Lesson Presentation:
CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY
MELC: Enumerate the lines of evidence that support plate
movement.(S10ES-a-j36.6)
Objectives:
1. Describe continental drift theory.
2. Determine how the shape of the continents support
Continental Drift Theory.
3. Appreciate the importance of knowing the history of
Continental Drift Theory.
4. Trace the location of the fossil remains of extinct
plant and animals to support Continental Drift Theory.

A. EXPLORE (The teacher will divide the students into 2 groups and will give
A. (Activity) differentiated activity.)
GROUP 1
Activity: “Evolution of Continents”
https://padlet.com/recajoysonico/s1x55g5401jh13za

Group 2
Activity: “You must be fit to find a match!”
https://padlet.com/recajoysonico/y4mwfhf3fxn26hcg

1. Based on your activity, what is Pangaea?

2. Do you believe that these continents were really once a
supercontinent? Why or why not?
3. What feature of the continents helped you determine the two
continents that you think were neighbors before?
4. How does the feature of the continent helped you confirmed
that the two continents were neighbors before?

B. EXPLAIN The teacher lets the student watch the video clip from the movie,
“Ice Age”.
1. Based on the movie, how do you describe Continental Drift
theory?
2. What are the evidences that you can see from the movie
that supports Continental Drift theory?
3. Based on what you have seen, what is the importance of
knowing the history of the continents?
 DISCUSSION OF THE LESSON

CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY

INTEGRATION: English 7(Cite evidence to support a general

statement. EN7RC-IV-g10.4)
EVIDENCES:
1. SHAPE OF THE CONTINENTS
2. FOSSIL REMAINS
3. ROCK FORMATIONS
4. COAL DEPOSITS
INTEGRATION
Just also like how you direct proof in your Mathematics
subject where you show the truth or falsehood of a given
statement by a straightforward combination of established facts,
(M8GE-IIi-j-1) or how you prove that two triangles are
congruent, (M8GE-IIIh-1) so as Wegener provided evidences to
prove his theory.

Valuing:
Seeing how hard one could find evidences to prove
something, In his pursuit to find evidences that supports
Continental Drift Theory, what traits did Alfred Wegener
had shown??

C. ELABORATE “A Journey from Past to present!”

Directions: Make your own Pangea by tracing the location of the
fossil remains of extinct plants and animals to support continental
drift theory through this link.

a_journey_from_past_to_present_3pbkxhcf8.puzzle
1. How does fossil evidence helped you put together the continents
to form Pangaea?
2. How does fossil evidence helped you confirm the Continental
Drift theory?
3. What do the Glossopteris fossils tell us about the early
positions of the continents?
4. If Glossopteris fossils were found in Antarctica, what was the
climate of this continent before?
 5. If the climate and the position of a place is relative to each
other, where then is the initial location of Antarctica 250 million
years ago?
6. What does the presence of Mesosaurus fossils tell about the
initial location and positioning of South America, Africa, and
Antarctica?

D. EVALUATIO Direction: Read and click the letter of the correct answer.

Continental Drift Theory?
A. Rock Formation
B. Shape of the Continents
C. Fossil remains
D. Magnetic stripes
2. What is Continental Drift Theory?
A. A theory which states that continents were one big
landmass.
B. A theory which states that continents were once spread.
C. A theory which proves Earth’s magnetic field.
D. A theory which explains the movements of lithospheric
plates.
3. How do fossil remains of extinct plants and animals support
Continental Drift Theory?
A. By finding them in several continents
B. By finding them in only one continent
C. By finding them completely distributed in the 7
continents
D. By being extinct and useless
4. Which of the following would not support Continental Drift?
A. Both North America and Africa have the same types of
Earthquakes.
B. Same rock formation is found on west of Africa and east
of South America
C. Same fossils in Australia and Antarctica
D. East border of South America has same pattern with
west border of Africa
5. If you are a cartographer, what will give you an idea that the
 continents were once joined?
A. Ocean depth
B. Position of the South Pole
C. Shape of the continents
D. Size of the Atlantic ocean

Song. You may use any music you would love. You send your video in
messenger or in my email address recajoy.sonico@deped.gov.ph.
