-The lyrics of the song were given in advance to the learners. They
will be provided with a microphone so those learners with an
interest in singing will enjoy the activity

The Continental Drift: Alfred Wegener (Song)
Based on the song required learners to answer the following
questions:
1. What does the song all about?
2. Who is the German meteorologist mentioned in the song?
3. How does the songwriter describe the meteorologist's theory?
-The 3rd question will be parked for a while so learners' interest will
increase.
-The teacher will present the learning objectives for the day.

the guide questions. Let them present their output. In between their
presentations wrap up the content and clear misconceptions.
a. Fitting of the Continents-discussion on Giant Pangea
b. The Coal Deposit
-Fossils of the seed fern Glossopteris were heavy to be carried by
wind.
-Mesosaurus was a swimming reptile but could only swim in
freshwater while Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were land reptiles
and were unable to swim
c. Identical rocks were also found of the same type and age on both
sides of the Atlantic Oceans including the mountain range like
Appalachian and Greenland mountain range.
ELABORATE Allow students to apply what they have learned to a new situation and
continue to explore its implication for possible extension.
Now that the students identify and enumerate evidence of
continental drift theory relate this concept to tectonic activity and its
10 minutes significance in the understanding of paleogeology now a days. Let the
students answer the following guide questions.
Guide questions
1. Why do you think scientists did not accept Wegener’s theory of
continental drift?
2. What do you think lacking in his theory?
3. What is the significance of continental drift theory in cartographic
representation distribution of geographic features of the Earth?
This will lead to plate movement. Today, we know that the continents
rest on massive slabs of rocks called tectonic plates. The plates are
always moving and interacting in a process called plate tectonics
Direction. Read the item carefully. Write the letter of the correct
answer on a separate sheet.
