Gr 7 - Analyzing Earthquake Hazards and Coping Mechanisms

The Science Education Institute (SEI) in partnership with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) and in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine Normal University (PNU) and University of the Philippines-National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (UP-NISMED) developed these information and communication technology - supported learning innovation to upgrade and improve science and mathematics education in the country. The Science and Mathematics Coursewares are provided for free to public schools and are also made available online as supplemental resources for teachers and students. A fun and interactive approach to e-learning, the DOST Courseware for Grades 1-6 is composed of 56 lessons in mathematics. Modules are divided into three parts: Activities, Fixing Skills and Evaluation. Alongside the production of the technology package for elementary is the Courseware in Science and Mathematics for first year and second year levels of secondary schools which are also intended as supplementary materials. Both featured all-original characters and local setting.

​The Grade 7 Courseware is composed of 73 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Matter; Force, Motion and Energy, Living Things and Their Environment and Earth and Space while the 60 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Numbers and Number Sense, Patterns and Algebra, and Geometry.

​The Grade 8 Courseware is composed of 60 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Parts and Functions, Ecosystems, Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, Structures and Functions, Biodiversity, and Evolution, while the 60 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations, Rational Algebraic Equations, Integral Exponents, Radicals, Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence.
