I. MOTIVATIONAL ACTIVITY:
Name of Strategy (PUZZLE)
Pupils will be divided into 5 groups – They
will count from 1-5 then they will be group
according to the number assigned to them.

Say: Let’s do an activity. Here are 5 :(5 pupils approaches in front)

envelopes. Choose one representative (Pupils return to their groups with own
from your group and pick one envelope. envelopes)

Say: Now,open your envelopes and

identify the specific image and discuss its
function in 3minutes. :(Pupils’ discussion with their respective
groups.)
Say: Okay, time is up! What have you
noticed with the pictures?

Say: Now, one representative per group

will discuss their collaboration in front.
Who among you have the mouth image?
Okay! Be the first to discuss your work.

Say: Good job! Yes! The mouth breaks

down food into bits to facilitate transfer :(Pupil reporting)

Say: From the mouth, food passes through

this. What connects the mouth and
stomach?
: “Esophagus”
Say: Yes. And who have the esophagus?
Can you share your ideas?

Say: That’s correct!The esophagus

transacts food from the mouth to the
stomach by a movement.

Say: The food then is transported to the :(Pupil reporting)

stomach. Now, whichgroup now holds the
stomach? Can you discussit in front?

Say: Correct! Now who among you have

the small intestine picture? Please go in
front and discuss.

Say: Yes, that’s correct. You may return to

your seat.
:(Pupil reporting)

Say: The small intestine is where

pancreatic juices aids in digestion of
protein, carbohydrates and fats. It is also
the longest part of the digestive system.

Say: The remains of the digestion and

absorption now enter the large intestine
which happens to be in the last group.

Say: Yes, that’s true. You may now return

to your seat. The large intestine is
composed by the ascending, transverse
:(Pupil Reporting)
and descending colon, the appendix, anus
and rectum. It is alsowhere absorption of
water occurs. The remains after water has
been absorbed are now called STOOL or
FECES then it willbe stored in the rectum
then excrete.

Say: Very good! And what is the function

of our digestive system? :”The digestive system Is responsible for
breakdown and absorption of nutrients
from food thereby bringing energy for the
body.”

Say: That’s correct class. Don’t return to

your seats just yet. Let’s do another
activity.

(The teacher will discuss the Digestive

process in detail.)

II. Analysis:
Strategy:
(Step on the Directions)

The teacher will explain how to do the

activity. The directions to step on are all
about the processes that food undergoes
during digestion.

The teacher will play a video clip about the

digestion process before the pupils start
their tasks.

(The teacher will discuss the procedure of

the activity.)
Say: We have here footprints on the floor
each foot contains the sequence of how

our digestive system process the food we

eat. Step on the correct foot and it will lead
you to the right path. One representative
from the group will step on the footprints,
and another one will take note what is
written on the footprints until all the
procedure are stepped on. Another
member will report your written tasks. Is it : The pupils will step on the directions and
clear? take note of the process of digestion.

Say: class I will give you 3 minutes to

finish your tasks and the after that we will
have our reporting. : After taking down notes the

THE DIGESTION PROCESS: representative of every group will report

about their tasks.
The breaking down of food
by chewing and initial
digestion takes place.

The food will then be

swallowed and pass
through the esophagus to
the stomach.

The food will be mix and

digest in the stomach.

The small intestines will

perform a chemical
digestion and absorption of
the digested food in the
bloodstream.

The large intestines will

absorb water, minerals and
some vitamins from
undigested food and stores
waste materials until
excreted.

After 3 minutes.

III. ABSTRACTION
Activity:
(BRIGHT LIGHT)

Say: Now, we will have our next activity.

(Teacher will discuss the activity.)

Say: We have here on the board an image

of a bulb. And we will light it up by
answering the following questions. Each
group is assigned a bulb. I will flash
questions in the LCD Monitor and your
answers will be written on the strips of
papers. The papers will be paste one by
one until our bulb is lighted the first group
to get all correct answers will get 20
points. And incorrect answers will be
deducted respectively.

in diameter. Performs major part of
chemical digestion and absorption
of digested food in the bloodstream.

About 1.5 meters long. Absorbs
