Summary:
 Uses of Freshwater
 Freshwater is used for cleaning, washing, bathing, preparing food and other
household uses. Freshwater sustains plants and animal life.
 Uses of seawater
 Seawater is the habitat of aquatic plants and animals. The oceans, seas, rivers,
lakes and ponds are habitats of most aquatic plants and animals. These plants and
animals are used mainly for food and medicine.
….After discussion, ask the following questions:
1. What are our daily activities that make use of water?
Possible answers: taking a bath, washing dishes, washing clothes, watering plants, etc.
2. Do you think we can live without water? Yes/no? Why?
Answer: NO, because almost all our daily activities need water.
3. What will happen if we ran out of water?
Answer: We can’t perform our activities.
4. What else will be affected if there is no water?
Possible Answers: Farm plants and Animals
5. How should we use water?
Possible Answers: Wisely and Properly
6. How will you encourage others to conserve water especially in school?
Possible Answer: not to waste water. Use only what is needed.
Note: let the learners express their thought/s as they answers the questions above.

D. Elaboration
Let us always bear in mind the following:
 Water is a renewable resource because of water cycle. But a lot of places in the
world and in our country do not have enough water because there are two
problems with water: (1.) amount of distribution and (2) quality or safety.
 There are two important sources of water supply; (1.) Surface water and (2.)
Ground water.
 Oceans, lakes, seas, streams, rivers, waterfalls, dams and springs are sources of
water.
 Oceans, lakes and seas are the sources of food to eat.
 Dams and waterfalls are the sources of electricity.
 Springs are therapeutic due to its warm temperature coming from underground.
 Dams and rivers are sources of potable water. (Potable- suitable for drinking)
 Let us do our best in conserving water. Le t us use water wisely and properly. If
we do not conserve water, we might be faced with a big problem. Bear in mind
that water is an important resource. Let us prevent making water scarcity and
pollution as major problem of the world in the near future.

This time let’s have an activity…entitled “Act me out” I will let you pick an
object inside this box, think a possible thing you can do with this object using
water. You have to act it out. No repetition of actions. Be creative an enjoy!...
