B. Recall
1. Complete the paragraphs below with the appropriate words.
A. Divergence of plates results to the creation of down faulted valleys called ________________
(rift valleys, oceanic ridges) and underwater mountain ranges called _____________ (rift valleys,
oceanic ridges). At the tension zone, materials from the mantle may rise to the surface of the
ocean floor, cools down and become new __________ (crust, mantle).
B. When plates slide past each other, the movement can cause an _______________ (earthquake,
storm). A crack on the ground called ___________ (fault, trench) if formed.

C. Motivation
1. Arrange the scrambled letters below to form the word defined in each number.
1. TMNAEL- A layer below where the less dense hot molten material rises, and sinks.
2. THPREHAEOSENS- A soft, weak, and plastic-like layer, the upper o the mantle where
lithospheric plats float and move.
3. MMGAA- Hot molten rocked formed beneath the Earth’s surface.
4. NOITCEVNOC CTUNRRE- Facilitates the movement of the lithospheric plates.
5. ORCE- The innermost layer of the Earth, which generates heat to the mantle.

 Answers:
1. MANTLE
2. ASTHENOSPHERE
3. MAGMA
4. CONVECTION CURRENT

5. CORE

D. Discussion

a. Let the students work with their groupmates in creating a model of the seafloor.
b. Explain the procedure of the activity, “A Model of Seafloor”. (See attached pages)
c. Facilitate the students to assure that they will obtain the correct model of the seafloor and
the correct answers to the guide questions

E. Developing Mastery

a. Discuss the concepts of seafloor spreading by going over the answers of students to the guide
questions.
b. Let the students watch a video of an experiment on convection current in the mantle.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHr7ESa3_VA)
c. Answer the following questions:
- What did you observe on the movement of water?
- What happens to the blocks?
- What does this resemble?

F. Application
- If the plates are moving slowly, where might be the location of the Philippines million
years from now?
- What would happen if the core suddenly stops heating the mantle?

G. Evaluation
A. Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer.
1. The process of _____________ continually adds new crust to the ocean floor along both sides of
the mid-oceanic ridge.
A. Continental ridge
B. Plate tectonics
C. Sea- floor spreading
D. Convection
2. What two words are BEST used to describe how the seafloor spreads?
A. Magma and convection
B. Magma and subduction
C. Earthquakes and convection
D. Volcanoes and earthquakes
3. Scientists believe that the motion of tectonic plate is caused by ___________.
A. pressure of the Earth’s crust
B. conveyor belts
C. convection currents
D. heat in the Earth’s core

5. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true about the convection current that occurs in the
mantle?

I. The convection current occurs due to the difference in temperature

between the upper and lower mantle.
II. The convection current most likely cause the uprising of the hot materials
from the lower mantle and may had cause the division of the lithospheric
plates.
III. The less dense materials caused the materials from the lower mantle to
move up and formed the granite rocks that caused the crust to move.
IV. The core heats the mantle, producing convection cells and initiating the
process of slab pull and ridge push.

A. I and III
B. II and IV
C. I and II
D. II and III

Home- Direction: Arrange the following events in the mantle convection process. Use numbers 1-5.
Based _______ Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to the rising and sinking of materials.
Activities _______ The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth.
_______ Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.
_______ Heat moves from the core.
_______ The process repeats the cycle.

Day 2
Objectives At the end of the session, the students should be able to:
 discuss how ridge push and slab pull cause plate movement,
 explain the causes of plate movement based on Seafloor Spreading Theory,
 arrange the given words in the paragraph to further understand how plates move, and
 be aware to the importance of studying the mechanism of plate movement to the people and to the whole
world.
