Detailed Lesson Plan in Hot Spots
I. OBJECTIVES
a. Content Standards The learners demonstrate an understanding of the relationship among the locations
of volcanoes, earthquakes epicenters, and mountain ranges.
b. Performance The learners shall be able to demonstrate ways to ensure disaster preparedness
Standards during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
c. Learning The learners should be able to:
Competencies • describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and
major mountain belts;
• describe the different types of plate boundaries;
• explain the different processes that occur along the plate boundaries;
• describe the internal structure of the Earth;
• describe the possible causes of plate movement;
Unpacked LC/ Objectives:
1. Explain the formation of hotspots;
2. Perform an activity that stimulates the formation of hotspots.
IV. PROCEDURES
1. Elicit Look at these pictures.
2. Engage
• Have you been in Bohol?
• What beautiful spot do you find in this place?
• If not, look at these pictures. How do you describe these hills?
(the teacher will ask the students about the origin of these hills)
• Do you think these hills are similar to that of chains of volcanoes in Hawaii?
(showing an image of volcanoes in Hawaii)
• How are these volcanoes in Hawaii formed?
5. Elaborate
1. At this point, the teacher will ask again the previous question in the engage part which is,
“Are volcanic islands the same as the Chocolate hills?” Then, further explanation will
follow. Emphasize that they are two different things.
2. The student will watch a video clip showing formation of hotspots in Hawaii.
A.

3. Volcano B is ________________than volcano C.
4. The farther a volcano is from the mantle plume, the ___________ is the age of the
volcano.
5. The volcano on top of the mantle plume is the _______________.
