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
Activity:
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:
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
Activity:
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
Activity:
Students take a quiz that includes matching rock samples to their correct
classification and short answer questions.
Discussion Prompts:
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?
