Teacher’s Activities Learner’s Activities
A. ENGAGE
1. Drill
Good morning, class! Good morning, ma’am!

To start with, let us all stand for our prayer. In the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Are you all present today? Yes ma’am

Great!

Because you are all present today let’s give yourself a yes
complete clap!

So, before we formally start our discussion, let’s first have an

activity and it is entitled” 2 pics one word”

I will post 2 pictures on the board and you will combine those
picture that serve as your clue and guess what was the picture
is pertaining to. Raise your right hand if you know the answer.

The one who will get the correct answer will receive a prize
later.

Are you ready class? Yes ma’am

Ok, let’s begin (The students will begin to guess

the given pictures)

Igneous

Metamorphic

Sedimentary
Very good class!!

So, for today's class, let’s find out more about the three types
of rocks and their characteristics
B. EXPLORE

Okay, class, before we proceed to our discussion. Let’s first

have an activity.

So now class, I have prepared some clips here for you to watch.
I want you to watch it carefully and observe, because later I will
ask you some questions related to the clips you’ll watch.

Is it clear class?

What did you observe in the video?

(students answered)
Very good!

So, are you ready to listen and learn more about rocks class?
Yes ma’am
Wow that’s good to hear from you.

Now, sit back and relax as we explore and learn more about the
types of rocks. Let’s start our discussion.
C. EXPLAIN
Rock
A rock is a naturally formed, non-living earth material. Rocks are
made of collections of mineral grains that are held together in a
firm, solid mass. The different color and textures seen in rocks
are caused by the presence of different minerals.

Three main categories/types of rocks

Igneous rock
Sedimentary rock
Metamorphic rock

Igneous rock
These rocks are formed when magma cools and crystallizes or
solidifies. It can be formed above or below Earth’s surface area.

These rocks are formed from molten material as it becomes a

solid. This can happen it two (2) different ways:

Intrusive igneous rocks form when molten material pushes

itself into spaces and crystalizes slowly below the Earth’s
surface. Since they cool slowly it allows for the formation of
large crystals.

Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, pegmatite,

gabbro and diorite.

Extrusive igneous rocks form when molten material erupts

onto the Earth’s surface and cools quickly. Because it cools
quickly the crystals formed are small and some cool so fast that
they don’t really have any crystals, they’ll look like glass. For
example, rocks from a volcanic eruption are extruded from the
earth.

Examples of extrusive igneous rocks are basalt, pumice,

obsidian, rhyolite.

How igneous rocks are formed?

Igneous rocks form when magma cools at the surface of a
volcano or while still inside Earth’s crust. As the magma cools,
different crystals form at various temperatures undergoing a
process called crystallization.

Characteristics of igneous rock

 Most igneous forms include more than one mineral
deposit
 They can be either glassy or coarse
 These usually do not react with acids
 Has large crystal sizes visible to the naked eye
 It can be light (white, pink, tan, light brown, light gray)
or dark (black, very dark brown, very dark gray, dark
green mixed with black) in color.
 The igneous form of rocks does not include any fossil
deposits
Sedimentary rock is formed by the accumulation and
compression of sediments over a long period of time. The
sediments can include small pieces of minerals, small pieces of
plants and other organic materials. These sediments move
towards bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans and will
accumulate at the bottom. Over long periods of time the
bottom layers will turn into rocks.

Examples of sedimentary rocks are sandstone, limestone,

kaolinite (chalk), flint.

How sedimentary rocks are formed?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from deposits of pre-existing
rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the
Earth’s surface. If sediment is buried deeply, it becomes
compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

Characteristics of sedimentary rock

 Sedimentary rocks contain fossils.
 Sedimentary rocks typically occur in layers.
 Sedimentary rocks are typically consisting of small
pieces of minerals, small pieces of plants and other
organic materials.
 Clasts are rounded and sorted because they have been
moved by water.
 Sedimentary rocks have ripple marks and mud cracks.

Metamorphic rocks are formed when there is a change in the

heat or pressure of their environment. Any rock, including
igneous and sedimentary rocks, can become metamorphic
rocks when the temperature or pressure changes.

How metamorphic rocks are formed?

Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure changing the
original or parent rock into a completely new rock.

Metamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock, but

have been substantially changed from their original igneous,
sedimentary, or earlier metamorphic form.

Characteristics of metamorphic rock

 Metamorphic rocks can also contain minerals, crystal
structures, and some traces of fossils if pressure is not
applied too hard.
 Has ductile deformation
  They are crystalline and often have a “squashed”
(foliated or banded) texture.
 They react with acids.
 Metamorphic rocks often break easily along foliation
planes.

To test if you really understand the first part of our lesson, I
have here a few questions you need to answer before we
proceed to your activities.

D. ELABORATE
Okay, class, do you have any questions about our topic? None ma’am

Since you don’t have any questions, I have here a prepared

activity for you to answer.

All you need to do is identify whether the characteristics listed

below are the characteristic of igneous, sedimentary or
metamorphic rock.

Activity 1. Identify me!

Directions: Identify whether the characteristics listed the

characteristic of igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock.
Write IR if the characteristics belong to igneous rock, write SR if
the characteristics belong to sedimentary rock and write MR if
the characteristics belong to the metamorphic rock.

That’s just a warm-up activity, student. Now, to test if you really

understand our lesson, let’s have another activity.

In this activity, I will group you into 3. Please count from 1 to 3

to determine your group.

Now please proceed quietly to your respective group.

Please assign your leaders per group.

So, where’s the chosen leader?

Please come in front and pick up one envelope. Inside these

envelopes, there is a certain activity for you to do.

ENVELOP 1
Describe the process of how igneous rocks are formed.

ENVELOP 2
Describe the process of how sedimentary rocks are formed.

ENVELOP 3

Activity 3: What’s my value?

On your own understanding define rock and explain its
importance to our lives.
E. EVALUATE
So, do you understand our topic class? Yes ma’am

Do you have any questions about our topic? None ma’am

Okay, since you don’t have any questions, I assume that you
really do understand our topic for today and that you’re already
ready to take your quiz.

Now, on one whole sheet of paper, answer the following

questions that I will be giving you: I will give you 5 minutes to
finish your task.

1. It is a naturally formed, non-living earth material and are

made of collections of mineral grains that are held together in a
firm, solid mass.
2. What do you call the type of rock that is formed when
magma cools and crystallizes or solidifies?
3. What are the two broad types of igneous rocks?
