the water being drifting up by the Sun.

6. Where are the water gone? Into the sky

7. Okay, just as the process of our connection Students listen attentively

water, the earth undergo that cycle.
Today, we are going to study “The Water Cycle”.

(The teacher takes out her Model of the Water The students observe
Cycle and let the students observe for a moment. the Model
The teacher takes her time and let them settle
down to OBSERVE).

EXPLAIN
Sl. TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
No.

1. What do you understand by water cycle? It is the movement of water

2. Yes. Water Cycle is the movement of water

within the Earth and atmosphere.

3. What is Evaporation? It is the heating of water

up into the atmosphere

4. Correct. By the process of this Evaporation, Student listen attentively

the water on Earth is heated up to the
atmosphere in vapour form.

5. But not only that, the evaporation can also be Transpiration

taking place through plants.
(The teacher points to the label Transpiration).

6. Yes. Have you heard of this before? Students respond

7. Transpiration is the process of water movement Students listen attentively

in plants. The water from the soil is absorbed
by the roots of the plants and the water moves
upward to
the leaves. From the leaves, the water is again
moves up to the atmosphere

8. Next process is? Condensation

(The teacher points to the label Condensation)

9. The water vapour in the atmosphere is condense, Clouds

and form?

10. Anyone who can touch and hold clouds?

11. What do you understand by Condensation? No response

12. Condensation is the process where water Student listen attentively

vapor becomes liquid.

RECAPTULATION: The teacher summarize the whole process and give them clear
definitions.

ELABORATE
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

The teacher prepares a worksheet and asks the students Students participate in
to fill up. filling up the worksheet

EVALUATION
1. Draw the Water Cycle and give correct labels.
2. Define the processes that involved in the Water Cycle.
