MELC: Enumerate what to do before, during and after earthquake and volcanic eruptions

 

Hello Grade 6 learners! Today, we're going to talk about something very important: staying safe during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. These are natural events that can be scary, but with the right knowledge, we can be prepared and know what to do!

 


Before an Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption:

 

1. Prepare an Emergency Kit: Have a bag ready with essentials like water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, batteries, a first-aid kit, and important documents. Keep this kit in an easily accessible place.

 

2. Make a Family Plan: Talk with your family about where to meet if you get separated during an earthquake or eruption. Choose a safe spot away from buildings and trees.

 

3. Learn about Safe Places: Know which places in your home or school are safest during these events. Under sturdy tables or desks is a good place to hide during an earthquake. Stay away from windows and heavy objects.

 

During an Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption:

 

1. Stay Calm: If you feel shaking (for earthquakes) or notice signs like loud noises or ash falling (for volcanic eruptions), stay calm. Remember what you learned and stay safe.

 

2. Drop, Cover, and Hold On: If you're indoors during an earthquake, drop to the ground, take cover under something sturdy like a table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops. If you're outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines.

 

3. Follow Authorities' Instructions: Listen to adults and follow instructions from teachers, parents, or emergency workers. They are there to keep you safe.



 After an Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption:

 

1. Check for Injuries: After the shaking stops, check yourself and others for injuries. If someone is hurt, get help from an adult right away.

 

2. Assess Your Surroundings: Look around to see if there is any damage to buildings or if there are hazards like fallen power lines or broken glass. Stay away from damaged areas.

 

3. Communicate with Your Family: Let your family know you're okay if you can. Use text messages if phone lines are busy. Stick to your family plan and meet at the designated spot if you got separated.

 

Remember, being prepared is the best way to stay safe during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

By knowing what to do before, during, and after these events, you can help keep yourself and others safe. Stay informed, stay calm, and stay safe!

 


TRANSLATION

Ngayon, pag-uusapan natin ang isang napakaimportante: ang pagiging ligtas sa panahon ng lindol at pagsabog ng bulkan. Ito ay mga natural na pangyayari na maaaring nakakatakot, ngunit sa tamang kaalaman, tayo ay maaaring handa at alam kung ano ang gagawin!

 

Bago Mangyari ang Lindol o Pagsabog ng Bulkan:

 

1. Maghanda ng Emergency Kit: Magkaroon ng isang bag na may kailangang kagamitan tulad ng tubig, hindi-agad masisira na pagkain, flashlight, baterya, unang-tulong kit, at mahahalagang dokumento. Ipatong ang bag na ito sa isang madaling mararating na lugar.

 

2. Gumawa ng Pampamilyang Plano: Makipag-usap sa iyong pamilya kung saan kayo magkikita-kita kung kayo ay maghiwalay sa panahon ng lindol o pagsabog ng bulkan. Pumili ng isang ligtas na lugar malayo sa mga gusali at puno.

 

3. Matuto tungkol sa Ligtas na Lugar: Alamin kung aling mga lugar sa iyong tahanan o paaralan ang pinakaligtas sa panahon ng mga pangyayaring ito. Sa ilalim ng matibay na mga mesa o lamesa ay magandang lugar na pagtaguan sa panahon ng lindol. Lumayo sa mga bintana at mabibigat na bagay.

 

Sa Panahon ng Lindol o Pagsabog ng Bulkan:

 

1. Manatiling Kalmado: Kung ikaw ay nararamdaman ang pagyanig (para sa lindol) o napapansin ang mga palatandaan tulad ng malakas na ingay o abo na bumabagsak (para sa pagsabog ng bulkan), manatiling kalmado. Tandaan kung ano ang iyong natutunan at manatili sa ligtas.

 

2. Dumapa, Magtago, at Kumapit: Kung ikaw ay nasa loob ng bahay sa panahon ng lindol, ibagsak sa lupa, itaklob ang sarili sa ilalim ng isang matibay na bagay tulad ng mesa o lamesa, at kumapit hanggang sa tumigil ang pagyanig. Kung ikaw ay nasa labas, lumipat sa isang bukás na lugar malayo sa mga gusali, puno, at mga linya ng kuryente.

 

3. Sundan ang mga Tagubilin ng mga Otoridad: Magsalita sa mga matatanda at sundin ang mga tagubilin mula sa mga guro, magulang, o mga manggagamot ng emergency. Sila ay narito upang panatilihin kang ligtas.

 

Pagkatapos ng Lindol o Pagsabog ng Bulkan:

 

1. Suriin ang mga Sugat: Pagkatapos ng pagyanig, suriin ang sarili at ang iba para sa mga sugat. Kung mayroong nasugatan, humingi ng tulong mula sa isang matanda kaagad.

 

2. Tasa ang Iyong Paligid: Tumingin sa paligid upang makita kung mayroong pinsala sa mga gusali o kung may mga panganib tulad ng nasirang mga linya ng kuryente o basag na salamin. Lumayo sa mga nasirang lugar.

 

3. Komunikasyon sa Iyong Pamilya: Sabihin sa iyong pamilya na okay ka kung maaari. Gamitin ang text messages kung ang mga linya ng telepono ay abala. Sundan ang plano ng pamilya at magkita-kita sa itinakdang lugar kung kayo ay nagkahiwalay.

 

Tandaan, ang pagiging handa ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang manatiling ligtas sa panahon ng lindol at pagsabog ng bulkan. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-alam kung ano ang gagawin bago, habang, at pagkatapos ng mga pangyayaring ito, maaari mong matulungan ang iyong sarili at ang iba na manatiling ligtas. Maging impormado, manatiling kalmado, at manatiling ligtas!

 

Activity 1: Paggawa ng poster

Gamit ang website or App na Canva, gumawa ng isang poster na naglalarawan ng mga dapat gawin kapag lumilindol. Matapos itong gawin, i-send ito sa GC. Deadline is on April 18, 2024, at 5:00 PM

[Q3] ENERGY TRANSFER

  Exploring the Transformation of Energy: Sound, Heat, Light, and Electricity By: Pj Miana   Introduction: Energy is all around us, and it can take many forms. In this lesson, we'll delve into how different types of energy—sound, heat, light, and electricity—can be transformed from one form to another. Understanding these transformations helps us comprehend the world and the technology we use every day.   1. Sound Energy: Sound energy is produced by vibrations traveling through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. It can be transformed in various ways:   - Mechanical to Sound : When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves. For example, when you pluck a guitar string, the mechanical energy of your hand's motion is transformed into sound energy.   - Sound to Electrical : Microphones transform sound waves into electrical signals. These signals can then be amplified and converted back into sound through speakers.   2. Heat Energy: Heat energy is
