Detailed Lesson Plan in Science 6
Date: ____________
I. OBJECTIVE:
Describe the each layer of the earth.
Values: Be knowledgeable
A. Science Concept/Idea:
The crust is the outermost layer of the earth composed of a variety of loose
solid rocks, like a skin of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
The mantle which lies beneath the crust is composed of solid rocks and hot
molten rocks.
The core is the innermost part of the earth, comprised of a) the inner core, at
the center of the earth, made of iron; and b).the outer core, which surrounds
the inner core, made of iron and magma.
B. Science Processes:
Description, Inference
C. Materials:
Picture of the Earth’s Interior
References:

Teacher’s Manual, pp. 127-129
III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Review/Checking of Assignment
What is the outermost layer of the earth? What is the innermost layer of
the earth?
B. Developmental Activities:
1. Motivation:
Miners and oil drillers have drilled into the earth but none of them has dug
deeper than a few thousand meters. If you are one of those, what will you do?
2. Presentation:
Show illustration of the earth’s interior.
Scientists have investigate the different layers of the earth through core
drilling, analysis of volcanic materials and earthquake waves.
Pupils describe the layers of the earth by means of an illustration.
3. Discussion/Analysis:
a. What is the earth’s crust consists of?
b. What is the layer beneath the crust?
4. Concept Formation/Generalization:
How can you describe the structure of the earth’s interior, like crust,
mantle core?
5. Application:
Why do you think it is important to know the layers of the earth or what is
beneath the earth’s surface?
IV. EVALUATION:
Write the term being described in each statement below. Write the answer
on the space provided before each number.
1. ___________ is the science that deals with the earth's physical properties and
structure.
2. ___________ it has two types the continental and oceanic.
3. ___________ is the molten rock found in mantle.
V. ASSIGNMENT:
1. Find out why the earth’s interior is very hot.
2. Find out why scientists were able to arrive at the distinct layers of the earth.
