Identify inertia as the tendency for an object to stay at rest or in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced net force.
2. Demonstrate in practical situations and describe that acceleration is a change in speed and/or direction as the result of a net force.
3. Investigate the relationship among force, acceleration, and mass.
4. Explain that when any two objects interact, there are equal but opposite forces exerted between them, which is evident in many practical situations and applications.
5. Observe and identify action-reaction pairs in everyday situations such as stepping off a boat, or a book on a table, and draw force diagrams to explain how the pairs affect the motion of objects.
6. Identify that electricity is a flow of electrons and show appreciation for the need to observe safe measures in handling electricity.
7. Participate in guided investigations to infer the relationship among current, voltage, and resistance in assembled series and parallel circuits with varying number of loads and battery.
8. Draw diagrams of and assemble series and parallel circuits, showing switch, battery, loads/resistors, ammeter, and voltmeter.
9. Collaborate in a class discussion to recognize the advantages and limitations of using series or parallel circuits.
10. Describe electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as energy that is created by the vibrations of electrically charged particles which allows it to travel through materials or space as transverse waves.
11. Compare the relative wavelengths and frequencies of different types of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma radiation.
12. Identify practical applications of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves used in telecommunications, and x-rays and gamma rays in medicine.
13. Gather information from secondary sources to explain the harmful effects that EMR can have on living things.
14. Identify and explain evidence that current continents are separate parts of what was a single continent millions of years ago.
15. Participate in a collaborative group or class task to examine and describe the topographical and geological evidence for plate boundaries occurring in the area where the Philippines is located.
16. Describe the types of plate boundaries found around the Earth.
