I. Context and Rationale
Science is an area of the curriculum that plays a central role in the development
of children’s logical and critical thinking abilities. It is widely viewed as being a difficult
subject, both by pupils and primary teachers and children’ s understanding of science is
a major concern for educators (Lewthwaite, 2011). There have been numerous studies
worksheets were generally investigated (Yildirim, 2011). Worksheets can be a good way
to practice drill skills. Depending on the organization of the worksheet, they may also
help students if they have visuals and more open space instead of crowding a lot of text
into a condensed area like textbooks or some articles can do (Duryea. 2017). This study
will determine the effectiveness of using worksheets in teaching Earth and Life Science
among Grade 11 HUMSS students at La Union National High School Senior High
School. The result of this study will serve as a strong basis in the formulation and
modification of new teaching strategies which will prove useful in the teaching-learning
process. Specifically, it will answer the research queries on the degree of effectiveness
of using worksheets in teaching earth and life science among Grade 11 HUMSS
students of LUNHS SHS. The descriptive developmental research design will be used
with the questionnaire as the data gathering tool. The researcher will gather data from
80 students. This study will also assess the degree of effectiveness of worksheets on
the mastery of content, mastery of skills, innovation and value formation of Grade 11
HUMSS students of LUNHS SHS. In the light of the findings, the researchers will
recommend the modification of the use of worksheets and the integration of values and
collaboration.

strengths and weaknesses). It serves three main purposes - the Classroom, Guidance
understanding of each student, allowing them to both shape the next steps to best help
the student reach the next phases of understanding and to track their own successes
2011).Worksheets can be a very good way to assess the level of understanding of our
students but worksheets alone can insufficiently help them achieve the desired learning
goals. Teacher-modified worksheets can help boost the learning capabilities of our
students. Learning should not only be limited to the acquisition of skills and knowledge
but also the formation of values and good character. Teachers must redesign
worksheets and other learning materials such that collaboration and values integration
are greatly emphasized. Worksheets must include both individual work (short quiz,
recitation, essay writing) and collaborative work (group reporting, group experiment,
worksheet in teaching ELS (Earth and Life Science) among grade 11 HUMSS students.
The research will be conducted on La Union National High School Senior High. This
use random sampling technique by using fishbowl method. Numbers will be assigned to
each section. The sections for experimental group and control group will be picked
randomly.
b) Data Gathering
The experimental groups will be given teacher-made worksheets for one chapter
and the control groups will not be given worksheets. The experimental and control
