 Attendance Checked
 Setting of House Rules
 English Integration(Literacy)
* Each group (Science Grouping) will construct a sentence stating
the house rule that they are going to adhere during the entire
session.
*They are going to write the house rule they’ve made in the manila
paper, read and show it in the class.

B. Review
Random Oral Participation

The teacher will call random students to answer the questions.

1. Have you heard about the Pacific Ring of Fire? What is your idea
about it?
2. Have you watched the news about the terrible volcanic eruption of
Pinatubo Volcano in 1992? What about the news nowadays about a
certain volcanic eruption? Can you tell me about it?

C. Motivation

Picture Puzzle
1. Divide the class into 3 groups.
2. Provide each group with the cut-outs of pictures of different volcanoes in
the Philippines.
3. Within 2 minutes let the group form the pictures and identify the name of
the volcano.
4. The first group who will be able to finish first will be the winner.

D. Presentation of the Lesson

The teacher will present and discuss the lesson objectives.

The Philippines is located along the Ring of Fire. As a result, it is a

home to many volcanoes. The most famous among our volcanoes is the
Mayon Volcano that has erupted last May 7, 2013 while a group of hikers
were exploring its beauty. Who could forget the terrible eruption of
Pinatubo Volcano in 1992 after 600 years of inactivity? Based on statistics,
in the first five years following the eruption, lahars destroyed the homes of
more than 100,000 people. Lahars also covered about 120,000 hectares
with sediment to an average depth of about one meter, and floods spread
rock debris over a larger area.The eruption also affected other countries
as its emissions in the atmosphere lowered the air temperature. According
 to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS),
our country is an ideal site for any volcanic activity. It is therefore,
important for us to know how this natural phenomenon happens to reduce
the risks and effects it may cause.

E. Lesson Proper

4. Group presentation will follow

Differentiated Instruction according to task

Group 1
Activity 1. Volcano concept map

Materials: pictures of a volcano paper and pen

Procedure:
Q1. Based on the picture, give five descriptions of a volcano. Present your
answer in a concept map as shown below.
 Q2. Based on the three pictures, identify and describe the three main
types of volcanoes: stratovolcano/composite volcano, cinder cone volcano,
and shield volcano.

Activity 2. Volcanoes in the Philippines

Materials: Philippine map, colored pens, and ruler

Procedure: 1. Using the Philippine map (fig. 3), plot the location of the following
volcanoes. Assign colors for the volcanoes. Indicate this in the legend .

Table 1. List of some volcanoes in the Philippines

Q1. Are all the volcanoes found in the same location?
Q2. Which of the volcanoes had the most number of eruptions? least number
of eruptions? no record of eruption?
Q3. How will you classify the volcanoes that have records of eruptions?
Q4. How will you classify volcanoes with no record of eruption?
Q5. In your own words, differentiate an active volcano from an inactive one.
 Activity 3
How Do Volcanoes Erupt and What are the Benefits?

Materials: any materials depending on the group’s creativity

Procedure:
Show the importance of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions through a
drama/song/TV show.

ANALYSIS
Presentation of group output
(After the discussion the teacher will ask the class for questions or any
clarifications)

ABSTRACTION
Discussion (Please refer to the PowerPoint presentation)
(After the presentation the teacher will ask the students if they have questions
or things they want to clarify.)

APPLICATION

ESP
Despite their destructive power, volcanoes actually come with their share of
benefits like soil enrichment, volcanic land formations, volcanic minerals and
stones, global cooling, hotsprings and geothermal energy.

HISTORY
The world’s largest volcanic eruption to happen in the past 100 years was the
June 15, 1991, eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.

ARAL. PAN.
Mount Mayon is a classic stratovolcano with a small central summit crater.
The cone is considered the world’s most perfectly formed volcano for it’s
symmentry. It is one of the popular tourist spots in the province of Albay.

AGRICULTURE
Volcanic deposits can develop into some of the richest agricultural lands on
earth.
 ECONOMICS
Most of the volcanoes are tourist spots. In that case, it can contribute to our
economy because people flock in that scenery.

ENGINEERING
Volcanoes are a great source of geothermal energy which is a renewable
source of energy.

CURRENT EVENTS
Alert level 1 raised over Mt. Pinatubo, no imminent eruption – PHIVOLCS

Communities and concerned local government units surrounding Mt. Pinatubo

were told to be always prepared for both earthquake and volcanic hazards
and to review their disaster preparedness plans.

DRRM (Disaster Risk Reduction and Management)

Here are some tips to help you prepare for earthquakes under the 'new
normal'
Earthquake and volcanic eruption preparedness tips during a pandemic
DOST Undersecretary Renato Solidum Jr, who is Phivolcs Officer-in-Charge, said
earthquake evacuation should be prioritized over a stay-at-home order if the situation
calls for it. He also gave the following tips:

1. Prepare an emergency survival bag or “Go Bag” containing health-related

personal protective equipment such as face masks and sanitation solutions, and
other essentials for survival including easy-to-prepare and non-perishable food
2. In the event of an earthquake, “drop, cover, and hold” until the shaking stops
3. When vacating a building after an earthquake, remember to bring your “Go Bag”
and wear a face mask
4. As much as possible, physical distancing of at least one meter must be observed
throughout the evacuation

F. Valuing (H.O.T.S)
