Curriculum Coverage Map

Every lesson in this package is built against the K–12 Junior High School Science Curriculum. This map shows, for each of the 15 learning competencies, its official DepEd content standard (what learners must know) and performance standard (what they must be able to do), alongside the lessons and the performance task that address it — through the lens of the Cry of Jelicuon Festival.

Performance tasks are authored one per module/topic, in line with how DepEd states performance standards per topic and quarter rather than per individual competency.
