This document outlines a lesson plan on plate tectonic theory. The objectives are to discuss plate tectonic theory, explain how tectonic plates move, and enumerate the different plates and how they are named. The lesson includes activities where students will use an interactive platform to describe Earth's lithosphere, explain how various landforms form through demonstrations with paper, and discuss phenomena related to plate tectonic theory. Students will complete a short quiz to evaluate their understanding. The lesson aims to help students understand the relationship between locations of volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges.

11. •Choose 1
landform and
explain how it
forms.

12. EXPLAIN

13. Explain
Materials:
1 bond paper
Procedure:
1.Place the paper in smooth surface
2.Put your hands on both end of the paper
3.Push the paper inward and observe what will
happen
4.Pull the edge of the bond paper as much as
you can and observe what will happen.
5.What landform could possible form from that
action?

14. Explain
Guide Questions:
1.What happen as you push the paper
inward?
2.Why does it happen?
3.What landform could possible form
from that action?
4.What happen as you pull the paper
outward?
5.Why does it happen?
6.What landform could possible form
from that action?

15. Explain:
Discuss the guide questions

16. Plate
Tectonic
Theory
• Theory that Earth's
outer shell is divided
into several plates
that glide over the
mantle, the rocky
inner layer above the
core.

17. Plate
Tectonic
Theory
•Developed from the
1950s through the
1970s, plate tectonics is
the modern version of
continental drift, a
theory first proposed by
scientist Alfred Wegener
in 1912.

19. Plate Tectonics
•The driving force
of plate tectonic
is the Convection
Current.
