& Time

I. Objectives
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. the three main categories of rocks, and
2. the origin and environment of formation of common minerals and
rocks
B. 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.
C. Learning After performing an activity, students should be able to:
Competencies/Objectives 1. identify and describe the three basic rock types;
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.
II. Content / Topic MINERALS AND ROCKS
III. Learning Resources Time Allotment:

B. Other Learning Resources LCD projector, Laptop, Visual aids
IV. Teaching Procedure
A. Daily Routine Greetings, Prayer, Checking of attendance, Checking the cleanliness of the
classroom
B. Introduction/Simple Review (The teacher will ask questions to the students to recall their past
or Recall lesson)
Questions:
1. What is the definition of a mineral?

C. Motivation (The teacher will show a picture of the different rock types and let
the students guess it.)

Questions:
1. What is rock?
2. How can we classify rocks? Would it be by color, hardness,
texture, density, or other physical properties? Is it by chemical
composition?
3. Enumerate and discuss the three rock types.

D. Development of the Lesson The teacher presents the new lesson & introduces the learning
objectives.
Teaching Strategies (Guided Discovery Approach, Constructivism and Cooperative learning)
a. ACTIVITY ACTIVITY 1:’’ ROCK IT BABY’’
Strategy: Classifying
Learning Goals: The students should be able to identify and describe the three
basic rock types;
Directions:
Classify the following pictures of rocks below according to their
structure and formation. Write whether it is Igneous, Sedimentary or
Metamorphic rock on the box provided.

b. ANALYSIS
(The teacher will ask question to the students for better
understanding of the lesson)
Questions:
1. How can we classify rocks? Would it be by color, hardness, texture,
density or other physical properties? Is it by chemical composition?
2. Heat is a major agent in metamorphism and igneous rock formation, but
not in sedimentary rocks. Why?

c. ABSTRACTION (The teacher will ask questions to the students for them to summarize
what they have learned from the lesson)
Questions:
1. Does every rock go through the complete rock cycle, i.e. changing from
igneous to sedimentary rock to metamorphic then back to igneous rocks?
Explain.

Directions:
d. APPLICATION/ In a ½ crosswise draw the diagram of rock cycle and the processes involved on it.
