Grade 11
Daily Lesson Plan

In
Earth & Life Science
Active Learning Time: 1 hour

Competency No. Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic (S11/12ES-Ib-10)
Skill: Classify
Content: Three main categories of rocks
Context: Common Rocks (found in the rock sample)
Methodology: Video Analysis/ Video clip presentation, Use of Realia, Instructional Aids, Tables
Learning Episode 1
A. Motivation
 Today, we are going to classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic
 It is important to learn this lesson so that we will have a thorough understanding of
the classification of rocks based on how they are formed.
 At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to classify the rock samples into
igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
Scoring:
Each rock sample and classification is equivalent to 1 point for a total of 10pts
B. Probe and Respond

 Review
Yesterday, we have discussed about the rock forming minerals.
What is a mineral?
What are the physical properties of a rock-forming mineral?
 Pre-requisite skills
The teacher will discuss the definition of a rock.
Rocks or stones are natural substances, a solid aggregate of one or more minerals
clumped together with other Earth materials through natural processes.
The building blocks of rock are the minerals.
Do you know the main classification of rocks? How are rocks classified?
The teacher will show a video presentation about the three types of rocks.
3 Types of Rocks.mp4
Guide questions will be given to be used for the discussion. The teacher will pause the
video every after 1 classification of rock to have discussion.
1st Part
Guide Questions:
1. How are rocks classified? – based on formation
2. What are the three types of rocks?
Igneous , sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
3. Where is Igneous rocks found? – volcanic region
4. How do Igneous rocks formed? – formed from magma and lava
What is magma? What is lava?
5. What are the examples of Igneous Rocks? – pumice & granite
The teacher will discuss IGNEOUS ROCKS
Igneous Rocks
 Latin word “ ignis” – fire
 Form from the crystallization of either magma or lava
Magma –a molten rock material beneath the surface of the earth

Lava – molten rock material extruded to the surface of the earth through a
volcano
Classified into two main categories:

1. intrusive (plutonic)
 comes from magma
 cool slowly deep in the Earth’s crust
 Example: diorite, granite, pegmatite
2. extrusive(volcanic)
 comes from lava
 cool rapidly at the surface of the Earth
 Example: pumice, obsidian, basalt
2nd Part
Guide Questions:
1. How do sedimentary rocks formed?
It is formed by natural processes like rain, wind, flowing river, carry soil particles
sand & dead plants
2. What are the examples of sedimentary rocks?
The teacher will discuss SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
Sedimentary rocks
 Sediments-“ remaining particles”
 Are formed from the deposition of different materials on Earth’s surface
 Come from pre-existing rocks or pieces of dead organisms that have been
” lithified” or cemented together by natural processes
 Usually they show distinct layering or bedding on the surface
 Mostly found in beaches, rivers, and oceans, where sand, mud, and other type of
sediments are present
 They preserve or record the kind of environment that existed when they were
being formed
 Fossils (or remains of organisms that had lived millions of years ago ) are
preserve in sedimentary rocks
3rd Part
Guide Questions:
1. How do metamorphic rocks formed? – formed from heat and pressure
2. What are the examples of metamorphic rocks? Limestone to marble, quartzite,
slate
The teacher will discuss METAMORPHIC ROCKS
Metamorphic rocks
 Meta – “change”, morph – “form”
 Are rocks that derive from igneous or sedimentary rocks that were exposed to
high pressure, high temperature, or a combination of both, deep below the
surface of Earth
 Never involves melting of the original rock
Learning Episode 2
Modelling:
The teacher will model how to classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
CLASSIFICATION How they are formed Rock Samples
Form from the crystallization diorite, granite, pegmatite

IGNEOUS ROCKS of either magma or lava
pumice, obsidian, basalt
shale, sandstone,
Are formed from the mudstone, Chalk,
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS deposition of different limestone, halite, rock
materials on Earth’s surface gypsum and dolomite
Derive from igneous or Gneiss ,slate, serpentine

sedimentary rocks that were Marble, quartzite,
METAMORPHIC ROCKS exposed to high pressure, high anthracite coal
temperature, or a combination
of both, deep below the surface
of Earth
Learning Episode 3

of both, deep below the surface
of Earth
Learning Episode 4
Classify the following rock samples into Igneous Rocks, Sedimentary Rocks and Metamorphic Rocks
1. Pumice – IGNEOUS ROCK

2. Mudstone – SEDIMENTARY ROCK
3. Marble – METAMORPHIC ROCK
4. Basalt—IGNEOUS ROCK
5. Granite – IGNEOUS ROCK
6. Gneiss – METAMORPHIC ROCK
7. Slate – METAMORPHIC ROCK
8. Chalk – SEDIMENTARY ROCK
9. Serpentine—METAMORPHIC ROCK
10. Sandstone – SEDIMENTARY ROCK
