WATER RELATED ACTIVITIES FOR EDUCATORS AND LEARNERS TOPIC: WATER SUPPLY ACTIVITY 1: FILL IN THE BLANKS Study the picture of the Water Cycle and fill in the blanks: Water from soil, rivers, dams, estuaries and the sea, all E - - P - - A – E S into the air. This air cools and C – N – E – S – S to form C – O - - S. The water then falls back to Earth as R - - -, snow or hail. This is known as P - - C – P – T – T – O N. This is the NATURAL WATER CYCLE. Trace the source of our water and complete the following: From the mountain water flows into R – V – E – S then collects in D - - S. From here the water goes to a W – T - -W - - K S to get P – R – F – - D . The clean safe water is then stored in a R - - E – V - -R. From here it is pumped through pipes to eventually come out our T – - S. The used water is known as W – - T – W - – E R. This goes down our D - - I – S to a wastewater T – - A – M - - T works for R – C - - L – N G. The treated water is then discharged back into R - - E – V - -R S and oceans. ACTIVITY 2: COMPLETE THE WORKSHEET Make copies of the following worksheet and distribute them to learners for them to complete. ACTIVITY 3: POSTER MAKING Divide the class into groups and ask each group to design a poster explaining/showing the natural water cycle and the man made water cycle. Each group has to present their poster to the rest of the class once it is finished. ACTIVITY 4: MAKING MODELS MAKE YOUR OWN WATER CYCLE Ask learner to set up their own evaporation/condensation chamber to simulate the Natural Water cycle. This may be a group or individual activity. You will need: One plastic 2 litre cool drink bottle One plastic 500ml cool drink bottle Scissors Cling wrap/plastic film Salt 2 small stones Make Your Water Cycle as Follows: With the scissors carefully cut the 2litre plastic bottle 20cm from the bottom and cut the 500ml plastic bottle 10cm from the bottom. Place the 500ml plastic” cup” inside the 2litre plast
