OBJECTIVES:
• Explain the reasons why plates
move.
• Create a concept map on plate
tectonics and types of plate
boundaries and,
• Appreciate the importance of plate
tectonics on the creation of
different geologic features.
ENGAGE Activity 2: LETS FIT IT
• Directions: I have a torn

paper page here, you have to
fit and connect the pieces
together using the tape then
answer the following
questions.
Questions to Ponder:
• Q1. What features of the paper helped
us to connect the pieces perfectly?
• Q2. How do the lines of prints or texts in
the paper help you to confirm that you
have reassembled the paper page?
• Q3. Show proof that the paper is
perfectly reassembled.
EXPLORE Activity 3:
Differentiated Instruction
• Utilizing the same group

• Each group is provided with a guide card.
• The group will select one of their
members to present their outputs.
• One representative from each group to
pick an envelope
Rubrics
Explain
• Did you enjoy the activity? How
was it?
• Presentation of learners’ output
per group.
• Each group will be given 3
minutes to discuss their outputs.
Group I- KNOW MY
BOUNDARY
• Directions: Describe
the direction of plate
movement in the
diagram below.
Identify whether the following pair of
tectonic plates exhibit movement in
CPB if convergent plate boundary,
DPB for divergent plate boundary,
and TFB for transform plate
boundary. Use the map showing the
major tectonic plates that make up
the earth’s lithosphere and the
directions in which they are moving.
Group II- CONCEPT MAPPING
• Directions. Create a
concept map about
the three types of
plate boundaries.
Group III- Concept Mapping
• Directions: Complete the
concept map below about
the evidence of plate
movement, continental
drift, and seafloor
spreading.
Group IV- FILL Me
• Directions: Read the

given guide card on
convection currents and
answer the following
questions.
• Short video clip on plate tectonics
Elaborate
• Why is Wegener’s theory of

continental drift not accepted
during his time?
• How does seafloor spreading
theory support Wegener’s theory
of continental drift?
Activity 4: WHO AM I
• Identify the different

geologic features
and explain how they
are formed.
MARIANA/S TRENCH
HIMALAYAS
RIFT VALLEY
MID OCEANIC RIDGE
SAN ANDREAS FAULT
• Do you think these geological
features would exist without plate
movement? Why?
• Is earthquake a normal happening
on the earth’s crust? Why?
• What would the Earth look like
without plate movement?
• What is the main driving force of
plate movement? Explain your
answer.
Making Generalizations
SENTENCE COMPLETION
•I learned that _______________.

•I discovered that ____________.
•I realized that _______________.
EVALUATE
• DIRECTIONS: Read the
following questions and
write only the letter of your
answers in a ¼ sheet of
paper.
1. A theory which suggests that
Earth’s crust is made up of
plates that interact in
various ways.
• a. plate tectonics
• b. continental drift
• c. plate boundaries
• d. seafloor spreading
2. Mid-oceanic ridges are
products of what type of plate
boundary?
• a. oceanic-oceanic divergence
• b. oceanic-oceanic convergence
• c. continental-continental divergence
• d. continental-continental convergence
3.Which of this is NOT a correct
explanation on how convection
works?
• a. Hotter fluids rise above colder fluids.

• b. Colder fluids sink below hotter fluids.
• c. Less dense fluids rise above denser fluids.
• d. Less dense fluids sink below denser fluids.
4. Which of the following statements CORRECTLY
describes the figure?
I. The presence of fossils of Mesosaurus and
Cynognathus in the continents of South
America and Africa indicates that they were
once connected.
II. The presence of fossils of Glossopteris in
all the continents shows that they were once
part of a single supercontinent.
III. The presence of fossils of Mesosaurus in
the continents of Africa and Antarctica
provides evidence that they were once
joined together.
IV. The presence of fossils of Lystrosaurus
and Glossopteris in the continents of Africa,
a. I and II c. II and III Antarctica and Australia tells us that they
were once connected.
b. I and III d. II and IV
5. Coal beds are formed from the compaction and
decomposition of swamp plants that lived million years
ago. These were discovered in some continents
including Antarctica which is located in the polar
region. Considering the presence of coal beds, do you
think it is possible that Antarctica has a tropical climate
before?
• a.No, Antarctica has a cold climate because it has always been located in the
polar region.
• b.Yes, there are times in a year where the polar region receives substantial
amount of sunlight.
• c.No, the presence of coal beds does not provide enough evidence that
Antarctica was once a tropical region.
• d.Yes, the presence of coal beds means that Antarctica was positioned
closer to the equator before where it received abundant amount of sunlight.
EXTEND
• Would the arrangement

of the continents today
be the same after 200
years? Why?
