Kindly lead the prayer…..

Good morning dear students

Good morning ma’am. Good morning visitor.

Before we start our class for today, kindly mute your microphones when not in used and if you want to
answer used the symbol raise your hand before answering. Make sure that your places are well organized
and distraction-free.
Who are absent for today?

Are you ready for today’s activity?

Yes ma’am
Very good
ENGAGE
A. Reviewing Previous Lesson or Presenting New Lesson
Before we proceed to our lesson, let’s have a recap from what we have discussed last meeting. (Teacher
asking students about the last lesson for the 3rd Quarter).
What have you learned from the last lesson in the 3rd Quarter?
(Students are doing the recap)
That’s right!

Class have you experienced attending occasions, such as Birthday party, wedding, fiesta and etc…?
Yes ma’am!
What have you observed?
(Varied answers from the students)
As you enjoy eating different delicious food, do you ask yourself how these foods be digested and
absorbed by the body?
(Varied answers from the students)

Ok class, did you have your breakfast?

(Nobody raised their hands)
Who among you here did not have his/her breakfast?
Are you hungry now?
Yes ma’am!

B. Establishing a Purpose for the Lesson

Activity: CRACKER IN THE MOUTH
(Each student will be given 2 crackers)
STEP 1: Put a regular cracker into your mouth and chew.
STEP 2: Place the new cracker in your mouth and let it sit for 2 minutes.
Okay class, what do you observed in our activity?
What does it feels like initially?
What it feels after 2 minutes in your mouth and what it feels like when you chew it?
(Varied answers from the students)
Very Good class!
Our activity shows how the saliva in our mouth lubricates and soften the food that we ate.
Are you ready now to our lesson?
Yes ma’am!
EXPLORE
C. Presenting Examples/Instances of the Lesson
To give you an idea about the lesson for today, let me show you a video about the parts and functions of the
Digestive System. Here’s the link for the video: https://youtu.be/ZBZWgrfZFbU

EXPLAIN
D. Discussion of new concepts and practicing new skills
I’m going to divide you into six groups, choose one representative in your group and proceed in front.
Yes ma’am!
Here are six envelopes then choose one envelope then proceed to your respective group.
(6 students will approach the front.)
Now let’s open the envelope then identify the specific picture and discuss its function in 3 minutes. Okay,
Times Up! What have you noticed about the pictures?
They are parts of Digestive System.
Yes, very good! And now we will discuss about the digestive system in detail. Ok class, do you have any
idea about the Digestive System?
The Digestive system is the one responsible for the food we eat.
That is correct!
The Digestive System is responsible for the breakdown and absorption of the nutrients from the food
thereby bringing energy for the body, and it is divided into two parts the organ of alimentary tract that
comes in contact with the food and the accessory organ that pour out secretion to assess in the digestive
system.
What is the process by which the food is broken into smaller components that the body can absorb to
nourish the cell?
Digestion
What are the two phases of Digestion?
Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
During mechanical digestion the food is broken down into smaller pieces in the process of chewing or
mastication. Example is the cracker in the mouth activity. In chemical digestion the food is acted upon the
chemical subs called enzymes. The enzymes convert the food into their simplest form. Okay class, did
you understand?
Yes ma’am!

Now class, one representative per group will discuss their collaboration in front.
Yes ma’am!
Who among you here have the mouth image?
We have it!
Be the first to discuss your work.
The mouth is where the digestion begins, in the mouth the food is mechanically and chemically digested.
Very good! You may now take your seat.
The mouth contains the following structures. The teeth which breaks down the food into smaller pieces.
The tongue a muscular organ that mixes the food with saliva aids in swallowing. The
duct of the salivary glands that secretes saliva that lubricate the food and the palate
that forms the rooting of the mouth.
What is the enzyme that digest the carbohydrates in the mouth?
Salivary Amylase Ptyalin
That is correct! The food that enters the mouth is chewed and it is now called bolus. Let’s follow the food
as it passes through the digestive system. Okay, from the mouth food passes through the what?
Pharynx
Yes, that’s right, and who have the picture of the pharynx, can you share your ideas?
The pharynx or throat is located posterior to the mouth, it is the common passageway for digestion and
respiration.
Very good! The pharynx is 5-6 inches long. During swallowing, the sphincter muscles relaxes and raise
the Epiglottis which prevents the bolus or the food from entering in the trachea.
What prevent the bolus or food from entering the trachea?
Epiglottis
After the food passes through the pharynx the next is?
Esophagus
Correct! Which group will discuss about the esophagus?
The esophagus is a muscular tube through where the foods from pharynx to the stomach.
Very good! You may return to your seat. During swallowing, the bolus is conveyed by the esophagus into
the stomach via wavelike contraction and relaxation of involuntary muscle that is called peristalsis. What
is that wavelike contraction or rhythmic movement?
Peristalsis
Through peristalsis, the food goes through the cardiac sphincter a ring shape muscles, where food enters
from the esophagus to the stomach to prevent food reflux. So again, what is the muscles that prevent food
reflux?
Cardiac Sphincter
That is correct!
Now, after the food pass through the esophagus and next is the?
Stomach
Can you discuss it in front?
The stomach is an expanding organ located between the esophagus and small intestine. The stomach
stores the food and mixes the food with gastric juice.
Yes, The stomach is a pear-shaped organ that is about 30.5 cm long and 15.2 wide, the bolus enters the
stomach will convert to semi fluid partially digested food, what we called?
Chyme
Very good and now next organ is the small intestines. Please go in front and discuss.
Small intestine is considered as the organ of complete digestion and absorption, it is considered as the
longest organ of the digestive system.
Yes, good job. The chyme enters to the small intestines through the pyloric sphincter, the small intestine
signals the pancreas to produce pancreatic juice, and the gall bladder to release bile.
Pancreatic juices aid in the digestion of protein and carbohydrates and the bile is responsible to break
down fats.
Okay class, what organ produces the bile?
Liver
What organ stores the bile?
Gall bladder
After passing through the small intestine, the food enters to the?
Large Intestine
The last group will share their idea.
Large intestine is divided into 3parts: ascending colon, transverse colon and the descending colon. The
large intestine stores the fecal materials, absorbs the vitamins, and reabsorbs the water from the
undigested residue.
Very good. The appendix is also located in the proximal end of the ascending colon. The undigested
residue or the feces it will be stored in the RECTUM then excrete to the ANUS.
So, in summary class, the digestive system is composed of the?
Mouth, Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Rectum and the Anus.
What are the accessory organ of digestion?
Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Salivary glands.
All are which function to do what?
They are responsible for breakdown and absorption of nutrients from food thereby bringing energy to the
body.
Okay class, do you understand?
Yes ma’am!
E. Developing mastery
To gauge your knowledge about our lesson for today let us answer this activity together. Label the
parts of the Digestive System from the Word Bank.
Very good. No more questions?
F. Finding Practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
Why is digestion important?
Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and
cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs
them and carries them to cells throughout the body.
What Happens When Your Digestive System Is Not Working Properly?
If you had no digestive system, you would have no ability to get the nutrients and sugars in food, and you
would die. The digestive system is very long, however. Some people have gotten into car accidents and
damaged their intestines, and had to have part of them removed.
