A Detailed Lesson Plan in Teaching Science XI

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:
1. classify and describe the three basic rock types;
2. establish relationships between rock types and the origin and environment of
deposition/formation;
3. understand the different geologic processes involved in rock formation; and
4. explain the rock cycle.

Subject Matter

a. Topic: Rock Formation

b. References: Teaching Guide for Senior High School Earth and Life Science

II. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Greetings/Prayer
Good morning class!
Good morning, Sir!
How are you today?
We are fine Sir!
That’s great!
Please stand up and let us pray
first. (One student will lead the prayer)
Is anyone absent today?
None sir.
Very good!
2. Motivation
I have here a video clips, I want
you to critically view and understand
what the video is all about. After
viewing take down necessary facts
that can you associate with the
presentation
(Video presentation)
 Guide questions:
1. What are the three types Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
of rocks? rocks
Volcanic eruptions, Sedimentation, high
2. How do they form? pressure and temperature.

Igneous: granite, basalt

3. What are the examples of
Sedimentary: Limestone, breccia
each type of rocks?
Metamorphic: marble, quartz, slate
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation of the Lesson
Ok, after watching the video clips,
what do you think is our lesson for
today? Yes, Neil.
Sir, it has something to do about
Rock.
That’s right!
Our topic for today is particularly
about Rock Formation.
2. Discussion
Rocks are classified on the basis of
the mode of formation. There are three
types of Rocks, what are those?
Yes, Jessica?
The three types of Rocks are Igneous,
Sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rocks.
Very good!
From the video presented, how do
igneous rocks are being defined?
(the teacher will ask volunteer from Igneous rocks - rocks that are formed from
the class) the solidification of molten rock material
(magma or lava).
That’s right!
From the definition, magma and
lava are being mentioned.
 What do you think is the difference
between Magma and Lava? Yes, Magma is a molten rock material
Christian. beneath the surface of the earth. Lava is
molten rock material extruded to the
surface of the earth through volcanic or
fissure eruptions.
Very well said Christian!
(the teacher will deepen the
formation and other classifications of
igneous rocks)
Molten rock material can solidify
below the surface of the earth (plutonic
or intrusive igneous rocks) or at the
surface of the Earth (volcanic or
extrusive igneous rocks).
Isn’t it that in the video, intrusive
is being differentiated with that of
extrusive?
Who among you here can state
how those classifications of rocks differ
from one another?
Yes, Miko?
(the teacher will process the
responses of the students)
Intrusive Igneous Rock
 from solidified magma underneath
the earth
 gradual lowering of the
temperature gradient at depth
towards the surface
Extrusive Igneous Rock
 from solidified lava at or near the
surface of the earth
 fast rate of cooling/crystallization
due to huge variance in the
 temperature between Earth’s
surface and underneath
Great!
Based from its definition, can
anybody cite examples of each
classifications?
Yes, Danica?
Intrusive: granite, diorite, gabbro
Extrusive: rhyolite, andesite, basalt
Very Good!
Do you have any question?
None sir!
If none, lets proceed to another
classification of rocks, what is the
another one?
Yes, Rena?
Sedimentary Rock
Very good!
From your own understanding,
how can you describe or define
sedimentary rocks?
Yes, Jayvin?
These are rocks that formed through the
accumulation, compaction, and cementation
of sediments.
Precisely!
Earlier, we were able to distinguish
the two classifications of igneous
rocks. This time, sedimentary rocks
also compose of two classifications.
These are, Clastic and non-clastic.
Anyone who can differentiate
them?
Clastic rocks are composed of pre-existing
rock particles while non-clastic rocks are
usually derived from chemical precipitation.
 Absolutely, now just like igneous
rocks, these sedimentary
classifications also consist of distinct
examples. As shown in the video clips,
these examples include______?
(The teacher will ask students to
cite examples) Clastic rocks: sandstone, siltstone, shale and
breccia
Non-Clastic: limestone, rock salt and chert.
The last rock type is the
metamorphic rock. As you have heard
from the discussions, how does
metamorphic rock form?
(The teacher will ask some students
to provide answers to the question?)
Metamorphic rocks form changes in the rock
due to increased pressure and temperature.
This usually results to recrystallization of
minerals into new or larger crystals.
From the definition, high pressure
and temperature play an essential role
in metamorphism of rocks.
Don’t you know class that when
heat/temperature is taken as a factor
contact metamorphisms occur and
rocks are non-foliated. On the other
hand, when pressure is taken as a
factor regional metamorphism exists
and rocks are foliated.
Now, who wants give examples in
each classification of metamorphic
rocks.
Yes, Sam?
Contact metamorphism: Marble,
quartzite, and hornfels
 Regional metamorphism: slate, Gneiss, and
phyllite.
Good job Sam!
Class, these three rock types also
undergo cycle which is commonly
known as rock cycle. Since it is a cycle
each of them shows
interconnectedness or relationship.
This time, I’m going to share with
you another video clip.
(the teacher will post the video,
and after which he will present the
concepts by flashing the rock cycle)

3. Generalization
I have here flashcards showing the
rock type and its process of formation.
Your task is to connect them base on
their definition.
(the teacher will facilitate the
student’s response and afterwards call
student to make generalization by
reading the output.
4. Application
For your activity, I will group
you into two groups. The first five
columns will be the first groups and
the rest will be the second group.
I have here a graphic
organizer, your task is to fill out the
missing information on the box by
putting the words or phrases given
 to you. And after which you will
assign rapporteur or speaker to
present your output in front.
Do I make myself clear?
Yes sir.
Ok you may start.
Activity proper.
5. Values infusion
From the activity that you
performed a while back, what values
have you learned best aside from the (the students will share their best
concepts? values they gained from the activity or the
discussion)

III. Evaluation
Answer carefully with understanding the following questions. (5 points each)
1. Differentiate the three types of rocks.
2. Draw the rock cycle and give brief description.

IV. Assignment
An assessment homework can be given and to be submitted next meeting. Each student
will do research on 3 rocks (one for each rock type). Included in the discussion are the
following:
1. history of formation
2. common environment of formation
3. common textures
4. common use of the rock
5. localities in the Philippines where you can find them.
