Category: Science – SHS

The book is enriched with features that serve as additional information or applications of the basic concepts in geology and biology.

• It provides the content coverage as prescribed in the standards set by the DepEd.
• It has short hands-on activities that provide opportunities for learning through discovery, exploration through laboratory investigation, and solving problems using the scientific method.
• It also has assessments that help students evaluate their learning and require them to think critically about the concepts and their applications to real life.

• T he book presents Earth Science topics in twofold. T he first part gives an overview on the origin of the universe and the solar system, including Earth. It also explores the natural resources on Earth as well as the impact of humans to the environment. T he second part deals with the dif f erent processes on and within Earth through which the present-day Earth resulted since its formation.
• The book provides a spiral progression of Earth Science concepts between and among the chapters presented. It presents challenging lessons for the students to think critically and creatively, taking their role in Exploring Life Through Science as scientists and engineers of the future.

•  It presents the history of the Earth through geologic time as a continuous event.
• It discusses Earth’s processes both internal and external and how these change Earth. The book highlights issues and concerns related to natural processes and human activities in the use of Earth’s resources. It includes Philippine environmental laws that govern the utilization of these resources.

• T he book is written in a conventional style, making it appealing and enjoyable to read among senior high school students. It is divided into two units, each consisting of five chapters.
• All the book chapters are individually well constructed in a comprehensive style, but maintained integrated as a whole. Sample problems and practice exercises of varying difficulty are included in the chapters to test students’ grasp of the key concepts and problem solving techniques.
• Applications and updated information are major considerations in writing this book. Special features are added to spark the students’ curiosity and answer their questions on how the principles are applied to a variety of real-life situations and technological products.

This book presents a concise discussion of the origin of matter, their properties, interactions, and applications, and a study of the universal laws and principles in physics.

• T he book presents the risks associated with specific hazards to enable students to recognize and assess their vulnerability.
• It gives the students the opportunity to develop their personal, family, and community emergency response plans to make them more disaster-ready.
• It also includes practical activities that reinforce learning as well as worthwhile projects that can be done individually or as a group that are all geared toward disaster preparedness.
• T he book features local and foreign scientists who had great contributions in the study of disasters or its origins. It also puts emphasis on the e effect of climate change on the increasing risks and effects of disasters. It ultimately aims to make the students understand that disaster preparedness is not just a government effort but everyone’s.

• General Physics 1 focuses on the mechanics of particles, rigid bodies, and fluids; wave motion and sound; and heat and thermodynamics. General Physics 2 presents topics on electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Each chapter provides adequate explanation and description of physical laws or principles, and is supplemented with carefully chosen solved sample problems.
• Practice exercises follow each sample problem to provide students an opportunity to reinforce their learning and gain confidence in calculations.
• Each chapter ends with Test Yourself and a laboratory activity.
• The books also provide teachers and students with rich applications of physics that are in tune with times. These make students realize that physics is about the world in front of them and that physics deals with the laws of nature. Understanding these laws is, therefore, the key to technological progress in any civilization.

• It provides up-to-date information on life processes from the molecular, cellular, and organismic levels of organization.
• Contextualized, relevant, environment-focused content, cutting-edge researches, and practical information are embedded in every chapter to prepare students for real-life science.
  Laboratory or classroom-based science activities are provided for students to practice and enhance their scientific investigation skills.
• With the declaration of the 21st century as the era of the life sciences, the book starts with advances in biology as parts of everyday living before introducing the cell, its structures and functions, and how it divides. The chemical nature of the cell and its organelles are then introduced, followed by the detailed examination of the various processes involved in the transformation of energy. The formation of tissues and organ systems are likewise included in this book.
• Time-tested features of ELTS are included to ensure student-centered learning as defined in the K to 12 science curriculum and to ensure that it is responsive to the needs of the Filipino learner in the 21st century.

• General Chemistry 1 presents the different properties and classifications of matter and the chemical reactions they undergo. General Chemistry 2 focuses on chemical kinetics, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, and chemical equilibria.
• The books contain descriptive visuals and images to help facilitate better and easier understanding of the concepts. They cite scientists who pioneered the different chemical principles and theories.
• They also feature various science-related careers, notable Filipino scientists, and practical applications to develop appreciation for chemistry.
• End-of-chapter exercises are provided to test understanding of the concepts presented.
