This document outlines a lesson plan about earthquakes and faults for an 8th grade science class. The objectives are for students to understand the relationship between faults and earthquakes, and be able to participate in decision making about building structures based on fault locations. The content will cover earthquakes, faults, how fault movement generates quakes, and how underwater quakes create tsunamis. The lesson will use references, textbooks, videos and presentations to explain these concepts and have students practice skills like differentiating between earthquake focus and epicenter, and explaining how faults generate quakes and tsunamis. Formative assessment includes questions about predicting quakes and why the Philippines is seismically active.
