QUARTER NUMBER: FIRST August 13-17, 2018

SUBJECT MATTER: EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE

TOPIC / LESSON NAME MINERALS AND ROCKS

CONTENT STANDARDS The learners demonstrate an understanding of the three main categories of rocks.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The learners shall be able to make a plan that the community may use to conserve and protect its resources for future generations

LEARNING COMPETENCIES 1. classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic

At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:

1. Identify and describe the three basic rock types;

SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES
2. Establish relationships between rock types and their mode of origin and environments of deposition/formation; and
3. Understand the different geologic processes involved in rock formation.

PROCEDURE MEETING THE LEARNERS’ NEEDS

Introduction/Review: Teacher Tip:

*Begin with a review about the previous lesson and

Communicating learning objectives connect it to today’s lesson.
1. Introduce the following learning objectives using the suggested protocols (Verbatim, Own Words,
Read-aloud)
a. I can identify and describe the three basic rock types;
b. I can describe how and define what type of environment each of these rock types are formed;
c. I can describe how rocks are transformed from one rock type to another through the rock cycle;
d. I can identify and describe the different geologic processes that operate within the rock cycle.
Understanding key concepts The Rock Cycle provides us a comprehensive understanding how the 3 dominant rock types are formed. Based
on their physical and chemical properties, what could be the possible conditions of formation for each rock type?
Review
• The teacher discusses in review of minerals the 8 elements comprising almost 99% of the minerals making up the Earth’s crust.
Motivation:

Show a video of the different rock types. Tell the students that the video will only be played once and that they need to be attentive for the * Encourage students to participate in the activities and
upcoming discussion. After the discussion of the different types of rocks and their properties, show a short video about the rock cycle, in make them realize the importance of it
preparation for the discussions on the rock cycle.

Instruction/Delivery:
Give a Lecture about:

 Rock Classifications
 Rock Cycle.

Practice:
Concept Mapping – Types of Rocks
Group the class into three teams, each electing their leader. Provide each team a blank chart similar to the one below, written in a Manila paper.
Each team will fill up portions of the chart which correspond to the list of words provided to choose from. Group 1 to fill up the left side of the chart
(igneous rocks), Group 2 the middle portion (sedimentary rocks) and Group 3 to fill up the right side of the chart (metamorphic rocks). When
done, the team leaders will present their work to class.

Enrichment:

Homework.
*Make sure that the evaluation and other performance
Each student to research on 3 rocks (one for each rock type). Include in the discussion the following: tasks align with the learning competencies.
1. history of formation
2. common environment of formation
3. common textures
4. common use of the rock
Evaluation:
