OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standard Seafloor Spreading
B. Performance Standard The learners should be able to use maps,
diagrams, or models, predict what could happen in
the future as the tectonic plates continue to move.
C. Learning Competencies/Objectives At the end of the session, students are expected to:
1. Explain how the movement of plates leads to the
formation of folds, faults, trenches, volcanoes, rift
valleys, and mountain ranges (S11/12ES-IIg-h-37)
II. CONTENT Earth Processes
Plate tectonics
III. LEARNING RESOURCES

C. Presenting examples/instances of the Ask the students to share their ideas about the
lesson (PRE-ACTIVITY) following:
1. Convergent Boundary
2. Divergent Boundary
3. Transform Fault Boundary
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing To get acquainted with the terms and types of folds,
new skills (ACTIVITY PROPER) do the following activity. Form a group consisting of
four members You will need four big blocks of
modeling clay of different colors.
Procedure
1. Flatten each modeling clay
separately. The ideal dimension is
15cm x 10cm x 0.5cm.
2. Put each layer together to form
strata. Trim the edges to make the
layers rectangular. These
represent the different layers of
sedimentary rocks. Represent the
lowest stratum as the oldest and
the highest stratum as the
youngest.
3. Hold the strata horizontally. Apply
equal forces to each end. The fold
arching upward is called an
anticline while the fold arching
downwards is referred to as
syncline.
4. Flatten the strata until you form the
original structure.
5. Apply force underneath the strata.
Use two fingers to push up at the
center of the model. Wrap the
layers downward around your
fingers to form a structure-like
dome.
6. Repeat step 5, but instead of
applying the force underneath,
apply force at the top. You have
formed a basin
7. Flatten the strata again. This time,
apply unequal forces in different
directions. If unequal forces are
applied, a leaning fold is formed. If
the force is acting toward the front
or back of the fold, a plunging fold
occurs.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing Analysis of Theories, Concepts and Principles
new skills (DEEPENING) 1. What are the basic assumptions of
the continental drift? Give
evidences to support eh
continental drift hypothesis?
2. What are the major types of plate
boundaries? Describe their
distinguishing features.
3. Suppose horizontal compressional
forces are acting on two plates,
describe what will happen. You
may illustrate.
F. Developing mastery (POST ACTIVITY) Performance
H. Making generalizations and abstractions Based on the objectives stated previously, ask the
about the lesson (GENERALIZATION) following questions:
1. State the difference between folds and
faults
2. Discuss the formation of folds and faults
3. Illustrate the formation of folds and faults
based on different plate movement.
