    Rocks can be classified based on their physical properties such as color, texture, hardness, and mineral composition. Students worked in groups to examine rock samples using a magnifying glass, coin, and fingernail to observe features and group similar rocks. They identified differences in color, size, texture, and hardness. Being able to classify rocks based on their distinguishing physical characteristics shows that rocks have varying properties.

    Objective:

    Describe how rocks turn


    into soil S5FE-IVa-1
    The teacher will present a trivia about
    • Sandstone is used to build buildings.
    • Marble is used for monuments, buildings
    floor, counter tops, and kitchen items.
    • Limestone is used to decorative trims,
    buildings, monuments park bench.
    • Granite is used for monuments, buildings,
    grave markers
    Look at the pictures
    What are these places? What do
    you see in these places?
    Where else can you find rocks?
    Group Activity: “Classifying
    Rocks”
    Problem: How are rocks
    classified?
    Materials: sample of rocks,
    magnifying glass, coin, glass,
    fingernail
    Procedure: 1. Put all rock samples
    in a container.
    2. Examine the rocks. Use the
    magnifying lens to observe the
    physical properties of rocks such
    as color, contents, and texture of
    each sample.
    3. Rub the rocks against each other.
    Scratch the rock using the glass and
    your fingernail.
    4. Look for some features that are
    similar with the sample. Determine if
    they have the same color, crystal or
    mineral contents, and hardness
    5. Group similar samples
    Guided Questions:
    1. In what ways are rocks similar?
    2. In what ways are rocks differ?
    What do you think is the cause for all
    these differences?
    4. What are the criteria you used in
    grouping them?
    Conclusion:
    ______________________________
    ______________________________
    ____________________________
    Group Reporting / Presentation of
    the Output Sharing of results
    Answer these questions:
    1. Describe the colors of the rocks. Are they
    different?
    2. Do they have different size, shape and
    texture?
    3. How do we know that they absorb much
    water?
    4. Were the rocks that did not break when you
    scratch them?
    5. How do you describe these rocks?
    6. How were you able to classify the rocks?
    7. What did we use to determine the
    hardness of rocks?
    Directions: Identify the property of the
    mineral described. The first letter given
    will serve as your clue. ______1. What R
    refers to the solid materials that make up
    most of Earth’s crust?
    ________ 2. What H refers to the way a
    mineral resists being scratched?
    _____ 3. What S is used to test the
    hardness of a mineral?
    _______ 4. What L refers to the way a
    mineral reflects light?
    ________ 5. What C refers to the
    property of minerals to break along one
    or more smooth, flat surface?_________
    In building a house which do you
    think are you going to use? Why
    do you say so?
    What is a rock?
    What are the characteristics of rocks?
    What are the minerals present in rocks?
    Rocks are combination of one or more
    minerals that are naturally formed
    and found on the surface or beneath the
    surface of earth.
    Rocks and minerals may be classified
    according to their characteristics
    such as, texture, color, luster, streak,
    hardness,
    specific gravity, cleavage, and shape
    Characteristics of Rocks
    Color: it is the most observable
    characteristic of work. However, some
    mineral have different colors due to
    impurities and chemical reactions. For
    example: pure quartz, or silicon dioxide,
    is a
    colorless mineral. Amethyst is violet. A
    trace of other elements makes it green,
    pink, blue, or some other color.
    Luster: it describes the way light reflects
    off a surface of a mineral. Silver and
    gold possess a metallic luster that makes
    these very shiny, while non – metallic
    are dull.
    Some kinds of non – metallic luster are
    pearly, greasy or dull like pyroxene and
    muscovite.
    Streaks: it refers to the color of a thin
    layer powdered mineral. It is obtained
    by rubbing a mineral against a hard
    surface such as porcelain or unglazed
    tile. The mineral “streak off” into
    powder.
    Hematite can be red, black, or brown;
    but if you rub it against a rough surface,
    it will produce a reddish – brown streak.
    Cleavage: it is the property of minerals
    that refers to how they break. A mineral
    has good cleavage if it breaks along
    irregular surface.
    Hardness: the hardness of a mineral is
    measured by how it scratches a softer
    object or how a harder object scratches
    it. Hardness can be measured by
    scratching one mineral with another
    mineral, a steel knife blade, your
    fingernail or a shiny copper coin.
    Diamond is the hardest mineral because
    it can scratch all other minerals. Talc is
    the softest mineral because it can be
    easily scratched by all other minerals as
    well as by a fingernail
    Direction: Choose the letter of the
    correct answer. 1. Which of the
    following best describes a rock?
    A. Solid and organic material
    B. Solid and inorganic material
    C. Solid and liquid organic material
    D. Liquid and inorganic material
    2. In your science activity, you
    observed that some rock samples are
    big while others ara small. Your
    observation clearly shows that the
    rocks may differ in . A. Color B.
    Hardness C. Shape D. Size
    3. Your teacher asked you to use a hand
    lens to observe the rock samples. You
    noticed that some rocks have coarse grains
    while others have fine grains in them. This
    shows that rocks differ in ________.
    A. Size B. Texture C. Shape D. Color
    4. While doing the activity, you observed
    that some rocks can be scratched by other
    rocks. This shows that rocks differ in
    _________.
    A. Size B. Color C. Hardness D. Shape
    5. In your science class, you were able to
    observe that rocks differ in size, color,
    shape texture and hardness. This
    observation shows that rocks ________.
    A. Maybe soft or hard
    B. Maybe light or dark – colored
    C. Maybe big or small
    D. Have different characteristics
    Collect different rocks then tell its
    characteristics
