    EARTH AND LIFE

    SCIENCE
    Quarter 1- Module 1
    Origin and Structure of
    the Earth
    PREPARED BY:

    MS. KIMBERLY JOY C. ASTORGA


    SUBJECT TEACHER
    MODULE 1: ORIGIN AND
    STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH
    Lesson 1: Planet Earth
    Lesson 2: The Subsystems of the Earth
    Lesson 3: Minerals
    PLANET EARTH IS CONSIDERED HABITABLE
    BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING:
    1. It has the right distance from the sun.
    2. It is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic
    field.
    3. It is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere.
    4. It has the right amount of ingredients for life, including
    water and carbon.
    THE FOUR EARTH’S
    SUBSYSTEMS
    1. ATMOSPHERE
    2. BIOSPHERE
    3. GEOSPHERE
    4. HYDROSPHERE

    COMPETENCY:
    Identify common rock-forming minerals using their physical and chemical properties.
    (S11/12ES-la-e-5)

    OBJECTIVES:
    At the end of this lesson, he learners shall be able to:
    1. Describe the characteristics of minerals.
    2. Explain the properties of minerals.
    MINERALS
    Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. There are 3500 known
    minerals in the Earth’s crust.

    We use them in everyday life:


    • Glass (quartz)
    • Lead in Pencils (graphite)
    • Toothpaste ( Flourite)
    • Make up (Talc, mulcovite)
    • Jewelry ( gold, silver, gemstones)
    CHARACTERISTICS OF MINERALS
    1. N L T LA U R Y N G O I R U C C
    NATURALLY
    ___________________________- It is a product of Earth’s natural processes.
    OCCURING
    2. C A I I R O G N

    INORGANIC
    ___________________________- It must be product of Earth’s physical processes.

    3. S O U E N E G O M O H D I L O S
    HOMOGENEOUS SOLID have definite shape and volume.
    ________________________________-

    4. E N I L LAT S Y R C E S R T R U C U T

    CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE
    _______________________________________- atoms are arranged in order of increasing pattern.

    COMPOSITION
    MINERALS
    Minerals are naturally occurring,
    inorganic solid materials with
    crystalline structure due to its specific
    chemical composition.

    PROPERTIES OF MINERALS
    A. COLOR – the most obvious
    property. Mineral’s color may
    change depending on the surface

    B. STREAK- color of mineral in


    powdered form
    C. HARDNESS- minerals D. CLEAVAGE - minerals
    resistance to scratching resistance to and fracture.
    E. CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE OR HABIT-
    a set of faces that have a definite geometric relationship to each other
    F. DIAPHANEITY/Amount of Transparency - ability to allow light to
    pass through it. This is affected by chemical makeup of the mineral sample.
    G. LUSTER- how light is reflected off a surface

    • Glassy – reflects light like a piece of glass does


    • Metallic – reflects light like a piece of metal does
    H. TENACITY- describes the minerals reaction to stress.
    • Brittleness- a mineral turns into powder
    • Malleability- a mineral can be flattened by pounding with a hammer.
    • Ductility- A mineral can be stretched into wire.
    • Flexible but inelastic- Minerals are bent but they remain in the new
    position.
    • Flexible and elastic- Minerals are bent, and they bring back to their
    original position.
    • Sectility- ability of minerals to be sliced by a knife.
    SPECIAL PROPERTIES
    TASTE
    FLOURESCENCE
    MAGNETISM
