called petrology. Rocks are made of minerals, like quartz, calcite, feldspars,
and micas. Most rocks are made from more than one mineral, but there are
quite a few kinds that are made from only one mineral.
Tell the pupils that they will find out the difference between igneous,
sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
3. Activity/Discussion
Problem: What is the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic
rocks.
a. Gather data about the three kinds of rocks.
b. Share ideas with the members of your group regarding the three kinds of rocks.
c. Write your inputs in the table below
IGNEOUS ROCKS
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
METAMORPHIC ROCKS
4. Generalization
Classification of Rocks
pumice
2. Sedimentary rocks formed from sediments. Sediments are particles that
have worn off other rocks. The particles are sand, silt and clay. Sand has
the largest particles while clay has the smallest. If there are lots of
pebbles mixed with the sand, it is called gravel. (pebbles, gravel, sand,
clay, bones, shell of animals) The sediments become rocks when they
are buried or compacted by pressure from the weight above it. Another
way it becomes rock is when erosion from water and weather carries the
sediments in bodies of water like oceans and seas, pressed tightly
together for even thousands of years and hardened on the oceans floor.
Some rocks include bones and shells of animals. Some remains of dead
plants and animals imprint themselves in between the rocks and
become fossils. Examples: sandstone, conglomerate, limestone,
siltstone, shale, coal
Sandstone
3. Metamorphic rocks - form when other types of rocks undergo extreme
heat, pressure and chemical processes deep in Earth's crust. These
rocks are very hard and useful. Examples: marble, slate, quartzite,
gneiss, schist
marble
5. Application
Give three examples each of the three classifications of rocks
6. Evaluation
Write A if it describes igneous rock, B if sedimentary rock and C if metamorphic
rock.
5. Application
Give five examples of rocks and their uses
6. Evaluation
Write down five uses of rocks on a sheet of paper
IV. Assignment
Study the ff.: weathering of rocks, agents of weathering and effects of weathering
EsP
2. Presentation
Rocks is not the same as when it was formed. They undergo changes. How?
3. Activity/Discussion
Problem: What causes rocks to break?
Answer the following questions
1. What is weathering of rocks?
2. What are the agents of weathering?
3. How do the following weathered rocks?
a. Water
b. wind
c. animals
d. plants
e. people
4. Generalization
Weathering refers to the changes in the physical or chemical characteristics of
rocks. They are weathered in different ways.
a. Mechanical weathering rocks break physically
b. Chemical weathering there are changes in the composition of the rocks.
Agents of weathering
A. Water
1. Running Water rocks move when pushed or pulled by running water. They
bump against each other or other materials causing them to break, to be
scratched or to change in size and appearance.
2. Freezing water when water in rocks freezes, they expand and pushes
against the rocks causing them to crack or break.
3. Rain and underground water soak into rocks and can dissolve some of their
minerals causing the rocks to have some holes.
4. Chemical reaction between oxygen, carbon dioxide with the minerals in the
rocks cause changes in their composition.
B. Wind - strong winds pick up particles of dust and sand which scratch the
surface of rocks causing them to wear away.
C. Plants
1. Roots of plants forces their way on rocks weakening the rocks and
causing them to break.
2. Some plants grow on rocks forcing them to crack and break.
D. Animals
Animals build their homes on rocks. They carve the rocks and dig holes
causing them to break.
E. People
People weathered rocks to build roads, and use them as building materials.
5. Application
Write down five activities of man that causes weathering of rocks.
6. Evaluation
Choose your answer from the words below
animals
people
plants
water
wind
1. They use machines to break down rocks.
2. They build homes in rocks causing them to break.
3. The roots grow in between rocks causing them to break.
4. They carry away soil particles in the air that scratches rocks.
5. They solidify and expand in rocks creating cracks on rocks.
IV. Assignment
Be ready for summative test no. 4. Study about rocks, kinds of rocks and weathering
of rocks.
