7E INQUIRY -BASED APPROACH LESSON STUDY

Topic/Title PROCESSES AND LANFORM ALONG PLATE BOUNDERIES

Grade Level X
Time Allotment 1 hour
Teacher VALERIE S. FERRER
Learning Objectives
I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Explain concepts related to earthquakes
2. How seismic risk is estimated based from its strength and size
3. Compare seismic waves and interpret graphs relating to seismic waves.
A. CONTENT STANDARDS:
 The learners demonstrate an understanding of the relationship among the
locations of volcanoes, earthquakes epicenters and mountain ranges.
B. PERFOMANCE STANDARDS
 The learner shall be able to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes,
tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
C. LEARNING COMPETENCIES
 Explain the different processes that occur along plate boundaries.
II. CONTENT : Processes and landforms along Plate boundaries
III. LEARNING RESOURCES
1. Teacher's Guide ( TG10 pp. 9-14)
2. Learner's Material (No.3)
3. Textbook ( Science for inovative Minds 10 pp.33-54)

IV. PROCEDURE
A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson.
Elicit (5minutes)
Activity 1 : 4 pics 1 word (Powerpoint Presentation)
Present the images. Let them gues what the picture all about. All words are associated with
the previous lessons. The first student to gues the correct answer will get a reward.

(Answers: Mountain,crust, volcano)

Follow up questions:
1. How many lithospheric or crustal plates our planet Earth have?
2. How do these plates classify?
3. Ehat are the bases of dividing the lithospheric plates?

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

ENGAGE (5MINUTES)
Video Clip: “Caught in the Ocean during the 2004 tsunami” https://youtu.be/W-6ho3zX6fc
C. Presenting examples/ instances of the new lesson
The teacher ask the following questions to connect previous lesson to present:
1. Can we predict this kind of natural phenomenon?
2. As human, how do we mitigate its effects?
3. Does the knowledge about how earth behaves help us understand this kind of
catastrophic event?
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
EXPLORE (15 MINUTES )
 Let class explore the 3D simulation. From the simulation given, let them create their
own central idea. Let them define that idea and share them in the class. Ask also to
give their personal experiences about it.
Using the secind video clip, let them create their schematic diagram from they learn
from the video. Then let some volunteer's share their works in the class.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
- Assist the class in doing activity.
F. Developing mastery ( leads to formative Assessment)
EXPLAIN (18 MINUTES)
Explain the topic using the following guide questions:
1. What are the features of an Earthquake?
2. Where do earthquakes commonly occur?
3. How does earthquake measured in terms of magnitude and intensity?
4. How does earthquake epicenter located using seismic wave graphs?
5. What is correlation of earthquakes to the plate tectonics?

G-H. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living and making
generalizations and abstractions about the lesson.

Using the graphic organizer, give one central ideas that you have learned in this
lesson. To complete the bubbles, write 8 ideas related to central ideas. Then answer the
following reflective questions and present the accomplished graphic organizer to the class.

ELABORATE (10 MINUTES )

Reflective Questions:
1. How graphic organizer help you to understand the accurance of earhquake in the
philippines and the other coutries along the Pasific ring of fire?
2. Why is it important to increase the level of awareness and preparedness of Filipinos
toward natural calamities such as Earthquakes?

I. Evaluating learning
EVALUATE ( 5 MINUTES)
Instruction: The class will be divided into 2 groups (Group A & group B) . The
members who will be first to tupe their names and group will be the one to answer the
questions. Every correct answer will garner specific points, group with the highest scire will be
consider as the winner of the game.

Questions:
1. Which of the following is used to measure magnitude?
a. Richter scale
b. Mercalli scale
c. Shadow zone
d. Seismigraph
2. Which of the following best describes earthquake intensity.
a. A measure of sismic risk
 b. A measure of damage done
c. A measure of the earthquake's focus
d. A measure of energy released
3. In which order will a seismogram record seismic waves?
a. S-wave, P-wave, Surface wave
b. P-wave, S-wave, Surface wave
c. Surface wave, P-waves, S-waves
d. P-wave, Surface waves, S-waves
4. This is the point on earth's surface where the energy of an earthquake is felt the
most?
a. Eye
b. Fault
c. Focus
d. Epicenter
5. What is an earthquake?
a. When the earth causes an upward thrust in the epicenter
b. When the trctonic plates move against each other causing the earth to move.
c. When the earth moves up and down along the ocean floor
d. None of above
J. Additional activities for applications or remediation

EXTEND (2 MINUTES )
Reflective writing:
The Philippines experience earthquakes because of its geographical location. The different
intensities and magitudes of the earthquakes determine its effects to the society and the
community. Several reports were seen in the televesion and other information platforms about
the effects of earthquakes. As a student and a member of a community, what are your social
responsibilities in times of a natural calamity such as earthquakes? Write your reflection in
your notebook.
V. REMARKS

VI. REFLECTION
