In Science IV - Water Cycle

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the pupils will be able to:

a. Identify the processes in the water cycle,
b. Discuss the importance of water cycle, and
c. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the water cycle through activities.

II. LEARNING CONTENT: The Importance of the Water Cycle

A. Subject: Science
B. Grade: Grade IV
C. Reference: Science for Active Minds, pages 30-31Teacher’s Guide: S4ES-IVd-4
D. Materials: Power Point Presentation, Illustration of the Water Cycle, Marker, Pictures.
E. Values Integration: Cleanliness, Awareness on the importance of water cycle

III. LEARNING ACTIVITIES

A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Check of Attendance
4. Energizer/Simple Exercise
5. Standard to follow Three (3) Rules:
 When someone is talking, you should listen
 Don’t be afraid to ask questions
 Enjoy

B. Drill

 Play the Water Cycle Game Show a picture and tell the definition and let the pupils
guess the right answer. Provide key vocabulary for them to choose the answer.

C. Key Vocabulary

 Water cycle
 Groundwater
 Evaporation
 Condensation
  Precipitation
 Transpiration
 Infiltration

D. New Lesson:

1. Motivation Ask the following:

 Where does the water come from? (Sources of water such as oceans, lakes, and
rivers)
 How do you use water at home? (For washing things such as hands and clothes, for
cooking, and for drinking).
 Show a picture of the wheel of a bicycle. Ask the pupils what a wheel does on a bike.
(It goes round and round)
 Show the illustration of Water Cycle to the class. What do you think is the illustration
about? (Water Cycle)

2. Presentation

 Tell the pupils that they will be learning about ‘The Importance of the Water Cycle’.
 Explain what water cycle means is. Answer: It is a process that normally changes
from one form to another.
 Point the illustration of the Water Cycle.
 Define key terms: Evaluation, Condensation, Precipitation, Collection, Infiltration,
Transpiration

3. Development of the lesson/Discussion

 Now, let’s focus on the importance of the water cycle.
 Why is the water cycle important?
Answers:
The water cycle continually gives fresh water to all life on the planet: humans, animals and
plants. The water cycle is important to all life on earth for many reasons. All living things
require water, and the water cycle describes the process of how water moves through the
planet

Importance of the Water Cycle

People Plants Animals Environment
For Drinking To Grow Provide home for It constantly
aquatic animals recycles water in
lakes, rivers,
streams, and
oceans.
 Farmers rely on the To produce food Fresh water for It keeps

flowing, which is
water underground.
Water their crops

 Facts: the water on earth consists

97% water is salty-not drinkable
2% is frozen into glaciers or ice caps
1% of the earth’s water is accessible to humans for drinking.

4. Generalization

 How does the Earth never run out of water when it uses it for many things?

Our planet may never run out of water, it’s important to remember that clean fresh
Water is not always available where and when humans need it.

When people start using water faster the rain comes in, we will experience drought and
will kill multiple industries (such as farming) which depend on water supply.

To ensure the availability of water for a living thing, we should conserve or not waste
the water,

5.Application

 Strengthen the concepts developed through the discussion on the measure to

conserve water. Let the pupils use the log below. Accept variety of answers.

Provides sheet of paper about My Learning Log Activity. Give 2-3 minutes for them to think
and write it first on the sheet.
