General Science

About this book

From the machines we use to the environments we depend on, science helps explain how the world works. General Science connects physics, chemistry, life science, and Earth science with daily experiences, Philippine settings, and decisions affecting people and communities.

Following the Strengthened SHS curriculum, the book explores motion, machines, energy, light and sound, household chemicals, living systems, and the processes that shape Earth. Scientific inquiry links these ideas with practical concerns such as energy efficiency, chemical safety, ecosystem health, and disaster resilience. Learners interpret evidence, use models, investigate relationships, and consider solutions that respond to local needs and environmental challenges.
