JINKY'S LESSON PLAN

LESSON PLAN

IN SCIENCE VI

I. OBJECTIVES

a. To describe the crustal movement and the Plate Tectonics Theory;
b. To appreciate the mystery behind the drifting of continents; and
c. To name the different plates of the crust.
II. LEARNING TASKS

a. Topic:
Movements of the Crust

b. Concepts:
a. Crust consists of several plates that float like rafts on the asthenosphere.
b. Plate Tectonics describe the movement as brought about by the slow convection currents in the asthenosphere which cause continents to drift.
c. Pangaea is a hypothetical land mass which the earth was thought to be like years back.
c
. Values:
Faith

d. Skills:
Analysing, describing

e. Strategies:
Inquiry approach

f. Materials:
OHP

g. References:
Science of the Physical Creation (2nd Edition) pp. 198-199

III. LEARNING SEQUENCE

a. Routinary activities
A 5-item check-up test will be administered.

b. Motivation
Students go to their group. Ten puzzles will be given to them and the first group to finish the puzzle receives +1 in the next lab activity.

c. Lesson Proper


I.PLATE TECTONICS THEORY


1. Describe the mechanism of the crust. Recall oceanic and continental crust.


2. Enumerate the plates of the crust.


3. Ask how do crusts move and lead them to the idea of Plate Tectonics Theory and the Theory of Isostasy.


4. Describe the explanation of Science about Earth now and then based on the Pangaea hypothesis.

II.Evaluation


1. Ask students conviction about the Pangaea issue.


III.Assignment

1. Bring a world map for the making of Pangae. (Maps must be pre-cut already)

2. 1/8 illustration board, glue, scissors
