Name: Date:

Grade: Section:

Quarter: _1_ Week: 2 MELC(s): identify common rock-forming minerals using


their physical & chemical properties S11/12ES-Ia-9; classify rocks into igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic S11/12ES-Ib-10; and explain how the products of
weathering are carried away by erosion & deposited elsewhere S11/12ES-Ib-12.

⮚ Title of Textbook/LM to Study: Earth and Life Science G-11/12

Topic: Rocks: Types, Processes and Characteristics


⮚ Objectives:
1. Identify rocks from minerals.
2. Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
3. Explain how the products of weathering are carried away by erosion
and deposited elsewhere.

Let Us Discover

ACTIVITY 1: Decoding
Using the code written below, decode the following. Write your answer on the
space provided.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Congratulations! Looking at your decoded terms, classify them as a group. Yes!


Those are rock-forming minerals. Rocks are made up of two or more minerals.
Minerals are embedded in rocks. Rock forming minerals are formed from the
combination of few common minerals referred to as rock-forming minerals.

ACTIVITY 3:
Refer to the figure above. Analyze and determine the flow of ideas. Fill the
blanks with the correct answer.

1. are rocks formed by accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic
particles at the Earth’s surface and formed in layers.
2. are rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of molten materials.
3. are rocks formed when existing rock is transformed physically or
chemically at high temperature and pressure.
4. is the alteration of the composition and structure of a rock by high heat,
pressure or other natural agency.
5. process by which rocks are broken down into small pieces. It begins
when the earth’s crust is uplifted by tectonic force.

Let Us Apply

The illustration you had just analyzed is the rock cycle. It explains how the three
basic rocks are related and how earth processes, over geologic time change a rock
from one type into another. Plate tectonic activity, along with weathering and erosion,
is responsible for the continued recycling of rocks.

To further learn about the rocks, please try answering the items below.

ACTIVITY 4A: FILLING UP

ACTIVITY 4B: DO IT
DROP BREAK MOVE

Weathering: it!
Wind, water, and other causes
Break rocks into smaller pieces.

Erosion: it!
Water, wind and gravity move
the pieces.

Deposition: it!
Pieces are dropped in a new
place

ACTIVITY 4C:

Great job! I hope you have enjoyed doing the activities and learned a lot from them.
