LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE (GRADE 11)

I.

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the period, the learners are expected to:

a. define rocks
b. enumerate the three types of rocks
c. describe a rock in terms of texture and structure
d. classify a rock whether igneous, sedimentary or
metamorphic
e. appreciate the importance of studying rocks
II.

SUBJECT MATTER:THREE TYPES OF ROCKS

Materials: Laptop, for Power Point Presentation; Rock Samples

III.

LEARNING POINTS:
A. Motivation:
The teacher will instruct his students to move outside and get
the rock that attracts them most. They will be given 2-3 minutes
to bring their rock inside the room.
Ask the students what they know about those rocks.
Now, ask the students what they want to know about rocks.
B. Presentation:
You already have some simple knowledge about rocks that they
are hard and others. Now, our lesson for today has something to
do with rocks having a deeper understanding and more details
and how they became a key to the past and a guide for the
future.
How? Thats what you have to find out later.
C. Lesson Proper:
Discussion: The following questions are to be tackled within the
discussion.
a. What are rocks? What is the relationship of rocks to
minerals?
b. What are the guides to be used in
identifying or characterizing a rock?
c. What are the three types of rock?
d. How are those rocks created and how are they classified
as igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
e. What is the importance of studying these rocks?
There will be also short-enriching activities during the discussion.

IV. EVALUATION: Performance Task

The class will be instructed to group themselves into three. The
teacher will give them a type of rock and instruct the learners to
perform the following tasks.
a. Describe the rock in terms of texture and structure.
b. Write their qualitative descriptions in a clean sheet of paper.
c. Identify what type of rock.

d. Report it in front of the class.

The learners can ask questions to the group regarding the tasks.
V. ASSIGNMENT:
Search for a rock cycle diagram and answer the following questions.
1. When these three types of rock melt, what is the endpoint of
the rocks?
2. Which of the types of rock can become a metamorphic rock?
3. What is the end product upon disintegration or weathering of a
sedimentary rock?
4. Do compaction involved in creating metamorphic rock?
5. Make a story of rock starting from magma and ending up to
magma.
Critical Thinking Question:
a. If the temperature within the Earth is too high melting the
rocks, why is the Earths interior is solid?
b. If metamorphic rocks are formed within Earth, how can they
be found at the Earths surface?
c. What is the factor present in igneous and metamorphic rocks
thats why only sedimentary rocks can only contain fossil
remains?
