LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET (LAS) IN SCIENCE 9 (QUARTER 3, WEEK 1)

MODULE 1: TYPES OF VOLCANOES AND VOLCANIC ERUPTION
Name: Score:

Section: Date:

Most Essential Learning Competency:

 Describe the different types of volcanoes and volcanic eruption

Lesson Overview:
You have learned in previous grade level that the Philippines is along the Pacific ring of fire. It is situated at the
boundaries of two tectonic plates-the Philippine Sea plate and the Eurasian plate- both plates dive beneath the
archipelago along the deep trenches along its east and west seaboard. This explains why the Philippines is an ideal site
for earthquake and volcanic activities.
As you move on to this activity, you will be able to describe the different types of volcanoes and volcanic
eruption.

Activity 1: Volcanoes in the Philippines

Objectives:
1. Classify volcanoes as active or inactive.
2. Plot the locations of active and inactive
volcanoes in a map using latitude and longitude.
3. Differentiate active from inactive volcano.

Materials: Philippine map, colored pen, triangular

rules

Procedure:
1. Using a Philippine map, plot the locations of the
given volcanoes on the table below. Assign colors
for each volcano and indicate this on your legend.
2. Answer the guide questions given and write it in
your separate sheet of paper.

Guide Questions:
Q1. Are all the volcanoes found in the same
location?
Q2. Which of the volcanoes has the greatest
number of eruptions? Least
number of eruptions? No record of eruption?
Q3. How will you classify volcanoes with 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 2: Types of Volcanoes

Directions: Draw the three types of volcanoes according to their cone shapes in LONG BOND PAPER. Your output will
be graded based on the given rubrics below

Activity 3: Types of Volcanic Eruption

Directions: Choose and utilize the appropriate words that describe each type from the given table. Describe the different types of
volcanic eruption.
