Leaning Objectives

 Through a 40 minute lesson, at least 85% of the students are able to:

a). Identify the relations of different organ systems (Musculo-Skeletal,

Integumentary System, Digestive System, Respiratory System, Circulatory
System, and Nervous System).
b). Determine the functions of the organ systems on how it will affect a body
through a comprehensive activity.
c). Value the importance of organ systems on how it will affect the functions of
our body.

III. Learning Procedure

a). Appreciation/Motivation

Instructional Material: Activity Sheet

Read the story Body Systems Work Together adopted from Cindy Grigg

You know that your body is made of cells. When groups of cells do the same kind
of work, they are called tissues. When groups of tissues work together, they are called
organs. Some examples of organs are the heart, lungs, skin, and stomach. When organs
work together, thery are called systems. For example , your lungs, blood, and blood
vessels work together. They make up circulatory system. All of our body systems have to
work together to keep you healthy. Your bones and muscles work together to support and
move your body. Your respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air. It also gets rid of
carbon dioxide. Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat.
Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your
body. Wastes from the cells are eliminated by your respiratory system, your excretory
system and your skin. Your nervous system controls all these activities with electrical
impulses. If any systems in your body isn’t working properly, other systems ae affected.
Think of your body is a building. A building has a plumbing system, a heating system, a
cooling system, an electrical system, and a support system. If any system in a building
breaks down, other systems can be affected. As one example, think about a building’s
electrical system. Suppose a mouse chewed through an electrical wire to a furnace.
Without electricity, the heating system would not work. If this happened in a cold
weather the plumbing system would be affected. Water pipes might freeze and burst if a
lot of water leaked into the building’s walls, its support system would be damaged. Like
building systems, your body’s systems have to work together.

b). Procedure

b.1). Mediating thinking starts here, after a short story ask the students on what
are their ideas and perceptions about the story and offer some ideas about the
story for clarifications.

b.2). Start the discussion about the topics with a question: “If there is one organ
system that doesn’t work on our body, what will happen?”

b.3). Discuss the topics one by one, describe the functions of each organ systems
and offer some questions for recitation.

b.4). Show examples on how body systems affects our body to function, ask
students for examples and discuss on how organ systems work together through a
lecture discussion with the use of a powerpoint presentation.

b.5). Conduct a short activity where the students are grouped into three and they
will be assigned a chart where they will list the relations of the organ systems that
was assigned to them.

*Generalization: Ask students for realizations about the activity and the whole
lesson.

System Guess

Instruction: Answer the puzzle below. Write the name of the correct organ system that
corresponds on each number.

Across

2. Permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and
electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in
the body to provide nourishment.

6. Concern about digestion and absorption of food into small molecules, which are then
distributed into the body.

Down

1. Provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.

3. A series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.

4. Functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and
regulate body temperature.

5. Responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts.
