Abstract : The test was administered to 79 Grade 11 and 12 TVL Maritime students, who showed a reasonable overall performance, with Grade 11 students outperforming Grade 12 students, indicating stronger information retention and motivation at the earlier stage. Four contextualized lesson plans aligned with DepEd's MELCs were developed, integrating Earth and Life Science principles with navigation practices. These serve as both instructional tools and resources for disaster risk reduction and maritime safety, highlighting the value of multidisciplinary education in producing scientifically literate and navigationally skilled seafarers.

Keywords : Science Education, Maritime Education, Interdisciplinary Learning, Descriptive Research, Central Philippines.
