Good job Class! Give yourself a very good clap.
The pupils will find the correct names

of bodies of water
2. Review
Class, What was our lesson yesterday?
Our lesson yesterday was

about the different types of clouds
Very good! If you really understood our lesson

yesterday I prepared an activity for you
The name of this activity is TELL ME Who I am
I will describe each type of cloud then you have to name
the type of cloud I am referring to. Do you understand?
Yes we do

I am a puffy cloud that looks like a puff of cotton. Who I am?

I am a cloud that looks like a feather. Who I am?
I indicate fair weather when I scattered in a fair blue sky. Who I am?
I am a low cloud that covers most of the sky. Who I am?
I am a rain cloud. Who I am?
Excellent! Clap your hands for those who answered.
B. Developmental Activity
1. Motivation
The teacher will show the globe and
will explain the following to the class.
75% of the earth surface is filled with water and 25% of
the earth is covered with land. Therefore, water covers a
wider area of the earth surface than land.
Motive question
Do you think the amount of water on earth
decrease since its existence?
Who says no? and who says yes?
Answer may vary
The amount of water in earth does not change.
It remains the same. Why ? Today we will find out
2. Value Integration
When do you use water?
daily task.
We cannot survive without water
Water is very important.
Do you turn the faucet off when not in use?
I heard from the weather forecast that there will be
long El Nino break for the next coming month.
What do we need to do to prevent water
I use water every-day in taking a bath,

washing , watering the plants,
laundering, drinking, cooking
and many more in my
Answer may vary
shortage?
Very good. We need to use water properly.
we need to use water properly
3. Presentation
The teacher will challenge the students to think about
these questions: Where does the rain come from?
Where do clouds come from?
These elements are part of something called the water cycle.
(The teacher will present the large diagram of a water cycle)
Water Cycle
This is a diagram of a water cycle.

4. Discussion
What is a water cycle? A water cycle is the process by
which water moves from place to place above, on,
and below the earth surface.
-
Water cycle is made up of 4 process or stages such as

evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and collection.
Let us understand each stage one by one.
The first stage of a water cycle is evaporation.
Evaporation is a process when the sun heats up
water in seas, rivers, lakes, ocean and ponds then
turns it into water vapor or steam and rises up into the
air/atmosphere.
(the teacher will show an image of this process)
The second stage of the water cycle is condensation
Condensation - as the water vapor rises higher into

the air /atmosphere, it cools and condenses.
Condensation means that water changes from a gas
(water vapor or steam) to liquid (water droplets)
forming the clouds in the sky.
(the teacher will show an image of this process)
The third stage of water cycle is precipitation
Precipitation- The water keeps condensing to form
clouds, but when there is too much accumulation or
collection of water in these clouds, the clouds become

heavy. This means the air can no longer hold this much
amount. Rain is a form of precipitation.
(the teacher will present a video clip
Showing this stage)
The last stage is collection.
This happens when water go back together into the different
bodies of water, ground, plants and animals.
To let you understand fully the steps in water cycle
I prepared a mnemonic strategy using hand gestures for you
to easily remember the different stages of the water cycle.
Evaporation: moving hands up like steam rising
Condensation: moving hands together in the shape of a puffy "cloud
Precipitation: moving hands down like rain
Collection: form a ring with your arms to form a lake
5. Generalization
Do you understand our lesson?
Yes we do
What have you learned today?
I learned that water cycle is the process

of which water transfer from
to another
one place
How many phases are there in a water cycle?
What are those stages?
Explain each stage

rivers,
into water
up into the
There are four phases in a water cycle

The stages of water cycle are evaporation
condensation, precipitation, and
collection
evaporation is the process in which
the sun heats up water in seas,
lakes, and ocean and turns it
vapor or steam and rises
air/atmosphere
Condensation means that water changes
from a gas(water vapor or steam) to
liquid (water droplets) forming the
clouds in the sky.
Precipitation is the process formed when
get big and heavy with water, it falls
back to earth in a form of rain, hail,
snow and sleet
Collection is the stage of a water cycle

when a water turned back to the bodies
of water or in the ground.
Very good class !
6. Application
1. Guided Practice
Group Activity
I will group you into three.
Group 1. Make an illustration of a water cycle
Group 2. Sequencing of water cycle stages through numbering
Group 3. Explain each stages of the water cycle.
2. Independent Practice
Label each step in the water cycle using the words placed above the illustration.
Condensation

____________1. It is the process wherein the water falls back to earth, it may go into the oceans,
lakes or rivers.
____________2. The sun heats up water in seas, rivers, lakes and oceans and turns it into water
vapor and rises up into the air.
____________3. The water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back to liquids into tiny drops of
water forming clouds.
____________4. The water moves from place to place above, on and below the earth surface.
____________ 5. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or
snow.
