At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:

I. OBJECTIVES
a. Describe how rocks undergo weathering. (Self-Learning Module)

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous - The teacher will elicit their previous discussion which is all about Classifying rocks
lesson or into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
presenting the new Direction:
lesson - The teacher will call someone to give a number. If the student will give a specific
number the teacher will call someone to answers the questions based on their class
records.
. The students will pick the box :
 B. Establishing a Activity “What cause the rock to break?
purpose for the  The teacher will divide the students into 4 groups each students will be given rocks for them to
lesson observe. The teacher will give 2 minutes to observe the rocks and then they will be asking
questions?
 Show students a sample of different rock. Ask the students, "Can you
name any natural cause or process that could possibly break the rock
into smaller pieces?
Sample Questions:
1. What can you observe about the rock feature? Are there any changes?
2. What do you think why rocks disintegrate or break?
- The teacher will present the objectives to the students.
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
a. Describe how rocks undergo weathering.
C. Presenting Unlocking of Difficulties:
examples/instances  The teacher will show the following terms to the students through ppt presentation:
of the new lesson. 1. Exogenic process- geological phenomena and process that originate externally to the
Earth surface.
2. Phenomena- a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen.
3. Weathering- the breaking down or dissolving of rocks.
4. Physical weathering - changes do not produce new product.
5. Chemical weathering- changes molecular structure of rock or soil.
6. Burrowing- is a tunnel or hole that an animal dig.

Presentations of Pictures:
- The teachers will let the students to observe the pictures.

- The teacher will tell the students that those pictures that are being shown are inline with the
discussions for this lesson.

D. Discussing the new Presentation of the Topic:

concepts and - The teacher will present a pictures each group will observe the pictures. After that the teacher
practicing new skills will ask the students observations.
#1 Weathering (Exogenic process)
- Show students a picture of a tree growing through a rock. Ask students to describe what they see in the
image.
- The teacher will focus on the discussion on the actual crack formed from the plant growing. Ask
students to think of other places they have seen cracks in Earth’s surface. Examples include potholes in
the road or cracks on the sidewalk. Explain that there are many different natural processes in our
environment that change the surface of Earth. A process known as weathering causes these changes.
Mention that even humans cause weathering and erosion. For example, each time we dig soil, or just
walk along the ground, we are slowly changing Earth’s surface.
Agents of weathering and erosion
1. Wind
 2. Water
3. Ice
4. Humans or animals
5. Temperature & pressure

- In this lesson, we are going to discuss about how rocks undergo weathering but first let us
know first what is exogenic process

 Exogenic Process
- geological phenomena and process that originate externally to the Earth surface.
- include weathering, erosion and deposition and together, exogenic processes
shape the Earth’s landscape.

- You may have encountered the concept of weathering as early as your

elementary school days. We are going to recall this concept and provide
some examples of weathering in everyday action.
Weathering- is simply defined as a process that leads to breaking down of
rocks into smaller and smaller pieces.
- Refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks.
- One particular importance of this process is that it produces soil for our
plants to survive as well as release nutrients such as potassium and
phosphorus, which are found mainly from broken down rocks.

Two types weathering

1. Physical/ Mechanical weathering
2. chemical weathering.
Physical/ Mechanical Weathering - is the breakdown of rocks into pieces
without any change in its composition.The size and shape of rocks changes
because of the different factors. These factors include pressure, warm
temperature, water, and ice
Factors of Mechanical Weathering
 Examples of Mechanical Weathering:
1. Block disintegration is caused by successive heating and cooling that causes the expansion
and contraction of rocks.

2. Exfoliation is the stripping of the outer layers of rocks due to intense heating. Since rocks are
poor conductors of heat, the inner layers remain almost unaffected by heat.

2.Chemical Weathering-
- involves altering the rock’s mineral composition.
is the weakening or disintegration of rocks and the formation of new compounds or new substances
caused by chemical reactions. Chemical processes include oxidation, hydrolysis, and acid action.

E. Discussing the new  On the same group, a teacher will prepare an activity to the students it is entitled ”Weathering
concepts and in Action”.
practicing new skills  Each group will roam around inside the School Campos to observe/ look for a rock that
#2 undergo changes because of weathering.
 They will be graded based on the rubrics for them to be guided.
 F. Developing  Each group will report the activity the teacher will be the one who choose who are the
mastery reporters.
(Leads to formative  A teacher will give supplementary discussions so that the students will understand more.

G. Finding practical  The teacher will ask these questions to the students.
application of 1. How does weathering affect our lives?
concepts and skills in Ans: Over thousands to many millions of years, the weathering and erosion of rocks
daily living affects Earth's surface features (that is, its topography), soil, nutrients on the land
and in the ocean, and the composition of the atmosphere, which in turn affects global
climate and ecosystems.
2. What is the significance of weathering in our daily lives?
Ans: Weathering is a very important process because it breaks down rocks and
minerals, which helps to create soil. Soil is necessary for the growth of plants, which
provide food and oxygen for animals and humans. Weathering also creates
landforms such as mountains, valleys, canyons, and plateaus.

H. Making  The teacher will provide an illustration adl ask random students to answer the questions.
generalization and Question:
abstraction about the 1. What are the agents of Weathering?
lesson Act. GUESS ME!
 The teacher will presents pictures and the students will guess what kind/type of factors of
weathering it is and they will answer if it if chemical weathering or physical/mechanical
weathering.

 The teacher will ensure that the students will understand the topic by asking the
students if they understood or if they have any clarifications.
I. Evaluating learning  The students will instructed to get 1/4 sheet of intermediate paper for their short quiz.
. Write only the letter of your answer.
Test 1- Use the illustration below to answer the questions. Choose your answer using the illustration
and write your answer on the space provided.

A. B. C. D.

______1. These types of faults have walls that move sideways, not up or down.
______2. These faults form when the hanging walls drops down.
______3. A type of fault that has both dip-slip and strike slip fault.
______4. The hanging wall in this type of fault has move upward relative to the foot of the wall.
Test II- Essay Test
Direction: Explain briefly and concisely. For (5 pts.)
1. Explain how movements along the faults to generate earthquakes?

J. Additional activities  The students were instructed to create one model of the types of fault and they will locate the
for application or focus and the epicentre of there said model.
