LESSON PLAN IN EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE

Class:

LEARNING COMPETENCIES: The learner describes where the Earth’s internal heat
comes from and and descibe how magma is formed.

I. OBJECTIVES:

a. Know the sources and significance of the Earth’s internal heat.

b. Understand and explain the requirements for magma generation
c. Identify, understand, and explain magmatic differentation mechanisms operating
beneath the surface of the Earth.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

a. Topic: Endogenic Process

b. Reference/s:
Earth and Life Science Book
c. Materials:
Laptop, LCD/ Television, Activity Sheets

III. PROCEDURE

a. Preliminaries
Prayer
Greetings
Picking up piece of paper
Attendance
b. Review

What was our last topic?

c. Motivation
Show the students a piece of igneous rock. Ask the students the following:
a. How is an igneous rock formed?
b. If magma is defined as molten rock material, do you need to melt rocks to
form magma?
c. Is temperature increase solely responsible for the melting of rocks to form
magma?
d. Where and how magma formed?

d. Lesson Proper

- The teacher will discuss the two categories of internal heat. The estimated
heat of the Earth.
- The teacher will discuss the redistribution of the Earth’s heat.
- The formation of magma
- Crystal Fractionation, Partial Melting, Magma Mixing (magmatic
differentation mechanisms)

e. Application

The teacher will let his/her students bring the following:

Baking soda, vinegar, and bottled water
They will make an expirement on how volcano erupts.
 d. Abstraction
Primordial heat – heat from accretion and bombardment of the Earth during
the early stages of formation.
Radioactive heat – heat generated by long term radioactive decay.
Core mantle boundary – 3,700oC
Inner core – outer core boundary – 6,300oC ± 800oC
Earth’s center – 6,400oC±600oC
Magma formation – crust and mantle are entirely soid, indicating that magma
will only forms in special places where pre-existing rocks undergo melting.
Crystal Fractination – a chemical process by which the composition of liquid
such as magma, changes due to crystallization.
Partial Melting – quartz and muscovite are the most stable minerals in Earth’s
surface, making themt the first to melt.
Magma mixing – that may occur into two different magma rises up; with the
more bouyant mass overtakes the slowly rising body.

IV. EVALUATION

On a 1 whole sheet of paper you are going to answer the following:

1. Define viscosity
2. True or False. Magmatic differentation is the process creating one or more
secondary magmas from single parent magma.
Answer: True
3. What are the two primary sources of the Earth’s internal heat?
Answer: Primordial heat, Radioactive heat
4. Cite three tectonic settings where magma is formed.
Answer: Mid-oceanic ridges, hot spots and subduction zones.
5. What is decompression melting?
Answer: occures by reducing the pressure at a constant temperature.
6. How is the Earth’s internal heat redistributed?
 Answer: Magmag transfers the heat from the Earth’s interior to the surface when
it arises.

V. ASSIGNMENT/AGREEMENT

On a long bond paper.

Draw a schematic of a cross section of the Earth, showing the different layers of
the Earth label the following parts of the illustation:
1. Different tectonic settings where magma is generated.
2. The type of melting that is usually associated with the settings identified in # 1.

On a one whole sheet of paper.

Can the same volcano produce volcanic rocks with different compositions? How?
