Let’s Explore!
Described as
mountains that emit
volcanic products

Categorized based VOLCANO

on their shape and Mountain that are
structure and formed through the
volcanic activity deposits of volcanic
product
Let’s Explore – Picture Reading!

Directions:
1. Group yourselves into 7.
2. Each group will be given an activity sheets to work on.
3. Read the directions written in your activity sheets.
4. You have 15 minutes to work the task.
Let’s Explain!

Directions:
Share your work with other group.
 Let’s Elaborate!

Volcanoes have three (3) major categories based on structure/morphology.

Composite or
Cinder Cone Shield
Stratovolcano
• Steep slope • Wide base • Halfway of having
• Emits ash during • Emits lava steep slope and
eruption • Looks like shield wide base
• Emits both ash and
lava
 Let’s Elaborate!

Volcanoes have three (3) major categories based on structure.

Stratovolcano
 Let’s Elaborate!

Volcanoes have three (3) major categories based on behavior.

Active Dormant Extinct

• Currently erupting or • Not currently erupting • Considered as dead
are expected to erupt but have erupted and are not expected
in the near future within recordable to erupt in the future
history and are
expected to erupt
again in the future
Check this out!

Characterize the type of volcano shown in the picture below in terms of its
morphology. Identify whether it is active, dormant, or extinct.

Morphology

Behavior
Generalization

Volcanoes are characterized based on structure and

volcanic activity on its behavior.
Assessment – Toy Claw Mania

Directions:
1.Nine (9) students will play the Toy Claw Mania.
2.Each ‘toy’ represents a question that students will have to
answer.
3.Five (5) points each correct answer.
Extend – Performance Task

Directions:
