Educ 3 Activity: Systematic Approach to teaching

Subject: Earth and Life Science

Grade: 11
Title of Presentation: The Internal Structure of the Earth
A. Objectives:
1. Identify the different layers of the Earth;
2. To create a model of the layers of the Earth;
3. Appreciate the importance of Earth crust to our everyday life.
B. Methods
1. Lecture and Demonstration
2. Digital Virtual Presentation
3. Cooperative learning
4. Inquiry method
C. Experiences
1. Experience in proper demonstration with lectures of the different layers of the
Earth.
2. Experience in proper presentation of Earth structure thru digital virtual
presentation to further explain and show proper images.
3. Experience to make a replica of the Earth structure.
D. Materials, Equipment Facilities
1. Laptop
2. Internet Connection
3. Video Presentation
4. PowerPoint presentation
5. 5 colors of clay
6. Pen
7. 5 Toothpick
8. Writing Materials
E. Assign Personal Roles
1. Learners
2. Teachers

F. Implement the Instruction:

1. Daily Routine Activities:
2. Motivation:
For motivation we are going to let the student play “4 pics 1 word”. We will be
flashing 4 pictures and below these pictures are scrambled letters which you will
arrange in order to form 1 word that represents the pictures. You will be given a
code for the slido application in order for you to write your answer. The first one
who got the correct answer will be given 50 pesos load through Gcash.
3. Presentation of the Lesson
A. Ask student the four major components of the Earth;
B. During presentation of the lesson we will discuss the following:
 Discuss the concentric layers of the earth.
 Discuss and differentiate the Outer and inner core, the Pressure freezing
and Lehmann Discontinuity.
 Discuss and differentiate the Upper and Lower mantle and the transition
zone
 Discuss the low-velocity zone, the Gutenberg Discontinuity and
Mohorovicic discontinuity.
 Discuss the Crust and show an acetate of materials that compose the
earth’s crust.
 Discuss the two parts of the crust.
C. We will show an acetate of the Earth’s structure and ask students to identify the
layers.

4. Application
We will ask our students to group themselves into 3 for the group activity.
When learning about the Earth’s layers, it helps to have a replica. In a
group of 3 you need to make an Earth’s layer Model with the use of Clay.
Use different colors of clay and toothpick to label the different layers of
Earth.
Rubrics:
 Creativity – 40%
Placement- 40%
Cleanliness- 20%
TOTAL of 100%

G. Evaluate Outcomes
1. Assess by giving a test which is identify the different layers of the Earth.
2. Declare the winner who has a good presentation of the Earth Structure replica.
3. Random oral recitation about the Earth structure like what are the 2 parts of
Mantle.
4. Random oral recitation about their reflection on the importance of the Earth crust
to our everyday life. (A short reflection).

H. Refine the Process

1. Assess if the objectives were attained. If yes, proceed to the next lesson and
repeat the cycle.
2. If objectives were not attained, conduct remedial measures:
 Ask students which part of the lesson is not clear or confusing.
 Focus on the areas they are having difficulty.
 Devoting more time to discuss those students who are having difficulty.
