DYNAMIC LEARNING PLAN
SUBJECT EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE 11 TOPIC Origin and Structure of the Universe REFERENCE Bayo-ang,Roly B., et.al. Earth and Life Science for Senior High School (Grade11).Educational Resources Corporation Quezon City. 2016 WEEK DAY
OBJECTIVES 1. Describe how rocks undergo weathering.
2. Explain how the products of weathering are carried away by erosion and deposited elsewhere; 3. Make a report on how rocks and soil move downslope due to the direct action of gravity.
CONCEPTS EXOGENIC PROCESSES
- The Earth’s crust is altered physically. There are changes that occur suddenly but most changes take thousands of years to happen. Exogenic processes deals with the activities or phenomena that happens in the Earth’s surface. - When we say exogenic processes, it involves weathering, erosion, and mass movement.
1. WEATHERING - Is the mechanical and chemical hammer that breaks down and sculpts rocks.
TWO KINDS OF WEATHERING
- Physical Weathering -- breakdown of rocks without a change in composition.
- Chemical Weathering -- decomposition of rocks due to chemical reaction.
PROCESSES THAT CAN CAUSE PHYSICAL WEATHERING
- Thermal and Pressure Change - Wind and Waves - Freeze and Thaw - Organic Activity
PROCESSES THAT CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL WEATHERING
- Hydration - Carbonation - Oxidation
2. EROSION - Involves the movement of the weathered rocks from their site of weathering by the agents of erosion. - TRANSPORT BY WATER - Rainwater is the most important force or agent of erosion. - Gravity is the driving force and it gives water the energy to erode and carry away rock materials. - TRANSPORT BY WIND - Wind continuously blows away loose particles of rocks and soil from place to place.
3. MASS MOVEMENT - Typically known as mass wasting or slope movement defined as bulk movements of soil, sand, and rock debris in response to the force of gravity.
QUESTIONS/ACTIVITY NOTE: You have the power or freedom to choose what activity you like. It’s either the photo exhibit or the infomercial.
Activity 1 : PHOTO EXHIBIT
INSTRUCTION: Show your photography skills or good shot by taking a picture that shows weathering. Write an information or self- reflection about the photo.
SAMPLE PHOTO EXHIBIT
This photo was taken in our backyard at Taytay, Rizal. Both photo shows weathering; I can observe physical weathering as well as chemical weathering. When I was a kid, I wasn’t familiar about rocks, I just only thought about them as a rock that I can play with or throw with my playmates. But now I learned that, rocks undergo weathering wherein they were broken down into pieces. Same as humans, we need to break down, to tear apart, in order for us to become the best version of ourselves. Weathering is somewhat the process that we go through, the barriers in life that we face, the dilemmas that we encounter. But after that process, we are a much better version of ourselves, a much stronger and bolder individual.
Activity 2 : INFOMERCIAL
INSTRUCTION: Create an infomercial on the prevention of excessive erosion and
mass movement. This can be done digitally, with ICT integration or you can design it by your own. Write an information or self-reflection about your own infomercial. SAMPLE INFOMERCIAL
I designed this one because I think plant plays a major role not just in our problems with erosion but also with our problems about global warming, climate change, and other environmental issues. And as for today’s pandemic time, plantitos and plantitas rises which is a good thing. Growing up in the province, I was also used to plant trees and flowers at home. When I went here in Metro Manila, I also joined a cleaning drive program and tree planting activity in Batangas. So as the co-creator of the Earth, please plant trees, join Environmental programs, and be an active citizen that cares about our planet. Please take part, our Earth needs MORE OF YOU !
