This work attempts to prove that the Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) can significantly address the least mastered skills and learning competencies from the K-12 curriculum guide. Different and multiple activities were created in order to improve and help the pupil understand difficult concepts about the subject. Assessments were made and subjected to parallel testing.
The activities were finalized and administered in an Elementary School, with 23 Grade IV pupils as respondents. The mean, mastery and performance level on the actual lesson and the utilization of SIM were computed. Moreover, results were compared. The mastery and performance level before and after the use of the Strategic Intervention Material were interpreted. It showed that there was a significant difference on the mastery and performance levels of pupils. This suggests that the utilization of SIM helps the pupils to master the difficult and least mastered competencies.

Excerpt from the Book
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SIM
Thisinnovation aims to improve pupil’s performance level using multiple activities. This also aims to help teachers provide extra support to pupils for them to have opportunities to explore their understanding and make sense of this scientific concepts.
Specifically, this sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is the mastery and performance level of grade four pupils in Science along heat transfer on their actual lesson?
2. What is the mastery and performance level of grade four pupils in Sciencd along heat transfer after the utilization of the Strategic Intervention Material?
