I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners will able to:
a. Explain how plate tectonics form the physical characteristic of Earth’
surface
b. Draw the three types of plate boundaries
c. Appreciate the importance of plate movement in forming different
landforms
III. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Classroom Mood Setting
Hep-hep, Hoorayy!
2. Prayer
Please stand-up class for our prayer.
In the name of the Father… In the name of the Father…
Our Father, Who art in Heaven…
Amen. Amen.
3. Greetings
Good morning, children! Good morning, teacher!
4. Classroom Management
Before you take your seats, please turn Yes, teacher!
to your left, to your right, then look up,
and look down. Please pick-up some
pieces of trash if you see one and throw
it in the trash bin. Understood?
You may now take your seats. (The students are seated)
Yes! Very good! Can you follow our Yes, teacher indeed.
classroom rules, class?
5. Attendance
Let me check now who is present and
absent today. Make sure that you are
sitting at your assigned chair, because
I’m checking your attendance.
(The teacher continuously monitors the
attendance)
Very good, nobody is absent.
6. Review
Let us have first a quick review for our
last discussion. So, what was our topic Our topic last meeting is about
last meeting? earthquake, teacher!
B. Motivational
Okay children, I have here
pictures/maps.
Well done!
Very good!
D. Discussion
What could be the possible reason(s)
why the world map of today is very “Because of the natural disasters
different from billion years ago? teacher”
Very good!
Can you name the present-day (Asia, Africa, North America, South
continents? America, Antarctica, Europe, and
Australia)
Many evidence seem to support the
continental drift theory. One of these
evidences is the fit of the continents.
The coastlines of North America and
South America and those of Europe and
Africa, form a perfect match. The
matching coastline suggest that they
were once connected to one another,
and they are now separated because of
continental drift. Another evidence is the
similarity in the rock layers, tillites, and
fossils found in different continents.
Seafloor Spreading
(Present diagram)
Divergent Boundaries
The place where two plates meet is
called boundary. When two or more
plates move away from each other,
divergent boundaries are formed. This
is where the lithosphere is being pulled
apart.
Convergent Boundaries
Plates may also collide with each other
and form a convergent boundary. This
happens when one plate is subducted
or moves beneath another plate.
Transform-Fault Boundaries
Transform-fault boundaries are where
two plates slide past each other in
opposite directions. Most of these faults
are found on the ocean floor. A few,
however, occur on land. A good
example of this type is the famous San
Andreas Fault in California, U.S.A.
E. Generalization
To check your understanding for our
today’s lesson, let us have quick review.
Continental Drift Theory, Seafloor
What are the theories formulated to Spreading, Theory of Plate Tectonics
explain the changes in Earth’s crust?
Pangaea
Under the Continental Drift Theory,
what is the name of the supercontinent? Puzzle like “fit of the continents”,
similarity in the rock layers, tillites, and
fossils.
What are the evidences that that
Pangaea exist? Ocean floor is extended when two
plates move apart.
What is the process of seafloor
spreading? Divergent, Convergent, and Transform-
fault boundaries
What are the mechanism under theory
of Plate Tectonic?
F. Application
Direction: Identify what is being ask. Divergent Plate Boundary
IV. Evaluation
Direction: Complete the table below and write the specific term.
Plate Movement Plate Boundary What is formed?
1. Convergent boundary Mountains
2. 3. Mid-Atlantic Ridge
V. Assignment
Research and study about Volcanic activities and Earthquakes.
