Syntax	Teacher Activity	Pupil Response
Phase 1 Presentation of Advance Organiser	Teacher presents the objective of the lesson in the classroom. A newspaper report related to a recent volcanic eruption in a foreign country is presented in the class. Teacher asks students whether they have heard about volcanic eruptions in the news. What is a volcano? Have you seen fire or molten material coming out from mountains in videos? What might be the reason for such eruptions? Considering the responses given by students, teacher shows videos related to volcanic eruptions occurring in different parts of the world and also a simple demonstration video showing boiling liquid overflowing from a container due to heat. Teacher asks: Why does the liquid overflow when heated? What might be happening inside the Earth? Teacher displays a chart showing names of famous volcanoes and the countries where they are located. ·         Mount Vesuvius — Italy ·         Krakatoa — Indonesia ·         Barren Island — India ·         Mount Fuji — Japan Teacher also explains the difficulties and dangers faced by people during volcanic eruptions with the help of pictures and videos.
Phase 2   Presentation of Learning Materials	Teacher presents the lesson. The Earth consists of three main layers: Crust Mantle Core The mantle contains molten material called magma. The crust is made up of large plates called tectonic plates which are constantly moving. When these plates move apart or collide, magma rises through cracks in the Earth’s crust and reaches the surface. This molten material that comes out is called lava. The opening through which magma comes out is called a volcanic vent. The accumulation of lava and materials around the vent forms a volcano. Teacher explains the types of volcanoes. Volcanoes are generally classified into three types: Active Volcano Volcanoes that erupt frequently or may erupt at any time. Examples: Mount Etna Barren Island Dormant Volcano Volcanoes that have not erupted recently but may erupt again in future. Examples: Mount Fuji Extinct Volcano Volcanoes that have not erupted for a very long time and are not expected to erupt again. Examples: Mount Kenya Teacher explains the importance of studying volcanoes and disaster preparedness measures.
Phase 3 Strengthening Cognitive Structure	Renewable Resources → Replenished naturally Non-renewable Resources → Limited and exhaustible   Students are given activities to classify resources into renewable and non-renewable categories. Teacher asks: Why should we protect non-renewable resources? Which resources are more environment friendly? Students respond and summarize learning.

Social System

Teacher remains a strong motivating factor during all three phases of the class.
Teacher controls the classroom and provides guidance and support whenever needed.
Interaction mainly occurs between teacher and students.

Principle of Reaction

Teacher tries to connect students’ prior knowledge with new knowledge in a meaningful way.
Teacher encourages responses and clarifies doubts at appropriate times.
Teacher maintains full control of the classroom while promoting participation.

Support System

• Videos related to volcanic eruptions

• Pictures of volcanoes

• Newspaper reports

• Charts and diagrams

• Concept map

• Blackboard
