What This Module is About
Welcome Learners !
This is a very timely approach to provide a new learning modality for the new
normal. As we face the pandemic, may we accept the challenge and embrace the
reality of exploring science and technology to learn more. This is an opportunity to
read, learn and develop skills for you to be ready and become competent in facing
the new world .
This module introduces the learners to understand the rock cycle, the rock
metamorphism and the different types of stress. There are activities needed to
perform to enhance learning. There are interactions to develop your skills in the real
scenarios happening in the world. Under the most essential learning
competences ,we need to describe the changes in mineral components and texture
of rocks due to changes in pressure and temperature. This is a process called
metamorphism. Another competency that we need to tackle is to describe how rocks
behave under different types of stress such as compression, pulling apart and
shearing.
Let us read and scan the next few pages of this module to fully understand
and explore the activities. The world of scientific research needs brilliant ideas to
develop innovative, creative and competent scientists to discover more beyond what
we learn now. As a youth, you can start by studying the scientific concepts on rock
metamorphism and the different types of stress.
This module discusses varied activities that can help you, a Senior High
School student, explore more in the field of science and technology and become
competent, productive, creative and innovative individual.

A. True B. False
About 4.6 billion years ago, our planet Earth was formed. It is a round ball of
rock. Earth is the only planet with living creatures. The Earth has 4 layers: inner
core, outer core, mantle and crust. The inner core is at the center of the Earth
which is made of iron. It is very hot and keeps the outer core as liquid. Mantle is
made up of thick rock and the crust is a thin surface that consists of the lightest rock.
Rock is a solid mass , mostly a mixture of minerals .The lightest rocks form the
continents. Rocks are natural resources that help us in many ways. It can help us in
making pencils, jewelry, tables and many more. Can you enumerate rocks uses? We
can build houses made of rock, right? How about walls and fire place with rocks?
How will you describe rocks? Rocks are very strong, right? But they wore away over
time. Wind and water worn them down and that makes soil.
Before the lesson proper, we will first review and get oriented to the words
and terminologies commonly used related to rock metamorphism. How do we do
this ? Let us Perform Activity 1 : Find the WORD

What Is It
There are three types of rocks. These are igneous, sedimentary and
metamorphic rocks. They are named after how they are formed. Under the ground,
there is a hot molten rock. When rocks are heated and reaches its melting point, it
forms magma. Magma comes out from volcanoes and forms rock above the surface.
This magma can also cool under the surface. It makes rock under the ground. The
rocks formed from magma are called Igneous rocks. When rocks are worn, these
pieces of rocks, minerals and soil are moved by wind and water. It can be carried to
any other places. And from there, it will be piled up together in places just like under
the lakes and oceans. They will be pressed together over time. The parts that made
them up are called sediments, and these are called sedimentary rocks. Other
rocks change from one time to another and is called metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic means to change. These rocks are often formed from the mountains.
The pressure and heat changes these rocks. Basalt can be changed by pressure
and heat can turn into a granulite. Limestone can be changed into marble. Do you
know any object that is made up of marble ? Have you seen the statue of Liberty?
That is made of marble. Building can also be made of marble.

What Is It
From extreme heat and pressure, the original rock is changed into a
completely new rock. This new rock is called metamorphic rock. The word
Metamorphic is a Greek word which means “to change form”. What causes rock
metamorphism? There are two types of Rock Metamorphism. Contact
metamorphism is caused by an increase in heat and Regional metamorphism which
is caused by pressure. Let us discuss these two types of metamorphism one by one.
Contact Metamorphism:
Intense heat – existing rocks buried deeper and deeper under the surface of
the earth are in contact with heat provided by lava or magma. When temperature
rises , existing rock will be burned or metamorphosed by the heat of magma. Burning
makes the rocks metamorphosed into anew metamorphic rock. For example, as
heat is produced ,some sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rocks like
limestone (sedimentary rock) to marble ( a metamorphic rock) , quarts to quartzite,
shale to hornfels.
Regional Metamorphism :
It covers a much larger area. Imagine a plate boundary, a fault or crack. If its
coming together, in the middle of the plate, pressure increases. Regional
metamorphism happens when these rocks are buried deep down in the crust. This is
commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries and the formation of
mountain ranges.
Among the three types of rock, metamorphic rock is the hardest. Most of
these rocks are found in the mountainous regions. Metamorphic rocks are categorize
in two – Foliates and non-foliates. Foliate is a Latin word meaning sheets. It is
composed of large amounts of micas and chlorites. These are minerals that have a
distinct cleavage. Gneiss and schist are examples of foliated rocks that are produced
by regional metamorphism. Metamorphism happens on rocks, for example, a rock
shale if added with heat and pressure, can turn into a slate. Then this slate when
added with heat and pressure, it will become phyllite. When this phyllite is added
with more heat and pressure it will become schist, and when schist is added even
more it will become metamorphic rock gneiss. Gneiss has more bands of minerals
that is the result of intense pressure. If this gneiss will be added with more heat and
pressure, it will melt into magma and lava, then it will become an Igneous Rock.

Lesson
2
What’s In
We learned from our previous lesson that any kind of rock can change
into a new rock. This process is called metamorphism. By intense heat and
pressure, metamorphic rock is formed. Metamorphic rock can be form into
another new metamorphic rock, If there is so much pressure and heat on
rocks, what happens to it? As human being, if we find stress in our lives, we
tend to break, how about rocks? What happen if rock is under stress ?Perform
the assign activities to be able to describe how rock behaves under different
types of stress.
General Procedure :
1. Work in a group. One group is composed of three students
2. Gather all the materials needed
3. Make a model of the three types of stress- compression, tension and
shearing
4. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.
5. Place your model in a used cardboard
6. Label your output.
7. Answer the guided questions.
Part 1 Compression
2. Hold one side of the modelling clay with the other hand on the other side
and compressed.
3. Place your model in a used cardboard.
4. Label your output.
Q1. When plates compress against each other, what kind of boundary is this ?
Part 2 Tension
Q2. When plates move away from each other, what kind of boundary is this ? _
Q4. If this happens in a rock, will it break and or slip apart? Why ( support
your answer )

Summary
2. Igneous rock comes from cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Examples
of igneous rocks are granite, pumice, obsidian and basalt.
3. Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments coming from weathering and
erosion of older rocks . Some examples are sandstone, limestone, shale and
conglomerate.
4. Metamorphic rocks change over time applying intense heat and pressure. Some
examples are quartzite, marble and slate. Among all types of rocks, Metamorphic is
the hardest.
5. From extreme heat and pressure , rock is changing from original rock to
completely new rock. This is called Metamorphism. The two types of metamorphism
are contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism.
7. Rock cycle is a group of changes of rock . From sedimentary rock it can change
to metamorphic rock ; from igneous rock to metamorphic rock ; or from
metamorphic to sedimentary, or vice versa.
8. From igneous rock turns sedimentary rock. This process is called weathering,
where rocks can be broken down into pieces through contact of the earth’s
atmosphere. Weathering occurs on site ( in situ).
9. A metamorphic rock when added with melting magma, it solidifies .The process
called solidification , thus make up a igneous rock. The cycle repeats over and over
again.
10. Rocks can be stressed. Stress on rocks is a force that change the rocks’ shape
and volume. There are different types of stress. These are compression, tension and
shearing.
11. Compression is a kind of stress where rocks tend to compressed each other. It
happens in convergent boundaries .
12. Tension occurs in divergent boundaries This time the rocks move away from
each other.
