TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

A. PREPARATION
1. Prayer
Let us all stand for the prayer. Regie, lead the
prayer.
Regie: Angel of God my guardian dear to whom
God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my

Now, before we proceed who among you here

can still remember our classroom rules?
Yes, Esterlita.
Esterlita: Sit properly and listen carefully, Teacher.

That’s right, Esterlita!

Another one? Yes, Norilyn. Norilyn: Raise your right if you wish to talk or want
to answer, Teacher!

Value Integration
Jay: I use water every-day in taking a bath, washing,
When do you use water? watering the plants, laundering, drinking, cooking
and many more in my daily task.

Do you turn the faucet off when not in use? Regie: Yes, Teacher.

What do you think is the importance of water in Norilyn:

our daily lives?

Very good! We should off the faucet when it was

not used.
We cannot survive without water. Water is very
important in our daily lives. So, we must
conserve water.
Regie: About water, Teacher.
C. PRESENTATION
Based on our activity what do you think will be
our lesson for today?
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able
Yes, our lesson for today has something to do to:
with water. A. Identify the 4 phases of water cycle;
But before we proceed let us read first our B. Develop awareness on the proper consumption of
objectives: water; and
C. Show the stages of water cycle through hand
gestures/mnemonics.

Regie: A water cycle is the process by which water

D. DISCUSSION moves from place to place above, on, and below the
earth surface.
What is a water cycle? Please read, Regie.

Water cycle is made up of 4 process or stages

such as evaporation, transpiration, condensation,
and collection.
This is how the water cycle looks like:

Esterlita: Evaporation is a process when the sun heats

Let us understand each stage one by one. The up water in seas, rivers, lakes, ocean and ponds then
first stage of a water cycle is evaporation. Please turns it into water vapor or steam and rises up into

This is the evaporation process looks like:

Shania: Condensation as the water vapor rises higher

into the air /atmosphere, it cools and condenses.
The second stage of the water cycle is Condensation means that water changes from a gas

longer hold this much amount. Rain is a form of
precipitation.

This is how precipitation looks like in water

cycle:

Norilyn: Collection happens when water go back

together into the different bodies of water, ground,
plants and animals.

The last stage is collection. Please read, Norilyn.

This is collection in water cycle looks like.

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

E. APPLICATION

Group activity
I will group you into two groups.

Group 1. Make an illustration of a water cycle.

Group 2. Sequencing of water cycle stages

through numbering. Explain each stage of the
water cycle.

Setting of standards
But before we start the activity, what are the rules
that we must follow during our group activity?
Yes, Regie. Regie: Cooperate to the group, Teacher.

Yes, we should cooperate to the group. What Norilyn: Do not disturb the other groups.
else?

Very good, Norilyn. We should not disturb the

other group.

And always remember to respect each other’s All: Yes, Teacher.

idea. Do you understand class?

Okay, you have five minutes to do your assigned Group 1:

task. You may start.
 Group 2:
Stage 1: evaporation
Stage 2: condensation
Stage 3: precipitation
Stage 4: collection

F. GENERALIZATION
Now class let us have a short review on our
lesson a while ago. We discuss about the water
Regie: Evaporation, condensation, precipitation and
cycle. So, what are the four phases in water
collection.
cycle?

That’s right, Regie. The four stages of water

cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation
Jay: Evaporation is a process when the sun heats up
and collection.
What happens in the evaporation process? water in seas, rivers, lakes, ocean and ponds then
turns it into water vapor or steam and rises up into
the air/atmosphere.

Very good, Jay! Let us give Jay a clap!

Shania: Condensation as the water vapor rises higher
What happens in the condensation process?
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.

Rollie: Precipitation- The water keeps condensing to

That’s correct! Let’s give Shania 3 claps!
form clouds, but when there is too much
Next, what happens in precipitation process?
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.

Norilyn: Collection happens when water go back

Brilliant answer! Let’s give Rollie 3 claps!
Lastly, what happens in collection process? together into the different bodies of water, ground,
plants and animals.

That’s right, Norilyn! Let’s give Norilyn 3 claps!

IV. EVALUATION

Directions: Identify the cycle phase describe in

each sentence. Write the letter of the correct
answer on the space before the number.

a. Water cycle
b. Evaporation
c. Condensation
d. Precipitation
e. Collection
____________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 Answers:
or snow. 1. Collections
2. Evaporation
3. Condensation
4. Water cycle
5. Precipitation
