Let me test if you really understand our lesson

last Wednesday. Let us play a simple game. I
want you to form a circle.
I have here a small ball, I will play a music and
when the music stop the last person who hold
the ball will answer the questions that I am The student will form a circle as the teacher
going to read. said.

Are you ready? Yes teacher!

The student will perform the activity.

What does rock means?
Rocks are combination of one or
more minerals that are naturally
formed and found on the surface or
beneath the surface of earth.

What are the classifications of rocks according

to their characteristics?
Color, Luster, Streaks, Cleavage and
Hardness.
 Yes!
Do rocks help us?
How? It can help us in building houses and etc.
Very good! I am glad that you still remember Various answers from students.

C. Engage
1. Motivation
I will show you a picture and I want you to
analyze it.

What do you see in the picture A girl taking a bath.

Do you do it also? Yes!

What is the material do you think the girl is It seems like she is using a rock.

Do you always do that? Sometimes!

Do you have any idea what kind of rock does No!

she use?

Let us proceed to our lesson so that you may

be able to find out and identify the different
kinds of rocks.

Are you ready? Yes ma’am!

D. Exploration
1. Presentation
I will show you another picture. Let me know if
you are familiar with this.
 What are these places?
Do you think there are rock on this
places? Yes!

Where else can you find rocks?

Everywhere!
Who created rocks?
God!
Do we need to give importance of it?
Yes!
As a grade 5 students what will you do to
take care our surroundings? (Various answer from students.)

Always remember that we need to preserve all

those creations of god because god created
them not just for a display but it may help us in
our daily living.
 Now let us proceed to our next activity. I
will group you into 3 and each group will The student will perform the activity.
receive tray that contains a masking tape
and manila paper with a chart. Each group
will 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. After that everyone will go
back to the classroom.
The next step you will 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.
Describe the color and texture of each
rock in your group’s rock collection.
Record all observations on Table 1. 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.

(Group 4 will present their outcome)
What is the value of having guide for
classifying rocks?

What kind of rocks is in Group A? ________

What kind of rocks is in Group B? ________
What kind of rocks is in Group C? ________ It would be very easy for us to categorize
what kind of rock we saw according to their
How can you describe igneous rocks? characteristics.

How about sedimentary rocks?

Igneous rocks are formed from the
cooling of volcanic materials such as
magma or lava.

Can you give me an example of sedimentary Sedimentary rocks are formed from
rocks? sediments or fragments of rocks, minerals,
and plant and animal materials.

F. Elaborate
a. Generalization (Various answers from students.)
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.

Did you enjoy our group activities?

b. Application
Now we are going to have an activity again,
Yes Teacher!
you will be grouped into 3.

Each group will receive an envelope that

contains the directions of what you are going
to do.

Group 1
The Musician!
Compose a song or jingle about the kinds of
rocks.

Group 2
The Artist!
Sketch or draw the kinds of rocks.

Very good! You really understand our lesson. Group 3

The Poets!
G. Evaluation Create a 3 stanza about the kinds of rocks.
Direction: Write the word ROCKS if the statement
is correct and MINERALS if it is incorrect.
___________ 1. Sedimentary rocks are formed
from the cooling of volcanic materials.
___________ 2. The rock cycle is the continuous
process of transforming rocks from one type to
another.
___________ 3. There are three types of rocks –
igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
___________ 4. A mineral occurs naturally and has
an exact chemical composition or structure.
___________ 5. Metamorphic rocks are formed
due to changes in temperature, pressure and
chemical composition that happen to either
igneous or sedimentary rocks.

IV. Extend
Directions: Look for the given words in the puzzle.
 Encircle each word that you will find.
