LECL- the smallest unit of life often called the body’s building blocks.
SITUES- a group of cells with similar structure and function.
RANGO- a group of tissues working together for a specific function
GNOAR YTMESS- a group of organs working together to form organisms and perform a

Parts of the Digestive system

● Mouth- food enters the body and the digestive system through the mouth. Here, the teeth
chew the food into smaller pieces while it is mixed with the saliva. The saliva is produced
by the salivary glands and contains digestive enzymes that help in the digestion of food.
Saliva also moistens the food to help us swallow.
● Esophagus- after the food is swallowed, it goes down a long and narrow tube called the
esophagus. This tube connects the mouth to the stomach and pushes down the food
using a wavelike muscular motion called peristalsis.
● Stomach- the stomach is a bean-shaped muscular organ where the food is mixed with
gastric juices and hydrochloric acid. These substances help digest food and kill harmful
bacteria. The main step of digestion happens in the stomach.
● Small Intestines- In the small intestines, digestion continues as the food is mixed again
with bile and pancreatic enzymes. Bile is a substance that helps in breaking down fats
and oils. It is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Pancreatic enzymes
are created and released from the pancreas. In the small intestines, the food is turned to
liquid and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
● Large intestine- The large intestine has two major parts, the colon and the rectum. Here,
water is reabsorbed from the food to produce feces. Feces is stored until it is excreted
by the body through the anus. It is composed of undigested food particles and other
waste materials.

A. Preparation

Good morning Class! Good morning, Ma’am!

Before anything else, let us all stand up for a short (One student leads the prayer)

Okay, before we proceed to our lesson, I just want to

remind everyone about our rules that when I say
“class”, you say “yes ma’am!”

Understood, class? Yes ma’am!

And also, when I say “clear?” you say “Crystal Clear!”

Is that clear? Crystal Clear!

(Lesson Recall) One student each reads a sentence

letters.

Very Good! It looks like you still remembered our

previous lessons so you are now ready for our new
topic!

B. Motivation

Okay, Class? Yes, ma’am!

Have you ever attended a birthday party, wedding, Yes!

fiesta or any other special occasion?

What have you observed in all of them? Varied answers, one of which will be
about the food
Very Good! That’s right, when we celebrate different Different responses
occasions, there will always be food, especially in the
Filipino culture. But while you enjoy eating and tasting
different foods and delicacies, do you ever wonder
how the body processes and absorbs these food?

Well, based on our previous lessons, we know that Yes ma’am!

our body is composed of different organ systems,
right class?

C. Presentation

Today, we will be discussing about one special The Digestive System!

system related to food and digestion, can you guess
what system this is?

Very good! The digestive system is the body system

responsible for digestion and absorption of the
nutrients from the food we eat. Let us now explore
how food passes through and is processed by the
digestive system.

I have here a diagram of the human digestive system. Through the mouth, ma’am!
When you eat your food, where does it first enter your
body?

Right. The mouth is also where the first step of INGESTION

digestion takes place. This step is called
INGESTION. Can you repeat after me? INGESTION.

Can somebody read more about the mouth’s (One student reads the mouth’s
function? function written on the board)

Thank you. Now, if you notice in our diagram, there is (One student reads the paragraph

This is called the esophagus. Can you read what
happens in the esophagus?

After the esophagus, do you know what’s next? The stomach, ma’am!

Excellent! Any volunteers who can read about the (One student reads the paragraph
stomach’s function? under stomach)

Yes. The stomach is where the second stage or step Digestion

in the digestive process takes place, called
DIGESTION. Can you say digestion?
Great. After the stomach, the digested food goes (One student reads the paragraph

the small intestines?

So in the small intestines, some accessory organs Crystal Clear!

help in the digestion process. These are the liver, gall
bladder, and pancreas. The main digestion stage that
happens in the small intestines is called
ABSORPTION, or the transfer of nutrients into the
blood. Is everything clear?

After the small intestines, where does the digested (One student reads the paragraph
food go? Can you read, please? about the large intestines)

Good job! Thank you very much. So, in the large

intestines, more absorption takes place but this time,
only water is reabsorbed instead of nutrients. The
release of undigested food and waste materials after
they are stored and compacted in the large intestines
is the final step of the digestion process called
ELIMINATION.

Is everything clear? Crystal Clear!

Do you have any questions? (No, ma’am)

D. Application

Okay, if you have no more questions, I will assume The students follow the instructions.
that you understood our lesson very well and you will
be able to get a perfect score in this activity that I
prepared for you.

I will divide the class into five groups and each group
will receive an activity sheet. All you have to do is
label the organs of the digestive system and complete
the flowchart of the four stages of the digestion
process. You have five minutes to answer, after
which we will check your work.

E. Generalization

Class? Yes, ma’am

Are you all finished with your activity? Yes, ma’am

Okay, please pass you activity sheets forward and let
us see if you got the correct answers! (The teacher
shows the correct answers on the board and explains
them briefly)

F. Evaluation

For your individual quiz, kindly bring out a ¼ sheet of (The students answer a matching
paper and answer this short quiz on the board. Please type quiz)
right only the letter of your answer on your answer
sheet. You have another five minutes to finish.

Are you done, class? Yes, ma’am

Okay, please pass your papers to the center and The students pass their papers to the

in will not be accepted. (Teacher counts from one to
five)

G. Values Integration

Now that you have learned and understood the (Students will give varied answers)
digestive process, how do you think can you maintain
a healthy body through the food you eat?

You are all correct! In order to stay healthy, we should

eat fruits and vegetables and other nutritious foods.
We should also avoid junk food, oily foods, and
softdrinks that can harm our digestive organs. Eating
more fiber will also help maintain a healthy digestive
system and bowel movement.

Assignment

For your assignment, please bring out your Students copy their homework.
assignment notebooks and copy what is written on
the board.

Assignment:
Research about one digestive disorder and write what
causes it and how it can be treated.

Final Remarks

If you’re done copying, that’s all for today. You are

dismissed. Goodbye and thank you for listening.
