IV. PROCEDURE
MOTIVATION/ACROSS CURRICULUM MAY APPEAR ANY PART OF THE LESSON
1. What is the earth made up of?
A. Preparatory 2. What do you call the breaking of rocks into fragments?
Activity 3. What is formed when rocks weather?
4. Why is soil important?

1. Let pupils answer the cause and effect relationship activity on the
B. Presentation importance of weathering of rocks. (English, EPP, Health Integration)
2. Ask pupils about some of their favorite activities at home or at school.
(Children’s right to play and the right to education Integration).

C. Performing the 3. Activity 1: Forces of Nature (Teacher demonstrate to class)

Activities - Show students the rocks. Then wrap the rocks in a sturdy piece of cloth.
 Wearing safety glasses, hit the rocks with a hammer. Ask the students
what they think they will see when the rocks are unwrapped. Unwrap the
cloth and show the students how the rocks look.

Activity 2: Roots, Heaving & Uplifting

Materials – Large balloon, small stack of lightweight books
1) Place a large flattened balloon between two light weight books.
2) Blow the balloon up while it is between the books. See image.
3) As you inflate the balloon, observe what happens to the books.

Activity III: Wind Erosion

1) Over a white sheet of paper, briskly rub the surface of a soft rock with
a piece of medium grade sandpaper.
2) Observe how much of the rock rubs off onto the paper.

1. Presentation:
a. What are types of rock weathering?
b. What are some forces that break down rocks

Activity 1 : Forces of Nature (Teacher demonstrate to class)

Materials – Several small rocks, cloth, hammer, safety glasses

Wearing safety glasses, hit the rocks with a hammer. Ask the students
what they think they will see when the rocks are unwrapped. Unwrap the
cloth and show the students how the rocks look.

D. Processing 1. Have students guess what forces in nature, if any, could cause
the Activities this much change in a short time.
(Answer: Earthquakes, severe freezing, hurricanes, or other
violent forces can break up rocks.)
-Where can we find example of this natural phenomenon?
-Show example of this phenomenon in the local setting.
2. What happens when the balloon expands? Explain this natural
phenomenon.
3. What is the influence of sandy winds on rocks?
4. How does wind erosion affect farmlands?
E. Generalization How do rocks break in Physical and Chemical weathering?

1. ASSESSMENT:

3. Which is not an agent of weathering of rocks?
a.Reforestation b. mining c. quarrying d. recycling
4. When acid rain comes in contact with a granite rock, crystals react with acid , making it
more likely to break.
a.Physical Weathering b. Chemecal Weathering c. Chemical Weathering d.
Weathering
V. ASSIGNMENT:
Cut out /print a picture of soil erosion from magazines, newspaper, or from an online source. Paste
on a short bond paper and describe the phenomenon in 5 sentences.
