Highlights
The video emphasizes that while lesson exemplars can still be used as a guide, teachers can improvise activities if they find them too difficult. However, the learning objectives and competencies set by the curriculum guide must always be followed.
The speaker introduces the Grade 9 Term 1 Science topics and discusses whether the learning competencies have changed in the MATATAG curriculum. It's confirmed that the learning competencies remain similar to previous curricula, covering physics and earth science.
Weeks 1 and 2 will cover Newton's Laws of Motion. Weeks 3 and 4 are dedicated to the nature of electricity. Weeks 5 and 6 will focus on series and parallel circuits, respectively. Weeks 7 and 8 will discuss electromagnetic radiation, its applications, and harmful effects.
Weeks 9 to 11 will cover Earth Science topics, including evidence of continental drift, the existence of a single ancient supercontinent, plate boundaries (types and characteristics), and geological/topographical evidence in the Philippines. These topics were previously part of the Grade 10 old curriculum.
