ELICIT KNOWLEDGE GATHERING: LETS DONATE DATA! (5 MINS)

A. Reviewing
previous The teacher will provide an empty box and each student will fill the box
lessons or with different words that they have learned from their previous
presenting new lesson, after gathering the different words from the student. Randomly
lessons selected student will choose a presenter from the donation box of
knowledge.

Knowledge integration is a process through which learners put

together different sorts of information and experiences, identifying and
establishing relationships and expanding frameworks for connecting
them. Learners must not only accumulate knowledge from individual
episodes of experience but also integrate the knowledge they gain
across time, location, circumstances, and the various formats in which
knowledge appears. (Esposito and Bauer, 2017).National Academies
of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2018. How People Learn II:

Academies Press. https://doi.org/10.17226/24783.

Decode the encrypted word below to unlock the new lesson. Use the
numbers and letter keys to help you decode and answer the following.
Decoding is the ability to apply knowledge of letter patterns to create a
word. Klein & Brown states that it helps the students to have a visual
sequential processing and immediate working memory. (Retrieved

PICTURE PLAY: HEPHEP! HOORAY
The teacher will present different pictures and each picture has a clue,
the student will determine whether the object is a mineral or not, by
performing “HepHep! Hooray!”. Analyzing Images lead students in
a critical analysis of an image that enhances their observational,
interpretive, and critical thinking skills.

Instruction
Clap your hand two (2) times and say HEP HEP! if it is a mineral
and raise your both hand and say HOORAY! if it is NOT a mineral.

EXPLAIN Mineralogy is the study of minerals.

Discussing new  Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
concepts and practicing  Mineral is defined as a naturally formed, generally inorganic,
skills crystalline solid composed of an ordered array of atoms and
.69+ having a specific chemical composition.
Characteristics of Minerals
1. naturally occurring a product of Earth's natural processes
2. inorganic-it must be product of Earth's physical processes.
3. homogeneous solid- minerals should have definite volume and rigid
shape
4. definite chemical composition represented by a chemical formula
5. orderly crystalline structure-atoms of minerals are arranged in an
orderly and repeating pattern

1.) Physical Properties of Minerals

Scientists identify more common minerals by their color or
appearance; others include their taste, smell, feel, and sound.
The physical properties that can be tested are:
1.) luster
2.) hardness
3.) streak
4.) cleavage
5.) fracture
6.) color

a.) Luster refers to the way light is reflected from a mineral surface.
Some have a metallic surface such as gold, silver and copper. Others
are described as vitreous or glassy, pearly, silky, resinous, and earthy
or dull.

b.) Hardness - refers to the minerals resistance to being scratched.

 the harder ones are difficult to scratch;
 the softer ones are less resistant to scratches.
Frederich Moh, a German mineralogist prepared a scale of hardness
with a number of 1-10 in the increasing hardness.

c.) Color and streak powdered mineral. - refers to the color of the
The sample is rubbed across a piece of unglazed porcelain or streak
plate.

d.) Cleavage - is the tendency of minerals to break along planes of

weak bonding. It is described by the number of planes exhibited and
the angles at which they meet.
e.) Fracture - minerals that do not exhibit cleavage are said to
fracture when broken. Some break like glass, some into splinters or
fiber.

f.) Color - Some are of the same color like azurite is always deep blue,
malachite is green, cinnabar is red, sulfur is yellow.
g.) Specific Gravity is a number which represents the ratio to the
weight of an equal volume of water. Example, Galena is 7.5 times
heavier than a comparable volume of water.

h.) Crystal form - external features of a mineral reflect its orderly

internal arrangement of atoms.

2.) Chemical Properties of Minerals

A sample chemical test is
 taste test. NaCl (common table salt) has a distinctly salty taste.
 The fizz test is used, such as carbonate minerals effervesce (fizz)
in hydrochloric acid, giving off bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.
Natural Resources
The Earth's crust and oceans are the sources of a wide variety
of useful and essential minerals. Renewable resources can be
replenished. Common examples are plants and animals for food,
natural fibers for clothing, and forest products for lumber and paper.
Nonrenewable are same basic resources such as iron, aluminum, and
copper. Others are fuels like oil, natural gas and coal.

Rich deposits of metallic minerals such as iron, nickel, copper,

gold, silver, chromium, zinc, and lead are also located. Gold is the
precious metal which can be found pure in nature. Mercury reserves
are located in Albay and Palawan. Our biggest lead deposits are found
in Ayala, Zamboanga City. Molybdemum deposits occur in Batangas.
Gold is the metal for adornment. It exhibits a shiny yellow color and a
specific gravity of 29.3. Other metals chosen are silver and platinum.
Platinum is used as a catalyst in refining petroleum.

Minerals in the Philippines

Nonmetallic minerals include:
a.) elomite limestone
b.) feldspar
c.) silica
d.) clay

Limestone is used to make concrete and cement. It is found in Cebu,

Negros and Bulacan,
Feldapar is used in making tiles and ceramic toilet ware found in
Ilocos Norte and Pampanga.

Silica is used for making glass, found in Palawan and Negros

 Occidental.

Clay is used for pottery found in Ilocos Norte. Red marble abounds in
Romblon.

Conserving Our Mineral Resources

It took thousands or even millions of years to produce these
reserves. Mineral resources are non-renewable. It is important for us
to utilize wisely and to conserve our country's wealth for future
generations to come. We should:
a.) recycle our products to reduce waste,
b.) recover minerals from mine tailings,
c.) control corrosion and
d.) use alloys whenever feasible. We can help conserve our resources
for our needs during our lifetime.

ASSIGNMENT: TAKE ME HOME

The class will be divided into two groups. Assume you are a
mineralogist that discovered a new type of mineral. To inform not only
the class but also the common people, you are then tasked to make
an infographic that will state its characteristics, properties and
significance (whether economic, health and scientific). present these
important data through a concept map.
