WEEK 1 (LEARNING PLAN SCIENCE 10)
I. OBJECTIVES
Content Standard:
 The learners demonstrate understanding of the relationship among the locations of
volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges
Performance Standard:
The learners:
 Demonstrate ways to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes, tsunamis, and
volcanic eruptions; and suggest ways by which he/she can contribute to government
efforts in reducing damage due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions
Learning Competencies:
The learners...
 Describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain
belts;
 Identify the different layers of the earth;
 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; and
 Enumerate the lines of evidence that support plate.
II. SUBJECT MATTER

Lesson: Plate Tectonics
Sub. Topics: Volcanoes (Volcanic Eruption) and NDRRMC

Strategies: Discovery Learning, Active Learning and Discovery Learning
III. ORGANIZING BIG IDEAS:

ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING
Students will develop a strategy for disaster preparedness and for natural catastrophes that
include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the resultant effects, like tsunamis specifically
designed for Filipinos whether in the government and private sectors or common citizens.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
How should we prepare for natural disasters that include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes
and tsunamis?

Activity 2: Volcano Concept Map
Figure 1: Mayon Volcano

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

B. Firm-up:
Activity 3: Launch Pad

Tower building is one of the most popular and exciting games you may have done. In this simple
activity, you will be challenged to use your scientific skills and devise strategies to build the highest and
strongest tower in a short amount of time and using limited materials.
Materials: 10 sticks of spaghetti, masking tape, one marshmallow piece, one sheet of clean paper.
Procedure:
1. The set of the materials will be distributed per group. The group will be given 5 minutes to plan.
2. Use the spaghetti sticks and the masking tape to create a tall structure. The structure should have the
marshmallow at its tip.
Note: this activity can be done as a game. The group will complete as to who can build the tallest
structure using the materials within a given time period (e.g., 10 minutes)
3. The spaghetti sticks and the masking tape can be broken in constructing the tower.
4. Your tower should be able to hold and not collapse, as your teacher takes its measurement. The
measurement will be done from the base of the tower to the top.
Guide Questions:
1. What were the factors that you considered in the design of your tower?
2. Did you change your plan at some point? why?
3. Given another chance to do this task, will you employ the same strategy in building the tower, or will
you devise another way to make the tower even higher or stronger? Explain your answer.
Activity 4: Baking Soda Volcano
Objectives:
 Make a model of volcano.
 Perform the baking soda volcanic eruption.
Materials:
2 tablespoons of baking soda Cloth Vinegar

Dishwashing detergent (liquid) Bottle (any size) Warm water
Food color Tablespoon Baking dish or pan
PROCEDURE:
 Process of volcanic eruption
1. Fill the bottle most of the way full with warm water and a bit of food color (any color).
2. Add 6 drops of detergent to the bottle contents.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to the contents.
4. Slowly pour vinegar into the bottle.
5. Watch the eruption!
Guide Question: Describe the process of volcanic eruption based from the experiment.
Criteria:
Volcanic Eruption = 5 points
Volcanic Diagram = 5 points
Creativity = 5 points
Presentation = 10 points
Utilization of Scientific concepts = 10 points
TOTAL= 35 points
C. Deepen:
Activity 5: Viscosity Race
Materials: four pieces of cone out of a cardboard, clear drinking glass, beaker, drinking straw, tray, timer,
water, syrup, honey and cooking oil.
Procedure:
1. Before doing the activity, predict which liquid (water, syrup, honey, and cooking oil) takes the least amount
of time to reach the tray.
Which liquid will take the most amount of time?
2. Place the cone marked A, B, C, and D on the tray.
3. Pour water on the top of cone A. Record the time it takes for the water to reach the tray.
4. Do it three times for each material.
NOTE: Use the same amount of material each time.
Table: Travel time of some liquids

Question 1: Is your prediction correct?

Question 2: Which liquid is the most viscous? How do you know?
Question 3: Which liquid is the least viscous?
Question 4: Explain viscosity in your own words.
Question 5: Compare how these liquids flow with to how you think lava flows. Why do some types of lava
travel faster than others?
6. Put 100 ml syrup in a clear glass.

7. Using a drinking straw, blow some air from the bottom of the liquid. Observe.
8. Repeat procedure 7 by blowing harder on the liquid. Observe.
Activity 6: Poster Making
“Preparation is always better than cure”. This is especially important for disaster mitigation and
preparedness measures. We are well-informed about the hazards we face as a nation. But sometimes, we seem
to be unprepared for them. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and their associated dangers have been brought to the
attention of people.
As a student, how will you going to promote disaster mitigation and preparedness through poster
making.
Criteria:
Coverage of the topic- 5 points
Organization – 5 points
Layout and Design – 5 points
Mechanics – 5 points
TOTAL = 20 points

Activity 6: Mini-Task
You are a science journalist. You regularly write articles about different geological events published in a
science magazine. For the next month’s issue, you are tasked to write about the hazards of earthquakes,
tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, and their destructive effects to people and other living things. Your
article will be evaluated by the editor in chief according to the relevance to the theme and appropriateness
and clarity of content.
Criteria:
Relevance to the theme = 5 points
Appropriateness = 5 points
Clarity of Content = 5 points
TOTAL: 15 Points
