3. Learning Resources  Activity sheet
 Power point presentation
 Video clips presentation
 Laptop, projector
4. Procedures
4.1 Introductory Activity (5 minutes).  Prayer, roll call, giving of instruction.

 Brainstorming in a sort of a game, this will be done

by group. Each group will be asked to identify the
common rock-forming minerals after flashing the
pictures, the group who get more correct answer
will be the winner.
4.2 Activity (5 minutes). STRATEGY: Collaborative Learning & Classification
 Teacher will divide the class into 4 groups, and let
the students watch the video clips presentation.
Each group will be asked to identify the different
common rock-forming mineral properties
described in the video.
 After the given time, every group will
discussed/share their outputs in the class.

4.3 Analysis (10 minutes).  Teacher will ask relevant questions

 Sample Questions
 How did you find the activity?
 What relevant information, you learned
from the sharing?

Note: teacher can also solicit from learners’ issues

concepts that are confusing to them

4.4 Abstraction (25 minutes) The teacher will discuss the following:

➢ Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.

These minerals that are common and abundant on Earth’s

crust are known as rockforming minerals.

➢ There are five important characteristics which define a

mineral:

❖ Naturally-occurring (NOT man-made or machine

generated)
❖ Inorganic (not a byproduct of living things)

❖ Solid (should exhibit stability at room temperature)

❖ Crystalline structure (looks like crystals since the

arrangement of their atoms is ordered and repetitive)

MINERAL POPERTIES

Minerals can be identified based on physical and chemical

properties.

A. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: We are going to use halite (table

salt) to demonstrate the different mineral properties.

1. Luster

❖ it is the quality and intensity of reflected light exhibited

by the mineral. a. metallic – generally opaque and exhibit a
resplendent shine similar to a polished metal. b. non-

metallic – vitreous (glassy), adamantine (brilliant/diamond-

like), resinous, silky, pearly, dull (earthy), greasy, among
others.

2. Hardness

❖ it is a measure of the resistance of a mineral (not

specifically surface) to abrasion.

a. German geologist/mineralogist Friedrich Mohs designed

the “Mohs Scale of Hardness”.

b. The “Mohs Scale of Hardness” measures the scratch

resistance of various minerals from a scale of 1 to 10,
based on the ability of a harder material/mineral to scratch
a softer tone.

c. Advantages of Mohs scale: i. The test is easy. ii. The test

can be done anywhere, anytime, as long as there is
sufficient light to see scratches. iii. The test is convenient
for field geologists with scratch kits who want to make a
rough identification of minerals outside the lab.

d. Disadvantages of Mohs scale: i. The scale is qualitative,

not quantitative. ii. The test cannot be used to accurately
test the hardness of industrial materials.

3. Crystal Form/Habit

❖ The external shape of a crystal or groups of crystals is

displayed/observed as these crystals grow in open spaces.
❖ The form reflects the supposedly internal structure (of
atoms and ions) of the crystal (mineral)

❖ It is the natural shape of the mineral before the

development of any cleavage or fracture.

❖ Examples include: prismatic, tabular, bladed, platy,

reniform, and equant.

❖ A mineral that do not have a crystal structure is

described as amorphous.

4. Color and Streak

❖ A lot of minerals can exhibit same or similar colors.

Individual minerals can also display a variety of colors
resulting from impurities and also from some geologic
processes like weathering.

❖ Examples of coloring: quartz can be pink (rose quartz),

purple (amethyst), orange (citrine), white (colorless quartz)
etc.

5. Cleavage

❖ The property of some minerals to break along specific

planes of weakness to form smooth, flat surfaces.

a. These planes exist because the bonding of atoms making

up the mineral happens to be weak in those areas.

b. When minerals break evenly in more than one direction,

cleavage is described by the number of cleavage directions,
the angle(s) at which they meet, and the quality of
cleavage (e.g. cleavage in 2 directions at 90o). 13

c. Cleavage is different from habit; the two are distinct,

unrelated properties. Although both are dictated by crystal
structure, crystal habit forms as the mineral is growing,
relying on how the individual atoms in the crystal come
together. Cleavage, meanwhile, is the weak plane that
developed after the crystal is formed.

6. Specific Gravity

❖ The ratio of density of the mineral and the density of

water.

❖ This parameter indicates how many times more the

mineral weighs compared to an equal amount of water
(SG1).

❖ For example, a bucket of silver (SG 10) would weigh ten

times more than a bucket of water.

7. Others

❖ Magnetism

❖ Odor

❖ Taste

❖ Tenacity

❖ Reaction to acid

For example, magnetite is strongly magnetic; sulfur has

distinctive smell; halite is salty; calcite fizzes with acid as
with as with dolomite but in powdered form.

B. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

1. Silicates

❖ Minerals containing the two most abundant elements in

the Earth’s crust, namely, silicon and oxygen.

❖ When linked together, these two elements form the

silicon oxygen tetrahedron – the fundamental building
block of silicate minerals.

❖ Over 90% of rock-forming minerals belong to this group.

2. Oxides

❖ Minerals composed of oxygen anion (O2 -) combined

with one or more metal ions.

3. Sulfates

❖ Minerals containing sulfur and oxygen in the form of the

(SO4) - anion.

4. Sulfides

❖ Minerals containing sulfur and a metal; some sulfides

are sources of economically important metals such as
copper, lead, and zinc.

5. Carbonates

❖ Minerals containing the carbonate (CO3)2 - anion

combined with other elements.

6. Native elements

❖ Minerals that formed as individual elements.

a. metals and intermetals – minerals with high thermal

and electrical conductivity, typically with metallic luster,
low hardness (gold, lead)

b. semi-metals – minerals that are more fragile than metals

and have lower conductivity (arsenic, bismuth).

c. nonmetals – nonconductive (sulfur, diamond)

7. Halides

❖ Minerals containing halogen elements combined with

one or more metals.
