today?
How many are absent in the boys? “There is/are _ absent for
How about girls? boys and _ absent for girls
.So there are _ absent today teacher!”

3. Classroom Rules
Before we start our lesson, I want you
to remember the acronym WATER,
stands for:
W- work quietly and diligently
A- ask questions when you need help
T- take notes and participate actively
E- engage with the lesson
R- respect the learning environment

Do you understand?
“Yes, Teacher!”
4. Motivation: (Balloon Popper)
Now lets have a simple activity!. I
have 4 balloons here. Each balloon
contain 1 question and you will pass
 the balloon as i plays the music. Once
the music stops, the student who holds
the balloon will pop and answer the
question. Do you understand?
“Yes Teacher!”

Do you know where water came
from? I will show a picture and all
you have to do is to guess the word
which depicts the picture.

“Very good, everyone! What comes to

your mind? These are the stages of!
Very good, water cycle!”.
“WATER CYCLE”
“Later, I will explain each stage of the
water cycle.”

3. EXPLORE “But before that, I’ll show you a video

3. Condensation
4. Precipitation
“Very Good, let me explain each of
the stages of the water cycle.”

4. EXPLAIN
Have you ever wondered why the
Earth’s water never seems to run out
of supply? Have you wondered where
the rain comes from? Or how are the
clouds formed? Do you have any idea
why?
(One of the students
answers)

What comes to your mind when you

hear the word water cycle?
(One of the students
answers)

Very Good!

Well, this is what the water cycle is all

about.

Water Cycle, also known as the

hydrologic cycle, describes the
continuous movement of water on,
above, and below Earth's surface. It
involves water changing between
liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor)
forms. Key processes include
evaporation, condensation,
precipitation, and runoff.

When we say continuous, it means it

repeats over and over again. That’s
why the water supply never runs out;
it is recycled. How does this cycle
work?

Let me show you a diagram of the

water cycle.

As you can see on the diagram, there

are 4 main stages of the water cycle :

•EVAPORATION

• CONDENSATION

• PRECIPITATION

•COLLECTION

Before anything else, what is the

difference between Evaporation,
condensation, precipitation, and
( One of the Students'
collection? answers)

Very Good!

Let us start with stage 1, which is the

process of evaporation.

Stage 1: Evaporation

Evaporation is the process by which

liquid changes to vapor form.
.
Evaporation turns the water that is on
the surface of oceans, rivers, & lakes
into water vapor using energy from
the sun.

An example is drying wet clothes.

When a person leaves their wet

clothes to air dry, the water from the
clothes evaporates slowly as the
temperature around the clothes
changes. This evaporation is a form of
water vapor. The water becomes
absorbed in the air, which leaves the
clothes dry.

Do you understand class? (Yes, Ma’am)

Stage 2: Transpiration

Transpiration is the process by

which water evaporates from plants.

When there is a loss of water from

plants in the form of water vapour, it
is called? (One of the students'
answers)
Okay! That’s good!

(One of the students'

As the water vapour becomes liquid, answers)
what is that process?

That’s right! Its condensation

Stage 3: Condensation

Condensation is the process by

which water vapor in the air is
changed into liquid water.

The water vapor rises in the

atmosphere and cools, forming tiny
water droplets by a process called
condensation.

Those water droplets make up

clouds.
(One of the students'
What is the next step after answers)
Condensation?

That’s Right! Its “Precipitation”

Stage 4: Precipitation

Those water droplets that

CONDENSE make up clouds. If
those tiny water droplets combine,
they grow larger and eventually
become too heavy to stay in the air.
Then they fall to the ground as rain,
snow, and other types of
precipitation.

When the clouds become heavy and

cannot hold water droplets anymore,
they fall back to the earth in the form
of rain, snow, or hail. This process is
called precipitation.
(Yes, Ma'am)
Understand, Class.

Precipitation comes in several forms

It includes snow, rain or hail

“Snow”

“RAIN”
“HAIL”

Rain is water in liquid form.

Snow is water vapor that changes

directly from a gas to a solid – it does
not go through a liquid phase. Snow
forms as tiny crystals. Depending on
the temperature at which it forms, it
may look like a star, a plate, or a
needle.

Again, precipitation is when the

clouds start to get heavy, they cannot
hold the droplets anymore, and fall on
Earth as rain, snow, or hail. (Yes, Ma’am)

Understand, class?

Hail, on the other hand, is water that

gets caught in strong upward-moving
winds. The water will freeze, then
start to fall, with more water attaching
to the hailstone.
Then, if water falls on Earth, some of
the water seeps into the ground. This
water is available to us in the form of
groundwater.

Is it a clear class? (Yes maam)

What process happens next?

(One of the students'
answers)

That’s Right! Its Run-off

Very Good!

After the precipitation, the next stage

would be the Run-off.

Stage 5: Runoff

Run off- the variety of ways in

which water moves across the land.

As it flows, the water may seep into

the ground, evaporate into the air,
become stored in lakes or reservoirs,
or be extracted for agricultural or
other human uses.

(Yes, Maam)
Understand, Class?

Now, let's proceed to the next step

The 6th stage of the water cycle and
that is Aaccumulation.

Stage 6: Accumulation
The process in which water pools in
large bodies (like oceans, seas, and
lakes). Most of the water on Earth is
in the oceans. Accumulation is the
part of the water cycle in which
water gathers in large quantities such
as rivers, lakes, oceans, glaciers, ice
caps and aquifer.

Now, let us proceed to the next stage

and that would be Infiltration.`
Stage 7: Infiltration
Some of the precipitation seeps into
the ground and becomes a part of the
groundwater.
Infiltration is the process by which
runoff soaks into the ground.
When the water moves into the (One of the students'
answers)
ground from the surface, and
begins to soak into the soil and
rock layers underneath. is that
process called?

The last stage in the water cycle is the

Oceans, lakes, rivers, and seas collect
the water that has fallen through the
process of collection. Then, the water
evaporates into the sky again, and the
cycle continues. So, this process
(Yes, Ma'am)
repeats over and over again. That is
why we never run out of supply of
water.

(One of the students'

Is it clear? answers)

Do you think the water cycle is

important? How so?

Very Good!

The water cycle is indeed important

because it is the continuous process
of water evaporating from the
Earth's surface, condensing into
clouds, and then returning to the
Earth as precipitation. This cycle
plays a crucial role in maintaining
the Earth's water supply, distributing
water across different regions, and
regulating the planet's temperature
and climate.
(One of the students
Water cycle is important. As what I
have mentioned earlier, without water answer)
cycle, we would run out of water.

And what would happen if we run out

of water?

Very Good!

Well, come to think of it, if we run out

of water,
 There will be no water for drinking,
for bathing for cooking, for washing
and etc. And even the plants cannot
survive without water.

5. ELABORATE “Now that you have learned all about

the water cycle, go to your respective
groups quietly, and each group will do
the different task.”

“Each leader will pick an envelope

containing different tasks and a
number for the order of presentation”.

“Each of the 4 groups will be named

after the kind of envelope they
choose”
