C) Transform boundary D) Subduction boundary
3. What typically forms at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic
plate and a continental plate?
A) Rift valley B) Mid- Ocean ridge
C) Volcanic mountain D) Transform fault
4. What is the process called when one tectonic plate is forced under another?

boundary?
A) Divergent boundary B) Convergent boundary

2. Establishing a purpose for the lesson/ Presenting examples of the new lesson
The teacher will display a picture of a place or continent on the map, and the students
will then identify the names of the places depicted in the pictures.
3. Developing mastery

Discussion Method: Deductive Method
4. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
Group activity – Solving Jigsaw Puzzle of Different Continent
Africa – Group 1
North America – Group 2
Australia – Group 3
Asia – Group 4
Europe – Group 5
South America – Group 6
Antarctica – Group 7
5. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson
What are the name tectonics means?
What does isostasy mean?
What is the name of the one of the foundational works that gave rise to this
theory?
6. Evaluating learning
True or False
1. The Earth's lithosphere is broken into several large and small tectonic plates.
2. Divergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates move towards each other.
3. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a transform plate boundary.
4. Subduction occurs when two continental plates collide and one plate is forced
under the other.
5. Earthquakes are often associated with the movement of tectonic plates along
faults.
Answer:
1. True
2. False
3. True
4. False
5. True

5. What theory in which the Earth is compared to a grape that contracted into a raisin
due to cooling process.
2. Establishing a purpose for the lesson/ Presenting examples of the new lesson
Video Activity – The teacher will present a video of the Continental Drift Theory and
they will answer the following question.
1. What is the video all about?
2. What is Pangea?
3. What is the average movement of the plates per year?
[Link]
3. Developing mastery
Continental Drift
Discussion Method: Deductive Method
4. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
Group Activity – The students will be divided into 4 groups. Each group will receive
a blank world map. They will identify and label the different continents. Then, they
will cut out the continents and piece them together as they might have been in
Pangea.
5. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson
What is continental drift?
Name two pieces of evidence Wegener used to support his theory.
Why was Wegener’s theory initially rejected by many scientists?
Describe how the distribution of fossils supports the theory of continental
drift.
6. Evaluating learning

A) Charles Darwin B) Alfred Wegener
C) Isaac Newton D) Marie Curie
2. What name did Wegener give to the supercontinent he believed existed 200
million years ago?
A) Atlantis B) Pangaea C) Laurasia D) Gondwana
3. Which of the following pieces of evidence did Wegener NOT use to support his
theory of continental drift?
A) The fit of the continents
B) Similar rock formations on different continents
C) Satellite images of continental movement
D) Fossil evidence
4. What is the super continent that is existed before Pangea?
A) Atlantis B) Pangaea C) Rodinia D) Gondwana
