Grading Space Fire, the Philippines is prone to earthquakes. - Active and inactive faults
Using models, students will explain how - How movements along
earthquakes generated by faults. They will try faults generate
to identify faults in the community and earthquakes
differentiate active faults from inactive ones. - How earthquakes generate
Students will explain how typhoons develop, tsunamis

Environment the respiratory system. This provides the
oxygen needed by cells to release the energy
stored in food. They also learn that dissolved
wastes are removed through the urinary
system; solid wastes are eliminated through
the excretory system.
Students learn the process of cell division
by mitosis and meiosis. They understand that
meiosis is an early step in sexual
reproduction that leads to variation.
Students learn that species refers to a
group of organisms that can mate with one
another to produce fertile offspring. They
learn that biodiversity is the collective variety
