a circle and you will tell me what will
happen to the chalk that I will give to
you.

Things needed:
 2 pieces of chalk
 Hammer
 1 tablespoon of vinegar
 Piece of fine cloth

What to Do:
1. For setup A, get a piece of chalk
and wrap it in a piece of cloth. The pupils do the activity.
Pound it using a hammer.
Be extra careful in using the
hammer.
2. For setup B, get another piece
of chalk and pour the vinegar
on it. Observe what will
happen.
3. Compare the changes that
happened to the two pieces of
chalk.

C. Lesson Proper
a. Activity(Remembering)
I am very happy that you answer our
activity this morning. For our lesson this
morning we will tackle about weathering
and all that is related to it.

Again, what happened to our first piece of The first piece of chalk teacher was divided into
chalk?______? Very good! smaller pieces.

What do you call this kind of This kind of change is physical change.
change?_____? Very good!

The first piece of chalk was divided into

pieces and that’s what we call
physical/mechanical change.

We will assume that the chalk is a rock and This process is called weathering.
it breaks into smaller and bigger pieces.
What do we call this kind of
process?_____? Very good!

Weathering is a process that it breaks the

rocks into fragments. There are two types
of weathering the mechanical weathering
and chemical weathering.

Can anyone tell me what is mechanical Mechanical weathering is the physical wearing
weathering?______? Very good! away of rocks.

The first piece of chalk is what we call

mechanical weathering because the chalk
didn’t change its appearance.

For the second chalk what do you The second chalk was dissolved and change its
notice?_____? Very good! appearance.

The change that was happened to the

second chalk is what we call chemical
weathering.

What is chemical weathering?______? Chemical weathering is a change in appearance.

Very good!
 The second chalk is what we call chemical
weathering it involves a change in the
composition of rocks that allows them to
break down into pieces.

Essential Question
How does the earth change?
b. Analysis
(Activity 2)
In our next activity we will do Let’s play in
the sand!

Things needed:
 Sand
 Wooden Box The pupils will observe what will happen to the
 Electric fan sand.

What to do:
1. Put some dry fine sand in a
wooden box.
2. Put the box on the floor beside
an electric fan.
3. Stand behind the electric fan.
Turn it on, then observe.

Process Question:
What happened to the particles of the The particles of the sand was blown away into
sand?______? Very good! the floor.

What caused the sand to be blown It is caused by the wind that’s why it was blown
away?_____? Very good! away.

The sand was blown away by the wind

and it causes the sand to scattered on the
floor. This kind of activity is one of the
example of agents of weathering. Now we
will discuss more about the agents of
weathering.

Recalling Essential Question

How does the Earth change?
c. Abstraction(Understanding)
There are different agents of weathering
and we will tackle it this morning. Can you The causes why rocks break into pieces are
tell me what are the causes why rocks water, wind and human.
break into pieces?______? Very good!
 These different causes are an example of Water can cause the rocks to breakdown
agents of weathering. The first agents of because water can seep into the cracks of the
weathering is water. Why water can cause rocks.
the rocks to breakdown?_____? Very
good!
Example of this one is the strong waves
when it hit the rocks it will breaks.

The second agents of weathering is wind.

As the wind blows, it carries sand or small
rocks particles to scratch the rocks’
surface. This can bring about mechanical
which can also result to different rock
formation.

The third agents of weathering is

temperature. What will happen to rocks if If the rock is exposed to low temperature it will
it will exposed to low temperature? contracts and in varying temperature it will
varying temperature?______? Very good! expand.
The repeated expansion and contraction
of rocks due to changes in temperature
results in weathering.

The fourth agents of weathering is plants.

Plants can grow on rocks and cause it to
break to pieces. The metabolic or life
process of these plants will cause the
gradual breakage of rocks into smaller
pieces. Trees can trigger weathering. Its
growing roots can break the cemented
ground in search for more minerals in the
soil.

The fifth agents of weathering is animals.

As burrowing animals dig deeper, they
cause the rocks to break into pieces.
Animals that live underground also
contribute to weathering.

The sixth agents of weathering is humans. Humans contribute in weathering by using a

Why do humans contribute to bulldozer to flatten mountains or hills to build
weathering?_____? Very good! houses.

Humans has a greater contribution in

weathering like construction workers use
jackhammer to break boulders of rock as
they repair roads. Also, mining it can cause
weathering by extracting stones or rocks
 from a quarry or an open-pit mine. This
mining activity can trigger landslides. How Weathering can affects human by erosion and
can weathering affects humans?_____? landslides.
Very good!

Can you recall, what are the different The different agents of weathering are water,
agents of weathering?______? Very good! wind, temperature, plants, animals and humans.

d. Application(Analyzing)
Recalling what is the lesson all about.

What is weathering?_____? Very good! Weathering is a process in breaking of rocks into

fragments.

Define the two types of The two types of weathering is mechanical

weathering.______? Very good! weathering where it is the physical wearing
away of rocks while chemical weathering
involves in changing the composition of rocks.

Why weathering is important? Weathering is important because it can give us a

beautiful scenic places and it can help in both
living and non-living organism.
