EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE
The Subsystems of
the Earth
Read the statement. Find the terms that reflects to
what made up the Earth and categorize them into:
22
Imagine walking along a rocky coast as a storm blows in
from the sea. The wind whips the ocean into whitecaps,
and waves crash onto the shore. Before you have time to
escape, blowing spray has soaked your clothes. A hard rain
begins as you scrambled over the rocks to your car. During
the adventure, you have observed the spheres of the Earth.
23
Subsystems of
the Earth
24
Atmosphere
The gaseous layer
above the Earth’s
surface primarily
composed of
different gases
such as nitrogen
and oxygen.
25
Biosphere
The zone of the
Earth where all
forms of life exist.
This serves
as the ecosystem
of all living and
non- living
organisms.
26
Geosphere
The solid part of
the Earth that
consists the entire
planet from
the center of the
core to the outer
crust.
27
Hydrosphere
The water part of
the Earth that
includes oceans
and glaciers.
28
29
Analyze the interactions of the spheres
after the onslaught of Taal Volcano.
1. What sphere caused

the event?
2. What are the effects
of the event on one or
more spheres?
30
QUIZ
Choose the letter of the best answer.
1. Earth includes beach grasses, forms of life in the sea, on land, and even
in the air. Which term best describes the statement?
A. atmosphere C. geosphere
B. biosphere D. hydrosphere
2. Life is supported by oxygen and carbon dioxide. Which subsystem will

best describe the statement?
A. atmosphere C. geosphere
B. biosphere D. hydrosphere
31
3. What is an example of a connection between atmosphere and
geosphere?
A. water C. mountains
B. nitrogen D. volcanic eruption release gas
4. An example of a connection between atmosphere and hydrosphere is

______.
A. lakes C. rivers
B. rain D. rocks
5. Which among the choices clearly gives an example of connection

between hydrosphere and geosphere?
A. boats transporting goods C. water evaporating to make clouds
B. fish swimming in water D. waves eroding rocks on beach
32
ACTIVITIES (Wednesday-Friday)
PART I. Create a Venn Diagram that compares the
characteristics of Venus, Earth and Mars.
33
PART II. Earth Day generally falls in the third week of April.
There are a lot of great lessons about how our behavior and
activity affect others and our planet.
List down ten (10) activities that you can do to save planet
Earth and identify those activities as a form of recycling,
reducing, or reusing.
34
PART III. The human population has increased rapidly
since the 1700’s. For most of human history, there were
fewer than half-billion people on Earth. In mid- 2009, 6.7
billion people inhabited our planet. Because of these,
extensive pollution is everywhere. As a student, what can
you do to save not only a particular system, but the Earth
itself? Write your answer in the table.
