Procedure:

A. Preparatory Activities:

1. Daily Routine

a. Prayer
b. Checking of attendance
2. Communicating learning objectives

Introduce the following learning objectives using the suggested protocols

(Verbatim, Own Words, Read-aloud)

a. I can identify the importance of minerals to the society

b. I can describe how ore minerals are formed.

B. Development of the Activities:

Motivation:

Show the students the short video “Mining and the Modern World” of the Ground
Rules film (2minutes) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmXT1YgfoTA).

b. The teacher can bring out items from his or her bag such as cell phone, keys,
coins, pencil/pen, make-up, powder, glasses, etc. and identify the minerals involved in the
manufacture of each item.

4. Lesson Proper:

Give a demonstration/lecture/simulation
Lecture proper (outline)

a. Define some significant terms listed in the “Life Cycle of a Mineral Deposit
– A Teacher’s Guide for Hands-On Mineral Education Activities”.

b. Differentiate the types of mineral resources. Discuss with students and give
examples.

 Types of mineral resources: metallic and non-metallic

 Metallic mineral deposits: gold, silver, copper, platinum, iron
 Non-metallic resources: talc, fluorite, sulfur, sand, gravel

c. Discuss the occurrence of a mineral resource. Relate it to the rock cycle and
plate tectonics

d. Enumerate the different mineral resources and discuss their origins. Give
examples for each.
- Mineral resources can be classified according to the mechanism responsible
for concentrating the valuable substance. Geology? How much control has life on
climate?
Valuing:

Recognize the importance of conserving and promoting our natural resources for
future generations.

C. Evaluation:

1. Differentiate metallic and non-metallic resources. Give examples.

2. Can a mineral be formed in more than one process? If yes, give example. If no,
explain why.

D. Assignment:

Other than as a jewellery, why is gold important to society?
