Earth's layer
LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 6 (Semi-detailed)
I. OBJECTIVES a. Identify the layers of the Earth;
b. Describe each layer and its composition; and
c. Label the layers of the Earth’s surface.
II. LEARNING TASKS a. Topic: The Earth’s Surface b. Concepts: a. The major sections of the earth based on chemical composition are the crust, mantle and the core.
b. The crust is the outer layer; the mantle is the middle layer and the core the inner layer. c. Values: Gratefulness d. Skills: Comparing and differentiating e. Strategies: Cooperative learning; Trigger Pictures f. Materials: Pictures, diagram, globe, hard-boiled egg g. References: Into The Future: Science and Health; pp. 196-198
V. LESSONS
Lesson One: Will the Layers of Earth Stay Together?
A. Daily Objectives
1. Concept Objectives
