“The Importance of Water Cycle”

Can you read class, what is our topic today?

“The Importance of Water Cycle”

Now before we going to discuss our topic
today let me present to you the three
objectives in our topic “The Importance of
Water Cycle”

Can you read what is our objectives?

I. Objectives: At the end of 50-minute

lesson, 80% of the grade VI pupils should be “Yes, teacher”

D. Discussion
Now I have an illustration of a water cycle.
(The teacher will be going to show a
diagram of water cycle.)

Now class, what do think 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.”
Do you know class that water cycle is made
up of 4 process or stages?
“Yes, teacher”
What are those stages?

“Evaporation, transpiration,
condensation, and collection.

Very Good!
Let us understand each stage one by one.
The first stage of a water cycle is
evaporation.

What do think is Evaporation?

Evaporation is a process when the Evaporation is a process when the

sun heats up water in seas, rivers, sun heats up water in seas, rivers,
lakes, ocean and ponds then turns it lakes, ocean and ponds then turns it
into water vapor or steam and rises into water vapor or steam and rises
up into the air/atmosphere. up into the air/atmosphere.

The second stage of the water cycle is

condensation. What do you think is
Condensation?
Condensation as the water vapor “Condensation means that water changes
rises higher into the air /atmosphere, it from a gas (water vapor or steam) to
cools and condenses. Condensation liquid (water droplets) forming the clouds
means that water changes from a gas in the sky.
(water vapor or steam) to liquid (water
droplets) forming the clouds in the
sky.

The third stage of water cycle is

precipitation. What do think is Precipitation?

Precipitation is a water keeps condensing to “Precipitation is the water keeps

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.
condensing to form clouds, but when
there is too much accumulation or
collection of water in these clouds, the
clouds become heavy.”

The last stage is collection. What is a

collection?

Collection is when water go back together

into the different bodies of water, ground, “Collection is when water go back
plants and animals. together into the different bodies of
water, ground, plants and animals”
Now class, do you know where the water
come from?
“Oceans, lakes and rivers”

Very good!
How can we use water at home?
(Possible answer of the students.)
“I used water every-day in taking a bath,
washing , watering the plants,
Very Good! laundering, drinking, cooking and many
more.”
Who can tell, what is the importance of
water cycle in the people, plants, animals
and environment?

Do you understand our topic today class?
(POSSIBLE ANSWER OF THE
STUDENTS.)
“For the people is for drinking.
For the plants is to grow and can produce
food.
For animals is to provide home for
aquatic animals and a freshwater for
survival.
For the environment it constantly
recycles water in lakes, rivers and
oceans.”

E. APPLICATION “Yes, teacher”

Now class, I will divide you into three
groups in this activity. In each group it has a
different activity. I will give 5 minutes to do
your work after that present you’re work in
front. I will rate you’re work through the
rubics

Group 1. Make an illustration of a water

cycle and label the stages
Group 2. Explain each stage of the water
cycle.
Group 3. Give five ways to conserve the
water

F. Generalization
Class, do you understand our topic today?

What have you learned today? “Yes, we do”

“I learned that water cycle is the process

of which water transfer from one place to
another”

How many stages of a water cycle? What

are those? “There are 4 stages in water cycle. It is an
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation
and Collection.”

Now class, what is the important of water? “The important of water is can make our
work fast and has a vital role in which it
can be used in every day
