classmates!
Before you take your seats, I want you to
roam your eyes near your place and pick up
pieces of papers and trash. After picking,
arrange your chairs and prepare yourselves
for our class today.

You may now have your seat.

Let us have first the checking of attendance.

Who is absent in row 1? None teacher.

How about in row 2? None teacher.
Is there absent in row 3? None teacher.
How about in row 4? None teacher.

Very good! We are in complete attendance

today.

B. Review

Before we start our lesson for today, let us

have first a review of what we have learned
yesterday.

Who can share to the class the topic that we

have discussed yesterday? Our lesson yesterday was all about the
digestive system and its parts.
Very good!

To check if you have mastered our lesson

yesterday, I have prepared here a set of Yes teacher.
rumbled letters. I want you to form a word
out of this rumbled letters. Are you ready?

Showthe rumbled letters through

PowerPoint Presentation. Give learners ten
seconds to form the word out of the rumbled
letters being shown.

Call learner who raises his/her hand to give

an answer.

Let the learners read the formed words.
Learners read the words altogether.
What do you observe with these words that
you have formed? All the words that we have formed are all
parts of the digestive system.
Exactly!

C. Motivation

Show a short video clip that portraits food in

eating vegetables and any other food.

What have you observed with the video clip

you have just watched?
What are the foods doing in the video?
What do you think are the kind of food that
we need to eat?
Very good! But, why do we need to eat
vegetables and fruits?
We should eat vegetables and fruits body needs.
because they are important source of many
We have seen different kind of foods in
the video teacher.
They were eating hamburgers, candies,
ice cream, vegetables and etc.
We need to eat healthy food like
vegetables and fruits.
We need to eat vegetables and fruits
because it contains nutrients that our

other nutrients that keeps us fit and healthy.

But, do you know where the food goes after

it enters our mouth?
Not certain of where the food goes after it

Activity (Picture Puzzle)

I have here a cut out pictures. Just like in a

jigsaw puzzle you are going to form a big
picture by fitting these pictures together.

Now, I need volunteers to solve this jigsaw

puzzle.
I volunteer teacher.
Who else want to help?

Good job! Our jigsaw puzzle is now I want to help teacher.

Let us give everyone a very good clap. Performs the very good clap.

Very Good!

Today we will find out the function of each

part and the path taken by the food inside
our body.

E. Analysis

Show to the class the enlarged 3D

illustration of digestive system.

I have here a video of two different groups

of foods they like to eat.

Letus see how food moves inside there

body.

When you eat, where does the food enter

first? It enters our mouth first teacher.

Right! The food first enters our mouth.

What will our mouth do once we take the

food? The mouth will chew the food teacher.
Precisely! The mouth breaks down the food
into small pieces and mixes it with saliva.

After the mouth breaks down the food,

where do you think will the food go next? The food will go down the esophagus

Great! Who has an idea of how esophagus

where food travels to the stomach

muscular tube and it has only one important
function in our body and that is to carry
food, liquids and saliva from our mouth to
the stomach.

Stomach acts as a container and once the

food reaches the stomach the digestion of
the food begins.

After the food leaves the stomach, the

journey of the food to the small intestine
begins.

But what happens to the liver, gall

That’s a good point! In the digestive system, bladder and pancreas teacher?
we also have accessory organs.

What is meant by accessory digestive

Accessory digestive organs are the organs organs teacher?
that helps with the digestion but is not part
of the digestive tract.

To better understand, let us first know the

function of the accessory organs to our
digestive system.

Liver is responsible of producing bile and

processes nutrients from the food. However,
gall bladder serves as the storage of the
bile.
How about the pancreas teacher?
Pancreas is responsible for the secretion of
enzymes into the small intestine.

These accessory digestive organs give

digestive juices that helps break down the
food that can be used as energy for the
body.

After that, the food enters the small What happens to the food in the small
intestine. intestine teacher?

Small intestine absorbs all the nutrients and

minerals from the food. It proceeds to the large intestine teacher.

What happens to the food that our body

doesn’t need?

Very good! The large intestine absorbs the

water from the remaining indigestible food
matter and transmit the useless waste
material from the body. The useless waste material will go to the
rectum teacher.
Where do you think will the useless waste
material go?

Very good! Rectum is responsible for storing

the waste until it leaves the body through
the anus.

And when it leaves our body, that will be the

time that we go to the comfort room.
Sounds disgusting, right? But that is how
our body works.
The organs that are found in our

G. Application

I have here envelopes. Inside these

envelopes are the materials that you need
in making the activity.

Each group must assign their leader and

reporter.

I will only give you 5 minutes to finish your

activity. But before that, I prepared scoring
rubric or scoring guide for performance in
the activity process.

Group 1- Draw the mouth and esophagus

I am calling all the leaders to come in front and describe its functions.
and get your respective envelopes. Group 2- Draw the liver and stomach and
describe its functions.
Leaders kindly read to the class your Group 3- Draw the gall bladder and
assigned task. pancreas and describe its functions.
Group 4- Draw the small intestine, large
intestine and rectum and describe its
functions.

Reporters share their group work to the

whole class.
Your time is up! Post your works on the
blackboard and reporters prepare
yourselves for the reporting.
Performs the Nice clap.
Thank you, reporters! I just want to
congratulate everyone for a job well done!

And because of that, let us give ourselves a

nice clap.

IV. Evaluation
Describe the function of the following parts of the digestive system. Write your
answers on the line provided below.

V. Assignment
On a short bond paper, draw a picture of human’s digestive system, label each
part and write down its corresponding functions.
