Psychomotor: To illustrate the water cycle thru a drawing.
II. Subject matter
a. Topic: Water cycle
b. Materials: pictures, overhead projector, video clip, cartolina and pentel pen
c. Reference: Earth and space Science 4pp. 267-268
d. Value integrated : proper conservation of water
III. Instructional Procedure
Teachers Activity
A.Preliminary Activities
1.Review
The name of activities is “TELL ME who I am”I will describe each type of clouds then you have to
name the type of cloud I am referring to.
1. I am puffy cloud that looks like a puff of cotton. Who am I?
2. I am a cloud that looks lika a feather.Who am I?
3. I indicate fair weather when I scattered in a fair blue sky.Who am I?
4. I am a low lying cloud that covers most of the sky? Who am I?
5. I am a rain cloud.Who am I?
2.Drill :
I prepared an activity for you.
Directions: Encircle the names of bodies of water found in the puzzle.
3.Motivation
Ask:Do you think the amount of water on earth
decrease since its existence?
( The amount of water in earth does not change. It remains the same. )Why ? Today we will find out.

4. Value Integration
-When do you use water?
-Water is very important.
-Do you turn the faucet off when not in use?
-I heard from the weather forecast that there will be long El Nino break for the next coming month.
- What do we need to do to prevent water loss?
B.Introduction
The teacher will challenge the students to think about these questions: Where does the rain
come from? Where do clouds come from?
These elements are part of something called the water cycle. (The teacher will present the large diagram
of a water cycle.
This is a diagram of a water cycle.
Water Cycle
C.Discussion
What 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.
- Water cycle is made up of 4 process or stages such as evaporation, transpiration, condensation,
and collection. Let us understand each stage one by one.
The first stage of a water cycle is evaporation.
Evaporation is a process when the sun heats up water in seas, rivers, lakes, ocean and ponds
then turns it into water vapor or steam and rises up into the air/atmosphere.
(the teacher will show an image of this process)
- Condensation - as the water vapor rises higher into the air /atmosphere, it cools and
condenses. Condensation means that water changes from a gas (water vapor or steam) to
liquid (water droplets) forming the clouds in the sky.
(the teacher will show an image of this process)
Precipitation- The water keeps condensing to 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.
(the teacher will present a video clip
Showing this stage)
The last stage is collection.
This happens when water go back together into the different
bodies of water, ground, plants and animals.
To let you understand fully the steps in water cycle
I prepared a mnemonic strategy using hand gestures for you to
easily remember the different stages of the water cycle.
Evaporation: moving hands up like steam rising
Condensation: moving hands together in the shape of a puffy "cloud”
Precipitation: moving hands down like rain
Collection: form a ring with your arms to form a lake
D.Generalization
How many phases are there in a water cycle? Explain each stage .
E.Application:
Group Activity
Group 1. Make an illustration of a water cycle
Group 2. Sequencing of water cycle stages through numbering
Group 3. Explain each stages of the water cycle.
Independent Practice
Label each step in the water cycle using the words placed beside the illustration.
Condensation
Precipitation
Evaporation
Collection
IV.Assessment
Directions: Identify the cycle phase describe in each sentence.
Write the letter of the correct answer on the space before the number.
a. Evaporation b.Condensation c.Precipitation d..Collection e.water
cycle
____________1. It is the process wherein the water falls back to earth, it may go into the oceans,
lakes or rivers.
____________2. The sun heats up water in seas, rivers, lakes and oceans and turns it into water
vapor and rises up into the air.
____________3. The water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back to liquids into tiny drops of
water forming clouds.
____________4. The water moves from place to place above, on and below the earth surface.
____________ 5. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet
or snow.
V.Assignment:
Make a collage of a water cycle illustrating its four phases.
