SCIENCE (EARTH AND SPACE) /QUARTER 3 / GRADE 8

I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content Standards The learners learn that: (2) Volcanic terrain is built by the slow accumulation of erupted lava.

B. Performance Learners demonstrate an appreciation of the large-scale features of the ‘blue planet’ Earth. They identify and
Standards describe the nature and impact of volcanic activity in building new crust and identify that these crust forming
processes account for patterns and changes in the distribution of volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain chains
that have occurred over time.

C. Learning Learning Competency 3: The learners describe the different types of volcanoes found around the world
Competencies and according to their: a. activity, b. type of eruption and c. location in the crust; and,
Objectives Learning Competency 4: The learners relate the shape of a volcano’s cone to its composition.
Learning Objective 1: Describe the formation and composition of the magma.
Learning Objective 2: Explain the effect of temperature and composition on its viscosity.
Learning Objective 3: Relate the characteristics of magma with the type of volcanic eruption.

D. Content Types of Eruption - One of the major factors that affects the nature of volcanic eruption is the composition of
silica poor magma and silica rich magma.

1. Quiet Eruption -Magma that is relatively low in silica is


called basaltic magma. It is fluid and produces quiet,
nonexplosive eruptions such as those at Kilauea.

2. Explosive Eruption - Explosive Magma Silica-rich, or
granitic, magma produces explosive eruptions. Silica-rich granitic magma is thick, and gas gets trapped
inside, causing pressure to build up. When an explosive eruption occurs. The gasses expand rapidly,
carrying pieces of lava as shown in the explosion below.

E. Integration ● Disaster preparedness - Students will consider the impact of volcanoes on the human ecosystem.
● Resilience – Students will develop a culture of preparedness and safety in school as well as resilience in
school communities/ can simulate a self- rescue action in the event of a catastrophic volcano eruption.
