7 E’s Lesson Plan

Water in the Environment

Learning objectives:
• Describe the processes in the water cycle

ELICIT
In most cases you will start with the “Elicit”. Here
you can find out what the students know by
eliciting responses from them.

Elicit
What are the
sources of water
on Earth?
 Engagement
The next stage is the “Engage” stage. This
can come before or after the elicit stage. In
this stage you want to engage interest and
curiosity, raise “The BIG questions” and
provide the “HOOK” for why the students
want to learn.

you, their teacher to explore.
the Activities:
- Divide the class into 5 groups
- use the resources available to create an experiment

• What you need?
-Glass -Ice cubes -Water

• What to do?

1. What happened to the ice cubes?

2. What have you observed outside the glass?
3. Where did the water come from?

Explain
During this stage I would use what students had
discovered in the explore stage to help them build
a concept.
Explain

1.How will you relate the activity that you had to

the water cycle?
2.Why water turns to water vapor?
- The water when heated by the sun absorbed
the
heat, then the water evaporates in a form of
 a
gas or water vapor.
3.What is this process called?
- Evaporation
4.Describe the role of the sun in the water cycle?
- The sun heats the water on earth causing it
to evaporate. The warm air rises and
expands into the atmosphere.

3 = excellent 2 = good 1 = satisfactory

Elaborate
Students may work independently during this stage
to demonstrate learning.

How water cycle form?

 Answer:
The water cycle is the continuous movement of water all
around the Earth. The water cycle is like a big circle and
doesn’t really have a starting point. There are 4 main
stages involved in water cycle i.e. evaporation,
condensation, precipitation and runoff. So, how does this
cycle works? When the sun shines, the water from the

In this stage you are encouraging the students to apply or
extend the concepts and skills in new situations.
