A. Reviewing Start the lesson by reviewing the Start the lesson by reviewing Start the lesson by reviewing the
basic concepts related to plate the basic concepts related to basic concepts related to rock
tectonics. Discuss the Earth's rock formation. Discuss the formation and the principles of
lithosphere, the movement of three main types of rocks stratigraphy. Discuss the
tectonic plates, and their (igneous, sedimentary, and importance of understanding the
interactions at plate boundaries. metamorphic) and their age of rocks in interpreting
 Ask questions to gauge students'
understanding:
"What are tectonic plates?"
"How do tectonic plates move,
and what happens at plate
boundaries?"
B. Motivation Capture students' interest with
visuals or a short video on the
effects of plate movement:
Show animations or real-time
footage of tectonic plate
movement.
Discuss famous geological
features like mountain ranges
and earthquakes.
Ask questions like, "What do you
think causes the Earth's crust to
deform?"
C. Learning Activities
Introduction to Plate Tectonics:
Provide an overview of plate
tectonics, discussing divergent,
convergent, and transform plate
boundaries.
Explain the different types of
plate movements, including
subduction, spreading, and
lateral sliding.
Formation of Folds:
Discuss how compressional
forces at convergent plate
characteristics. Ask questions
to gauge students'
understanding:
"What are the different types of
rocks?"
"How do sedimentary rocks
differ from igneous and
metamorphic rocks?"
Capture students' interest with
visuals or a brief activity related
to stratified rocks:
Show images or samples of
well-defined layers in
sedimentary rocks.
Discuss the importance of
understanding rock layers in
deciphering Earth's history.
Ask questions like, "What do
you think causes the formation
of distinct layers in rocks?"
Introduction to Stratification:
Define stratification as the
process of forming distinct
layers (strata) in sedimentary
rocks.
Discuss the importance of
sedimentary rocks in
preserving a record of Earth's
past environments.
Formation of Sedimentary
Rocks:
Explore the processes of
sedimentation, compaction,
Earth's history. Ask questions to
gauge students' understanding:
"Why is it important to know the
age of rocks?"
"What are some methods you
know for dating rocks?"
Capture students' interest with
visuals or a brief activity related
to dating stratified rocks:
Show images of rock layers with
different colors and patterns.
Discuss the concept of time
capsules and how rocks can act
as geological time capsules.
Ask questions like, "How do
scientists determine the age of
these rock layers?"
Introduction to Relative Dating:
Define relative dating as the
method of determining the
relative order of past events
without determining the exact
age.
Discuss principles of relative
dating, including the law of
superposition, cross-cutting
relationships, and the principle of
original horizontality.
Methods of Relative Dating:
Explore different methods of
 boundaries lead to the formation
of folds in the Earth's crust.
Use diagrams and animations to
illustrate the folding process,
emphasizing anticlines and
synclines.
Formation of Faults:
Explore how shearing forces at
transform plate boundaries and
compressional or tensional
forces at convergent boundaries
lead to the formation of faults.
Discuss the types of faults,
including normal, reverse, and
strike-slip faults.
Interactive Activities:
Engage students in hands-on or
virtual activities to simulate plate
movements and the resulting
formation of folds and faults.
Use models or interactive
software to demonstrate the
deformation of the Earth's crust.
D. Applications Earthquake Preparedness:
Discuss the practical applications
of understanding folds and faults
in earthquake-prone regions.
Explore how knowledge of fault
lines contributes to earthquake
preparedness and risk
assessment.
and cementation that lead to
the formation of sedimentary
rocks.
Discuss the role of different
sediments (clay, silt, sand,
gravel) in creating distinct
layers.
Types of Stratification:
Introduce different types of
stratification, such as cross-
bedding, graded bedding, and
ripple marks.
Use diagrams and real-world
examples to illustrate each
type.
Interactive Activities -
Sedimentation Model:
Engage students in a hands-on
activity or virtual simulation to
demonstrate the formation of
layers in sedimentary rocks.
Provide different sediment
types and simulate the
processes of deposition and
compaction.
Geological Mapping Exercise:
Discuss how geologists use
stratification to interpret past
environments and events.
Assign students a project to
create a simplified geological
map that identifies different
rock layers in a specific
relative dating, such as
stratigraphic correlation, fossil
succession, and the study of
unconformities.
Use diagrams and examples to
illustrate how these methods are
applied to determine the relative
ages of rock layers.
Introduction to Absolute Dating:
Define absolute dating as the
method of determining the exact
numerical age of a rock or fossil.
Introduce radiometric dating
methods, including carbon-14
dating for younger rocks and
isotopic dating (such as uranium-
lead dating) for older rocks.
Interactive Activities - Dating
Simulation:
Engage students in a hands-on
activity or virtual simulation to
simulate the processes of
relative and absolute dating.
