A. ELICIT Good afternoon, class! Good afternoon, Ma’am!

Can you hear me clearly? Yes, ma’am!

Those people at the back, can you hear me? Yes, ma’am!

Okay, that’s great!

Please arrange your chairs and pick up any

scattered paper under your chairs.

So, before anything else, let’s pray first.

Who is our prayer leader? KARL Student raises his/her hand

Okay, please come in front.

(Student’s Prayer)
Thank you, (student’s name)!

Ms. Secretary, may I know who’s absent?

VANESSA No one is absent, ma’am!
Okay, that’s very nice!

So, how are you today?

Great, ma’am!
I’m glad that everyone has attended our class and
is feeling great today. I hope that you will always
feel great so that you will also do great in our class.

So before we start, I will first show you our

classroom rules.

• Listen to your teacher.

• Be attentive at all times.
• Raise your hand if you want to recite or say
something.
 • Respect one another
• Be courteous when speaking

Is that clear class?

Yes ma’am!

Okay, very good!

So, before we proceed to our discussion, let’s first

have a quick recap of our previous discussion.

Who among you can still remember our last topic?

(Student raises hand)
Yes, (Student’s name)?
NICOLE Yesterday, we tackled about
distribution of volcanoes,
earthquakes, and mountain ranges
ma’am.

That’s right. Very good!

In your own words, how will you describe a (Student raises hand)
volcano?

Yes, (Student’s name)? CRES Ma’am Volcano is a mountain

or hill, typically conical, having a
crater or vent through which lava,
rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas
are being erupted from the earth’s
That’s right, very good! crust.

How does earthquake affect humans and the (Student raises hand)
environment?
Yes, (Student’s name)? KENNETH Ma’am earthquake causes
destructions of properties,
infrastructures, and loss of lives.

That’s right, very good! And lastly, give some (Student raises hand)
examples of mountain ranges.

Yes, (Student’s name)? EPHREM Ma'am Sierra Madre

BENIGNO Himalayas

That’s right, very good!

It seems like you already mastered our last

discussion, and you are now ready to move on to
our next lesson.

But before that, let’s have some fun first with our
game entitled “Quake Meme Up!”

B. ENGAGE So class, are you ready for the fun part of this Yes, ma’am!
session?
 Okay! So I want to draw your attention to our
game “Quake Meme Up!”

Are you guys familiar with memes?

Yes, ma’am!

Of course, you are!

To start, I have prepared several Science Memes

that are related to our topic for today. Each meme
has its corresponding number and what you are
going to do is pick one from our choices and try to
explain or make sense about your chosen meme;
just a brief insight about it. Like what can you say
about it? What do you think about it?

In this game, class, the primary objective is to

stimulate your curiosity and encourage thoughtful
participation. Please note that answers will not be
immediately validated, as correctness will be
assessed through the ongoing discussion and
exploration of topics. So don’t be afraid to raise
your hand and share your insights. Are you ready?
Yes, ma’am!

PLEASE AGRECITE KAYO DITOY

(Flashing Science Memes)
(Student raises hand)
Very Good, Class! It seems like you have quite of a
knowledge about our topic for today. But have
you ever wondered how these faults and
No, ma’am!
earthquakes are created and why they are located
in their particular location?

No? Okay, don’t worry because today we are going

to find out “how” and “why” through our little
experiment.

But before that, what are we expected to BENIGNO

accomplished today? At the end of the lesson, we should
be able to:
• Identify the types of plate
(Flashing the learning objectives) boundaries and their
interactions.
• Name the different geological
features as results of plate
interactions.
• Create a 3D model of the
three types of plate
boundaries.
• Appreciate the types of plate
boundaries by giving insights
to the formation of the
different geological features
as results of plate
interactions.

Thank you, student’s name! So let us now proceed

to our little experiment.
C. EXPLORE Okay class, for this experiment, I asked you to Yes, ma’am!
bring your Oreo cookies. Right?

May I see who brought their cookies?

Good!

Does everyone have Oreo Cookies?

Yes, ma’am.

Let’s start!

Open your pack of Oreo carefully so you won’t

break the cookies inside, and remember you are (Students perform the step)
not allowed to eat it yet.

Are you done? Yes, ma’am.

Great! Our first step for this experiment is to

distinguish and familiarize the different parts of
our model. As you can see in our presentation, the
upper cookie will represent the lithosphere. The
creamy filling will represent the asthenosphere and
the lower cookie is the mantle.

Next is to carefully remove the upper cookie. A

twisting motion is required. Slide the upper cookie
(Students perform the step)
over the creamy filling. This motion, class,
simulates the movement of a rigid lithospheric
plates over the softer asthenosphere.

Third step, break the upper cookie in half. Are you

Yes, ma’am.
done?

And for our fourth step, gently push down the two
pieces and slide them apart.
Yes, ma’am.
Are you guys following?

Let me see?
(Students will show their cookies)
Very good!

So now, what do you think will happen to the

creamy fillings? Can you share your idea (Student’s
name)?
HAROLD Ma’am I observed that when
we pushed down the broken upper
cookie that resembles the plates,
the creamy filling between the two
broken plates may tend to flow
upward.

Very good, (Student’s name)! You are a keen

observer.

For the next step, using the same Oreo cookie,
slowly push the two pieces toward each other.
What can you observe about the creamy filling and
the upper cookie as the two pieces slide together?
What do you notice (Student’s name)?
ERICA Ma’am I noticed that when we
pushed down the two pieces toward
each other, the creamy filling as
well as the two pieces will crumple
and pushed upward.

Nice observation!

And for the last step, try sliding the two pieces JOANNA Ma’am I noticed that the
laterally past one another over the creamy filling. edges do
What do you notice about the cookie edges? not slide smoothly past one another.
(Student’s name)?
 Excellent, class! So based on that experiment, I
assume that you already know our topic. Yes, ma’am!

Okay, (Student’s name). You are the one who says

Yes! So, what do you think is our topic for today?
RONA Ma’am in our experiment, the
upper
cookie represents the plates, and the
creamy filling represents the
asthenosphere. And then you
instructed as to move or manipulate
the upper cookie in different ways.
So, I assume ma’am that our topic for
today has something to do with the
interactions of plates and where
those plates meet.

Exactly, (Student’s name)! Because our topic is all

about Plate Boundaries.

But before we dig deeper, please set aside your

Oreo cookies; you can eat it after our class. And
please pick up any crumbles in your places. Thank
you.

D. EXPLAIN Class, have you seen a jigsaw puzzle?

Yes, Ma’am!
If yes, I want you to imagine it. I want you to
imagine what a jigsaw puzzle looks like. Because
class, in some ways, our planet Earth resembles a
giant jigsaw puzzle. That is because the Earth’s
outer surface is composed of tectonic plates which
are enormous sections of the planet’s crust that
roughly fit together and meet at places called Plate
Boundaries.

Can anyone share their ideas about plate MARIANNE Plate boundaries are
boundaries? found at the edge of the lithospheric
plates
Correct!

Plate boundaries are the lines at the edges of the

different pieces of the lithosphere. Earth’s
lithosphere moves slowly and constantly over
time. And this movement causes the formation of (Students are attentively listening)
plate boundaries, namely Divergent, Convergent,
and Transform Fault Boundaries.

In the first step of our experiment, the two pieces NICOLE This demonstrates
of cookies represent the lithospheric plates. When a Divergent
we pushed down the plates and slide them apart, Boundary.
the creamy filling between the two broken plates
may tend to flow upward. What type of plate
boundaries is demonstrated?

Excellent!

Divergent plate boundaries commonly occur under

water. When this happens, earthquake will occur,
and molten rocks rise from the Earth’s mantle to
the surface, and new crust will form. (Students are attentively listening)
And on land, divergent boundaries within
continents initially produce rifts which produce rift MARICRES A rift is a lowland region
valleys. Does anyone of you know what rift is? that forms when two plates move away
from each other.

Correct! Later on, I will show you what rift or rift

valley looks like.

So, do you understand what Divergent Boundary is?

Yes, ma’am!
Moving on,

In the second part of the experiment, what type of

plate boundary is demonstrated?

LYKA It is a Convergent Boundary.

Yes, Very Good! (Student’s name)
The type of plate boundary that is demonstrated is
the convergent boundary. As you have observed,
the filling of the cookies which represents the
materials beneath the crust will be pushed
(Students are attentively listening)
upward. This happens when two plates are
colliding. Hence the name “Convergent Boundary.”

There are three types of Convergent Boundary. Any

KARL Ma’am the three types are
idea?
continental-continental, oceanic-
oceanic, and continental- oceanic.

Very good!

The collision can take place between two

continental plates, two oceanic plates, and
continental and oceanic plates.

In some cases, a convergent plate boundary can

result in one tectonic plate diving underneath
another.

Do you have any idea what process is this?

JANICA This process is called
Very Good! (Student’s name) subduction.

But take note that subduction depends on what

type of tectonic plates are involved.

The first type is the Continental-Continental Plate

boundary. In this type, two continental crusts
move toward each other.

When two continental plate meets, does

subduction occur?

PART NI MARICRES

No, ma’am.

Why?
 Because they are both less dense, so,
they will push each other upward
creating now the different geological
Correct! features such as towering mountain
ranges.
Is it clear?

Good! Yes, ma’am!

The second type of Convergent Plate Boundary is
the Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent Boundary.

Let us study the given picture.

In Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent boundary, is

subduction possible?
RONA Yes, ma’am!

Why do you say so?

RONA Since the two plates are both

dense, older oceanic plate subducts
under the younger oceanic plate.

Correct! When older plate subducts beneath the

other, it will create pressure and liquify the
material beneath the crust. The molten materials
will then push upward. This now creates ocean
trench, underwater volcanoes, and island arc.

The last type of convergent plate boundary is the

continental-oceanic convergent plate boundary.
One oceanic and one continental crust will move
toward each other.

If this happens is subduction still possible?

Yes, ma’am!
 Why?

KAYE Since oceanic plate is denser

than the continental plate, the
oceanic plate is pushed beneath the
less dense continental plate.

Exactly! With that, formation of volcanoes is

possible.

Understood?

Yes, ma’am!

Do you have any questions regarding the three

types of convergent plate boundary?

None, ma’am

Moving on, let us now tackle the last type of plate

boundary.

In the third step of the experiment, I asked you to

slide the two pieces laterally pass one another.
What type of plate boundary was demonstrated
with that motion? MONICA Transform Plate Boundary.

Can you describe the movement of the two

plates?
ERICA Ma’am they move slip past each
other and the movement was not
smooth at all since their edges are so
rough.

That’s right! It is a Transform plate boundary, and

it occurs when two plates do not slide smoothly
past each other. The relative motion of the plates
is horizontal. This can occur underwater or on
land. And with this type of plate boundary, crust
is neither destroyed nor created because the two
plates are just sliding past each other. However,
earthquakes can be very strong along Transform
plate boundary because stress builds up in both
plates and when the stress exceeds the rest hold
of the plates, the enormous amount of energy is
released in the form of an earthquake.

Did you get it?

Yes, ma’am!
Do you have any questions about the three types
of plate boundaries?
None, ma’am!

E. ELABORATE Since you don’t have any questions, I will be

presenting pictures of real-life examples of
geologic features as results of the different plate
boundaries and let’s try to identify each one of
them.
First picture.
What do you think is this?

KRIZZA Ma’am Rift valley.

Correct! What is rift valley?
Rift Valley is a lowland region that
forms when two plates move away
from each other.
Correct! Rift valley is an example of a feature that
formed along divergent plate boundary.

What do you think is the name of this rift valley? (No response)
This is the Jordan Rift Valley and it is an example
of mature rift valley.
Next picture.

What do you think is this?

LYKA A Mountain Range

Ma’am.

Good!

Do you know what is the name of this mountain

range?

Any idea?
KENNETH That is the Himalayas,
ma’am.
Yes, it’s the Himalayas. This mountain range crosses
five countries, namely Nepal, China, Pakistan,
Bhutan, and India. This mountain range is a
product of a continental- continental convergent
plate boundary.
 Last picture.

What geological feature is this?

APPLE It is a fault ma’am
Very good!

And this fault is a product of what type of plate

boundary? JUSTINE Transform plate boundary

Yes, (Student’s name)

(Students raises hand)

Excellent!

The perfect example of this fault is the San Andreas

Fault. This fault lies along the boundary between Transform Plate Boundary Ma’am.
the pacific and the North American Plate.
Particularly it lies in some places in California.

Do you understand class?

Is everything clear?

Now that we learned or know some geological Yes Ma’am.

feature created by the plate boundaries can you
give your insights regarding the relationship Yes Ma’am.
between plate boundaries and geological features?

Yes, (name of the student)

Very Good! What else can you infer, students?
RONA Ma’am I can infer that due to
the interactions of plate boundaries,
we have the different geological
features that we see and appreciate
today.

HAROLD Ma’am, there are unique

places here on earth that were
formed due to interactions of plate
boundaries which makes the earth
unique and distinct from other
planets.
 If there are no more questions let us summarize the
lesson.

1. The three types of plate boundaries are

divergent, convergent, and transform-fault.
2. Divergent boundary is when two plates move
away from each other.
3. Convergent boundary is when two plates collide
or move towards each other.
4. The three classifications of the convergent
boundary are continental-continental, oceanic-
oceanic, and oceanic-continental.
5. Transform fault boundary is when two plates
slide past each other horizontally.
6. The examples of geologic features that are
formed by plate boundaries are rift valleys,
mountain ranges, trenches, underwater
volcanoes, volcanic arcs, and faults.

I will give you a handout that contains the different

geological features that is being formed in the
plate boundaries for you to remember.

Get one and pass.

F. EXTEND For your performance task, you are going to make

your own model of your chosen type of plate
boundary. This will be by group, 3 members in each
group. And I think it will be better if you will just
choose your own groupmates.

Okay?
Yes Ma’am!

So, your model should show the movement that

happens on your chosen type of plate boundary.
And you will also enumerate and label the different
geological features and land formations that are
being formed in your plate boundary. You can pass
this until September 25. I will distribute a copy of
the rubrics for this performance task so that you
will have a guide in doing it.

Do you understand? Yes, ma’am.

Do you have any questions or clarifications? None, ma’am.

If there are no question or clarifications on your

performance task, let’s have a short quiz.

G. EVALUATE For this short quiz, I want you to bring out a piece
of paper and a pen. This is a multiple-choice type
of quiz. The questions and the choices will flash
