Introductory Message
Welcome to Science 4!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the Schools
Division of Aklan and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through the Curriculum
and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to guide the learning
facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to guide

the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the contextualized
resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring the lifelong
learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Science 4 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning activities
specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-
face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with
the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Science 4 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even if you
are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging
activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand
the instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be
returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Main Function of the Major Organs

I. Learning Competency with Code

Describe the main function of the major organs. (S4LT-IIa-b-1)

II. Background Information for Learners

The human body is made up of several organs. Organs are different tissues
working together to carry out a particular function. An organ is made up of the
same type of tissues, which are well-organized to perform specific functions in
all living things, including plants, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, mammals and
humans. The human body is made up of 78 organs.

Major Organs Description

The busiest organ of the body which controls
thoughts, memory and other organs.
Brain
It is located at the center of the chest, between your
lungs. It pumps blood throughout the body.
Heart
Are two stretchy and sponge-like organs found on
either side of the chest. It separate oxygen from the
Lungs air and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
It is a baglike organ made up of muscles that is found
Stomach in the upper left part of the abdomen. It helps in the
process of digestion of food.
It is a coiled tube about 6 to 7 m long. It absorbs
Small nutrients from the food.
Intestine
It is a tube that is about 1.5 m long. The waste
Large products of the body pass through the large intestine
Intestine before they are expelled by the body.

 Major Organs Description
Are pair of bean-shaped organs that filter the blood
Kidneys and produce urine.
It is the biggest digestive organ in the human body. It
removes poison from the blood and helps in the
Liver digestion of food by releasing a bile.
It is a muscular sac in the pelvis, just above and behind
the pubic bone. It is lined by layers of muscle tissue that
Bladder stretch to hold urine. The normal capacity of the
bladder is 400-600 mL.
It is the largest organ of the body. It is referred to as
the body’s touch receptor. It protects and contains the
Skin other organs.
Are tissues that are made up mostly of collagen,
proteins, minerals and vitamins. It serve as the
Bones supporting framework of the body.

Are tissues that give shape or form to the body. There

are three types of muscles; smooth muscles, skeletal
Muscles muscles and cardiac muscles.

You know now that there are organs and body parts with specific functions
that do the work needed to keep you alive.
