of Days
I. ORIGIN AND STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH
A. Universe and Solar System
1. State the different hypotheses explaining the origin of the universe. 1 2 1
2. Describe the different hypotheses explaining the origin of the solar system. 1 3 4
B. Earth and Earth Systems
1. Recognize the uniqueness of Earth, being the only planet in the solar system with properties
necessary to support life. 2 7 6 5
2. Explain that the Earth consists of four subsystems, across whose boundaries matter and
energy flow. 1 9 8
3. Explain the current advancements/information on the solar system 1
4. Show the contributions of personalities/people on the understanding of the earth systems 1 11
5. Identify and differentiate the layers of the Earth (crust, mantle, core). 1 13 12
II. EARTH MATERIALS AND PROCESSES
A. Minerals and Rocks
1. Identify common rock-forming minerals using their physical and chemical properties 1 14, 15
2. Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic 1 16 17
B. Exogenic Processes
1. Describe how rocks undergo weathering 1 19 18
2. Explain how the products of weathering are carried away by erosion and deposited
elsewhere 1 21
C. Endogenic Processes
1. Describe where the Earth’s internal heat comes from. 1
2. Describe how magma is formed (magmatism) 1 22
3. Describe what happens after the magma is formed (plutonism and volcanism) 1 23, 24
4. Describe the changes in mineral components and texture of rocks due to changes in
pressure and temperature (metamorphism) 1 25
5. Compare and contrast the formation of the different types of igneous rocks 1 26
6. Describe how rocks behave under different types of stress such as compression, pulling
apart, and shearing 1 27
D. Deformation of the Crust
1. Explain how the continents drift 1 28
2. Cite evidence that support continental drift 1 29
3. Explain how the movement of plates leads to the formation of folds and faults 1 30
4. Explain how the seafloor spreads 1 31
5. Describe the structure and evolution of ocean basins 1 32
E. History of the Earth
1. Describe how layers of rocks (stratified rocks) are formed 1 33
2. Describe the different methods (relative and absolute dating) to determine the age of

1 38, 39
eruptions, and landslides
3. Identify human activities that speed up or trigger landslides 1 40
4. Suggest ways to help lessen the occurrence of landslides in your community 1 41

1 43
monsoons, floods, or ipo-ipo
