THE WATER ON THE EARTH

Activity 1. Look at the words in the word cloud


Match the words you saw in the word cloud with these pictures:

IMAGE WORDS IMAGE WORDS


Activity 2. Read the following text and complete the chart below

States of water

Water can exist in three different states: solid, liquid or gaseous.Most of the water on Earth is in a liquid state. Water also exists in other states.

- Ice, snow and hail are water in a solid state.- The water we drink is liquid water. The water in rivers, seas, oceans or lakes is liquid water too. Clouds are made up of tiny drops of water.- Water vapour is water in a gaseous state. It forms when liquid water evaporates or boils.

Vocabulary:

Ice: frozen waterHail: frozen rainSnow: water in a solid stateTiny: smallTo boil: heating water up to 100 ºC

Activity 11. Look at the pictures and read the text about the Water Cycle

THE WATER CYCLE

The water cycle is the constant circulation of water between the sea, atmosphere and land.

This process has four basic phases:

1. The Sun heats the liquid water in oceans, rivers, lakes ... The water evaporates and changes its state: from liquid water to water vapour. (Evaporation)

ATMOSPHERE

LAND SEA

ATMOSPHERE

SUN

Water vapour

Liquid water SEA LAND


2. Water vapour rises and condenses. Condensation changes water vapour into water drops. These water drops form clouds.

3. Water falls from clouds in liquid form as rain or in solid form as snow or hail.

SEA

LAND

Water drops Clouds

Rain

Snow


4. Water flows over the land and is used by plants or becomes groundwater. Some water fills rivers, lakes, seas, oceans ...

When water from oceans, rivers and lakes evaporates, the cycle begins again.

Vocabulary:

Land: groundTo heat: to warm, to increase in temperatureTo rise: to move upTo fall: to move down. Opposite of riseHail: frozen rainTo flow over: to move, to go alongTo fill: to make or become full

Snow

Groundwater River

Lake

Activity 12. Listen to the following sentences and sayif they are true or false. Then, work in pairs and checkyour answers with your classmates

Student A: What do you think about question one? Do you think it is true or false? Student B: I think it’s true/false because ........

Student A: What do you think about question one? Do you think it is true or false? Student B: I am not sure if it’s / I am sure it’s true/false

Student A: I agree, number one is true/false Student B: I disagree, number one isn’t true/ false because ....

Activity 13. Read activity 11 again and write four sentences about the water cycle. Two of them must be true and two must be false. Then, exchange your sentences with a partner and ask him/her to say which of the sentences are true or false. He/she must correct and rewrite the false sentences.

Student A: Do you know which sentences are true or false? Two of them are true and two of them are false. Student B: I think numbers ___ and ___ are false. The correct sentences would be: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Activity 14. Cut out the following pieces of the weather cycle chart and put the sentences and pictures in the correct order. Then, label the images, stick them on a big piece of paper and make a poster

Water vapour rises and condenses. Condensation changes water vapour into water drops. These water drops form clouds.

Water falls from clouds in liquid form as rain or in solid form as snow or hail.

Water flows over the land and is used by plants or becomes groundwater. Some water fills rivers, lakes, seas, oceans... When water from oceans, rivers and lakes evaporates, the cycle begins again.

The Sun heats the liquid water in oceans, rivers, lakes ... The water evaporates and changes its state: from liquid water to water vapour.

Activity 15. Match the parts sides of the sentences.

Then, put your sentences with your classmate’s sentences and complete the text that explains the water cycle. Explain the water cycle to the rest of your classmates using the poster that you made in activity 11.

STUDENT A

Activity 16. Read another text about the water cycle.

Now you are the teacher. Write the text again, leaving some gaps. Your partner will complete your text and you will complete the text that he/she will make for you. Put your text with your classmate’s text and you will have the complete water cycle.

Student A

The water cycle is the constant circulation of water between the sea, atmosphere and land. This process has four basic phases:

- The Sun heats the liquid water in oceans, rivers, lakes ... The water evaporates and changes its state: from liquid water to water vapour.

- Water vapour rises and condenses. Condensation changes water vapour into water drops. These water drops form clouds.

Student B

- Water falls from clouds in liquid form as rain or in solid form as snow or hail.- Water flows over the land and is used by plants or becomes underground water. Some water fills rivers, lakes, seas, oceans...
