Review

Before we proceed to our new lesson, what Pupils will respond

was our lesson, last week, class?

Motivation

Now I want you to see first the posted

pictures on the board. I want you to identify
what kind of landforms are them. There are
some words there on the table that you can
paste beside the given pictures if you know
what kind of landform it is.

(The Pupils will paste their answers in front.)

Ask:
What have you observed in the pictures? Pupils will respond.
Why do you think it is important to us to
know the different types of landforms?

Lecture and demonstration: (Pupils will listen to the discussion)

 The Land is also known as dry land, ground,
or earth, is the solid terrestrial surface of
Earth not submerged by the ocean or another
body of water.

Plain
A plain is a landmass that is flat or gently
rolling and covers many miles. There are
also different types of plains such as
prairies, grasslands, and steppes. It is
relatively flat and does not change much in
elevation within a common area.

Mountain
A mountain is an elevated portion of the
Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that
show significant exposed bedrock.

Hill
A hill is a piece of land that rises higher
than everything surrounding it. It looks like
a little bump in the Earth.

Valley
A valley is an elongated low area often
running between hills or mountains, which
will typically contain a river or stream
running from one end to the other.

Plateau
A plateau is a high land that is flat on top. It
is surrounded by steep rock called cliff.

Volcano
A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a
planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that
allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to
escape from a magma chamber below the
surface.

Island
An island is a body of land surrounded by
water.

Generalization:
What are the seven types of landforms? Pupils will respond
IV. Application
The class will be divided into 4 groups. The teacher will instruct them to draw a
landform that is found in their country and task them to label where is it located. The teacher
will allow them to use any coloring materials. Each group will be given ten minutes to draw
and label it.
The first group to finish will present their work in front of the class. Each group will
be graded based on the criteria presented by the teacher before doing the activity.

V. Evaluation
A. Identify the pictures below. Write their names on your paper.

3. 4.

5. 6.

B. Answer each question on your paper.

1. Which is lower, a plateau or a plain?

2. Which is higher, a hill or a mountain?
3. Which land is between two mountains, a plateau, or a valley?
4. Which is higher, a mountain or a plateau?
5. Which is a level in land, a hill or a plain?

ASSIGNMENT
In a short bondpaper draw any of the different kinds of land formations and
explain why you draw it.
