(The teacher will play a video clip about the role of sun in the water cycle)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu8X2TP6weU&t=77s

(The teacher will ask using diorama)

Ask:
*Do you think the water come from many sources? -yes
*What are the bodies of water? Can you give me one? -lake,sea,pond
*What do call to this thing that I’m holding? -diorama of water
cycle
*What are the 3 processes of water cycle?
-evaporation
-condensation
-precipitation

*Who do you think is the primary source of heath on earth? -sun

*Where should you place your clothes and beddings after you washed them? -under the heat of sun

*Do you think sun plays a major role in the processes of water cycle? -yes

*What do you think will happen when the sun strike from the bodies of -the water will become
water? hot/evaporate

*What are the 2 processes of evaporation ? -transpiration

-respiration

*What will happen when the sun strike on the plant that has a particles/ water -it will evaporate
drop?
-they’re sweating
*How about the humans and animals ,what did you noticed?

-the liquid water turn

*Again,when the bodies of water,plants and animals evaporate,what do you into gas(water vapor)
think will happen now?
-no, because
*Do you think evaporation will work without the heat of sun? Why? evaporation will not
work without the heat
of sun under the
bodies of water,water
particles of plants and
sweat of
human/animals.
*Now after evaporating, where do you think the water vapor will go ?
-it will go to the
atmosphere / sky.

*What do you called on this process? -condensation

*Where do you think clouds came from? -from the water drops
that evaporate

*Do you think the clouds will form without the first process?Why? -no,because in order to
create clouds in the
atmosphere or sky it
need the evaporation
from the bodies of
water ,sweats from
human and animals .

*What will happen when the water vapor (liquid) inside the clouds become -rain/snow
so heavy?

*What do you call on this last process?

-precipitation

*Do you think precipitation will work without the two processes? Why?
-no because in order to
rain it needs the
evaporation of water
and formation of
clouds during the
process of
condensation

*When water falls back, where it will land? -bodies of water,

mountain,
underground water

*Do you think the water cycle will work without the heat of sun? Why? -No, because the sun is
the reason why the
water cycle works.

Generalization

*Did you understand our lesson for today? -yes

*What are the 3 processes involved in water cycle? -evaporation

-condensation
-precipitation

*How about the two processes of evaporation? -respiration

-transpiration

*Do you think the sun is important in the processes of water cycle? -yes

*What is the role of sun in the processes of water cycle? -the sun plays a major
role in the water cycle
because it is the main
source of heat on
earth.

*Who is the most important role in your life? Why? (Students will answer
based on their own
perception.)

(The teacher will ask the pupils to draw and describe one by one the
processes of water cycle).

Remember :
The water cycle is powered by heat energy from the sun
When water at the ocean surface is heated by the sun it gains energy
With enough energy the molecules of liquid Water changes into water vapor
and move into the air.

c.the sun creates respiration for the water cycle to begin.
d.the sun provide the heat of energy on earth to make the processes of water
cycle works.
