This semi-detailed science lesson plan aims to teach 10th grade students about the Continental Drift Theory. The lesson involves students recreating the supercontinent Pangaea by arranging cut-out continents. Students will then discuss the positions of the continents in Pangaea and two pieces of evidence that supported Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Theory: the apparent fit of continents and fossil correlation between continents. To check understanding, students will predict where the Philippines may be located in the future and discuss if the two presented evidence were enough to convince people in Wegener's time of continental drift.

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous lesson
or presenting the new
lesson
ELICIT
Startwith a recall question.
“What is Pangaea?Whataretheseven continentsof theworld?”
Showthemthe picture of Pangaea and tellthem how is it related to the lesson
“CONTINENTALDRIFTTHEORY”
B. Establishing a purpose for
the lesson
ENGAGE
Ask two students to volunteer in forming the puzzle of the photo of Alfred
Wegenerbutdon’ttell themyetthe name of the scientist.
After the puzzle is formed, ask the students if they know the name of the scientist.
Tell themwhatishiscontributioninthe history of Plate Tectonics.
C. Presenting
examples/instances of the
new lesson
D. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills #1
EXPLORE
Performthe Activity“DRIFTEDSUPERCONTINENT”(refer to page 59 of Science 10 LM)

before?
4. What are the two evidences which supported the Continental Drift Theory based
fromyour activity?
F. Developing mastery (leads
to Formative Assessment 3)
EXPLAIN
Discusssionandcheckingof the guide questionswill be done simultaneously.

day(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaUk94AdXPA)
Discussthe two evidenceswhichsupportedContinental DriftTheory.
G. Finding practical
applications of concepts and
skills in daily living
ELABORATE
To check their mastery of the concept, teacher asks students what the world would
looklike millionyearsfromnow if the continentscontinue tomove.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwWWuttntio
Where do you think was the Philippines located during the time that Pangaea
existed?
Where is the Philippineslocatedatthe presenttime?
Where do youthinkPhilippineswill be located300millionyearsfromnow?
H. Making generalizations and
abstractions about the
lesson
I. Evaluating learning
EVALUATE
If you live in Wegener’s time, are the two evidences presented;apparent fit of the
continentsandfossil correlationenoughforyoutobelieve him?Why?
J. Additional activities for
application or remediation
EXTEND
Study in advance the 3rd
and 4th
evidence presented by Alfred Wegener in his
Continental DriftTheory.
