D. DEVELOPMENTAL
Day 1
PRE-TEST None

ACQUIRE (40 minutes)

⮚ Introduce the lesson briefly by stating that they will be
learning about CLASSIFICATIONS OF ROCKS. Relate the
motivational activity to the lesson of the day.

⮚ Teacher plays video about the classification of rocks.

Questions to be asked after watching the video:

a. What are the different classifications of Rocks based

on the video that you watched?

b. How they differ from each other?

c. How can we classify rocks?

⮚ The students will be given more examples about rocks.

Content:

⮚ Rocks- aggregates of one or more minerals.

⮚ Rocks undergo processes that transforms them from

one type to another it is called as Rock Cycle.

Three main types or classification of rocks are:

1. Igneous Rocks- rocks formed by fire

⮚ crystalline solids which form directly from the cooling of

magma.
 ⮚ This is an exothermic process (it loses heat) and
involves a phase change from the liquid to the solid
state.

Igneous rocks are given names based upon two things:

⮚ composition (what they are made of) and

⮚ texture (how big the crystals are)

Depending on where the molten magma cools, they are of the

following types:

a. Intrusive Rocks

b. Extrusive Rocks

Examples of Igneous rocks: basalt and granite

2. Sedimentary Rocks- rocks from sediments

⮚ These rocks are formed by the settling down of

sediments.

⮚ Sediments are the smaller particles / fragments that are

formed by the breaking down of rocks when they roll
down, crack and hit each other.

⮚ The sedimentary rocks may also contain fossils of

plants, animals and other micro – organisms that once
lived on them.

Examples of Sedimentary Rocks: sandstone and limestone

3. Metamorphic Rocks – transformed rocks

⮚ These are the rocks that are formed when the igneous
and sedimentary rocks change their form under the
following two circumstances:

● Great heat and

● Great pressure

Examples of Metamorphic rocks: Slate and Marble

Day 2
ACQUIRE ( 35 minutes) ● Introduce the lesson briefly by stating that they will be
learning about.

● The teacher will play a video about weathering, erosion

and decomposition.

Content:
Mineral resource is the mineral deposit consisting of useful
concentration that may or may not exceed economic cost for
obtaining the valuable minerals.

Types of mineral resources:

Metallic mineral deposits: gold, silver, copper, platinum, iron

Non-metallic resources: talc, fluorite, sulfur, sand, gravel

Mineral resources can be classified according to the mechanism

responsible for concentrating the valuable substance.

Origin of the Mineral Resources

1. Magmatic Ore Deposits

- valuable substances are concentrated within an igneous body

through magmatic processes such as crystal fractionation,
partial melting and crystal settling.

- magmatic processes can concentrate the ore minerals that

contain valuable substances after

accumulating elements that were once widely dispersed and in

low concentrations within the

magma.

Examples:

Pegmatites - During fractional crystallization water and

elements that do not enter the minerals separated from the
magma by crystallization will end up as the last residue of the
original magma. This residue is rich in silica and water along
with elements like the Rare Earth Elements (many of which are
important for making phosphors in color television picture
tubes), Lithium, Tantalum, Niobium, Boron, Beryllium, Gold,
and Uranium.

Crystal Settling. As minerals crystallize from a magma body,

heavy minerals may sink to the bottom of the magma chamber.
Such heavy minerals as chromite, olivine, and ilmenite contain
high concentrations of Chromium, Titanium, Platinum, Nickel,
and Iron. These elements thus attain higher concentrations in
the layers that form on the bottom of the magma chamber.

2. Hydrothermal Ore Deposits - Concentration by hot aqueous

(water-rich) fluids flowing through fractures and pore spaces in
rocks.

Examples:

Massive sulfide deposits - Hot fluids circulating above the

magma chambers at oceanic ridges can scavenge elements like
Sulfur, Copper, and Zinc from the rocks through which they
pass. As these hot fluids migrate back toward the seafloor, they
come in contact with cold groundwater or sea water and
suddenly precipitate these metals as sulfide minerals like
sphalerite (zinc sulfide) and chalcopyrite (Copper, Iron sulfide).

Vein deposits - Hot water circulating around igneous intrusions

scavenges metals and silica from both the intrusions and the
surrounding rock. When these fluids are injected into open
fractures, they cool rapidly and precipitate mainly quartz, but
also a variety of sulfide minerals, and sometimes gold, and
silver within the veins of quartz. Rich deposits of copper, zinc,
lead, gold, silver, tin, mercury, and molybdenum result.

Stratabound ore deposits - When hot groundwater containing

valuable metals scavenged along their flow paths enters
unconsolidated sediments on the bottom of a lake or ocean, it
may precipitate ore minerals in the pore spaces between grains
in the sediment. Such minerals may contain high concentrations
of lead, zinc, and copper, usually in sulfide minerals like galena
(lead sulfide), sphalerite (zinc sulfide), and chalcopyrite
(copper-iron sulfide). Since they are included within the
sedimentary strata they are called stratabound mineral
deposits.

3. Sedimentary Ore Deposits - substances are concentrated by

chemical precipitation from lake or sea water.

Although clastic sedimentary processes can form mineral

deposits, the term sedimentary mineral deposit is restricted to
chemical sedimentation, where minerals containing valuable
substances are precipitated directly out of water.

Examples:

Evaporite Deposits - Evaporation of lake water or sea water

results in the loss of water and thus concentrates dissolved
substances in the remaining water. When the water becomes
saturated in such dissolved substance they precipitate from the
water. Deposits of halite (table salt), gypsum (used in plaster
and wall board), borax (used in soap), and sylvite (potassium
chloride, from which potassium is extracted to use in fertilizers)
result from this process.

Iron Formations - These deposits are of iron rich chert and a

number of other iron bearing minerals that were deposited in
basins within continental crust during the Proterozoic (2 billion
years or older). They appear to be evaporite type deposits, but
if so, the composition of sea water must have been drastically
different than it is today.

4. Placer Ore Deposits - substances are concentrated by flowing

surface waters either in streams or along coastlines.

-Usually aided by flowing surface waters either in streams or

along coastlines.

- Concentration would be according to the specific gravity of

substances, wherein the heavy

minerals are mechanically concentrated by water currents and

the less-dense particles remain

suspended and are carried further downstream.

- Usually involves heavy minerals that are resistant to

transportation and weathering.

- Common deposits are gold and other heavy minerals such as

platinum, diamonds and tin;

5. Residual Ore Deposits - substances are concentrated by

chemical weathering processes.

- Common deposits are bauxites and nickeliferous laterites.

- Bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum, is derived when

aluminum-rich source rocks undergo intense chemical
weathering brought by prolonged rains in the tropics, leaching
the common elements that include silicon, sodium and calcium
through leaching.

- Nickeliferous laterites or nickel laterites are residual ore

deposits derived from the laterization of olivine-rich ultramafic
rocks such as dunite and peridotite. Like in the formation of
 bauxite, the leaching of nickel-rich ultramafic rocks dissolves
common elements, leaving the insoluble nickel, magnesium and
iron oxide mixed in the soil.
