D. DEVELOPMENTAL
Day 1
PRE-TEST None
ACQUIRE (30 minutes) ● Introduce the lesson briefly by stating that they will
be learning about Origin and structure of the
earth. Relate the motivational activity to the lesson
of the day.

● Teacher plays video about the uniqueness of earth

that are necessary to support life.
Questions to be asked after playing the video:
a. What are the uniqueness of the earth based on
the video?
 b. How does it support Life on Earth?

● The students will be given more examples about

uniqueness of earth.

● Ask the students a question:

● Why do you think earth is special?

Content:

● Geology is the study of the Earth. It is a multi-

disciplinary science that aims to understand
processes occurring within and on the surface of
the planet.

● The early Greeks, including Aristotle and Ptolemy,

describes a model of the universe that is
geocentric. This model locates earth at its center.

● According to Big Bang Theory, the Universe formed

approximately 13.7 billion years ago from a
cataclysmic expansion which hurled all the matter
and created space.

● Universe is all of space and time and their

contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all
other forms of matter and energy.

● The Solar System is the gravitationally bound

system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it,
either directly or indirectly.

● Our planet earth started from the collection of

dust and other particles drifting in space for some
time.

The structure of the earth is divided into four major

components:
 ● Crust - is the thinnest layer of the Earth and is the
layer we live on.

● Mantle - It is the thickest layer of the Earth at

2,900km thick.

● Outer core - It is made of liquid iron and nickel and

is between 3,500-4,000°C.

● Inner core - It is the hottest part of the Earth

reaching temperatures between 4,000-4,700°C,
which are as hot as the surface of the sun.

Uniqueness of Earth
1. Earth is at the right distance from the Sun, the star it
orbits.
2. The presence of an atmosphere makes Earth livable.
3. Presence of water is another key factor.
4. Time for evolution
5. Earth's core allows the recycling of material and
generates a magnetic field that protects us from
radiation.

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four

major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These
four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are
the;
1. Lithosphere (land) - contains all of the cold, hard
solid land of the planet's crust (surface), the semi-
solid land underneath the crust, and the liquid land
near the center of the planet
2. Hydrosphere (water) - contains all the solid,
liquid, and gaseous water of the planet.
3. Biosphere (living things) - contains all the
planet's living things.
 4. Atmosphere (air) - contains all the air in Earth's
system
MAKE MEANING Activity (Individual-Oral) *Integration of real-life
situation “Think and share scenarios that represent a
uniqueness of earth.”
Call students to express their answers about the essential
question.

(Time Allotment: 5 minutes)

Activity 1 (through LMS) *Integration of 7C’s: (Critical
thinking)

The students will answer the activity through google

document which is posted on the google classroom. They
need to submit the activity after the allotted time given to
them within that day.

A. Give 3 examples of uniqueness of earth that is
necessary to support life.

B. Identify the four major components/structures of the

earth and describe each.

C. List down the four subsystems of the Earth and kindly

explain each.

(Time Allotment: 20 minutes)

Day 2 (Part 1)
ACQUIRE (30 minutes) ● Introduce the lesson briefly by stating that they will
be learning about common rock-forming minerals
using their physical and chemical properties.

● The students will be given more examples about

rock-forming minerals using their physical properties
and chemical properties.
Content:
ROCKS- made up of crystalline materials we call minerals.
Mineral- a naturally occurring, inorganic, homogeneous
solid with definite chemical composition and ordered
internal/crystalline structure.

Physical properties to identify a mineral including;

● Luster – is the ability of a mineral to reflect light to

its surface.

● Hardness – it is the resistance of the mineral to

abrasion or scratching.

● Color - is sometimes caused by the presence of trace

elements or compounds within a mineral

● Streak – It is the color of a mineral in powder form.

● Crystal Form/habit – refers to the common or

characteristic shape of a crystal or combination of
crystals.

● Cleavage – is the ability of a mineral to break along

planes of weak bonding.
 ● Fracture – can be an irregular fracture when a
mineral breaks and exhibits uneven surface.

● Specific Gravity - is the ratio of the weight of the

mineral to the weight of the water with an equal
volume.

● Special properties – taste, odor, attraction to

magnets, fluorescence, radioactivity, and reactivity.

Chemical Properties of Minerals

● All minerals have a certain arrangement of elements

in their crystal structure.

● The chemical properties of minerals depend on their

chemical formula and crystal structure.

● Solubility refers the ability of a substance to dissolve

in a solvent at a specified temperature.
Melting point refers to the temperature at which
solid turns into liquid.

For example: Halite

Mineral Name HALITE (TABLE SALT)
Chemical Composition NaCl
Luster non-metallic – vitreous;
transparent to translucent
Hardness Soft (2-2.5)

Color White

Streak White

Crystal Form/Habit Cubic

Cleavage Perfect cubic

 Specific Gravity Light (2.2)

Other Properties Salty taste; very soluble;

produces reddish spark in
flame

The most common rock-forming minerals are:

1. Quartz - It is a glassy-looking hard substance with
white streaks.
2. Feldspar - It is a light-colored material, usually white,
but they can have lighter shades of red or green. It
has a glassy luster.
3. Mica - It is easily identified by its perfect cleavage,
reducing it to thin smooth flakes. Its shine is
responsible for the flashes of light in rocks such as
granite and slate.
4. Augite - It has a glassy luster with streaks of white,
light green, or light brown. It is generally black in
color and has stubby prismatic crystals.
5. Amphibole - It has a glassy luster and an opaque
characteristic. Its crystals are very long and very thin.
6. Olivine - It is known for its distinct olive-green color
and commonly used in the gemstone industry as
peridot. It is a glassy looking and transparent
substance that is almost as hard as quartz.
