Lesson Guide in Earth and Life Science

I. OBJECTIVES

The learners demonstrate an understanding of the geologic processes

that occur on the surface of the Earth such as weathering, erosion, mass
A. Content Standards
wasting, and sedimentation (include the role of ocean basins in the
formation of sedimentary rocks)

B. Performance The learners shall be able to make a simple map showing places where
Standards erosion and landslides may pose risks in the community

The learners describe how rocks undergo weathering (S11ES-IIa-23)

a. Explain the principal differences among the various physical, chemical

influence weathering rates;
c. Appreciate that by disintegrating and decomposing rock, weathering
prepares rock fragments for erosion, transportation, and deposition

concepts and
practicing new skills 1
(ACTIVITY PROPER)
The teacher enumerates different exogenic processes. (The definition of
mass wasting, water cycle and sedimentary processes such as
weathering, erosion, deposition and transport should be posted on the
board).
2. The teacher should discuss thoroughly each exogenic processes by
giving a concrete example with pictures or video clips. (Make the
discussion engaging by asking students about their observation, news or
natural disaster related to the topics
within their community.)
Emphasize that the rain, blowing winds, river flowing, animal grazing and
alike contribute or agent in the degradation process of the rocks.
Explain why water cycle classified as one of exogenic process or ask the
students.
3. Describe how the rocks undergo weathering by physical or chemical
means. Give them a glimpse on the stability of minerals. Emphasize
that the least stable minerals are susceptible to weathering attack.

(APPLICATION)

The following questions could be asked by the teachers:

1. What are the different exogenic processes?
H. Making generalizations 2. Why does water cycle classified as one of exogenic process?
and abstractions about 3. How do rocks undergo weathering?
the lesson 4. Differentiate between chemical and physical weathering.
(GENERALIZATION) 5. In what way living organisms such as earthworm can contribute to the
so-called biological weathering?
6. What are the different environmental factors or conditions that may
cause weathering of rocks?
I. Evaluating learning Make an Scrapbook containing at least ten different exorgenic processes
