PROCEDURE:
Element of
the Plan
Awareness State Continental Drift Theory

Activity Let students perform the activity 4: Drifted Supercontinent (found page 58, Science
10 LM)
What do the Glossopteris fossils tell us about the early positions of the continents?
If the climate and the position of a place are relative to each other, where then was
Analysis
the initial location of Antarctica 250 million years ago?
What does the presence of Mesosaurus fossils tell about the initial location and
positioning of South America, Africa, and Antarctica?
Abstraction Clues that are useful in reconstructing Pangaea: Continental Jigsaw puzzle, fossils,
coal deposits and formation of rocks.

Application If the continents will continue to move, predict the Philippines’ location 100 million
years from now.

Which continents do you think were neighbors before? Is there a possibility that the
Assessment
current location of a continent would be different 100 years from now?

Where do you think was the Philippines located during the time that the Pangaea
Assignment
existed? Research on how the Philippine islands emerged.
Prepare for group reporting.
