 SCIENCE 6

Date: ____________

I. OBJECTIVE:
 Describe the each layer of the earth.

Values: Be knowledgeable

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

Topic – The Layers of Earth

A. Science Concept/Idea:
 The crust is the outermost layer of the earth composed of a variety of loose
solid rocks, like a skin of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
 The mantle which lies beneath the crust is composed of solid rocks and hot
molten rocks.
 The core is the innermost part of the earth, comprised of a) the inner core, at
the center of the earth, made of iron; and b).the outer core, which surrounds
the inner core, made of iron and magma.

B. Science Processes:
Description, Inference

C. Materials:
Picture of the Earth’s Interior

III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Review/Checking of Assignment
What is the outermost layer of the earth? What is the innermost layer of
the earth?

B. Developmental Activities:
1. Motivation:
Miners and oil drillers have drilled into the earth but none of them has dug
deeper than a few thousand meters. If you are one of those, what will you do?

2. Presentation:
 Show illustration of the earth’s interior.
 Scientists have investigate the different layers of the earth through core
drilling, analysis of volcanic materials and earthquake waves.
  Pupils describe the layers of the earth by means of an illustration.

3. Discussion/Analysis:
a. What is the earth’s crust consists of?
b. What is the layer beneath the crust?

4. Concept Formation/Generalization:
How can you describe the structure of the earth’s interior, like crust,
mantle core?

5. Application:
Why do you think it is important to know the layers of the earth or what is
beneath the earth’s surface?

IV. EVALUATION:
Write the term being described in each statement below. Write the answer
on the space provided before each number.

1. ___________ is the science that deals with the earth's physical properties and
structure.
2. ___________ it has two types the continental and oceanic.
3. ___________ is the molten rock found in mantle.

V. ASSIGNMENT:
1. Find out why the earth’s interior is very hot.
2. Find out why scientists were able to arrive at the distinct layers of the earth.
