    Warmer: Build the cat

  • Begin the lesson a warmer game where students going to guess letters

Briefly introduce the topic Water cycle 

Task

  3. What is evaporation?
  4. What is condensation?
  5. What are clouds made of?
  6. What is precipitation?

Evaluation

Learning Outcome Excellent Good Poor
1. Identify the four stages of the water cycle. Correctly identifies all 4 stages. Identifies 2–3 stages correctly. Identifies 0–1 stage correctly.
2. Explain how water moves through the stages. Clearly explains all stages in the correct order using simple words. Explains most stages but needs some help. Has difficulty explaining the stages or their order.
3. Draw and label the water cycle. Draws a clear diagram and correctly labels all 4 stages. Draws the cycle and labels 2–3 stages correctly. Drawing is incomplete and labels are mostly incorrect or missing.

Conclusion

At the end of the lesson:

 Discussion (discuss as a class)

  • the teacher will discuss the water cycle with the students. 
  • Students will share what they have learned about evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. 
  • The teacher will ask simple questions to check their understanding and correct any misunderstandings. 
  • Students will also explain how water moves from one stage to another
  • Praise students for their great effort and participation
  • Sing a song to end a lesson with (I tamwarake n te nii)
