PRELIMINARIES/ INTRODUCTION 5 minutes

Present slide number 5 and tell the learners that they will learn the possible causes of Slides crafted using
plate movement and recognize the process of convection current in the mantle. Make them Canva and Self-
aware that this module contains different activities that will help them understand the driving Learning Module

ENGAGE 10 minutes

In this part, learners are given the convection mantle vocabulary on page 4-5 of the Slides crafted using
module. Vocabulary words are intentionally written in jumbled letters for them to arrange, Canva and Self-
guided by the description or definition of each word. These words are important in the Learning Module
discussion of mantle convection. Present slide numbers 6-10. (What’s New)

EXPLORE 1 hour

To motivate the learners in accomplishing all the tasks in this module, discuss Plate Slides crafted using
Tectonic Theory and Convection in the Mantle on pages 5-7 of the module. Please guide the Canva and Self-
learners, ask if they understand the concept. Present slide numbers 11-15 Learning Module

For practical application of the lesson, present slide numbers 22 and 22. Learners should Slides crafted using
read the paragraph on how to cook rice cake or what we call palitaw. Explain the process of Canva Self-Learning
cooking it. Then, learners can now sketch the convection current occurring in making the said Module
rice cake. Remind the learners to refer to the scoring rubric on page 12 of the module to give
you idea on how your work will be graded.
