Objective:
e. Illustrate how energy from volcanoes may be tapped for human use
3) Technology - Geothermal Energy: Explore how the energy from volcanoes can be
harnessed for human use through geothermal power plants.
ELICIT:
Anecdote 1: Share a story about the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and its impact on
the surrounding areas in the Philippines.
Anecdote 2: Discuss the legend of Mayon Volcano and how it is a symbol of love in
Filipino culture.
ENGAGE:
1) Idea - Create an interactive quiz where students can test their knowledge on
different types of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions.
2) Idea - Conduct a virtual field trip to a volcano using 360-degree videos and virtual
reality headsets.
EXPLORE:
Significance: This activity allows students to create their own models of volcanoes,
enhancing their understanding of different types of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions.
Instructions:
5) Allow students to present their models to the class, explaining the characteristics
of their chosen volcanoes.
Rubric:
Assessment Questions:
Instructions:
1) Assign each student a different case study article on a specific volcanic eruption.
2) Instruct students to read and analyze the article, focusing on the types of
volcanoes involved, the eruption process, and the effects on the surrounding areas.
3) Facilitate a class discussion where students present their case studies and
discuss commonalities and differences among the volcanic eruptions.
Rubric:
