Detailed Lesson Plan in Science 6
I. OBJECTIVE
At the end of the lesson, the students are able to describe the
changes on the Earth’s surface as a result of earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
Topic: The Effects of Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption.
Materials: Pictures/video of earthquakes and volcanoes, manila
paper.
References: Most Essential Learning Competencies
Values Integration: Students learn the importance of being ready
during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions by following safety rules
and emergency procedures.
III. LEARNING PROCEDURE
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
Class, let us all stand and
feel the presence of the
Lord. (One student leads the prayer)
(The teacher asks a pupil to
lead the class in prayer to
ask for guidance and a
successful learning
session.)
Goodmorning, teacher!
2. Greeting
Goodmorning, class!
3. Classroom Management
Please check your Yes, teacher.

sure you are ready to learn.
None, teacher.
4. Checking of Attendance
Is there anyone absent
today?

anyone give an example?
Very good! Today, we will focus
on earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions.
C. Motivation

pictures?
How do you feel when you see
these pictures?
These events can be dangerous.
Let us learn their effects so we
can be prepared.
D. Presentation
Class, today we will learn
about earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
An earthquake is the shaking
of the ground caused by
movements inside the Earth. It
can cause cracked roads,
collapsed buildings, and
injuries.
A volcanic eruption happens
when lava, ash, and gases
come out of a volcano. It can
cause lava flow, ash fall, air
pollution, and evacuation of
people.
Both earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions are natural disasters
that can harm people,
animals, and the environment.
That is why it is important to
know their effects and be
prepared.

Excellent! These effects
can be harmful if we are
not prepared.
F. Application
“Earthquake–Volcano Clap
Game”
Class, we will have a fun
activity called “Earthquake–
Volcano Clap!”
Listen carefully and follow the
correct clap and action.
I will read a statement.
If it is an effect of an
earthquake, do the
Earthquake Clap.
If it is an effect of a volcanic
eruption, do the Volcano Clap.
G. Generalization
Class, today we learned that
an earthquake is the shaking
of the ground caused by
movements inside the Earth. It
can cause cracked roads,
collapsed buildings, and
injuries.

Now, what is the difference
between an earthquake and a
volcanic eruption? TRUE
