Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science 4 Self-Learning Module 7 - Operationally Define and

Discuss the Water Cycle!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them
to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the Learner:

Welcome to the Science 4 Self-Learning Module on Operationally Defining

and Discussing the Water Cycle!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an
active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

application of the lesson.

Valuing - This part integrates a desirable moral value in the

lesson.

Posttest – This measures how much you have learned from the
entire module.

 L E S S ON
Water is the most essential and abundant liquid on earth.
Its abundance states that it is always in an endless movement
and is constantly moving over period of time. This movement is
called Water Cycle, also known as hydrological cycle in which it
needs energy from the sun and Earth’s gravity to keep moving on
its own cycle. Hence, we can operationally define Water cycle as
continuously circulation of water between land, bodies of water,
and the atmosphere through different components such as
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
Let us define important terms as components of water cycle.
Evaporation– occurs when the bodies of
water evaporates because of the heat
coming from the sun which then turn into
water vapour and then rises up and stay in
the atmosphere through earth’s gravity. Not
only that, moist or sweat coming from
human, soil, animals, and plants also
evaporates and rises up in the atmosphere
through the process of Transpiration.
Condensation – occurs when the water
vapour cools and condenses in the
atmosphere until it becomes droplets of
water which form into clouds.
Precipitation – occurs when the clouds
become saturated which make it looks
heavy and dark in the sky. This time, it is
now ready to fall back into the land and
bodies of water in the form of rain, sleet,
and snow.
Collection – occurs as the rain, sleet, and
snow fall back and run into the land and
other bodies of water such lake, rivers, and
oceans where the cycle starts all over again.
 ACTIVITIES

Activity 1: Connection
Direction: Match each word with each definition by writing the
letter of the correct answer.
A B

___1. Evaporation a. water vapour cools and then

___2. Condensation
___3. Precipitation
___4. Collection
___5. Water Cycle
forms a cloud.
b. fall down on earth in the form
of rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
c. bodies of water is heated by the
sun and then evaporate.
d. rain, snow, sleet, and hail will
go back to underground.
e. a continues circulation of water
between land, air, and bodies
of water.

Activity 2: Retelling Time!

Direction: Fill in the blanks to complete the story about water
cycle.

First, I noticed that the bodies of water are evaporating

including sweat coming from plants, animals, and human as the
1.__________ is heating up the earth. Second, the evaporated
water forms gaseous water and rise up in the atmosphere and
then form a 2.__________ up in the sky. Third, the water vapour
in in the sky in the form of clouds started to cools down,
condensed, and then forms 3. __________ of water. Finally, this
droplet of water becomes saturated that is why the clouds look
dark and heavy which make it ready to 4.__________ down on
earth in the form of rain, sleet, hail, and snow and once again
run down on bodies of water and land. Then, the 5.____________
starts all over again.
Activity 2: My Design!
Direction: Based on activity number 2, I want to see
your creativity by illustrating the Water Cycle below.

WRAP–UP

Direction: Fill in the blank in order operationally define Water

to operationally define water cycle.

1.____________________ is a continuous circulation of water

between land, bodies of water, and the atmosphere through

different components such as 2. ______________, 3._____________,

4._______________, and 5._______________.

 VALUING

Direction: Encircle the number that tells about Water Cycle.

Write TRUE or FALSE

1. Plants wouldn’t grow without precipitation.

2. The rain will stay only in the surface water.
3. The water still evaporates without sun’s heat.
4. The fog that we see in the sky is also a form of
condensation.
5. Water Cycle will discontinue when there is no heat
coming from the sun.
