IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preparatory Activities Start the day by doing daily usual routines.
B. Motivation Conduct a short review on the previous lessons by
asking the following questions:
1. What is Plate Tectonics?
(Ans. The plates move very slowly but constantly,
and this movement is called tectonics; thus the
theory of moving lithospheric plates is called plate
tectonics.)
2. What is lithosphere?
(Ans. The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of
the crust and upper mantle.)
3. What are the two layers of the lithosphere?
(Ans. Crust and Upper Mantle)
4. Define the two kinds of crust.
(Ans. There are two kinds of crust: the thicker but
less dense continental crust and the oceanic crust
which is relatively thinner but denser than
continental crust)
5. What method is being used in order to
determine the location of an earthquake?
(Ans. Triangulation Method)

6. State the processes employed in doing

triangulation method.
(Ans. After knowing the Time difference between
the P and S waves, a circle will be drawn where the
seismic station will serve as the center of the circle.

 The distance computed will serve as the radius.
After which, to a point where the circles intersect is
the epicenter of an earthquake)
C. Activity Emphasize to the students to observe the basic
standards in taking the test.

The teacher will distribute a copy of the weekly test

papers to the students.
(See attachment A)
The teacher may also state the questions orally or
project on a wider screen using slide presentations.

Remember to observe exact time allotment for

students in taking the test.
D. Analysis The teacher may have the option of asking the
students to exchange papers during checking.
Ask the students the following questions:
1. Which part of the test that you find hard to answer?
(Will depend on the result of the test)
2. What difficulties did you encounter while taking the
test?
(Will depend on the result of the test)
3. Which part of the test you did well?
(Will depend on the result of the test)
E. Abstraction On this part of the lesson, the teacher will facilitate the
learning gaps encountered by the students while
taking the test.

The discussion will depend on the items which has

H. Generalization
higher frequency of error.
The teacher will record the scores of the learners and
have to determine the mastery level of the class and
design strategy for immediate intervention
Emphasize to the learners that the occurrence of
earthquake is the only phenomenon that cannot be
predicted in terms of location and timing. However, the
knowledge on understanding the nature of waves in
relation to the location of the earthquake should be
understood.
In order to locate the epicenter of an earthquake, you
need to determine the arrival of the P and S waves
(the S-P interval) on the seismograms from at least
three different stations. You have to measure the
interval to the closest second and then use a graph to
convert the S-P interval to the epicentral distance.
Once you have the epicentral distances, you can draw
circles to represent each distance on a map. The
radius of each circle corresponds to the epicentral
distance for each seismic recording station. Once you
have drawn all three circles and located the point

 where all three intersect, you will have successfully
located (triangulated) the epicenter of the earthquake.
I. Evaluation The lesson plan focuses on the weekly evaluation,
however, the teacher is expected to facilitate the
effectivity and reliability of implementing the test.
J. Additional activities for No assignment will be given for learners before
application or weekends.
