LESSON TITLE
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:

describe the coordinated functions of the organs of the digestive system

trace the path of food as it is being digested
explain how enzymes help in digesting food
explain how digested food is absorbed through the villi and is carried through the
bloodstream to the liver and how dissolved wastes and solid wastes are eliminated
through the excretory system
LEARNING CONTENT
A. Parts of the Digestive System
1. The Digestive Tract
2. The Digestive Accessory organs
B. The Digestive Process
1. Mechanical Digestion of food
Digestion in the mouth
Digestion in the stomach
Digestion in the small intestine
Digestion in the large intestine
2. Chemical Digestion of Food

Role of Enzymes in the Digestion process

PRELIMENARIES

Materials

Routine Activities

Motivation/Review

Cut-out puzzle model of the digestive system

Demonstration in digestion set-up (sugar solution,
parchment paper, saliva, bile, starch solution, test tubes,
starch paste, oil, iodine solution, Benedicts solution, test
tube rack, alcohol lamp)
A Gutsy game set (digestive system game board, a piece
of die, tokens or playing pieces)
Start the class with an Opening prayer
Maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the class.
Ask the students on how does the digestive system
breakdown food to nourish the body?

Let the students play the gutsy game in order to help them
understand that the digestive system is made-up of organs that
work together to break down food and nourish the body.

Figure 1: The Gutsy game board

Relevance of the Lesson

The main relevance of the lesson that must be imbibed within

the students after the discussion of the concepts of the digestive
system is to appreciate the nature of the digestive system on how
it performs in order to provide proper nourishment for the body.
LESSON DEVELOPMENT

Developmental Activities

A. Introduction
1. Essential question
2. Motivation: A gutsy game
B. Lesson Proper
1. Presentation of the lesson: ask the students about their
background knowledge about the digestive system
2. Discussion
a. manipulation of the cut-out puzzle model of the
digestive system

b. demonstration activity about the role of

enzymes in the digestive process
3. Generalization: the students must gave a conclusion
about the main function of the parts of the digestive
system and how does it contribute to the nourishment
of the body based rom the
4. Application and Integration
C. Assessment and Evaluation

Application

Ask the following questions to check the students understanding

about the lesson:
1. Where are most of the food nutrients absorbed?
2. Describe the inside of the small intestine.
3. How do the villi increase absorption?
4. What is the function of the digestive system?

Integration

VALUES the students must be able to inculcate the essence of

the digestion in their everyday life like on how the different organs
of the digestive system wok together in order to provide the body
nourishment, this can applied in terms of group cooperation and
teamwork

Summary

Assessment and
Evaluation

Digestion is the process whereby complex food

substances are converted or reduced to smaller and more
soluble molecules so that they could be absorbed into the
body cells of an organism. Digestion human beings occur
in two major phases, the mechanical and chemical
phases.

I. Given the following blank diagram of the digestive system:

1. Trace the pathway if food in the digestive tract by drawing
an arrow. Label the correct sequence of the passage of
food from the (1) mouth to the (2) esophagus to the (3)
stomach to the (4) small intestine and to the (5) large
intestine
2. Color all the organs that belong to digestive tract as green
and all the accessory organs using orange
3. Label all the organs of the digestive system

II. What are the different enzymes that functions in the digestive
process? List their specific functions and the digestive organs
where they are located.
