PROCEDURES:
I.
II.
Introduction
Assign one student to lead the prayer.
Check the attendance, seating arrangement and fixing the room.
Ask the students the following questions:
a. How the geologic processes and regimes operated, resulting in the present physiographic
landscape?
b. How weathering and erosion changes the surface of earth?
c. How do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes move and shake the rocks of earth?
Motivation
L.O 1a; 1b; 1C; 2A; 2B
Four pics one word: prepare at least five sets of pictures that are related to exogenic or endogenic
processes on earth. Ask the students to guess the name of the process depicted on each set of
pictures, and classify the process as either exogenic or endogenic.
III.
Instruction/delivery
L.O. 1a; 1b; 1c
Introduction and ask the learners to differentiate physical from chemical weathering, and cite examples
for each type of weathering.
L.O. 3a; 3b
Ask the learners to identify the different types of mass wasting based on the type of motion.
L.O. 4.a; 4.b; 4.c
Discuss and ask the learners to name the sources of earths internal heat and the forms they assume
on their emplacement in the crust.
L.O. 7.a; 7.b; 7.c
Discuss and ask the learners the effects of altering the condition of rocks subjected to pressure and
temperature.
L.O. 9.a
Introduction and describe the different stresses on rocks.
IV.
Application/practice
L.O. 8.a; 8.a; 9.a;
Think-pair-share. Post or write on the board a topic or questions about types of stress that influence
rock behaviour. Give time for the students to think about the topic or question. Then, instruct them to
pair-off and discuss the topic or answer to the question with their partner. Finally, call on some students
to share their insights/answers with the whole class.
V.
Enrichment
L.O. 1.a; 1.b; 1.c; 2.a; 2.b; 3.a; 3.b; 5.a; 5.b; 6.a; 6.b; 7.a; 7.b; 7.c.
Ask the learners to answer to reflect upon question, If geological processes seem to bring risk to
human safety, where then is a safe place to live? Is there ever any? Then, call on some students to
share their answer with the class.
L.O. 8.a; 8.b
To learn the different types of igneous rocks and their characteristics, ask the learners to visit
http://geology.about.com/od/rocks/a/Rock-Picture-Index.htm and click on the rock type to view its
picture and features.
VI.
Evaluation
Unit test based on prepared test paper and graded recitation.
