Teachers’ Activity Students’ Activity
PRELIMINARIES Good afternoon, class. Good afternoon, Ma’am.
Before you take your seats, pick up
the pieces of dirt under your chairs
and arrange it properly.

Class monitor, kindly take note of (The class monitor submits the list
the absentees for today. of the absentees.)

How are you today? Ma’am, we are better than

yesterday.
That’s nice to hear.
Before we start with our lesson,
let’s go over our classroom rules.
Listen attentively especially when
someone is talking, avoid roaming
around, and most importantly
respect each other.
Is that clear? Yes, Ma’am!
ELICIT Are you ready to learn? Yes, Ma’am

Where do we see rocks? I see rocks in rivers, mountains,

and roads.

What do you know about rocks?

Can you describe some of their
characteristics?
Ma’am!

Some rocks are smooth, others

are rough.

There are big and small rocks with

different colors.

Very good, now I have here 3

images and I want you to identify
what do these images have in
common. Yes, Ma’am.
 (Students’ responses may be
varied.)

They are all made of rock!

I think they are all from nature.

Maybe they are made from the
same type of material?

They look different, but maybe

they were formed in a similar way?

The Pyramid of Giza is made of

limestone, and I think chalk is also

right—these objects have
something in common. They are Marble is used for statues, but is
all made of rock! But not just any it related to limestone?
rock; they are made of a specific
type of rocks, it may be igneous,
sedimentary and metamorphic.

ENGAGE Today, we’re going to explore

different types of rocks and their
characteristics.

Everybody read the learning

objectives that we need to attain at
the of end of our lesson.
At the end of the lesson,the
learners should be able to:

1.Classify igneous, sedimentary,

and metamorphic based on their
characteristics
2.Identify rocks based on their
 types
3.Demonstrate an appreciantion
on natural world and the
importance of rocks to our daily
lives

Now, I have here a MYSTERY

ROCK BOX.

I want you to feel it without looking

at it, observe its texture and
characterictics .
After that you are going to share
your observation to the class.

Box 1

Box 2

Box 3

Let’s start!
Learner 1: This rock in the first
box feels rough and grainy. It has
a sandy texture.
Learner 2: I think this one is
smoother than the first. It feels like
it has been pressed together
tightly.
Learner 3: The last one feels solid
and maybe a little shiny. It’s much
harder than the others.
Learner 4: I can feel tiny layers on
this rock. It seems different from
the rest.

Learner 5: The first one might be

sedimentary because it feels like
sand stuck together.
Learner 6: The second one could
be metamorphic. It’s smooth but
 firm, maybe because of heat and
pressure.
Learner 7: The last one is
probably igneous because it’s
hard and compact, like it formed
Great observations, everyone! You from melted rock.
were able to notice key differences
just by feeling the rocks. The rough
and grainy one is likely
sedimentary, formed from
compacted sediments over time.
The smooth and compact one is
metamorphic, changed by heat and
pressure. The hard and solid one is
igneous, formed from cooled lava
or magma. This activity shows us
that rocks have different
characteristics because of how
they are formed.
EXPLORE Let’s dig deeper with our lesson
with an activity.

Since it is a group activity, you will

be working collaboratively with your
classmates.
Yes, Ma’am.
The mechanics of the activity is as
follows;
 You will be group into 3.
 Each group will received 3
pictures.
 Identify what type of rock,
and its characteristics.
 Accomplish the activity
sheet especially the guide
questions.
 Brainstorm with your
classmates.
 Report your findings to the
class.

Is my instruction clear? Yes, Ma’am.

You may now start.

(3 minutes will be given to each

group to accomplish the activity.)
 (Guide Questions will be given
to each group as an activity
sheet.)

EXPLAIN Are you ready to present your (Learners will share their analysis
output? and interpretation of the images.)

Yes, Ma’am!

Let’s start with group 1.

In our activity, we observed and

classified three rock samples:
granite, limestone, and marble.
Granite is an igneous rock
because it has visible crystals and
was formed from cooled magma.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock
because it has layers and comes
from compacted sediments.
Marble is a metamorphic rock
because it was formed from
limestone under heat and
pressure.

For the guide questions,

1. What was the easiest way

to identify sedimentary
rocks?

Sedimentary rocks often have

layers and may contain fossils,
 making them easy to recognize.

2. How did you differentiate

igneous and metamorphic
rocks?

Igneous rocks have visible crystals

or a glassy appearance, while
metamorphic rocks have a more
compact texture and may have
wavy layers.

3. Why do you think rocks

have different textures and
structures?”

It depends on how they are

formed. Heat, pressure, and
cooling rates all affect a rock’s
texture and structure.

Good job, group 1!

Rocks have different textures and
structures because of how they are
formed. Heat, pressure, and
cooling all play a role in shaping
them.

Now, let’s here from group 2 .

In our activity, we observed and

classified three rock samples:
basalt, sandstone, and slate.
Basalt is an igneous rock because
it forms from cooled lava and has
a dark, fine-grained texture.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock
because it is made from
compacted sand particles and has
visible layers. Slate is a
metamorphic rock that started as
shale and changed due to heat
and pressure, making it smooth
and layered.
 For the guide questions,

1.What was the easiest way to

identify sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks feel grainy and
often have visible layers, making
them easier to recognize.

2. How did you differentiate

igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Igneous rocks form from cooled
magma and usually have a rough
or glassy texture, while
metamorphic rocks look more
compact and may have wavy
patterns.

3.Why do you think rocks have

different textures and structures?
Their textures and structures
depend on how they were formed
—whether by cooling, pressure, or
layering over time.

Excellent observation, group 2!

Let’s hear from group 3.

In our
activity, we observed three rock
samples: pumice, shale, and
schist. Pumice is an igneous rock
that is very light and full of tiny
holes because it forms from
quickly cooling lava with trapped
gas. Shale is a sedimentary rock
that is soft, breaks easily into thin
layers, and is made of compacted
clay or mud. Schist is a
metamorphic rock with shiny,
wavy layers that formed from
intense heat and pressure.

For guide questions,

 1.What was the easiest way to
identify sedimentary rocks?

Sedimentary rocks are often soft,

have layers, and sometimes break
into smaller pieces easily.

2.How did you differentiate

igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Igneous rocks like pumice form
from cooled lava and may have
bubbles or crystals, while
metamorphic rocks like schist
have wavy layers and are harder
due to heat and pressure.

3.Why do you think rocks have

different textures and structures?
It depends on how they were
formed. Some cooled quickly,
some were pressed together over
time, and some changed due to
heat and pressure.

Very good, group 3.

ELABORATE
Great job on classifying the rocks!
Now, let’s go deeper into
understanding how each type
forms and what makes them
different. We’ll explore the
processes behind igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic
rocks so we can fully grasp their
unique characteristics.

Based on the activity that we

conducted earlier, how many
types of rocks do we have? Ma’am, we have 3 types of rocks.

What are those?

igneous, sedimentary and
metamorphic.

Very good!
Now that we've classified different
rocks, let's take a closer look at
each type and understand why
they are different.
Igneous rocks form when magma
or lava cools and solidifies.

Did you know that it has 2 types?

What are those? Yes, Ma’am.

Very good, igneous rocks has two intrusive and extrusive

types, the intrusive and extrusive.

Intrusive igneous rocks cool slowly

beneath the Earth's surface,
forming large crystals.

Who can give me an example of

intrusive rock?

Excellent!
Let’s talk about extrusive, Ma’am, a granite.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool

quickly on the surface, forming
small or no crystals.

Who can give me an example of

extrusive?

Very good!

Why do you think igneous rocks basalt and pumice

are strong and durable?

Because they are made from

hardened lava or magma.
Where do you think we use
igneous rocks in everyday life? They cool and solidify, making
Can you think of any buildings, them tough.
roads, or tools that might be made
from them?
 Ma’am!

Granite is used in kitchen

countertops and buildings
because it is strong.

Basalt is used in roads and railway

tracks.

Pumice is used in beauty products

for scrubbing.
Great job recognizing how igneous
rocks like granite and basalt are
used in construction and roads!
Imagine a world without these
strong rocks—how different would
our buildings and roads be?

Now, let’s talk about sedimentary

rocks.

Sedimentary rocks form from

layers of sediments compacted
over time. They often contain
fossils and have visible layers.

Who can give me an example of

sedimentary rocks?

Sedimentary rocks often contain

fossils and layers. How do you Sandstone, Shale, Limestone
think scientists and engineers use
them to study Earth's history or
create useful materials?

Fossils in sedimentary rocks help

scientists learn about ancient life.
Where do we commonly use
sedimentary rocks in our daily
lives? Can you think of any
buildings, tools, or products made
from them?

Limestone is used in making

cement for buildings and roads.

Sandstone is used in making glass

and for construction.
 Shale is used to make bricks and
even in oil extraction.
I appreciate how you connected
sedimentary rocks to cement and
fossil records. These rocks help us
understand Earth's past and build
our future.

Let’s talk about the last type of

rock.

Metamorphic rocks are formed

when existing rocks undergo heat
and pressure, changing their
structure.

Who can give me an example of

metamorphic rock?

Marble, Slate, Schist.

Very good!

Why do you think metamorphic

rocks have a more compact and
durable structure?

Because they have been pressed

and heated for a long time.

They change and become harder

under pressure.

Marble and slate are examples of

metamorphic rocks. Where have
you seen these materials being
used in construction, art, or
decoration?

Marble is used for statues and

fancy floors.

Slate is used for roof tiles and

chalkboards.

Schist is used for decorative walls

and landscaping.

Why do you think these rocks are

often chosen for artistic and
architectural designs? Because they have unique
patterns and textures, making
them look beautiful.

They are durable and can

withstand weathering, so they are
good for buildings.

Marble, for example, is easy to

carve, which is why it's used in
statues and decorations.

It’s amazing that you realized how

metamorphic rocks like marble and
slate are used in sculptures,
flooring, and roofing. Their
transformation under heat and
pressure makes them both
beautiful and durable.

Did you know that many historical

structures are made from rock?
The Pyramids of Giza are built from
limestone, and ancient Roman
roads used basalt.

Can you think of any historical sites

or buildings made of rock?

Ma’am!

The Great Wall of China has stone

parts!

Temples and churches use marble

for decoration.

Now that we’ve explored how rocks

are used in construction, art, and
even science, how do you
personally appreciate their
importance in our daily lives?

I never realized how much we

 depend on rocks! From the
buildings we live in to the roads
we walk on, they’re everywhere.

Even small things like chalk and

glass come from rocks. It’s
amazing how nature provides us
with so many useful materials.

And I was surprised to learn that

rocks also tell us about Earth’s
history. Fossils in sedimentary
rocks help scientists study ancient
life!

Rocks are not just ordinary things

we see on the ground—they have
so many purposes, and now I
appreciate them more!

It looks like you all have a solid

understanding of the different types
of rocks and their importance in our
daily lives. Now, let's see how well
you've grasped the lesson with a
