Competencies Quarter 1
 Enumerate the lines of evidence that support plate movement.

Knowledge : Define seafloor spreading. Week 8

Learning Skills : Simulate and describe the seafloor spreading
Objectives process.
Day 4
Attitudes : Realize the importance of the seafloor spreading
process relative to the Continental Drift Theory.
Duration
Topic: The Earth’s Mechanism

Resources
Science 10 LM, Illustration of Magnetic Polarity (Student’s output)
Needed

PROCEDURE:
Element of
the Plan

Awareness What is seafloor spreading? Who proposed this theory?

Activity Demonstration of output and interactive discussion by group.

What do the stripes in the paper represent?

Analysis What does the middle slit represent? What occurs in this region?
What is the role of the mid–ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plates?
Seafloor Spreading theory states that , hot, less dense material from below the earth’s
crust rises towards the surface at the mid-ocean ridge. This material flows sideways
Abstraction
carrying the seafloor away from the ridge, and creates a crack in the crust. The
magma flows out of the crack, cools down and becomes the new seafloor.

Application How does the new seafloor form at the mid-ocean ridge?

Students rated on their outputs based on the following:

Assessment A. Presentation of simulation activity – 20 points.
B. Interactive discussion – 10 points.

Assignment Prepare for the demonstration of output and group discussion.
