Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Science IV

Prepared By: Geraldine J. Manalastas


I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
A. Identify the 3 stages of water cycle.
B. Develop awareness on the proper consumption of water.
C. Show the stages of water cycle through hand gestures or mnemonics.
D. Create a model of water cycle from a sandwich bag.

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Water Cycle


Reference: Earth and Space Science 4
Materials: PowerPoint presentation, video clip, tape, marker, paper, water, sandwich bag, food
coloring (blue), worksheet
Value Integration: Proper conservation of water

III. Learning Procedure


A. Daily Routine
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Classroom Conditioning
4. Checking of Attendance

B. Review
How do we use water in our daily activities?

C. Motivation
The teacher will show a gif of Earth’s model.

What kind of model is in the video?


What colors did you see?
What does brown or green color represent?
What does blue color represent?

Remember that 75% of earth’s surface is filled with water and 25% of the earth is covered with land.

Which covers a wider area of the earth’s surface?

Motive Questions
Do you think the amount of water on earth increase or even decrease since its existence?

Value Integration
Do you turn the faucet off when not in use?
What do we need to do to prevent water shortage?

D. Discussion
Where does the rain come from?
Give me an example where can water be found on earth?

The teacher will show this picture.

Can someone describe to everyone what have you seen in this picture?

This picture is what we called water cycle.

Water cycle is like a recycling program that repeats its process. Water cycle is the process by which
water moves from the place above, on, and below the earth’s surface.

Water cycle has three stages. Do you know what are those?
The students will watch a video about the first stage of water cycle.

What are the things that were used in the video?

I will play again the video and I want you to imagine that the stove represents the sun, the pot
represents the earth, and it has water in it. Observe what will happen.

The students will discuss to everyone what he has observed in the video.

Evaporation occurs when water on the earth such as in seas, ocean, rivers, lakes, ponds is heated by a
sun, it will change from liquid (water) to a gas (smoke or water vapor).

The students will watch video about the second stage of water cycle.

What is the direction of the smoke?


What did you observe in the cover of the pot?
What have you noticed to the smoke gathered from the cover of the pot?

Condensation occurs when water changers from a gas (smoke or water vapor) back into liquid (water)
forming the clouds in the sky.
When will you know if the process is condensation?

The students will watch video for the last stage of water cycle.

What did you observe in the video?


Precipitation happens when water falls back to the earth. Rain, snow and hail are forms of
precipitation.
What are examples of precipitation?

Here is a video summary of the water cycle for you to fully understand the lesson.

Class, remember that once the water has fallen back to the ground, it is heated again by the sun and
the cycle continues. That is why the amount of water in earth’s surface remains the same.

I prepared a mnemonic strategy using hand gestures for you to easily understand and remember the
stages of water cycle. Just repeat after me.

The water cycle: moving hands at fist in a circle motion.


Evaporation: moving hands up like steam rising.
Condensation: moving hands together in the shape of puffy clouds.
Precipitation: moving hands down like rain.

E. Application
1. Guided Practice
Group Activity (2 minutes)
CREATING WATER CYCLE
The students will group into 4 and each group will create a model of water cycle using a
sandwich bag, marker, tape, paper, water, and food color (blue). Each group must follow the
mechanics of the activity being flashed on the board. Once done, the group will present their
work by explaining the differences of each stages of water cycle base on their group’s
observation.

RUBRICS POINTS

PRESENTATION 10 POINTS

CLEANLINESS 10 POINTS

TOTAL 30 POINTS

2. Independent Practice
Direction: Label each step in the water cycle using the words placed above the illustration.
Precipitation Condensation
Cycle Evaporation

F. Generalization
How many stages are there in a water cycle?
What are the three stages of water cycle?

IV. Evaluation
Direction: Identify the cycle stage describe in each sentence. Write the correct answer on the space
before the number. Choose your answer in the box.

Water Cycle Condensation


Precipitation Evaporation

__________________ 1. It is the process wherein the water falls back to earth; it may go in the oceans,
lakes, or rivers.
__________________ 2. The sun heats up water in seas, rivers, lakes and turns it into smoke or water
vapor and rises into the air.
__________________ 3. The water moves from place to place above, on and below the earth surface.
__________________ 4. The clouds get heavy, and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain,
hail or snow.
__________________ 5. The water vapor or smoke in the air gets cold and changes back to liquid into
tiny drops of water forming clouds.

V. Assignment
Direction: Make a collage of a water cycle illustrating its 3 stages.
