3. Checking of attendance
Is everybody present today class?
Very good.
B. Motivation
C. Discussion
So, now lets proceed to our lesson for
today. Can somebody tell me what our
main topic is for today base on our game?
Ok very good!
Today we will be talking about Volcanoes.
Yesterday I told you to read about
volcanoes right?
What is Eruption?
Very good.
An eruption begins when pressure on the magma
chamber forces magma up through the conduit
and out of the volcanos vent.
When magma reaches the Earths surface it is
called lava. When the lava cools, it forms rock.
On the Earth today there are around 560 active
volcanoes. Each week 15 20 of these
volcanoes will erupt.
Violent eruptions can cause
Loss of lives
Damage to property
Other volcanoes may appear
Loss of livestock
Health problems
Acid Rain
Risks of mudslides
Living in fear
Earthquakes
Advantage of eruption:
Large

D. Application
(The pupils are grouped into 4)
So, to see what eruption looks like we will
be doing an activity. I ask you to bring the
following materials. Kindly prepare them
in the table so we can start.
I also brought my own material so we can
all enjoy this fun experiment. Are you all
ready?
Ok, we will create a clay model of a
volcano and make it erupt using the
materials that can be found at home.
Kindly follow my instructions:
1. Put the clean, empty bottle on the tray.
2. Using the modeling clay, make a
volcano around the bottle. Leave the area
around the top of the bottle open and
don't get any clay inside the bottle.
2. Once the clay volcano is finished, we
are going to make the lava mixture.
E. Evaluation of Activity
Answer the following question in a one
whole sheet of paper:
1. Describe the simulated eruption of your
model volcano. How was this simulation
similar to an actual eruption of this
volcano type? How is it different?
F. Assignment
Do you have questions class?
Very good.
For your assignment, I want you to:
1. Research about the things you must do
when theres a volcanic eruption.
2. Watch a video about different
calamities that struck the Philippines.
Write a short reaction paper on how you
will help during calamities especially if
theres a volcanic eruption.
Ok thats all for today! Goodbye class.
