sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
‘Objective: Students will be introduced to the rock cycle, and learn to distinguish igneous,
{earning Targets: Teaching the basic properties of rocks and minerals ta help explain why Ws
Important to leara how to recognize the rocks on earth.
4. Students wil learn and explain the difference between the types of rock in ur planet.
2. Students wll describe the different textures on rocks
3. Students wll gain understanding of uiliing color to astnguish rocks
4. Student wil learn how the rack eee takes place
6. Students wl learn the terms: magma, sediment, weathering and ithifiction,
7. Stadents wll lear about the crystalization process in rocks.
8. Students wil learn each step of the ock yee
9, Students wil recognize extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.
10. students wl learn and ecogrize the age of rocks.
11. Students wil earn to distinguish the difference between color and texture
12 students wil learn how to distinguish a rock's texture
13, Stodents wl learn what the compastion ofa rock's
14, Students wil earn each type of igneous rocks and how to distinguish ther texture
15. Students wil dentfy and learacoarze grained texture, fine-grained texture, porghyitc texture,
and glassy texture.
6, Students wil lea to recognize the different types of composition of igneous rocks.
17 Students wil ecognize how special properties appt to diferent types of rocks.
18. Students wil atte the color index on rocks to determine composition,
19. Students wil eam to dlstingush each characteristic of rocks and match them withthe
appropriate rock group.
20. Students wil ear to distinguish each type of metamorphic rockin the rack cycle
22, Students wil lear the two major textures Inthe classification of sedimentary rocks castc and
ronelasti,
Televance/Rationale: The outcomes for students! understanding sto raise thelr Knowledge with
rocks and rock eee by having students learn how to identify rocks will provide a better
understanding fal the properties textures, and each rock group.
‘Students should be able to classify each rock aecordng t the methods learned including texture,
composition
Students should be able to identify the difference between sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous
00ks,
Students should beable to write in their rock identification worksheet the composition and names of
each type of rocks studied in dass.
Students need to understand the formation of each rockin the rock cycle.Formative Assessment Criteria Yor success Students willbe having on-going clase disussions a
sroups, while the teacher walks around to make sure students are actively participating in dcussion
about the recognition of mineral
‘Teacher will continue these discussions and presentations throughout the week to make sure
‘students are understanding all the material being presented to them
“Teacher wil explain thoroughly all the new terms being introduce to students, and ask several
{questions to make sure all students are folowing along
‘tives Tasks: Teacher wil begin a class discussion on the frst day to ak students what they know
about rocks and the rock cycle to get an understanding of what exactly ei students already know
about rocks
The teacher will begin a power point presentation to introduce students to the concepts and topes of
rocks and the rock cycle.
Teacher will continue with her presentation, and wil ask students to take out rack kit start feeling
the texture, colors, and composition.
‘The teacher will place students in ifferent groups where on-gong dscussions will accur ta create an
environment where students discuss ariong each other to gain different perspectives ofthe topies
they are learning. This willbe providing students an opportunity to learn from one another.
Students wil be taking a quiz tthe end ofthe week lesson that will evaluate how much knowledge
‘they gained, and what needs improvement.
Homework assigment: Students willbe assigned to review their rock identification worksheets and
complete the lab manual in their textbooks, and answer the questions at the end of the chapter.
Resources/Materia:
‘Students wil be utilizing & grade earth science textbook and lab manual
PowerPoint presentation wll be presente by the teacher on screen bya projector.
Students wil algo be using tablets and computers to lok at online video diagrams that give a further
visual ook at how rocks and mineras are recognized,
Rock Kt that wilnclude the fllowing rocks in assisting students in identifying Sedimentary, f¢neous
and metamorphic rocks.
