SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN

Date & Time: October 17, 2022(Monday, 7:45 AM – 8:45 AM) Grade & Section: Grade 10 – 1

A. Content: Processes and Landforms along Plate Boundaries

B. Content Standards: Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship among the locations of

volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges
C. Performance Standards: The learner shall be able to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes,
tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
D. Learning Competency: Explain the different processes that occur along plate boundaries S10LT-Ia-j-
36.3
I. Objectives:
At the end of the session, the students will be able to:

a. Compare and contrast the continental crust from the oceanic crust based on their thickness, density and
temperature (Cognitive)

b. Explore the various effect of plate tectonics on the Earth’s lithosphere (Affective)

c. Appreciate the formation of the different geologic landforms on Earth (Psychomotor)

II. Subject Matter: Science 10

A. References: K to 12 Teaching Guide pp.12

K to 12 learning Modules, pp.16,

Grade 10 Science Textbook

B. Materials: AVP, Pictures, Visual Aids, manila paper, marker, chalk and board.

III. Procedures:

a. Routine Activities
• Prayer (multimedia)
• Greetings (in Magbukon language)
• Classroom Management (check the orderliness)
• Checking of Attendance (in Magbukon language)
•. Reminders
 b. Review:
(Group the Class into two groups. The group will be used during the whole period.)

4 Pics 1 Word Game

4 Pics 1 Word (Free) is a word guessing game. It presents you

with four pictures and then tasks you with guessing what
specific word fits with the theme of the photos presented.

 Present the images. Let them guess what the picture all about. All words are associated
with the previous lessons. The first student to stand and guess the correct answer will get
1 stamp.

MOUNTAIN PLATE VOLCANO

CONTINENT OCEAN

c. Motivation
The teacher asks the following questions to connect previous lesson to present:
1. How many lithospheric or crustal plates our planet Earth have?
2. How do these plates classified?
3. What are the bases of dividing the lithospheric plates?
4. What are the three different types of plate boundaries? Describe each of this type.

IV. Lesson Proper

Explain the topic using the following guide questions:

1. Which is thicker, the continental crust or the oceanic crust?

2. Which is denser, the continental crust or the oceanic crust?

3. What has higher temperature, the continental crust or the oceanic crust?

4. What happens when two adjacent plates move towards (converge) each other?

5. What happens when two adjacent plates move away (diverge) from each other?
 The main difference between Oceanic crust and Continental crust is their composition and
properties. Both of them are the uppermost layer of Earth but they have differences between them.

Parameters of Comparison Oceanic crust Continental crust

Density High density Low density

Thickness Thinner Thicker

Ability to float Scarcely floats Freely floats

Type of rocks Basalt rock Granite rock

Ability to recycle Has the ability to recycle. Do not have the ability to recycle.

Using the provided materials and a Venn Diagram, each group must be able show the comparison between
Continental Crust and Oceanic Crust. Upon finishing the activity, the group must shout the word “DARNA”
or “NARDA”. The first group to shout will be given badge and will be the first to present their work.
(Interactive learning)

Generalization:

Oceanic crust is found under oceans, and it is about four miles thick in most places. A feature unique to
oceanic crust is that there are areas known as mid-ocean ridges where oceanic crust is still being created.
Magma shoots up through gaps in the ocean’s floor here. As it cools, it hardens into new rock, which forms
brand new segments of oceanic crust. Since oceanic crust is heavier than continental crust, it is constantly
sinking and moving under continental crust.

Continental crust varies between six and 47 miles in thickness depending on where it is found. Continental
crust tends to be much older than the oceanic kind, and rocks found on this kind of crust are often the oldest
in the world. Examples of such rocks are those in Quebec, Canada which are estimated to be about 4 billion
years old.

V. Application
Picture Tour (Integration)

MT. PINATUBO TAAL VOLCANO HUNDRED ISLANDS

 MAYON VOLCANO CHOCOLATE HILLS

1. In your Araling Panlipunan, you have learned that our country has an amazing land formations such as
mountains, volcanoes, hills, valleys and many others, how these were formed?

2. As a student, how can you take pride on these beautiful natural landscapes?

VI. Evaluation:
“Success is a combination of hard work, determination, and faith.”
J.B.Esguerra

A. Modified TRUE or FALSE.

Write FACT if the statement is true and BLUFF if it is false.
1. Continental crust is thinner than the oceanic crust. (BLUFF)
2. Oceanic crust is found under oceans, and it is about four miles thick in most places. (FACT)
3. Because continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust it floats higher on the mantle, just like
a piece of Styrofoam floats higher on water than a piece of wood does. (FACT)
4. The mantle, oceanic crust, and continental crust all have different compositions due to a process
called partial melting. (FACT)
5. Granite rock is rich in constituents like silicon, aluminum, and oxygen. (FACT)

VII. Assignment
Make post card that will inform local folks about the relative impact of geological activities caused
by seafloor spreading. (Constructivism, Collaborative and Reflective)
