation of heat engines: "Is the work
available from a heat source potentially unbounded?" and "Can heat engines in principle be improved
by replacing the steam with some other working fluid or gas?" He attempted to answer these in a
memoir, published as a popular work in 1824 when he was only 28 years old. It was entitled Réflexions
sur la puissance motrice du feu ("Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire").
The book was plainly intended to cover a rather wide range of topics about heat engines in a rather
popular fashion. Equations were kept to a minimum and called for little more than simple algebra and
arithmetic, except occasionally in the footnotes, where he indulged in a few arguments involving a little
calculus. He discussed the relative merits of air and steam as working fluids, the merits of various aspects
of steam engine design, and even threw in some ideas of his own on possible practical improvements.
But the most important part of the book was devoted to a quite abstract presentation of an idealized
engine that could be used to understand and clarify the fundamental principles that are of general
applicability to all heat engines, independent of the particular design choices that might be made.
Perhaps the most important contribution Carnot made to thermodynamics was his abstraction
of the essential features of the steam engine as it was known in his day into a more general, idealized
heat engine. This resulted in a model thermodynamic system
A thermodynamic system is a precisely defined macroscopic region of the universe, often
called a physical system, that is studied using the principles of thermodynamics.... upon which exact
calculations could be made, and avoided the complications introduced by many of the crude features
of the contemporary steam engine. By idealizing the engine, he could arrive at clear, indisputable
answers to his original two questions.
What To Do
The First Law of Thermodynamics tells us that : the change in internal energy is equal to the
change in heat plus the work done on the system. The value of is 24 J, since that much heat is added
to the system, and the value of is –6 J, since the system does work rather than has work done on it.
With this in mind, calculating is a simple matter of subtraction:
ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW = 24 J – 6 J = 18 J
256
The internal energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energies. So, the internal energy certainly
can be greater than the kinetic energy. This is not an issue for an ideal gas, but certainly is for a solid.
What To Do
1. The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as e = 1 – a ΔQ out/ΔQin, where ΔQout is the
amount of heat output into the cold reservoir and ΔQ is the amount of heat produced by
the heat engine. Plugging the numbers in the question into this formula, we find that:
70 J
ε=1– = 0.3
100 J
An efficiency of 0.3 is the same thing as 30%.

2. The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that the total amount of disorder, or entropy,
in the universe is increasing. The entropy in a particular system can decrease, as with water
molecules when they turn to ice, but only if the entropy in the surroundings of that system
increases to an equal or greater extent. The Second Law of Thermodynamics holds, but only
because the surroundings are gaining entropy, so the correct answer is E. Answer D refers to
the key part of the answer, but gives the wrong information about the change in entropy of
the surroundings.
Be careful not to fall for answer C. This is an explanation for why the water does not lose
heat when it freezes: it is, in fact, losing internal energy. This is an instance of the First Law of
Thermodynamics, which states that the change in a system’s internal energy is equal to the
value of the heat transfer in the system minus the work done by the system.

Tips: Caution the students to avoid over inflating the ball, which could cause it to burst. Make sure
that the students recognize that the bicycle pump is using mechanical energy to inflate the ball.
Expected Outcome: students should find the temperature of the pump and the ball increases after

Think This Over: the work done by the piston of the pump goes into thermal energy of the gas (due
to compression) and the thermal energy of the of the pump (due to friction). Air goes in the TIRE
pressure increases and the tire becomes harder. If you keep pumping it'll eventually blow up. The
expanding of matter when it is heated is known as thermal expansion.

1. An air conditioner is basically a heat pump, moving the heat from one location to another.
Putting an air conditioner in the window will move the heat that is in the room outside. If
you place the air conditioner in the middle of the room you aren’t moving the heat out of the
room. One part of the room—the part in front of the air conditioner—will be colder but the
area behind the air conditioner will be hotter.

1. Wanting your home to be warm in the winter and save on your heating bills, your insulation has
one task and that is to keep the heat in. But if you want your home to stay cool on the warmest
summer days, insulation's job is different. It must keep the heat out.
Today, there is a wide array of insulating products available. Here are some:
a. The most commonly used insulation in modern homes is fiberglass. A fluffy-looking stuff
resembling cotton candy, it is used in walls, ceilings and as a wrap for air ducting and pipes.
Fiberglass is chemically stable, will not rot and is nonflammable. It does melt with enough
heat, so it offers no fire retardant properties to the home.
• Fiberglass rolls are available in various widths and lengths for use between the framing
members of walls, ceilings and on attic floors.
• Fiberglass batts are the really the same as rolls, except that they are bundled in precut
lengths to make installation in standard 8' walls easier.
• Fiberglass blankets are similar to batts in that they are sold in precut lengths, but
do not have a vapor barrier facing. They are designed to be installed over the top of
existing insulation in attic floors.
b. Cellulose insulation is a by product of the paper industry, using up to 75% recycled newsprint!
A known insulator for many decades, it grew in popularity during the energy crisis of the 70's
as a way to increase home energy efficiency while being environmentally responsible.
c. Mineral wool, also known as rock wool, is an insulation product manufactured from steel slag.
The slag, a byproduct of steel manufacturing consisting of dirt and limestone, is combined
with other chemicals, heated and spun into a fibrous material that is an excellent insulator.
It is permanent, will not rot, does not burn or melt, does not absorb moisture, and will not
support mold or mildew.
d. Rigid insulation is often used to supplement the insulation in walls and ceilings. Adding a
half inch of polystyrene foam board installed beneath the wallboard can give the homeowner
the equivalent of 5 1/2" of fiberglass in a 3 1/2" thick standard stud wall. This is much more
economical than using 2x6 studs instead of 2x4 studs for the framing. As an additional
benefit, the rigid insulation stops the conduction of heat from the outside through the wall
framing, eliminating "cold spots" on the wallboard at each stud.

Questions for Analysis:
1. Fossil fuels store the sun’s energy. The sun’s energy is first converted and stored in plant and
in animals that eat plants. The remains of the plants and animals become fossil fuels over
millions of years.
2. The energy of coal is released by combustion, when its potential chemical energy is
converted to thermal energy.
3. Nuclear energy in the sun is converted into electromagnetic energy (sunlight). Plants and
animals convert the sun’s electromagnetic energy to stored chemical energy. When exposed

What To Do
The power rating of a device is a guideline set by the manufacturer as a maximum power to be
used with that device. This limit is usually set somewhat lower than the level where the device will be
damaged, to allow a margin of safety.
In devices which primarily dissipate electric power or convert it into mechanical power, such as
resistors, electric motors, and the power rating given is usually the maximum power that can be safely
dissipated by the device. The usual reason for this limit is heat although in certain electromechanical
devices, particularly speakers, it is to prevent mechanical damage. When heat is the limiting factor,
the power rating is easily calculated.
First, the amount of heat that can be safely dissipated by the device, PD, max must be calculated.
This is related to the maximum safe operating temperature, the ambient temperature or temperature
range in which the device will be operated, and the method of cooling. If TD,max is the maximum
safe operating temperature of the device, TA is the ambient temperature, and θDA is the total thermal
resistance between the device and ambient, then the maximum heat dissipation is given by
T max – TA
PDi max = Di
θDA
If all power in a device is dissipated as heat, then this is also the power rating. On the other hand,
if most of the power is converted into mechanical power, then we need to know the efficiency, where
PDi max
η (ehta) is the efficiency. Then, the power rating is given by Power rating: Pmax =
1–η

Q and A
The Philippine Grid Code
The Philippine Grid Code establishes and documents the basic rules, requirements, procedures
and standards that govern the operation, maintenance and development of the high-voltage
backbone transmission system in the Philippines. The Grid Code identifies and recognizes the
responsibilities and obligations of three (3) key independent functional groups, namely (a) Grid
Owner, (b) System Operator and (c) Market Operator. These functional groups and all Users of the
Grid must comply with all the provisions of the Grid Code. The Grid Code is intended to be used
along with the Market Rules of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market to ensure the safe, reliable and
efficient operation of the Grid.
Republic Act No. 9136, also known as the “Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001,” mandated
the creation of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). Section 43(b) of the Act also provides that
the ERC promulgate and enforce a National Grid Code and a Distribution Code which shall include,
but not limited to: (a) Performance Standards for TRANSCO O & M Concessionaire, distribution utilities
and suppliers, and (b) Financial Capability Standards for the generating companies, the TRANSCO,
distribution utilities and suppliers. The Act also mandates the ERC to enforce compliance to the Grid
Code, the Distribution Code and the Market Rules and to impose fines and penalties for violations of
their provisions.
The Grid Code was prepared using a functional rather than an organizational format so that it will
remain robust and require minimum changes as the Philippine electric power industry is transformed
to its new organizational structure.
262
The safe, reliable and efficient operation of the Grid requires the cooperation of all industry
participants. It is important that all Grid Users follow the instructions and orders of the System
Operator to ensure the reliable operation of the Grid. The System Operator will work closely with
the Market Operator to dispatch day-ahead pool schedules and provide the necessary support in
satisfying the technical and operational requirements of real time control of the Grid.
The policies and decisions of the Grid Owner, System Operator and Market Operator on matters
involving the operation, maintenance and development of the Grid will affect all industry participants
and end-users. It is important, therefore, that all affected parties have a voice in making decisions and
policies involving the operation, maintenance and development of the Grid. The Grid Code provides
this mechanism through the Grid Management Committee that will relieve the Energy Regulatory
Commission from the tedious task of monitoring day-to-day operations of the Grid.
The PGC specifies the standards to ensure the quality, reliability and efficiency of the Transmission
System, as well as safety standards for the protection of personnel in the power transmission
environment.
