I.OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson the learners will be able to:
1. Describe the possible causes of the plate
movement
1. Demonstrate the concept of convection current
2. Relate convection current and internal structure of
the Earth to the plate movements

lesson or presenting the new
lesson 1. What are the three layers of the earth?
2. Hot molten materials in a convection cell rises
near the____.
3. The idea that Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into
separate plates that float on the mantle is the
theory of____.
4. Tectonic plates ride on_____.
5. Which of the following is NOT a method of heat
transfer?

C. (ENGAGE ) Establishing a Assessment: What’s new?

purpose for the lesson 1. tmnael _____________________________
A layer beneath where the less dense hot molten
? material rises, and sinks
2. thprehaeosens _______________
D. Presenting examples/instances of A soft, weak and plastic-like layer, the upper part
the new lesson of the mantle where lithospheric plates float and
move.
Setting of objectives

At the end of the lesson the learners will
be able to:
1.Describe the possible causes of the plate
movement
2.Demonstrate the concept of convection
current
3.Relate convection current and internal
structure of the Earth to the plate
movements.
Unlocking of terms
Current- Continuous movement of fluids
in the same direction
Convection- movements of fluid in which
the warmer parts move up and the colder
parts move down
E. (EXPLORE) Discussing new
concepts and practicing #1
3. mmgaa ______________
Hot molten rocks 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.
The class will be divided into 4 groups, and they will do
an experiment about convection current.
CONVECTION CURRENT EXPERIMENT
Materials:
-Food Coloring/ Juice Powder (Color red and yellow)
- Four empty bottles
- Plastic card
-Hot water and Cold water
-Camera
Procedure:
1. Mix the food coloring (yellow) to cold water and
put into an empty bottle and label it as (COLD)
2. Mix the other food coloring (red) to hot water and
put it into the other bottle and label it as (HOT)
3. Put the bottle with hot water into a flat surface
and cover it with the plastic card.
4. Put the opening of the bottle with the cold water
to the top of the plastic card.
5. Remove the card slowly
6. Let it mix and observe what happen. Record what
happen.
7. Repeat procedure 1 and 2 again in different
bottles
8. This time, the cold water will be put on a flat
surface and cover it with plastic card
9. Put the hot water bottle on the top of the plastic
card.
10. Slowly remove the plastic card
11. Observe and document what happen to the fluid
Guide Question:
1. What happen if you put the hot water on the flat
 surface and the cold water on the top of it?

2. What happen if you do the vice versa?

3. By doing the experiment, what conclusion can

you draw about convection current?

4. In what layer of the Earth does convection current

occur?

5. What do you think is the role of the convection

current to the plate movements?

F. (EXPLAIN) Discussing new The students will explain their activity and will be rated
concepts and practicing # 2 based on the rubric that their teacher provides.
(Leads to formative assessment)

The teacher will show a video to the students to elaborate

G. ELABORATE the concept of convection current

The teacher will give a 10-item multiple choice quiz to

H. (EVALUATE) Evaluating assess the learning of the students.
Learning

Each group will make a diorama of the ocean floor

I. (EXTEND) Additional
activities for application or
remediation
