Topic: Evidence of Plate Movement

Activity:
 Exploring the Continents
Science Skills Requirement:
 Observing details
 Predicting
Learning Task  Interpreting data/variables
 Classifying information
 Synthesizing and communicating conclusions

Content Integration:
 History, Geology
Values:
 Appreciate how fauna and flora are relative from one continent to
another through pieces of evidence in continental drift theory.

Continental Drift Theory was developed in the early part of the 20 th


century, by Alfred Wegener.
The evidence for continental drift included the
 Geologic fit and fossil evidence is a matching of large-scale geologic
features on different continents.
 The coastline of South America and West Africa seems to
Key Points match up, however more particularly the rock terrains of
separate continents confirm as well.
 Glaciers carve rock and leave marks as proof of movements. This
evidence also determines the direction of movement of each
continent.
 Coal Deposit- the presence of coal indicates that the continents was
once inhabited by many organisms. It also gives a clue that
Antarctica was once located near the equator where abundant
animal and plant organisms could be found

ELICIT Connect present lesson to the past lesson through soliciting ideas from the students.
Preliminary/ Routinary Activity
PRIKA -Prayer, greetings, and establishing classroom management (rules
(Prior Knowledge and regulations).
Activity) -Rewarding system

Name It to Win It!


5 minutes Identify the words/terms in each slide.
1. movement
2. plate tectonic
3. coal deposit
4. continent
5. fossil

The teacher will facilitate the PRIKA guided by the powerpoint


presentation with the combined pictures to identify the
words/terms. This will allow learners to guess words/term they will
encounter in today's lesson.
ENGAGE Peak students’ interest and get them personally involved in the lesson while
eliciting ideas.

-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
5 minutes
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.

EXPLORE Get students directly involved in the lesson; provide chance to build their own
understanding.

Activity 1. A Journey From the Past!

Group 1. Geologic Simulation


Materials:
-laptop, java lab simulation link, writing materials
Procedures:
1. Examine the appearance of the presentation of globe in the javalab
simulation.
2. Identify each continent. Try to fit in each continent by dragging it
to fit together.
3. Answer the guide questions that follow:

Guide questions:
1. What giant landmass did your group form in the simulation?
2. Which clues are useful in reconstructing the said giant landmass?
3. How do you know that it will fit?

Group 2. Coal Deposit


Materials:
-Large World Map, pictures of Permian and Triassic fossil groups
Adhesive and writing materials.
Procedures:
1. Guided by the color in the fitted world map as Pangaea. Paste
the picture of the coal/fossils corresponding to it.
2. Examine the continent that has similar fossil deposit by
completing the given table.

Continents Similar Coal/Fossil Deposits

Guide Questions:
1. How do you relate the coal deposit to the original positions of the
continents?
2. Does the presence of animal deposits tell that Africa, Antarctica, and
South America were once connected? If yes, why is that so?

Materials.
-picture of the Appalachian Mountains (eastern US) and
Caledonian Mountains (Scotland)
Procedure:
1. Examine the pictures of the Appalachian Mountains and Caledonian
Mountains.
2. List down all your observations on mountain ranges.

Guide Questions:
1. Based on the given pictures what can we infer from the two mountain
ranges?
2. How can the continental drift explain the connections between these
two-mountain range?

EXPLAIN Provide students with opportunity to communicate on what they have learned.

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

A. EVALUATE Determine how much learning has taken.
