A Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Teaching

Earth and Life Science
Grade 11

I. Objectives
At the end of the Two (2) hour session, the students should be able to:
A. describes how rocks behave under different types of stress such as compression,
tension, and shearing;
B. distinguish compression, tension (pulling apart), and shearing from each other;
C. create illustration of how the rocks behave under different types of stress; and
D. show accuracy in describing and distinguishing how the rocks behave under different types of
stress.

II. Subject Matter: Compressional, Tensional and Shearing Tectonic Forces

III. Instructional Materials:

A. CG Code: S11/12ES-IId-27
B. Earth and Life Sciences Textbook pp.85-94
C. Visual aids, White Board Marker, Cartolina

IV. Method: 4A’s

V. Strategies
A. Question and Answer
B. Discussion Method
C. Independent Evaluation

VI. Values: Accuracy

VII. Lesson Proper

A. Routines:
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Checking of Attendance

B. Review

The teacher will ask the students about their previous lesson if what they had learn.

C. Activity
 July 9,2018
Instruction: The teacher will show pictures to the students using the powerpoint
presentation. And students will determine the pictures whether it is a product of the pull, push or
slide direction (tectonic forces) of the rocks. In this activity the students will answer it individually.
The student who can get the correct answer will receive points.

Picture 1 to Picture 10

D. Analysis

Ask: What did the students observed in the activity?

At this phase, the teacher will discuss the lesson in relation to the activity the students done a
while ago and also the teacher will discuss the important terms to remember in the topic
compressional, tensional, and shearing tectonic forces .The teacher will show the students the
differences of how rocks behave under different types of stress and gives specific example so that
students would directly understand the lesson.

E. Abstraction

At this phase, the teacher will discuss the topic.

 Important terms to remember:

 Compressional forces – push rocks together and can bend (fold) rocks or cause rocks
to break and slide along the breakage zone (fault).
 Tensional forces – pull rocks apart and may also lead to the breaking and shifting of
rock masses along faults.
 Shearing forces – slide rocks past each other horizontally and this likewise can cause
movement along a fault.

 Examples of Compressional Forces

(The teacher will show pictures and sites in the world that will show all about
Compressional Forces)

 Examples of Tensional Forces

(The teacher will show pictures and sites in the world that will show all about Tensional
Forces)

 Examples of Shearing Forces

(The teacher will show pictures and sites in the world that will show all about Shearing
Forces)

In general, compression is tectonic forces that push two areas of crustal rocks together tend to
shorten and thicken the crust and the affected rocks respond to compressional forces depends on how

brittle the rocks are and the speed with which the forces are applied. Folding, which is bending or
crumpling of rock layers, occurs when compressional forces are applied rocks that are ductile, as
supposed to brittle.

On the other hand, tensional forces pull in opposite directions in a way that stretches and thins
the impacted part of the crust. Rocks, however, typically respond to tensional force by faulting, rather
than bending or stretching plastically.

And the third type of tectonic forces is Shearing it is a vertical displacement along a fault occurs
when the rocks on one side move up or drop down in relation to rocks on the other side. Rocks respond
to shearing force by faulting.

F. Application

1. Distinguish the different types of stress such as compressional, tensional, and shearing
tectonic forces. (10 points)

2. Create an illustration of how the rocks behave under different types of stress.
(10 points)

VIII. Assignment

Advance study on the layers of the Earth.
