IV. TEACHING PROCEDURE/ STRATEGIES:  

A. Development of the Lesson

Concept Note 4: 

ROCKS 

Petrology – study of rocks  

Characteristics of a rock
 Color 
 Texture
 Appearances
 Hardness
 Brittleness

Types of Rocks 
1. Igneous 
 Formed by the cooling and crystallization of hot, molten rock material called magma. 
 Igneous means “formed by fire”
 It makes up 95% of the crust. 
A. Types of Igneous Rocks
a. Intrusive – solidified magma
b. Extrusive – solidified lava 

2. Sedimentary Rocks 
 Derived from the word sedimentation means “settling”
 Accumulation of materials 
 Formed due to compaction and lithification

Types of Sedimentary Rocks

a. Clastic - Rocks that formed from sediment fragments of rocks
b. Chemical - Rocks formed when dissolved minerals drop out of solution
c. Organic - Rocks that are formed from the remains of once living organisms
3. Metamorphic Rocks
 Formed under conditions of heat and pressure 
 rocks that form from the transformation of pre-existing rocks 

A. Types of Metamorphic Rocks

a. Foliated – with band 
b. Non- foliated – without band 

ROCK CYCLE 

B. Analysis
Directions: Answer the question in 3-5 sentences.

___________6. The tendency of minerals to break along planes of weak bonding
___________7. The only mineral that can scratch a diamond 
___________8. The building blocks of rocks 
___________9. These are rocks that have undergone solidification from a molten
condition. 
___________10. The study of minerals
