Matter is made up tiny particles

called molecules. They are
constantly moving. They are held
together by a molecular force.
When the molecules move faster as
when they absorb heat they may be
able to break away from the force
that holds them together. When this
happens molecules spread out in
the air gaseous particles easily
spread.

What is matter
made up of?

Diffusion in liquid may be observed

especially with colored solutes in water.
Example dye in water. This ability to
spread out readily is called diffusion. In
this learning material matter you will find
out what made up of matter, which states
of matter easily diffused and which
particles are constantly moving.

INTRODUCTION
Strategic Intervention Material on URINARY SYSTEM is a LEAST
MASTERED SKILL on Grade V. When I introduced this lesson to
my pupils, at least 80-85% of them got the correct answer.
Therefore, it was a huge success in terms of using SIM or
Strategic Intervention Material in our lesson. It makes their
learning enjoyable and lasting. Also, it is very easy to
replicate.

By means of this material, the pupils should be aware on

whats going on to human system. They would know the
functions and the parts of the urinary system and what are the
factors that affect our urinary system.

I was so surprised because out of 95 pupils, 85 pupils got the

correct answer to all activities that I prepared. It was a big
success in my part to use the material in teaching process for
the learning of my pupils. It helps them a lot as a learning
guide to understand the human body they possess. Although

Urinary System
Least Mastered Skill

Describe the main parts and function

of the Urinary System

Guide Card

These are the main parts and the function of the Urinary System.

1.
Kidneys- the kidneys are two brownish, bean shaped organs about the size of a fist, they weigh about 5 ounces.
They are located in the upper right and left back part of the abdominal cavity. Each kidney contains about 1,200,000
microscopic filters called nephrons. Nephrons are smaller than the smaller dots.
The main function or the kidneys are to maintain the water balance and to eliminate waste materials from the blood.
2.
Ureters the left and the right ureters are long muscular tubes. They are about 12 inches long with a diameter 2 to 3
millimeters.
The ureters connect pelvis of each kidney to urinary bladder. They carry urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder.
3.
The Urinary Bladder the urinary bladder is a muscular sac that holds urine. It is located in front the pelvis and
behind the pubis. As the bladder fills walls stretch signaling the desire to urinate.
4.
The Urethra- the urethra is a muscular tube which carries urine from the bladder to the outside part of the body. In
the female, it is a one inch long from the bladder to the cleft of the labia. In the male, it is several inches long from the
prostate gland to the penis. When one is about to urinate, a value in the urethra relaxes to allow the urine to flow out.

Of course, but not only junk food can cause

diseases of the Urinary system.

Teacher, is eating
junk food bad for
the Urinary
System?

Oh no!!! my
brother Pedro
enjoys eating
junk food. I must
tell him to stop
eating junk food.

Teacher can you tell

me the common
diseases of the
Urinary System?

There are many

diseases affecting the
Urinary System. Some
of these are Bladder
Stone (Vesical Calculi),
Cystitis (Inflammation
of the Bladder),
Tumors of the Bladder,
Uremia (Kidney
Failure), Nephritis,
Renal Calculi (Kidney
Stone) Pyelitis and
Pyelonephritis.
Bladder stones are small masses of minerals
that form in your bladder. Bladder stones
develop when urine in your bladder becomes
concentrated, causing minerals in your urine
to crystallize. Concentrated, stagnant urine is
often the result of an enlarged prostate, nerve
damage or recurring urinary tract infections.

Cystitis is an infection of the bladder. It

causes burning sensations during
urination and a frequent need to urinate.
The most common bladder tumor is
cancer.
Uremia is a toxic condition resulting
from kidney disease in which there is
retention in the bloodstream of waste
products normally excreted in the urine.
Nephritis refers to inflammation of one
or both kidneys. It can be caused by
infection, but is most commonly caused
by autoimmune disorders that affect the
major organs.
Renal calculi is a common cause of
blood in the urine and pain in the
abdomen, flank, or groin.
And lastly Pyelitis, Pyelitis is a disease
of the kidney.

At home while Pedro at Juan is playing

I cant concentrate
because my lower
abdomen is aching.

Is that so? ok so
from now on I
will stop eating
junk food.

Brother Pedro whats

wrong? You are usually
good at building things.

Brother you should

stop eating junk food
because its bad for
your health. Ive learn
in school that you
can get many Urinary
diseases when you
eat junk food.
