III. PROCEDURE

Teachers Activity Students Activity

A. Preliminaries - One student will lead the prayer.

1. Prayer - Students raise their hand and say present as the teacher
2. Checking of attendance
calls in their name.
-
3. Review
- Yes sir!
Ok class; let’s have a short recap about our lesson yesterday.

1. What is the largest component of the integumentary

system? - (The students will volunteer to answer.)
2. What are the functions of the integumentary system?
- (The students will volunteer to answer.)
4. Motivation

Class, do you want to play a game?

Let’s play the game Food Roulette (Game of Food). - Yes sir!

I will divide you into 5 groups. Count from 1-5 then you will
be group according to the number assigned to you.
These are the mechanics.
Here are the rules:
1. Each group will be given 3 seconds to answer.
2. Brand name is not allowed but proper noun will.
3. Beverage is allowed.
4. After Group 5, teacher will begin another set.
5. The teams who get/s the highest score will be
the winner.
One student will read the mechanics:
1. The class will be grouped into 5.
2. The teacher will say a food word and Group 1 will say
another. Then Group 2 will say another food from the last letter
of the food given by Group 1; Group 3 from Group 2; Group 4
from Group 3; Group 5 from Group 4 (end)
3. Another set will start- same sequence as No. 2. It will be 3
set.
Trial: Group 1 will say “Nuggets”.
Teacher will say………. “Fried chicken” Group 2 will say “Soup”.
Group 3 will say “Popcorn”.
Group 4 will say “Nuts”.
Group 5 will say “Strawberry”.
Round 1
I was doing house chores and I think of…… “Jackfruit”

Round 2
I went to a mall, while driving I am thinking of….. “Ice
cream”.

Are you hungry now? - Yes we are!

In a little while it will be lunch already.

B. Lesson Proper

PUZZLE
Okay class. Don’t return to your seats just yet. Let’s do
another activity. Here are 5 envelopes, choose one
representative of your group and proceed in front. (5 students approaches in front)

Choose one envelope, and then proceed to your respective (Students return to their groups with own envelopes)
groups.
(Students discussion)
Now open your envelopes and identify the specific image
and discuss its function in 3 minutes.

Okay, times up! What have you noticed with the picture? - They are part of the digestive system sir.

Very good class! Now I will give you another minute to (Students will paste their output in the arrangement they
interact with other groups and arrange the pictures together know in front.)
with your output according to the proper flow of digestion
and paste it in front.

What do you think is the first step? - It is in the mouth Sir.

Ok! Let’s see if the arrangement you do is correct.

(Slide show will appear)
- The mouth offers an entry of food into the body. It is
Where does digestion start? also where the mechanical breakdown begins.
Very good class! You are right.
It is really the mouth that comes first in the process of
digestion. - It is the esophagus sir!
May we call one representative from the group to discuss
their output regarding the function of the mouth?

Good job!!! And now let’s follow the food as it passes
through the? What connects the mouth from the stomach?
Very Good!
May I call the representative of esophagus group?
- The esophagus transacts food from the mouth to the
stomach by a movement. (Student discuss their
output)
That’s correct! In addition to that let us read and discuss what is
on the slide.
(Slide show will flash on screen)
- The stomach further forms the food into smaller
May we call in the next group to present their output? portions and contains hydrochloric acid that aids
digestion and destroy the bacteria present in the
ingested food. It also has pepsin that breakdown
protein into smaller forms.

Yes! That’s correct. Now, where does the food go after passing
the stomach? - In small intestine sir!

That’s right!
May I ask the next group to discuss to us the function of the
small intestine? - The small intestine is where the pancreatic juices
aids the digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
It is also the longest part of the digestive system.
Yes! That’s correct. You may return to your seat.

Furthermore in the small intestine, bile acts on the food. Bile is - Yes Sir!!!
produced on the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It
breakdown fat’s into smaller droplets. You get it?

Ok, let us now listen to the last group as they discuss their - The large intestine is the last part of the
output. gastrointestinal tract. Water is absorbed here and the
remaining waste material is stored as feces before
being removed by defecation
Yes, that’s true.
The large intestine is also known as large bowel.
It is also where absorption of water occurs. The remains after
water has been absorbed are now called STOOL or FECES that
will be stored in the rectum then excreted by the anus.

From our activity, what then is the function of the digestive

system? - They are responsible for breakdown and absorption
of nutrients from food thereby bringing energy for
the body.

For additional information, let me show to you a short

presentation about the digestive system, its parts and functions. (Students look and listen carefully to the short clip
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og5xAdC8EUI)
presentation via AVP. Various interactions takes place from
the class.)

C. Generalization

Alright class, based upon the short clip presented what have
you understood?
- Digestion involves a series of process and needs aid
from other glands and organs for it to do its job
properly.
- It is composed primarily of the mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum.

So, any question from the class? Any suggestion or

clarification? - None sir!
Alright, thanks for lending your ears and time with me class.
Now it’s time for our short quiz.
D. Evaluation

Direction: Use the words in the box to fill in the blanks.

stomach chewed food energy The students will answer the question intelligently.
rectum liver mouth small
waste saliva large intestine
system swallow intestine digestion
acid absorbed tongue pharynx
liquids esophagus

All animals need to eat _______________ to get

_______________ to live. But in order to use this food, they
have to break it down in a process called _______________. And
so, all animals have a group of connected organs called the
digestive _______________.

In humans, the process of digestion begins in the

_______________ where food is _______________ into small
pieces by the teeth. The _______________ helps by moving
these pieces around. There pieces are covered by
_______________, or spit. The saliva makes the food slippery so
that it is easier to _______________. It also helps to break down
the food.

Once the food is swallowed, it passes through the

_______________, which is like a gate that sends food into the
_______________ and air into the lungs. The food travels down
the esophagus and into the _______________. Once in the
stomach the food is mixed with _______________ and crushed
some more.

After spending some time in the stomach, the food is

sent into the _______________ where nutrients are
_______________. The _______________ helps by producing
some digestive juices called bile. Next, the remaining food goes
into the _______________ where the _______________ are
absorbed. The remaining food is called _______________ and it
is pushed into the _______________ where it waits before
leaving the body.

E. Assignment

1. List down (3) digestive system disorders. Write down the

causes and the ways to treat them.
2. Bring the following: cotton balls, ice candy plastic, two
pieces of straw and rubber bands.
