as durability, texture, shape, color and
permeability.
2. Classify rocks into groups based on their
appearance, including their color, grain size
and texture.
3. Classify rocks into groups based on their
different physical properties, including their
hardness and permeability.
4. Identify suitable uses of rocks based on their
properties.

Activity 2: Rock Sorting


 Have students work together to sort
the rocks they collected into groups
based on their properties.

 Encourage students to discuss and


compare their findings with their
peers.

 As a group, discuss the different


properties of rocks and their
importance.

Conclusion

1. Gather students in a circle and


review what they learned about the
different properties of rocks.

2. Ask students to share one thing


they learned about rocks and their
properties.

3. Emphasize that everyone can learn


from observing and comparing
objects in the environment.

Reflection:

Overall, this lesson plan incorporates the social constructivist approach (Vygotsky) by promoting
collaborative learning and social interaction through group work, while also engaging students in
an outdoor activity that encourages exploration and observation.
