 Game: Relay
Tell something about the characteristic of rocks
The teacher will prepare a strip of paper with a
message characteristics of rocks” the first pupil
will be the one to tell the message and pass it to
his/her members then the last pupil will be the
one to construct the message on the board.
What do you think is the
mother doing?

Do you do it also?

What material do you

think the mother is using
while taking a bath?
Approach: Inquiry - Based
Strategy: Knowledge – Building
Suggested Activity: EIBU (Experience, Inform, Build
Knowledge,
Understand)
Group Activity: “Group Me”
I. Problem: What types of rocks are in our rock collection?
II. Materials: Activity sheet, chart, rocks, magnifying lens,
masking tape,
markers, goggles, rock hammer, small towel
III. Procedure:
1. Go outside the classroom and collect at least four rocks. Label each rock by
assigning a number. Write this number on the masking tape, and include the
date and the location where you found the rock before placing them in your
collecting tray. This will serves your rock collection. Go back to the classroom.
2. Wrap one rock in a small towel. Assign a group member to strike the rock
with a hammer to break the rock into at least two parts. Do this for all the
rocks collected by your group.
3. Describe the color and texture of each rock in your group’s rock collection.
Record all observations on Table 1.
4. Using magnifying lens, observe each rock along its fracture (where the rock
broke into at least two parts) for grains, crystals, and for layers along the
fracture. Record all observations on Table 1.

Answer these questions:
1. What are the different kinds of rocks?
2. Cite the examples that you know on the kinds
of rocks.
3. What have you noticed with igneous rock?
Sedimentary? metamorphic
rocks?
4. How are you going to differentiate the three?  
Minerals are substances that occur naturally and
have an exact chemical composition or structure.

Igneous rocks are formed from the

cooling of volcanic materials such as
magma or lava.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments or
fragments of rocks, minerals, and plant and animal
materials.

Metamorphic rocks are formed due to changes

in temperature, pressure, and chemical
composition that happen to either igneous or
sedimentary rocks.
Crystallization is the process by which a
substance assumes the form and structure of a
crystal, or becomes crystallized, as it solidifies.
There are also minerals that can be formed
through evaporation of seawater. As the water
slowly evaporates, it leaves mineral deposits in
the form of crystals.
Classify the following rocks. Write I on the
blank for igneous, S for sedimentary, and M for
metamorphic rocks.
1. Basalt _________
2. Limestone __________
3. Granite ____________
4. Marble ____________
