DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 9

I- OBJECTIVES
At the end of the 60-minute lesson, the students are expected to be able to:
- Describe blood flow and gas exchange within the heart, circulatory system, and
lungs;
- Explain the mechanism of how the respiratory and circulatory systems work
together

III – PROCEDURE

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

A. MOTIVATION “Good afternoon ma’am!”
Students will remain standing and one of the
“Good afternoon class!” students will lead the prayer.
“Before we start our lesson for today, we will
be having first a short activity.”
Students will answer the following:
“This is a game called Four Pics, One Word.”
“I will group you into two. I am going to show INHALE
you group of pictures and identify the theme. LUNGS
Below the pictures are blank spaces indicating OXYGEN
how many letters are in the answer. You will
be given a slate board to write your answer.
The first group to raise the correct answer will
gain 5 points. The group with the most number
of points wins the game.”

“Very good class, you were able to identify the

pictures.”

“Now, what comes to your mind when you “Those pictures show about respiration and
encounter those words or those pictures circulation ma’am”
shown to you?”

“Very good. What else?”

“Yes, you are correct!” “Those words pertain to Respiratory organs and
the heart ma’am.”

B. PRESENTATION

Class, why do we believe that life is Ma’am, Oxygen is necessary for life to exist.
possible only on planets where oxygen is
present?

Very good class.

C. DISCUSSION
Class without oxygen, the cells in the body
would not be able to release the energy in
 food for power, and they would die within
minutes.

What do we remember about the Ma’am, when we inhale air, our respiratory system
respiration class? gets oxygen. When we exhale, carbon dioxide is
released.
Thank you for the answer. That was very
good.

So how do the respiratory and circulatory

systems work together to carry out their
common purpose?

We will be having our group activity to

learn more about the gas exchange that
takes place in the respiratory and
circulatory systems.

Class, group yourselves and we will start

our activity entitled “Just Go with the
Flow!”

Teacher provides the students with the

instructions and materials needed to
perform the activity.

Procedure:
1. Perform the activity with your group mates (7-8 Students participated and work with their group
persons). mates during the entire activity.
2. Assign and label different areas in the outdoor
setting as: lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, arteries,
capillary, veins, right ventricle, and right atrium.
3. Using the marking pen, write down the word
oxygen on as many paper strips as you can and
place them in the lung area. The capillary area
should have papers with carbon dioxide written on
them.
4. Use the chalk to mark and define the different
areas such as what is given in the diagram below.
Assign some members of your group to stand still
on the different marked areas.

5. Choose two members from the group to take the

trip around the different posts. Let the partners
start the tour in the lung area and together pick up
a paper
labeled as oxygen from another member standing
at his post. They should carry the strip of paper to
the heart, passing through the left atrium, and
then to the left ventricle. As the partners go to
every station, they must leave a trail of rope or
ribbon held by another member in a designated
area, until the path of the journey is completely
traced.
6. Partners must run along the chalk marks
representing the arteries into the capillary area.
7. Tell the partners to exchange the strip of paper
representing oxygen for a piece of paper
representing carbon dioxide with a member in his
designated area.
8. Make the partners run along the chalk marks
representing the veins into the heart area, first to
the right ventricle, then to the right atrium.
9. The partners must then run back into the lung
area where the process begins again. When there
are no more strips of paper, the activity is over.
The leader may want to keep placing new papers
into designated areas to keep the game going on
longer.

After the activity, students will answer the guide

questions listed below:
How do the heart and the lungs work together?
________________________________________
What takes place when you inhale and exhale?
________________________________________
What does blood deliver to every part of the
body?
________________________________________
Why is oxygen important to your body?
________________________________________
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen,
carbon dioxide, and blood flow in your own
words? ___________________ ___________

Take note of this class.

Air first enters your lungs and then into the left
part of your heart. It is then driven by your heart
into the blood stream, all the way through your
body.

Who pumps the blood? The heart Ma’am!

Very good!

The heart pumps blood which transports essential

nutrients, oxygen, and other chemicals to every
cell in your body. Once it reaches the cells, oxygen
processes the nutrients to release energy.

What is given off during the process? Carbon dioxide is given off Ma’am.

Thank you for the nice answer. Carbon dioxide leaves our body through lungs
Carbon dioxide is given off during this process. The when we exhale Ma’am.
blood delivers carbon dioxide into the right
portion of the heart, from which it is pumped to
the lungs.

Very good class.

AGREEMENT:
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY
In the given framework of the human body below,
illustrate the blood flow and gas exchange in the
respiratory and circulatory systems using diagrams
and arrows. Color your work to show the
distinction of oxygen and carbon dioxide carried in
the blood.
