A. Content Standards
Philippines.
The learners shall be able to participate in activities that reduce risks and lessen
B. Performance Standards
effects of climate change.
The learners should be able to describe the different types of volcanoes (S9ES-IIIa-
25).
C. Learning Competencies/ Specifically, at the end of the period, the learners will be able to:
Objectives 1. Describe the structure of a volcano;
Write the LC code for 2. Compare the characteristics of the different types of volcanoes according
each
to shape; and
3. Construct models of shield, composite and cinder volcanoes.

IV. PROCEDURES
Review on the past lesson. Ask the following questions:
A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting the  What are the different parts of a volcano?
new lesson  Describe the materials that come out of a volcano.

State that all volcanoes are formed in the same manner and possess similar parts.
B. Establishing a purpose Stimulate the minds of the learners by asking whether all volcanoes are the same
for the lesson or not. Every answer must be accepted. Learners’ responses and misconceptions
will be checked in the later part of the lesson.
C. Presenting Present pictures of different volcanoes found in the Philippines and around the
examples/instances of world. Allow the learners to observe each picture carefully. Use the pictures in the
the new lesson attached handout.
Divide the class into five groups. Give them the task for the day and a copy of the
pictures which were shown previously. (Do not show the label of the type of

#1 Group Task:
Given the pictures of different volcanoes, group them and provide justifications for
your grouping. Name the group that you will make.

 What are the similarities among the volcanoes in the group?

 Why did the volcanoes form a structure shown in your model?

G. Finding practical Give more names/pictures of volcanoes found in the Philippines. Highlight that
applications of concepts most of the volcanoes in our country are composite or stratovolcano. Elicit the

TEACHER HANDOUT
Composite/Stratovolcano

A conical shape, with a steep summit area and more gradually sloping flanks. This is a consequence of the
way viscous lava and pyroclastic ejecta contribute to the growth of the cone. Course fragments ejected from the
summit crater tend to accumulate near their source. Because of high angle of repose, course materials contribute to
the steep slopes of the summit area. Finer ejecta are deposited as a thin layer over a large area. During the early
stages of growth, lavas tend to be more abundant and flow greater distances from the vent than lavas do later in the
volcano’s history. This contributes to the cone’s broad base. As the volcano matures, the shorter flows that come
from the central vent serve to armor and strengthen the summit area. Most of these volcanoes are located in a
relatively narrow zone that rims the Pacific Ocean, appropriately called the Ring of Fire. This is why most of the
volcanoes in the Philippines are composite cones or stratovolcanoes.

Mt. Fuji, Japan

Cinder/Scoria volcano
These volcanoes are built from ejected lava fragments that take on the appearance of cinders or clinkers as
they begin to harden in flight. These pyroclastic fragments range in size from fine ash to bombs that may exceed a
meter in diameter. Cinder cones have very simple, distinctive shapes determined by the slope that loose pyroclastic
material maintains as it comes to rest. Cinder cones are steep-sided, having slopes between 30-40 degrees. They
have large deep craters in relation to the overall size of the structure. Cinder cones are small, usually between 30 –
300 meters.

Shield Volcano
Shield volcanoes are produced by the accumulation of fluid basaltic lavas and exhibit the shape of a broad,
slightly domed structure that resembles a warrior’s shield.
