This document contains teaching materials about earthquakes and faults for grade 7 science students. It includes titles, guide cards, activity cards and answer cards to help explain key concepts. The materials introduce faults as breaks in the Earth's crust that can cause earthquakes when blocks of rock slide past one another. There are two main types of faults - dip-slip and strike-slip. Students are engaged through images and exercises to identify faults and differentiate between the two types. The goal is for students to understand the relationship between faults and earthquakes.

Competency
A. Understanding Fault and Earthquake (Main Task)
Subtasks:
1.Explain how a fault forms
2.Describe the appearance of a fault
3.Relate fault to the
occurrence of earthquake

4. TITLE CARD
THE OCCURRENCE OF
EARTHQUAKE: IT’S
OUR FAULT!

5. GUIDE CARD
During earthquake,
blame it on the fault!
Earthquake is one of the most frightening calamities that
human beings can ever experience. You grew up
believing that beneath the earth are steady, solid and hard
rocks, but why it can suddenly shake? You do not know
what to believe anymore? Earthquake is unstoppable!
Just remember, if God is with us who can be against us?
In the same manner that if we have clear understanding of
earthquake and fault, why stop
believing, right?

6. GUIDE CARD
During earthquake,
blame it on the fault!
Can you tell what happened in the picture?
Why does an earthquake occur?
What is the relationship between a fault and an earthquake?

7. GUIDE CARD
During earthquake,
blame it on the fault!
This lesson introduces you to earthquake and fault. If there
is an earthquake, there is a fault. If there is a fault, there
is an earthquake.
As a challenge to understand this cause and effect
relationship, from me to you are exercises about
earthquakeand fault.
Have a fault – y journey ahead!

8. ACTIVITY CARD NO. 1
BEFORE AND AFTER
Pictures show before and after an earthquake. Can you
identify these?

9. ACTIVITY CARD NO. 2
FAULT FINDER
Do you see anything unusual?
Find the difference. Find the fault.

10. ACTIVITY CARD NO.
3 FAULT TO FAULT
There are to kinds of fault. Tell one from the other.

ALL ABOUT
EARTHQUAKE AND
FAULT
Fill in the blanks with the correct words.
1. ________________ is the sudden and violent shaking of
the ground.
2. A break in the block rocks that make up the earth’s
crust is________________.
3 - 4There are two kinds of fault, namely _____________ and
________________.
5. When two blocks of rocks slide past each
other, the kind of fault is _________________.

12. High five! You got all 5!

17. ANSWER CARD
ASSESSMENT
1. Earthquake is the sudden and violent shaking of the
ground.
2. A break in the block of rocks that make up the
earth’s crust is fault.
3 - 4There are two kinds of fault, namely dip - slip and strike -
slip.
5. When two blocks of rocks slide past each
other, this kind of fault is strike - slip.

18. REFERENCE CARD
For Your Information!
You can probably guess what a fault is by now. A fault,
either strike or dip slip is a break in the Earth’s crust,
and along the break, significant movement has taken
place known as earthquake .
Mission accomplished!
More to come, So read more!
