A Detailed Lesson Plan in SCIENCE 3

I. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:


a. Describe that the water cycle includes appropriate vocabulary: evaporation, transpiration, condensation,
precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, groundwater, and absorption.
b. Describe the movement of water within the water cycle.
c. Identify and explain the three states of water and how water transitions between them.

II. SUBJECT MATTER A. Topic: State of the Matter

B. Reference: K-12 Science3 Teacher’s Guide


Page 25-27

C. Instructional Materials: Power point


presentation

III. PROCEDURES TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

A. PRELIMINARY A. Daily Prayer


ACTIVITIES B. Greeting the class
C. Checking the attendance
D. Passing the Assignment
A. Review
B. DEVELOPING ACTIVITIES Who can remember what was our lesson last meeting? Yes, very good, it is all
about the uses of common materials found at home and in school.

B. Motivation
Here is a little song to help us remember the water cycle. Everyone please
stand up.

The water cycle boogie goes up and down.

The water cycle boogie goes round and round


Precipitation, evaporation, condensation

“We are going to play a guessing game. I am going to


C. ACTIVITY give you three hints then I would like you to guess what we
are going to learn about today.

I am clear
I can be recycled
You can drink me
Raise your hand if you can tell me what we are going to learn about.

D. ANALYSIS 1. What day did it rain the most?

2. If we had placed rain gauges in the different parts of Houston would all of
our data have been the same?

3. If we had placed rain gauges in different parts of the state would all of our
data have been the same?

E. ABSTRACTION
There are many uses for water. Can someone tell me one thing we use water
for? (Call on 2 -3 students – answers will vary including – drink, bathe and
cook)

The water we drink today has been around for as long as the earth! This is
called the water cycle. Without it, nothing would grow and we would not
survive.

4 main stages in the water cycle


1. Evaporation happens when warmth from the
sun causes water from the sea, lakes and
rivers to rise into the air and turn to vapour,
which then merge together to form clouds.
2. Condensation happens when water vapour
turns back into liquid, and forms clouds in
the sky.
3. Precipitation is when water (which could be
rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in
the sky.
4. Run off happens when much of this water
flows into lakes and

Differentiation strategies to meet diverse learner needs:


F. APPLICATION
Independent Practice Differentiation

Group 1: Will work with the teacher in filling our a water cycle (review and
reteach)

Group 2: At the top of the worksheet there is a matching section. The students
need to draw a line from the word (precipitation, evaporation, and
condensation) to the definition. Once they finish the top they need to put the
words in the correct places on the water cycle picture at the bottom.

Group 3: Create a water cycle poster with poster board and markers.

Group 4: Act out the water cycle play which will be performed to the class on
Friday.

IV. EVALUATION:

What causes the rain to fall in different forms?

Where are all the places this water has been? (Show a glass of water)

How did the water get into the sky?

Why is it called a cycle? What other cycles are you familiar with?

Why is it important that water travels through a cycle?


V. ASSIGNMENT
Class you will read about nitrogen cycle. In preparation for our topic tomorrow.

VI. REMARKS
Out of 45 students 43 or 96% got the perfect score.

VII. REFLECTION
Video presentations as a springboard to teaching are likewise effective. Students absorb it faster if they
are looking at a video because most of the students these days are bodily kinesthetic and visual learners.
