MOTIVATION:
Pre-Viewing Activity:
Catching an Object
A. Procedure:
1. Get a piece of paper.
2. Remain seated.
3. Ask a classmate to hold the paper and drop it.
4. Watch the piece of paper as it drops. Try to catch it
with your
hands.
B. Observation:
1. What part of your body did you use when you tried
to catch the
piece of paper?
2. Did it take much time for you to catch the paper?
REVIEW:
What does the activity show?
The activity shows your ability to react or
respond to the environment. Such ability is
one of
the characteristics that separate living things from nonliving things. You usually experience these and many
other daily activities without being consciously aware of
it.
Your body, through your sense organs, monitors
the environment. Messages are relayed to the brain
through the spinal cord. This information is integrated
or processed in your brain. Acting as a control center,
the brain sends appropriate responses for specific body
parts to do. How do your brain and other parts of the

nervous system process and evaluate all the

information given simultaneously by your different
sense organs? This will be the focus of our activity for
today.

INTERACT

Present the following questions:

1. What does the nervous system do to our body?
2. What are the parts of the nervous system? How does
each part
function?
3. How does the information from your sense organs get to
your brain?
Viewing Activity
1. Recall standards for viewing
2. Viewing proper
Post-viewing Activity
1. Discussion and Analysis
Answer the questions presented in the pre-viewing
activity.
2. Generalization
What are the parts of the nervous system? How does
each part function?

INTEGRATE

nervous
system following the format of the chart
below.

Concept Formation
What are the main parts of the nervous system? How
does each part of the nervous system work?
Application
You touched something very hot. What will be your
response to the given situation? Describe how the message
from the skin is relayed to the brain.

abdomen and the lower parts of the body to the CNS
and back.
a.) spinal cord
