I. Objective
A. Learning Competencies:
The learners should be able to:
1. S5FEIVa-1: describe how rocks turn into soil
2. S5FEIVb-2: investigate extent of soil erosion in the community and its effects on
living things and the environment
3. S5FEIVc-3: communicate the data collected from the investigation on soil erosion
B. Topic:
Processes that Shape Earth’s Surface
1. Weathering and Soil Erosion
C. Objectives:
a. The learners will identify at least 5 causes of weathering and agents of soil erosion.
b. The learners will be able to perform the activities involving the breaking down of
rocks that turn into soil.
c. The learners will be able to understand on how to reduce the occurrence of weathering
and soil erosion especially man-made causes.
II. Procedure
A. Activity
1. Preliminary Activities
* Prayer
“Our Father”
* Greetings
* Energizer
* Checking of Attendance
2. Developmental Activities
* Drill
On this activity, the students are given the opportunity to use their prior knowledge
and skills from their personal experiences on any ideas about weathering and soil
erosion.
As an introduction to the new lesson, the teacher will conduct an video presentation
about weathering and soil erosion, and other documentaries about this phenomena to
show the students the clear example on what weathering and soil erosion is all about,
and its causes and effect to our environment.
After the students watch the video presented, the teacher will then ask the students on
what is their observations and ideas on what the weathering and soil erosion is.
The teacher can also conduct an activity in which the students are grouped into 5
groups. The students will learn more as they perform the activity about weathering and
soil erosion.
Based on the video presentation the students watched, the students will then discuss in
the group what are their ideas and opinions on how soil erosion occurs, and what are
the different causes of this things to occur whether it is natural or man-made causes.
B. Analysis
The answers that the students identified is used to present, and for them to be
prepared for the new lesson which is the process that shapes the earth’s surface,
weathering and soil erosion.
The teacher may ask them how do they identify their answers based on the activity
conducted? or what are the other basis of their provided answers. These questions is for
the teacher to see, if the students are ready for the new lesson going to be presented.
C. Abstraction
Weathering refers to the group of destructive forces that change the physical or
chemical character of rock near the earth’s surface. Weathering is divided into two
processes known as the mechanical weathering and chemical weathering.
Mechanical weathering, also known as physical weathering is the breaking down of
rocks into smaller pieces. The change in the rock is physical with little or no chemical
change. Examples of mechanical weathering include frost action, abrasion and pressure
release.
Chemical Weathering is the decomposition of rock from exposure to water and
atmospheric gases like carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor. As rock is decomposed
by these agents, new chemical compounds form. Examples of chemical weathering
include rust, acid breakdown, and solution weathering.
Erosion is the picking up or physical removal of rock particles by an agent such as
streams, glaciers, wind, water, and ice. Weathering helps break down a solid rock into
loose particles that are easily eroded. Most eroded particles are least partially weathered,
but rock can be eroded before it has weathered at all. A stream can erode weathered or
unweathered rock fragment
Lichens or tiny plantlike living things, grow on the outsides of the rocks. They slowly
break down rock to get nutrients.
Temperature changes, wind, and water also slowly break the rock apart. Small plants can
grow in the cracks. Plant roots continue to break the rock apart.
Wind and water move bits of weathered rocks to new places. Later, the bits are part of the
well-developed soil.
D. Application
After the teacher discusses the lesson, follow the discussion with a short quiz about the
lesson weathering and soil erosion.
The students will be answer the quiz individually, and this quiz will be written in a 1/2
crosswise paper.
1. How does natural process break down rocks into soil? (3-5 sentences only)
2. Give three natural forces that breakdown rocks.
3. How does water cause the breakdown of rocks in nature? (3-5 sentences only)
4. Give three agents of erosion.
5. Differentiate mechanical and chemical weathering. (3-5 sentences only)
