MOTIVATIONAL ACTIVITY

Food Roulette (Game of Food) Students will be divided into 5 groups – They will count
from 1-5 then they will be group according to the
number assigned to them. They will be arranged like in

the food given by the Teacher, Then Group 2
will say another Food from the Last letter of
the food given by Group 1; Group 3 from

Let’s do another activity. Here are 5
envelopes. Yes, we are!

)

Now, open your envelopes and

identify the specific image and
discuss its function in 3minutes. (Student discussion
)

Okay, time is up! What have you

noticed with the pictures? They are parts of the
digestive system.

Yes. You have learned the following

parts in your previous year. Now will

discuss the Digestive process in
detail. So with that what is the
function of the digestive
system?
 The system responsible for food after we eat is Digestive

Yes. The digestive system Is

work.

Good job! Yes!

The mouth breaks down food into
bits to facilitate transfer thru the
esophagus to the stomach.This is
a process called mastication. It
also serves as the initial stage of
digestion with the enzyme
converting carbohydrates. What is
that enzyme?

And now let’s follow the food as it

passes through the digestive
system. From the mouth, food
passes
through the? What connects the Esophagus!
mouth and stomach?

Yes. And who have the esophagus? The esophagus transact food from the mouth to the

That’s correct! So what do we call Peristalsis!

that rhythmic movement?
That’s right. So through peristalsis,
the food,or now called chyme,
goes through the cardiac sphincter,
a ring-shaped muscle where food
enters from esophagus to stomach
that prevents food reflux. The food
then is transported to the
stomach. So again, what is that
muscle that
prevent reflux? The cardiac sphincter!

Correct. Now, which group now

hold the stomach? Can you discuss
it in front? The stomach further forms the food into smaller portions
and contains HCl that aids digestion and destroys the
bacteria present in the ingested food. It also has pepsin

does the food go after passing the
stomach?
Small intestines!
Now who among you the small
intestine picture? Please go in
front and discuss. 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.
Yes, that’s correct. You may return
to your seat. Furthurmore in the
small intestine, bile acts on the
food. Bile is produced in the liver

and stored in the gallbladder. It

droplets.

What organ produces bile?

How about the one that stores bile?
That’s correct! Small intestines the
remains of the digestion and
absorption are now enters the
large intestine who happens to be
in the
last group. The large intestine is composed by the ascending,
transverse and descending colon, the anus and rectum. It
is also where the appendix is. It also contains the feces
ready for excretion.
Yes, that true. You may now return
to your seat. The large intestine is
composed by the ascending,
transverse 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 will be
stored in the rectum then excrete
to
the anus.

So in summary, the digestive system

The mouth, esophagus, stomach, large and small intestines!
is composed of?
They are responsible for breakdown and absorption
of
nutrients from food thereby bringing energy for the body.
All are which function to do what?

Very good! Soow,

n I will turn you
over to Tr. Rose for the next activity.
