I.OBJECTIVES:
The pupils will:
1. Identify the key components of the digestive system.
2. Describe the path of food as it passes through the body.
3. Explain the digestive process.

II.SUBJECT MATTER:
Topic: Digestive System
Science Concept: The job of the digestive system is to break down the food into
smaller units called nutrients.
References: Science for Daily Life Use pp 30-31
Processes: Identifying, labelling, understanding and appreciating
Materials:
Sample of food like marshmallow, Illustrations
Value infusion: The importance of the digestive system in our body

III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preliminary Reports
1. Opening Prayer
B. Motivation
1. Give each of your students a piece of marsh mallow.
2. (Ask) have you ever wondered what happens to the food you eat?
3. (Ask) where do you think the food goes?
C. Presentation
1. Show the illustration of the digestive system.
2. Define what are digestive system and its job to our body.
3. Discuss the function of each part.
D. Lesson Proper
ACTIVITY: Give each student a piece of marsh mallow and tell them to take a
bite. Ask them not to chew or swallow the marshmallow; just hold it in their
mouth. Ask the following question:

1. What happen to the marsh mallow when it was in your mouth?

2. When did it start to get softer?
3. What did you taste?
4. Let them discuss the process of digestion.
 ANALYSIS
1. Where does digestion start?
2. Where are the partially food enters?
3. What is the last process of digestion?

ABSTRACTION (GENERALIZATION):
Digestion: The breakdown by enzyme action of large insoluble food particle
prior to absorption and assimilation.

PARTS OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

APPLICATION
Label the Parts of the Digestive System
Instruction: Label each box with its appropriate description from the data
provided on the right corner.
IV. EVALUATION
Fill in the blank the right in the box. Write your answer in 1 whole sheet of paper.

Large intestine Appendix Anus Mouth

Liver Small intestine Salivary Glands
Esophagus Stomach Gallbladder Pancreas
Digestion starts in the 1.______.The food is change into a soluble form. The 2._______
softens the food. The partially digested 3.______ enters the esophagus. It goes to the
stomach. The food is further changed into liquid form in the 4.______ so that the blood can
carry it to the different parts of the body. Undigested parts of the food are push into the
small intestine where they remain until the feces are expelled by a 5 .________.

V. ASSIGNMENT
Explain your answer. Write it in your notebook.
1. How can you keep your digestive system healthy?
