Lesson Guide in Earth and Life Science I. Objectives

This lesson guide outlines how to teach students about minerals, rocks, and their classification. Students will observe rock samples, classify them as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic based on their properties. They will also read about the formation of rocks and write summaries. The lesson aims to help students understand the distinguishing features of different rock types and their classification schemes. Students will be assessed on their ability to classify rocks and identify their key characteristics.
