Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 National Value Education. In our previous lesson, we learned about the uses of water. Today, we’re going to learn about the industrial uses of water.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- List at least two industrial uses of water.
- Appreciate the importance of water in industrial activities.
- Engage in a group discussion to share what you know about water usage in industries.
Industrial Uses Of Water
Water is essential for many industries, and its uses go beyond just drinking and washing. Let’s explore some of the major ways industries use water:
What is Industrial Use of Water?
Industrial use of water refers to how water is used in various manufacturing processes, production, and other industrial activities. It’s not just about drinking or washing; it’s about how water plays a vital role in making things we use every day.
Some of the main uses of water in industries include:
- Cooling Systems: Water is used to cool down machinery and equipment in factories. This prevents them from overheating and helps them work properly. Think about how a car’s engine needs water to stay cool; it’s similar in factories!
- Manufacturing: Water is a key ingredient in making many things, like drinks, food, and chemicals. It’s used to mix, wash, and process these products. Imagine how water is used to make your favorite juice or candy!
- Cleaning: Water is used to clean products, tools, and the entire factory to keep everything clean and safe. Just like you wash your hands to stay healthy, industries use water to keep their products and workplaces clean.
- Power Generation: Water is used to generate electricity in power plants. This electricity powers many industries and homes. Think about how water turns a windmill to make electricity; it’s similar in power plants!
- Agriculture: Water is essential for growing crops, which are used to make many products. Even though it’s not directly an industrial use, water is crucial for agriculture, which provides raw materials for industries.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about the industrial uses of water, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- Can you name two ways industries use water?
- Why is water important for industries?
- How does using water help in generating electricity?
- Can you think of any industries in your community that use water?
- Why is it important to use water wisely in industries?
Conclusions or Summary
We’ve learned that water is essential for many industries and plays a vital role in making the things we use every day. It’s important to remember that water is a precious resource, and we should use it wisely.
