D. Discussing New Concepts Activity 2: Unlocking of

and Practicing New Skills Difficulties
#1
Before we proceed to our discussion
this morning, let us first define the
unfamiliar words that we’re going to
meet along our discussion. Please Weathering – the process of
read aloud. breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s
surface, by the action of water, ice,
acids, salts, plants, animals, gravity
and changing temperatures.

Physical weathering – is caused

by the effects of changing
temperatures on rocks, causing the
rock to break apart.

Chemical weathering – is
caused by rainwater reacting with
the mineral grains in rocks to form
new minerals (clays) and soluble
salts.

Biological weathering of rocks

- occurs when rocks are weakened
by different biological agents like
plants and animals.

Activity 3: Let Us Know Part 1

E. Discussing New Concepts (Discussion)
and Practicing New Skills
#2 This time, let us have another group
activity entitled LET’S LEARN
TOGETHER THE WEATHERING
WAY. I will be
distributing an envelope that has a
handout about weathering, a marker
and a 3x3 paper tarpaulin inside.
Each group are given 5 minutes to
discuss within their group the
classification and the type of
weathering that has been assigned to
your group and write it on the
provided paper tarp the important
details that you have discussed
within your group. Afterwards, your
group representative will discuss to
the
class the groups’ output.

Am I clear? Yes, Ma’am!

Kindly come forward, group

leaders and get your envelopes.

G2: Chemical Weathering
G3: Biological Weathering

And your 5 minutes starts now! (Group Activity: Collaborative)

Time is up!

Rocks are naturally occurring mass

of different kinds of minerals. It can
be classified into different kinds such
as igneous, metamorphic and
sedimentary rocks. These rocks are
classified based on their composition
and the process of its formation.
Igneous are formed from volcanic
materials, sedimentary rocks are
result of the cementation of different
sediments to form a new rock and
metamorphic rocks are produced
through exposure of parent rock
which can be an igneous,
sedimentary or another metamorphic
rock to intense temperature and
pressure. This scenario proves that
rocks are made up of components
that can be broken down overtime.
Continuous exposure to external
environmental forces can separate
these components.

Weathering is the process of

breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s
surface, by the action of water, ice,
acids, salts, plants, animals, gravity
and changing
temperatures and there are three
types of weathering: physical
weathering, chemical weathering,
and biological weathering.

Let us hear the representative of the

first group to share to us their
understanding about Physical
Weathering.

Physical weathering is caused by

the effects of changing
temperatures on rocks, causing the
rock to break apart. The process is
sometimes assisted by water. It
happens especially in places where
there is little soil and few plants
grow, such as in mountain
regions and hot
deserts. It occurs either through
repeated melting and freezing of
 water (mountains and tundra) or
through expansion and contraction
of the surface layer of rocks that are
baked by the sun (hot deserts).
There are three main types of
physical weathering:

1. Abrasion. It occurs when

rocks surface is frequently exposed
to water, wind and gravity.
2. Freeze-thaw. It occurs when
water continually seeps into cracks,
freezes and expands, eventually
breaking the rock apart. It occurs in
mountainous regions like the Alps
or Snowdonia.
3. Exfoliation. It can happen as
cracks develop parallel to the land
surface as a consequence of the
reduction in pressure during uplift
and erosion. It occurs typically in
upland areas where there are
exposures of uniform coarsely
crystalline igneous rocks.

Very good, Group 1. You explain it

very well. Let us give 10 claps to
our first group.

Chemical weathering is caused by

Let us give the floor to the rainwater reacting with the mineral
representative of Group 2 to share to grains in rocks to form new
us their understanding about minerals (clays) and soluble salts.
Chemical Weathering. These reactions occur particularly
when the water is slightly acidic.
These chemical processes need
water, and occur more rapidly at
higher temperature, so warm, damp
climates are best. Chemical
weathering (especially
hydrolysis and oxidation) is the first
stage in the production of soils.
There are different types of
chemical weathering, the most
important are:

1. Carbonation – Carbon
dioxide in the air dissolves in
rainwater and becomes weakly
acidic. This weak “carbonic acid”
can dissolve limestone as it seeps
into cracks and cavities. Over many
years, solution of the rock can form
spectacular cave systems.
2. Acidification – Polluting
gases, like sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide dissolve in
 rainwater to make stronger acids.
When this rainwater falls, we get
acid rain. This acid attacks many
rock types, both by solution and
hydrolysis, seriously damaging
buildings and monuments.
3. Hydrolysis – the breakdown of
rock by acidic water to produce
clay and soluble
salts. Hydrolysis takes place when
acid rain reacts with rock- forming
minerals such as feldspar to
produce clay and salts that are
removed in solution. The only
common rock-forming mineral that
is not affected is quartz, which is a
chemically resistant mineral.
Therefore, quartz and clay are the
two of the most common minerals
in sedimentary rocks.
4. Hydration – A type of
chemical weathering where water
reacts chemically with the rocks,
modifying its chemical structure.
Example: H2O (water) is added to
CaSO4 (calcium sulfate) to create
CaSO4 + 2H2O (calcium sulfate
dihydrate). It changes from
anhydrite to gypsum.
5. Oxidation – the breakdown of
rock by oxygen and water, often
giving ironrich rocks a rusty-
colored weathered
surface.

Very good, Group 2. You explain it
very well. Let us give 10 claps to
our first group.

Lastly, let us hear the representative Biological weathering of rocks

of the last group to share to us their occurs when rocks are weakened by
understanding about Biological different biological agents like
Weathering. plants and animals. When plant
roots grow through rocks, it creates
fracture and cracks that result
eventually to rock breakage. It can
be classified into:

1. Biological Weathering
by Physical Means.
Burrowing animals like
shrews, moles and
earthworms create holes on
the ground by excavation
and move the rock
fragments to the surface.
These fragments become
more exposed to
other
environmental factors that
can further enhance
 their weathering.
Furthermore, humans also
indirectly contribute to
biological weathering by
different activities that
cause rocks to break.
2. Biological
Weathering by
Chemical Compounds.
Some plants and animals
also produced acidic
substances that react with
the rock and cause its slow
disintegration.

Very good, Group 3! You explain it

very well. Let us give 10 claps to (10 Claps)
our first group.

Any follow up
questions/clarifications on the None, Ma’am!
different types of Weathering?

F. Developing Mastery Activity 4: Let Us Practice

(Collaborative Work)

Since there is none, let us have

another group activity entitled
“HAPPY or SAD IN
WEATHERING”.
I will be distributing to each group a
happy and a sad emoji face. Raise the
happy one if the given statement
about Weathering is TRUE and raise
the sad one if the given statement is
FALSE. Each group will only be
given three seconds to answer, and
each correct answer is equivalent to
1 point. Am I clear? Yes, Ma’am!

Then, lets begin!

1. Gravity is one of the agents

of weathering.

2. Exfoliation occurs when

water continually seeps into
cracks, freezes and expands
eventually breaking the rock
apart.

3. Carbonation occurs when

carbon dioxide dissolved in
water makes acid and reacts
with rocks.
 4. Burrowing animals cannot
contribute on weathering of
rocks.

5. Hydrolysis takes place when

acid rain reacts with rock-
forming minerals such as
feldspar to produce clay and
salts that are removed in
solution.

6. Animals produce acidic

compounds that can cause
rock disintegration.

7. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen

oxide when mix with water
produces basic substance that
can break down rocks’
components.

8. Humans indirectly
contribute on weathering.

9. Water alters chemical

components of rocks that
cause weathering.

10. Earthworms are physical

weathering agent.
