II. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

1. Prayer
Somebody please lead the prayer.

2. Greeting
Good Morning Class. Good Morning, Ma’am!

Very good. I am glad that everyone is
present.

4. Checking of the assignment None, Ma’am

Did I give you an assignment?

5. Review About Kinds of Rocks

What is our lesson yesterday? Igneous Rocks
What are these? Sedimentary Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks

6. Drill
Let’s play Deal or No deal. Deal if the
statement is correct and No deal if the
statement is wrong.
1. Granite is an Igneous Rock. Deal
2. Sandstone is a Sedimentary Rock. Deal
3. Limestone is a Sedimentary Rock. No Deal
4. Marble is a Metamorphic Rock. Deal
5. Pumice is a Metamorphic Rock. No Deal
B. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation
Show them a rock. Ask the pupils to identify
what kind of rocks is it.

Limestone – Sedimentary Rock

Coal – Sedimentary Rock

Granite – Igneous Rock

Marble – Metamorphic Rock

Pumice – Igneous Rock

Slate – Metamorphic Rock

2. Presentation
Present an illustration of a rock cycle.
3. Discussion
Rock Cycle is the framework upon which
geologist understand how rocks slowly
change from one type to another.

What is Rock Cycle? Cycle of Rocks

What are the classifications of Rocks?
Give me ways to transform one of the
samples to another.
Very Good!
The cycle begins when the magma?
Very Good! Next? What will happen?
What process is that?
What will happen next?
Very Good! Then the sedimentary rock will
slowly get covered with other rocks and end
up deep in the Earth’s crust.
When the pressure and heat
Igneous Rocks, Sedimentary Rocks and
Metamorphic Rocks
Breaking rocks into smaller pieces which is
called weathering.
Magma will be sent to the earth’s surface by a
volcano. It cools and forms an igneous rock.
The weather or a river and the other events
will slowly break up the rock into small pieces
of sediments.
Weathering.
As sediments builds up and hardens over
years, a sedimentary rock is formed.
