very good

Since you were in elementary, you have heard about volcanoes.

But do you know what a volcano is? To find out, let’s proceed to activity 1 (Volcano Concept Map)

 But before that, the teacher will present the objectives of the lesson
1.Define volcano
2. Differentiate active from inactive volcanoes
3. Explain the characteristic of each type of volcano

Group the students into three. Each group will answer the volcano concept map in the manila paper.

 Option 1(present 2 pictures of a Mayon volcano using power point presentation if electricity is available,
- Each group must have 1 laptop for group presentation
 Option 2 -provide each group 2 pictures of Mayon Volcano
- Each group will write their answers in the manila paper provided by the teacher.
 Based on the given picture, give five descriptions of a volcano. Present your answer in a concept map.
 You are given 3 minutes to answer and 2 minutes to present your output. The score will be based through
the rubrics below

Activity 1. Volcano concept map

Objective
characterize a volcano

Materials:
pictures of a volcano
paper and pen
Procedure:
Q1. Based on the picture, give five descriptions of a volcano. Present your answer in
a concept map as shown below.

RUBRICS
5 points: if the concept map is completely filled in with unique and correct ideas
4 points: if the concept map is completely filled in with correct but not unique ideas
3 points: if one part of the concept map is not filled in but the supplied ideas are
correct
2 points: if two parts of the concept map is not completely filled in and some of the
supplied ideas are incorrect
0 point: no effort exerted
After the group reporting ask the students the definition of volcano based on the descriptions that they have given.
Possible answer:
- volcano is a natural opening in the surface of the earth where molten rocks, hot gases, smoke and ash are ejected
- Volcano a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor,
and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust

In activity 1, you have described and define what a volcano is. The next thing to do is to classify them. Do you have
any idea how they are classified?

Activity 2. Volcanoes in the Philippines

Objective
classify volcanoes as active or inactive
Materials:
Philippine map
colored pens/ crayons
ruler
Procedure:
1. Using the Philippine map (fig. 3), plot the location of the following volcanoes.
Assign colors for the volcanoes. Indicate this in the legend.

Table 1. List of some volcanoes in the Philippines

 ANALYSIS
Ask the following Questions:

1. Are all the volcanoes found in the same location?

Possible answer: No, they are found in different places in the Philippines

2. Which of the volcanoes had the most number of eruptions?

least number of eruptions? _______________ no record of eruption? _____________
Answer : Mayon Volcano has the most number of eruptions while Iraya volcano has the least number of eruptions.
The following volcanoes have no record of eruption: Cabaluyan, Cocoro, Pulung, Tamburok and Urot.

3. How will you classify the volcanoes that have records of eruptions?
Answer : Active volcanoes
4. How will you classify volcanoes with no record of eruption?
Answer : Inactive volcanoes

5. In your own words, differentiate an active volcano from an inactive one.

Possible answer : Active volcanoes are those that have a record of eruption or have erupted recently while inactive
volcanoes are those that show no record of eruption.

ABSTRACTION
There are several ways by which volcanoes can be classified. PHIVOLCS have adapted a system where the Philippine
volcanoes as active or inactive.

 Active volcanoes are those that have a record of eruption within the last 600 years or those that erupted 10,
000 years ago based on analyses of their its materials.

 Inactive volcanoes, on the other hand, are those that have not erupted for the last 10, 000 years and their
physical form is being changed by agents of weathering and erosion through formation of deep and long
gullies.

The Philippines is located along the Pacific Ring of Fire. As a result, it is a home to many volcanoes. The most
famous among our volcanoes is the Mayon Volcano which erupted last May 7, 2013 while a group of hikers were exploring
its beauty.
A volcano is a natural opening in the surface of the Earth where molten rocks, hot gases, smoke, and ash are ejected.
Ashes are fragments of rocks or fine-grained lava ejected from the volcano.
Silica (SiO2) is a compound of silicon (Si). Silica molecules form a strong bond that permits entrapment of volcanic
gases and promotes explosive volcanic eruptions.
Magma is a molten rock inside the Earth. As the magma is continuously heated, it goes up. As it rises, gas bubbles are
developed. The gas bubbles are trapped and expand causing the molten material to swell also, resulting in a gradual increase
in pressure within the volcano. When the pressure exceeds the strength of the overlying rock, fracturing occurs. The
resulting breaks lead to a further drop in confining pressure, which in turn causes even more gas bubbles to form.
Lava is a magma that has been ejected out of a volcano. Aside from lava, broken rocks, lava bombs, fine ash and dust are
also ejected.
Viscosity is the property of the material’s resistance to flow. It is also described as the liquid’s thickness and stickiness.
The more viscous and thicker the material is, the greater is its resistance to flow. For instance, syrup is more viscous than
water.
A volcano usually has summit, a peak or highest point; slope, a degree of slant or inclination; and base. At the summit,
there is an opening which may either be a crater or a caldera. A crater is a funnel-shaped opening at the top of a volcano
while a caldera is formed when a part of the wall collapses following an explosive eruption.
According to PHIVOLCS (2013), our country has more than a hundred volcanoes. Twenty-three are active while the rest
are inactive.
Although volcanologists have different basis for classifying volcanoes, another way to classify volcanoes is by their
cones, namely: shield, cinder, and composite cones.

Shield volcanoes are formed by the accumulation of lava that oozes out from the volcano. Since non-viscous lava can
flow freely, a broad, slightly domed structure that resembles a warrior's shield is formed. It has a gentle slope. An example
of this type is the Mauna Loa in Hawaii.
Cinder cones, on the other hand, are built from ejected lava fragments. They have a steep slope, wider crater and are the
most abundant of the three major volcano types. One example of this type is the Paricutin in Mexico.
Composite cones or stratovolcanoes are large, nearly perfect sloped structure formed from alternate solidification of
both lava and pyroclastic deposits. One perfect example of this type of cone is our Mayon Volcano.

SHICINCO ( KEYWORD)
 APPLICATION
After the discussion, with the same group answer the table and guide questions below. You are given 5 minutes to
answer and 3 minutes to report your output
Activity 4. Types of Volcanoes According to Cones

Objective:The learners shall be able to give a characteristic of each type of

volcano: cinder cone, shield, and composite.
What you need:pictures of volcanoes, paper and pen
What to do: Complete the data table below by writing its correct descriptions.

Guide Questions:
1. Compare the appearances of the cones.
Answer: Composite cone has symmetrical cone. Cinder cone has circular or oval cone. Shield cone has cone of flat,
domical shape

2. Which volcano has the greatest slope? Cinder cone

Which has the least slope? Shield Cone

3. Explain how the type of material extruded from a volcano affects the shape of its
cone.
Possible answer: If the material extruded from the volcano with less viscosity, then the material flows easily from
a volcano that results in the formation of a cone with a broad base and less height.
Example Shield volcano, it is almost flat because it is formed from non-viscous lava. Lava flows freely, forming a very wide
base.
