FIRST SEMESTER SYLLABUS IN EARTH SCIENCE 11

First Quarter
S. Y. 2019-2020

CORE SUBJECT This learning area is designed to provide a general background for the understanding of Earth Science and
DESCRIPTION Biology. It presents the history of the Earth through geologic time. It discusses the Earth‟s structure,
composition, and processes. Issues, concerns, and problems pertaining to natural hazards are also included. It
also deals with the basic principles and processes in the study of biology. It covers life processes and
interactions at the cellular, organism, population, and ecosystem levels.

CONTENT The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts and principles of Earth Science.
STANDARD
