Title of Presentation: The Internal Structure of the Earth

A. Objectives:
1. Identify the different layers of the Earth;
2. To create a model of the layers of the Earth;
3. Appreciate the importance of Earth crust to our
everyday life.
B. Methods

4. Inquiry method
C. Experiences

1. Experience in proper demonstration with lectures of

the different layers of the Earth.
2. Experience in proper presentation of Earth structure
thru digital virtual presentation to further explain and
show proper images.
3. Experience to make a replica of the Earth structure.
D. Materials, Equipment Facilities

F. Implement the Instruction:

1. Daily Routine Activities:

2. Motivation:
For motivation we are going to let the student play “4 pics 1
word”. We will be flashing 4 pictures and below these pictures
are scrambled letters which you will arrange in order to form 1
word that represents the pictures. You will be given a code for
the slido application in order for you to write your answer. The
first one who got the correct answer will be given 50 pesos load
through Gcash
What is Earth?
Earth is the planet we live on, one
of the planets in our solar
system and the only known place
in the universe to support life.
 
Earth is the third planet from the
sun, after Mercury and Venus and
before Mars. It is about 150 million
kilometers (about 93 million miles)
from the sun.
3.Presentation of the Lesson
a. Ask student the four major components of the Earth;
THE FOUR MAJOR COMPONENTS OF EARTH
CRUST
MANTLE

OUTER CORE
INNER CORE
3.Presentation of the Lesson
b. During presentation of the lesson we will discuss the
following:
• Discuss the concentric layers of the earth.
• Discuss and differentiate the Outer and inner core,
the Pressure freezing and Lehmann Discontinuity.
• Discuss and differentiate the Upper and Lower
mantle and the transition zone

UPPER LOWER OUTER INNER
CRUST MANTLE MANTLE CORE CORE
3. Presentation of the Lesson (Continuation)
• Discuss the low-velocity zone, the Gutenberg
Discontinuity and Mohorovicic discontinuity.
• Discuss the Crust and show an acetate of
materials that compose the earth’s crust.
• Discuss the two parts of the crust.

c. We will show an acetate of the Earth’s

structure and ask students to identify the layers.
Lehmann Discontinuity

- The boundary between

inner and the outer core.

Inge Lehmann - Danish

Seismologist who discovered
the properties of inner and
outer core which is outer
core is molten and inner core
is solid.
 4. Application
We will ask our students to group themselves
into 3 for the group activity.

When learning about the Earth’s layers, it helps

to have a replica. In a group of 3 you need to
make an Earth’s layer Model with the use of Clay.
Use different colors of clay and toothpick to label
the different layers of Earth.
G. Evaluate Outcomes
1.Assess by giving a test.
2.Random oral recitation about the Earth
structure.
3. Random oral recitation about their
reflection on the importance of the Earth
crust to our everyday life. (A short
reflection).
4. Declare who has a good presentation of
the Earth Structure replica.
H. Refine the Process
1.Assess if the objectives were attained. If yes,
proceed to the next lesson and repeat the cycle.
2.If objectives were not attained, conduct
remedial measures:
 Ask students which part of the lesson is not clear or
confusing.
 Focus on the areas they are having difficulty.
 Devoting more time to discuss those students who
are having difficulty.
WRAP-UP/REFLECTION:
THE EARTH IS COMPOSE OF DIFFERENT LAYERS:
CRUST, MANTLE, INNER CORE & OUTER CORE.

Each layer has a unique chemical composition,

physical state, and can impact life on Earth's
surface.

The

zone
Asthenosphere or the low-velocity zone
- it is a soft, weak, top layer of
the upper mantle that is made
up of hot molten materials.
- It has a thickness of 180km
and has a temperature ranging
from 300 degree Celsius to 800
degree Celsius.
- Since asthenosphere is molten and
flowing underneath the crust it causes
the movements of lithospheric plates
which is responsible to the movement of
continents, that is why we have
earthquakes.
Gutenberg Discontinuity

- the boundary between the

outer core and lower
mantle.
- named after Beno Gutenberg
who is an American German
Seismologist.
Mohorovicic Discontinuity

- The boundary between

upper mantle and crust.

- named after Andrija

Mohorovicic who is a
Croatian Meteorologist and
Seismologist.
 The
CRUST
- the thinnest,
outermost, rocky
layer of the earth
that is made up
of 2 parts.
 2 PARTS OF THE CRUST
Continental Crust Oceanic Crust
- has thickness of 35-40km and - has thickness of 7-10km.
is mainly made up of the
elements sodium, oxygen, - found under ocean floors
silicon, aluminum, potassium and is made up of dense
and calcium. rocks such as basalt.
- usually found
under land masses
and is made up of
less dense rocks
such as granite.
