LESSON PLAN IN Earth and Life Science

2nd QUARTER S.Y. 2023-2024

Date: November 21-24, 2023 Subject Teacher: Jan Aian Rey N. Naron

Grade Level: 11-12 (11-ABM, 11-HUMSS) (12-TVL)


Learning Area: Earth and Life Science

Objective: to know what is igneous rock

Engage

Objective: To capture students' interest and find out what they already know about
rocks and specifically igneous rocks.

Activity:

 Begin the lesson with a short video clip showing volcanic eruptions and the
formation of igneous rocks.
 Pose the question, "What do you think happens to the lava from a volcanic eruption
once it cools down?"

Discussion Prompts:

 What are some properties of rocks that you observe in the video?
 Can you think of any examples of igneous rocks that you may have come across in
your daily life?

Explore

Objective: To provide students with an opportunity to explore and investigate the


characteristics of igneous rocks.

Activity:

 Hand out samples of different igneous rocks to small groups of students.


 Instruct them to observe and note down the texture, color, and density of each rock
sample.
 Guide them to perform simple tests to determine the hardness and grain size.

Discussion Prompts:

 How do the different samples compare to each other in terms of texture and color?
 What do these observations tell us about how these rocks might have formed?
Explain

Objective: To provide explanations about how igneous rocks are classified and the
processes of their formation.

Activity:

 Present a mini-lecture on the classification of igneous rocks into intrusive and


extrusive categories based on their formation.
 Use diagrams and photographs to illustrate the concepts.

Discussion Prompts:

 What are the main differences between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?
 How does the rate of cooling affect the texture of igneous rocks?

Elaborate

Objective: To encourage students to apply their understanding of igneous rock


classification to new situations.

Activity:

 Provide a chart describing various environments of formation and characteristics of


different igneous rocks.
 Ask students to match rock samples to their likely environment of formation based
on their characteristics.

Discussion Prompts:

 Given a new rock sample, how would you classify it as either intrusive or extrusive?
 How can you use the characteristics of igneous rocks to infer details about Earth's
geological history?

Evaluate

Objective: To assess students' understanding of the classification of igneous rocks.

Activity:

 Students take a quiz that includes matching rock samples to their correct
classification and short answer questions.

Discussion Prompts:

 Why is it important for geologists to classify rocks?


 How might the classification of rocks change as new information is discovered?
Assessment Questions

1. What are the two main types of igneous rocks and how are they formed?
2. Describe two key differences between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.
3. How does the rate of cooling influence the texture of igneous rocks?
4. Give an example of an intrusive igneous rock and describe its typical
characteristics.
5. Why is it significant to classify rocks in the study of geology?

Sample Activities

 Rock Identification Workshop: Students use a flowchart to classify provided rock


samples based on their properties.
 Field Trip Report: After a visit to a local geological site, students write a report on
the igneous rocks observed, classifying them and discussing their formation.
 Research Project: Students select an igneous rock and create a poster or
presentation on its properties, uses, and the environment of formation.
 Role-Play: Students role-play as geologists classifying rocks in the field, explaining
their reasoning for each classification.
 Interactive Quiz: An online quiz game where students classify rocks and beat the
clock to test their knowledge.
