Weathering of Rocks
Background Information
Earth is mainly composed of rocks that vary in sizes, shapes, and colors.
Through rocks seem to be very hard, dense, and indestructible, they still break. The
breaking of rocks into fragments is known as weathering.
Weathering is an important process that helps shape Earth’s surface. The
breaking of rocks results in the formation of soil and different landforms. This is also
the reason why we have amazing rock formations.
TYPES OF WEATHERING
Mechanical weathering occurs when rocks break down into smaller pieces due
to physical forces, such as water and temperature, without changing the mineral
compositions of the rocks. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering away of
rocks while Chemical weathering happens when rocks break down due to reaction
with water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and organic acids. This process forms new
substances from the minerals of rocks. chemical weathering involves a change in the
composition of rocks as they break down into pieces.
AGENTS OF WEATHERING
Rocks do not break down on their own. Water, abrasive agents (wind, running
water, or ice) temperature, plants, animals, and people are outside forces or agents
that cause rocks to break into pieces.
WATER
TEMPERATURE
PLANTS
Plants also become agents of weathering
when they grow on rocks. Lichens, ferns, and
mosses usually grow on rocks. As these
plants grow, they squeeze and cause rocks
to crack. Eventually, these cracks would
bigger and will cause rocks to break into
pieces.

Learning Competency:
Describe how rocks turn into soil: S5FE-Iva-1
Activity 1-Recall Me
Directions: Read the short ROCK poem, then, answer the guide questions that
follow.
I’m a weather-wise rock
Accuracy guaranteed!
If I’m wet, it’s raining.
If I’m moving, it’s windy. If I’m white, it’s snowing. If I’m icy, it’s sleeting.
If I’m bouncing, it’s hailing.
If I’m hot and dry, it’s sunny.
If you can’t see me, it’s foggy.
If I’m gone, you’ve been ripped off.
Guide Questions:
1. Who is talking in the poem?
______________________________________________________________
2. How would you describe the rock when it is raining?
____windy? ____ snowing? ____sleeting? ____hailing? ____Foggy?
3. Why do you think you have ripped out if the rock is gone?

Activity 2 – MC OR CW
Directions: Identify the change happening in each situation. Write MC for
mechanical weathering and CW for chemical weathering.
_____1. A boulder of the shore is slowly broken apart by the force of water.
_____2. Earthworms make tunnels in the ground which may lead to the
breakdown of stones and rocks.
_____3. Some plants release chemicals which that loosen the rocks and cause
them to break.
_____4. The water inside the rocks freezes and melts again.
_____5. The chemical composition of rocks changes when acid is produced by
the roots of some plants.
Activity 3 – Tell Me Well
Directions: Read each statement carefully and tell what agent of weathering is
described. Pick your answer from the word bank and write it on a sheet
of paper.
1. The sun rays heat up the rocks and rain cool them down. The exposure to
changing temperatures causes stress on the outer surfaces of the rocks and
eventually breaks the rocks into pieces. _______________
2. Water seeps in through some openings or fissures in rocks. When water
freezes, it expands and enlarges these opening. The continued expansion
eventually breaks the rocks into fragments. _______________
3. As roots of plants grow, they may enter fractures in rocks and exert pressure
on these spaces. Continued pressure eventually causes the rocks to break
apart. _______________
4. Wind, running water, or ice sometimes carries rock fragments or sand grains
that act like sandpaper whenever they strike the surfaces of rocks.
_______________
5. Animals that burrow in the ground, such as moles and rabbits, move deeply
buried rocks to the surface where they can be affected by physical and
chemical processes. Buried rock layers may also be exposed and left
vulnerable to water and acid intrusion. _______________
6. A simple kicking of rocks can cause weathering already. Some construction
workers use jackhammers to break boulders of rocks as they repair roads.
_______________
Activity 4- Choose Me
Directions: Read and answer the following questions. Write the letter of the correct
answer on a sheet of paper.
1. What refers to the process of breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces?
A. Erosion
B. Weathering
C. Landslide
D. Tsunami
Background Information
When rocks are broken down into different pieces, it does not stay in one
place. Some rock fragments become part of the soil. Others are transferred from one
place to another. The movement of rock fragments and soil from of place to another
is called erosion. The materials transported due to erosion are called sediments.
Thus, forming different landforms.
Soil is the earth’s fragile skin that anchors all life on Earth. It is comprised of
countless species that create a complex ecosystem and is among the most precious
resources to humans. Increased demand for agricultural needs generates incentives
to convert forests and grasslands to farm fields and pastures can increase soil erosion
beyond the soil’s ability to maintain itself.
Half of the topsoil on the planet has been lost in the last 150 years. In addition to
erosion, soil quality is affected by other aspects of agriculture. Some of its effects are
as follow:

underlined word/s to make the statement correct.
1. Soil is the Earth’s fragile skin that holds Earth’s surface together.
2. Usually, the subsoil is being transferred during erosion.
3. The faster the water flows, the slower the soil erosion would be.
4. Once the topsoil is gone, nutrients from the soil are gone as well.
5. Increased pollution in clogged waterways causes aquatic plants and
animals to live.
6. Too much soil erosion makes soil unable to hold or absorb water
that worsen flash floods.
7. Mine tailings are being formed as a waste product of mining.
8. Human activities such as quarrying affect the soil in a good way.
9. Because of the agricultural need of this generation, forest and
grasslands are turned into farmland and pastures.
10. One of the bad effects of soil erosion is that it forms a wondrous
natural landscape.
Activity 3: Let’s Do it

Weather Disturbances
Weather Disturbances – refer to any disruption of the atmosphere’s stable
condition. It can manifest through the formation of the low-pressure area or different
prevailing wind like monsoons and the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.
PAGASA – Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Service
Administration keeps track of cyclones that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility
(PAR)
In a CYCLONE, the cool air flows to take the place of rising warm air. As a
result, the air spins. The wind spirals around the center of the cyclone (eye). When a
cyclone formed over the tropics, it is called TROPICAL CYCLONE. Given the
Philippines is found in the tropics, we experience tropical cyclones. Cyclones intensify
when it is located over warm tropical waters and weakens when it moves over inland

Pattern in the changes in the appearance of the Moon
Background Information
The Moon is a gravity rounded astronomical body orbiting Earth and is the
planet's only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System, and by
far the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits.
The phases of the Moon are the different ways the Moon looks from Earth over
about a month.
As the Moon orbits around the Earth, the half of the Moon that faces the Sun
will be lit up. The different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from
Earth are known as phases of the Moon. Each phase repeats itself every 29.5 days.
The same half of the Moon always faces the Earth, because of tidal locking. So, the
phases will always occur over the same half of the Moon's surface.
A phase is an angle of the moon to the earth, so it appears differently every day.
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answer on the extra
sheet of paper
_______ 1. This phase occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth
from the sun.
________2. When the Moon looks like a crescent and the crescent decreases
("wanes") in size from one day to the next.
________3. This phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases.
________4. When half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous
phase.
________5. This phase is seen when the moon is between the Sun and Earth.
________6. When the Moon looks like a crescent and the crescent increases
("waxes") in size from one day to the next. This phase is usually only seen
in the west.
________7. When half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waxing crescent
phase. It comes a week after new moon.
________8. It occurs when more than half of the lit portion of the Moon can be seen
and the shape increases ("waxes") in size from one day to the next. This
phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases.
________ 9. It can only happen on a new moon.
________10. It is a gravity-rounded astronomical body orbiting Earth and is the
planet's only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar
System and by far the largest among planetary satellites relative to the
size of the planet that it orbits.

Constellation
Background Information
Constellations has two definitions:
Astronomical
A region in the sky. Traditional- a
group of stars observed from Earth
often forming shapes. The signs of the
zodiac, mythological figures, and other
shapes. They are different in the
different hemispheres.
Ancient cultures
Connected stars in patterns, named sections of the sky based on the patterns.
Sections of the sky that contain recognizable star patterns. Help navigate and keep
track of the time. Different civilizations in different names.
Star constellations are groups of stars that seem to form shapes or patterns.
The stars in the constellation may not actually be close to each other but just appear
to be. They have been used as calendars, timekeepers, and to help people find their
direction on land and in the sea. Most of the constellation names we know came from
the Ancient Middle Easter. King Cepheus determines the distance of distant galaxies
and very bright stars. Orion is called hunter and bright during winter.
The big dipper makes us part of the constellation of the Ursa Major of the Big
Bear. The little dipper is part of the constellation. Ursa Minor, the Little Bear.
Cassiopeia was the wife of King Cepheus. She was very pretty Cassiopeia has a very
distinct shape. She looks like a “W” or “M” in the sky.
