III. LESSON PROPER

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
 Daily Routine
A. Prayer
(The teacher will ask a student to lead
the prayer)

Okay class, let’s all stand up for the

opening prayer. Mina, can you lead the Yes, ma’am
prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God’s love,
Commits me here.
Ever this day be at my side
To light and guard, to rule and guide,
Amen.
B. Greetings

Good morning class! Good morning Teacher!

Before you sit, kindly pick up the

pieces of trash and arrange your chairs. Yes, ma’am

How’s your day, children? Were fine teacher

How about the others? Good teacher
Okay! Very well! Okay teacher

C. Checking of attendance

Miss secretary, who is absent today? No one is absent today, ma’am

Very good! Well appreciated!

D. Lesson Review (Engagement)

Okay class, do you want to have play? Yes, teacher

I am going to ask what was our topic

last meeting. I have the bottle here, you
were going to pass it while music is on
and when the music stop, whoever hold
that bottle were going to answer my Yes, teacher
question. Get it?
Let’s start:
(Questions)
1. What is our topic last meeting? Weather ma’am

2. What is weather? It is the state of the air and atmosphere

at a particular time and place.

3. What are the types of weather? Rainy

Sunny
Windy
Cloudy

4. What is the importance of it on If there were no rains, the soil becomes

our lives? dry and no plants and people survive.

Okay, very good class! Its seems that

you are all knowledgeable about our
topic last meeting.

Let’s proceed

E. Motivation (Explore)

1. The teacher will ask the students

to find a partner.
2. Have the students locate their
own pulse by placing their
fingers on their wrist. Instruct
students that if they have felt a
throb then they have located
their pulse. Instruct not to use
their numb then rationalize why.
3. Next allow the other partner to
locate their partner’s pulse and
vice versa.
4. Instruct on how to record their
own pulse rate and their
partner’s pulse rate.
 5. After recording their pulse rate
“at rest”, allow students to do
jogging in place then record their
pulse rate “after exercise”
6. The teacher will then ask at least
2 students to present their
corresponding pulse rate on each
activity that the teacher asked
them to do.

Guide Questions:

1. What is your pulse rate while “at

rest” and “after exercise”?
2. Was your “at rest” pulse rate the
same as your partners?
3. Should everyone have the pulse
rate? Why or why not?
4. How did exercising affect your
pulse rate?

How’s the activity children? Is it fun? Yes, teacher

Did you know what our activity is all Heart ma’am

about?

Very Good!

Our topic today is all about the heart

F. Discussion (Explain)

Heart – is a muscular organ that pumps

blood throughout the body. It is located
in the middle cavity of the chest,
between the lungs. In most people, the
heart is located on the left side of the
chest, beneath the breastbone.
Layers of the heart wall:

Epicardium – it is considered a part of

the protective pericardial membrane
around the heart. It helps to keep the
heart lubricated and protected.

Myocardium – it is the muscle of the

heart. You can remember this because
the root word “myo” comes from
“muscle”, while “cardium” comes
from “heart”.

Endocardium – it is a thin, protective

layer on the inside of the heart. It is
made of smooth, slippery endothelial
cells, which prevent blood from
sticking to the inside of the heart and
forming deadly blood clots.

Chambers of the heart:

Right atrium – it only has to receive

blood from the body’s veins and pump
it into the left ventricle, where the real
pumping action starts.

Right ventricle – the ventricles are

larger chambers with stronger, ticker
walls. They are responsible for
pumping blood to the organs at high
pressures. It is the one attacked to the
pulmonary circuit. It pumps blood
through the pulmonary artery and to
the lungs, where the blood fills with
oxygen, at high pressure.
Left atrium – receives oxygenated
blood from the pulmonary veins. It
pumps this blood into the left ventricle.

Left ventricle – pumps blood through

the rest of the body.

Valves of the heart

Tricuspid valve – also known as

“atrioventricular” valve. It ensures the
blood only flows from the atrium to the
ventricle.

Pulmonary valve – also known as

“semilunar valve”. It is found in
arteries leaving the heart and it is the
one who prevent blood from flowing
backwards from the arteries into the
heart’s chamber.

Mitral valve – it is the other

atrioventricular valve. This one lies
between the left atrium and the left
ventricle. It prevents blood from
flowing back from the ventricle into
the atrium, ensuring that the blood is
pumped to the rest of the body.

Aortic valve – it needs a semilunar

valve just like the pulmonary artery. It
prevents blood from flowing
backwards from the aorta into the left
ventricle “sucks” in oxygenated blood
from the left atrium.

H. Application
Activity 1: “How the heart works?”

Materials:
3 water bottles
2 bottle cups
Tape
4 bendy straws
Food coloring (red)
Clay
3 cups of water

Procedures:
1. Make a 1 hole on the one bottle
cup and 2 holes to the other.
2. Mixed the food coloring to the
water and put it into the two
bottles, leave the third one
empty.
3. Put the one bottle cup with one
hole to the right bottle and the
other bottle cup to the middle
 water bottle, leave the third
bottle without a cup.
4. Take two straws, stretch and
bend them to create a 90
degrees’ angle. Slide on straw to
the other straw, (pinch one to
make it smaller so it slides in),
then tape up to join.
5. Carefully slide the straws
through the bottle cups. Place
clay around the straw bases on
the middle bottle cup. You are
now ready to put your heart
model to work.
