IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new Recall yesterday’s lesson
lesson Show a picture of the Earth to the class
(Elicit)

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson Can you describe what’s beneath the Earth?
(Engage) Solicit idea from the students
C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson Introduce the topic: Composition of the
(Explore) Earth’s interior to the students

Earth’s Cross Section

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1 What are the different layers of the Earth?
(Explain)
Table 1 shows the relative thickness of the
different layers of the Earth (Math
Integration: Interpreting and Analysing Data)
Layer Thickness in
kilometres
Crust 40
Mantle 2900
Outer Core 2200
Inner Core 1278
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2 What are the elements found in the different
(Explain) layers of the Earth? (English and Math
Integration: Reading Comprehension and
Interpreting Data)
 1. Divide the class into three groups
2. Each member of the group will read the
selection from their textbook on pp 48-51
3. Each group will be given 5 minutes to read
about the selection assigned to them
4. After the given time, a representative from
each group will answer the question posted
by the teacher on the slide

Group A: Crust
Group B: Mantle
Group C: Core (Outer and Inner Core)

F. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 3 What is the importance of studying the
(Explain) Earth’s interior?
G. Developing mastery
(Leads to formative Assessment 3) What are the four layers of the Earth?
(Elaborate)
H. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in How did the scientist come to know that the
daily living outer core is liquid?
(Extend) As a student, how does this studying of the
Earth’s interior affects you?
I. Making generalization and abstractions about the How do you compare the densities of the four
lesson layers of the Earth?
J. 1. Evaluating learning Let’s Connect!
(Evaluation) MAPEH and ENGLISH Integration
( 10 minutes)

1. Divide the class into three groups

2. Each group will be given 5 minutes to do
and compose their own lyrics about different
layers of the Earth
3. Each group will perform and present their
output through a song, poem, speech choir
and rap music
4. Rubrics will be used in assessing the group’s
performance (see attached)
2. Application Question Is the inner core solid, liquid or gas? What
keeps it in this phase?
K. Additional activities for application or remediation If you will be given a chance to remodel the
Earth what will it be? How do you come up
with that model?
