Setting of Classroom Rules: hands)
Now, in order to ensure that there is a happy
environment for learning where all of us, class,
will explore the wonderful things about Science
at the same time enjoy the learning experience
this morning, let us have our classroom rules.
Everybody read.
1. Sit Properly.
2. When there is a group
activity, go to you
respective groups in
respective manner.
3. Everyone must
participate.
4. Do your part with your
best.
5. Raise your hand when
you have questions.
6. Do not make any noise
or activity that can
disturb others.
7. Respect everyone.
Alright, hope everyone will follow these rules
consistently throughout our discussion.

Gathering prior knowledge

(Show pictures of aftermath of earthquakes.)

Have you ever wondered why earthquakes and

volcanoes occur in certain parts of the world? Yes, ma’am.

I have here a picture of the Himalayas and Ring

of Fire, do you have any idea of how these Because of the
Earth’s features formed? movement of the plates
ma’am.

Yes, very good! We will know better about the

movement of the plates as we go further with our
discussion.

a world map, and
 share the significance
of plate boundaries in
shaping our planet's
features.

Thank you. Are you ready to attain these

objectives, class? Yes, ma’am.

EXPLORE Classroom Trip

Now, we will have a trip inside the
Classroom. I will group you into three.
The classroom has three learning stations.
Each of them offers a different topic that you
will observe and examine. Write on your notes
as you go on.
I will assign each group to a designated
learning station. After 3 minutes, you will
proceed to the next learning station until you
finish visiting all learning stations. Am I clear?

But before that, here are the rubrics for your

activity for you to be guided on what to do.

Designated learning areas for the group:

Group 1- Station A

Group 3- Station C

Station A: Convergent Boundary

Tasks:
1. Study the provided picture.
2. Describe the process of subduction and its role
in creating ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
 Guide questions:

collide?
2. What type of plate is A? What about B?
3. Describe what happens to Plate A as it
collides with Plate B?
4. What do you think will happen to the leading
edge of plate A as it continues to move forward?

Station B: Divergent Boundary

Task:
1. Examine the picture provided.
2. Draw a simple diagram illustrating the process
of seafloor spreading at a mid-ocean ridge.

Guide questions:
1. What is the direction of the plates?
2. What happens to the Earth's crust?
3. What do you think will happen if the plates
continue to move away from each other?

Station C: Transform Boundary

Tasks:
1. Examine the provided picture.
2. Draw a diagram to show the movement of
tectonic plates along a transform fault.

Guide questions:
1. What is the direction of the movement of the

2. How do transform boundaries differ from
divergent and convergent boundaries in terms of
plate movement?
3. What do you think will happen in this type of
boundary?

EXPLAIN
Time’s up. Everybody, go back to your seats.
Now, let us examine and hear your
observations in the activity. Each group shall
have a designated speaker to present their
observations in the first learning station that they
visited.

(Teacher will assist the learners with their

 presentation)

Thank you for the wonderful presentation

class.
Let’s give yourselves 5 claps!

Now, to fully understand the three types of

boundaries, I have here a presentation.

The three types of plate boundaries are:

divergent boundary, convergent boundary, and
transform boundary.

A divergent boundary occurs when two

tectonic plates move away from each other.
Along these boundaries, earthquakes are
common and magma (molten rock) rises from
the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to
create a new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic
Ridge is an example of divergent plate
boundaries.

When two plates come together, it is known as a

convergent boundary. The impact of the
colliding plates can cause the edges of one or
both plates to buckle up into mountain ranges or
one of the plates may bend down into a deep
seafloor trench. A chain of volcanoes often
forms parallel to convergent plate boundaries
and powerful earthquakes are common along
these boundaries. The Pacific Ring of Fire is an
example of a convergent plate boundary.

Two plates sliding past each other form a

transform plate boundary. One of the most
famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the
San Andreas fault zone, which extends
underwater.

So, those are the three parts of plate boundaries.

Do you have questions and clarifications?

None, ma’am

ELABORATE

Differentiated Activities:
Group 1: Matching Game. Students will match
the cards with different types of plate boundaries
to their corresponding descriptions.

Group 2: Labeling Activity. Students will label

the world’s major plate boundaries found on the
world map.

Group 3: Song and Dance. Compose a song

about the three types of plate boundaries and
present it with action to demonstrate the
movement of plates.

I’ll give you 3 minutes to finish this task.

Time’s up. Now, let us take a look in your

works.

Now, let us recall our topic this this morning.

Again, what are the three types of plate
boundaries?
(student presents their
work)
What do you call the type of boundary where
plates move past one another?

Correct! What about when plates move towards

each other?

Exactly. You really did pay attention to or topic

this morning.

Now, let’s proceed to another activity. This

activity is called "Geological Reflection".
I will show you series of captivating images
showcasing diverse geological features formed
by plate boundary interactions (volcanic
eruptions, mountain ranges)

I will give you a moment to silently appreciate

the images and the natural beauty they represent.
Then write down your brief emotional response
or thoughts related to the images. "I'm amazed
by the power of nature," "It's incredible how
Earth's crust can create such diverse landscapes,"
"I want to learn more about how these
formations happen."
Am I clear?
Yes, ma’am.
Now, kindly pass the paper forward.

Are all papers in?

I will shuffle this paper and will read a few of

your responses without mentioning your name.
(Facilitate a brief class discussion, encouraging
students to share their feelings and thoughts
about the images and the processes that shape
the Earth's surface.)

Based on your responses, why is it important to

understand plate boundaries and their impact on
Earth’s geological features?

Understanding plate
boundaries and their
impact on Earth’s
 geological features is
essential because it helps
us comprehend the
dynamic processes that
shape our planet’s
Very well said. surface.
So, how will you relate the plate boundaries and
geological features to the challenges people are
facing in life?

Like plate boundaries

ma’am, we may face
different problems but
these problems ultimately
lead us to better
Excellent. Just as the movement of plates can outcomes.
lead to earthquakes, life’s challenges can shake
us up. But just like plate boundaries can create
beautiful landscapes and new formations over
time, facing challenges can lead to personal
growth and positive outcomes. So, while the
shaking might be unsettling, it’s often a
necessary part of the process that eventually
brings about something better.
