A Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Science 8
I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson 100% of the students with 75% level of proficiency should
be able to:
a. Define fault.
b. Determine the consequences of plates that are moving apart.
c. Draw the appearance of a fault.
II. Subject Matter
Topic: Earthquakes and Faults
Subtopic: How movements along faults generate earthquakes
Concept: Earthquake- vibration of Earth due to rapid release of energy
Fault- is a break in the Earth’s crust, and along the break which movement
has occurred.
Plate-rigid section of the lithosphere that moves as a unit.
Epicenter-the point on the earth’s surface vertically above the focus of an
earthquake.
Magnitude-a number that shows the power of an earthquake.
Textbook: Breaking Through Science 8 p.166-172

Materials: Activity sheets, visual aids. PowerPoint presentation, zest-o boxes,
masking tape and ruler.
Skills: Analyze how movements along faults can generate earthquakes.
Values: Recognize the importance of location when building structures.

C. Presentation of the Lesson
Activity #1: Film Showing
(Earthquake related video)
Activity # 2: It is our Fault: The Fault-u Set Up
Procedure:
Step 1: Arrange the two sheets of cardboard, edge to edge. It could be
horizontally or vertically arranged.
Step 2: Flatten the modeling clay and place it at the center of the two
cardboards. Clay should be along the boundary. (reminder)
Step 3: Slowly pull the two cardboards away from each other. Observe what
happens to the clay.
Draw your observation based on the result of your fault-y set up in ¼ cartolina and
post your work on the board.
Draw your observation.
Look at the picture.
FAULT- a break in the earth’s crust, and along the break, significant movement
has taken place.
When plates are moving away from each other, it results to:
*Earthquake
*Fault
San Andreas Fault
D. Valuing/ Application
Make an emergency plan in case an earthquake occurs.
E. Generalization
Earthquake is the vibration of Earth due to rapid release of energy.
Fault is a break in the Earth’s crust, and along the break which movement has
occurred.
IV. Evaluation
Answer the following questions:
1. It is a break in the earth’s crust to which significant movement has taken place.
2. When two plates are moving away from each other, the consequences are:
For 3 points:
Draw the appearance of a fault.
V. Assignment
What is the difference between a normal fault and reverse fault?
