I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
A. Content Standards the relationship among the locations of volcanoes, earthquake epicenters,
and mountain ranges.
The learners shall be able to:
1. Demonstrate ways to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes,
B. Performance Standards tsunamis and volcanic eruptions;
2. Suggest ways by which he/she can contribute to government efforts in
reducing damage due to earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

Use your notes and concept web to answer the following questions.
1. In what layer of the Earth does convection current happen?
2. How does convection happen?
3. Which layer provides the heat for the magma?
4. What is the effect of convection current to the plates?
5. How is the picture of boiling water in a kettle similar to convection current
E. Discussing new concepts in the Earth?
and 6. What would happen to the convection current if the pot is taken off the

Assessment 3) After the presentation, the answers to the guide questions should be elicited from
the students:
1. Mantle
2. The hot, less dense rising material (magma) rises up & spreads out from the
mid ocean ridge. The hot magma flows out of the mantle and cools down
to form the new ocean crust. The downward movement of the convection
current occurs along a convergent boundary where subduction happens.
The cycle repeats itself.
3. The core
4. The plates move.
5. The picture is similar to the convection in the earth. Magma rises (water is
boiled) & sinks and the cycle repeats itself.
6. The convection current will stop.
One of the most observable practices that shows convection current is in the
house cooling systems. Ask for the ff. questions so that students can relate it to
convection current.
G. Finding practical 1. What do you observe with the positions of windows at your home?
applications of concepts 2. Do you think there is a reason behind this?
and skills in daily living 3. How is it related to convection current.
The ff. concepts should be emphasized during the lesson:
H. Making generalizations
and Convection current is a continuous process where less dense particles rise while
abstraction about the denser particles sink. Once the hot less dense particles cool down, they sink,
lesson and the other less dense particles rise.
Use formative assessment:
Complete the ff. sentences.
I. Evaluate learning

rise and _________ particles sink. This makes the plates _________.
