Plan Date Quarter 4th

Content Standard The learner demonstrates the understanding of the digestive system and its
interaction with the circulatory, respiratory, and excretory systems in providing the
body with nutrients for energy.
Performance The learners should be able to present an analysis of the data gathered on diseases
Standard resulting from nutrient deficiency.
Learning Competency The learners should be able to:
 Explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation and excretion;
 Label the digestive tract
 Value the importance of having a healthy digestive system

I. Objectives
Identify the parts and function of the digestive system
Internalize the importance of each organs in processing the food
Trace the correct pathway of food inside the digestive system
II. Subject Matter
A. Topic Structures and Functions
Focus on the Digestive System
B. Concept  Digestion of food is carried out by the organs and substances of the digestive
system. During digestion, food is broken down to smaller parts a fraction of which
is made up of nutrients. These nutrients are circulated to the different parts of the
body through the bloodstream and assimilated by cells.
 The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract also called the GI
tract or digestive tract. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long,
twisting tube from mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI are
the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The
liver, pancreas and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.
 Almost all animals have a digestive system in which food enters the mouth, is
moved through a long tube, and exits the anus as feces. The food is broken down
into soluble molecules and is moved rhythmically by the smooth muscle in the
walls of the digestive system.
C. Processes Identifying, describing, explaining, defining and illustrating
D. Value Focus “Health is Wealth”
E. Materials Paper, Activity sheet, pen, pencil, manila paper, marker, cartolina and ballpen

Good morning class. Good morning Sir!

Elicit Class before you go to school you had your

breakfast right?

Please describe the breakfast you had before

the class, and try to guess what happened to
the food you ate.

What do you think is the organ system The organ system involve in the digestion of
involve in the digestion of your food? food is the digestive system.

Engage Now class, you are going to loop as many

words (organs) associated with the digestive
system.

In thisWlesson you will learn the functions
of organs that compose the digestive
system and how these organs work
together.
Explore This time, I will divide all of you into 4 groups
according to your interest and each group will
have their respective work.

Group 1 – the students will label the parts

and give the functions of each part of the
digestive system using a diagram and a
literature.

Group 2 – the students will solve a

jigsaw/picture puzzle of a human digestive
system, will identify each part and give their
functions with the help of a literature.

Group 3- the students will draw and identify

the parts and functions of the human
digestive system.

Group 4 –the students will play “A Gusty

Game” and answer the guide questions that
follow.
Explain Now, may I request the representative from
each group to present your respective
outputs. First to present is the group 1 to be
followed by 2, 3 and 4.

Elaborate Now, class we are going to watch a video

from youtube about digestive system please
take note the processes that takes place.

What makes the organs so important to us? The organs are important to us, for the
processing of the foods that we eat.

How do the organs of the digestive system Organs of the digestive system work together
work together? by serving the role of taking in nutrients,
eliminating waste and absorbing and using
the nutrients that we take in.

What do you think will happen if one part is It will not function normally and many
injured or damaged? unhealthy issues you may have with digestion
will occur.
Insufficient intake of nutrients can cause
nutrition disorders. These disorders may
cause health problems, especially in children,
which may hinder growth and development.
 How will you protect your body from By eating nutritious foods like fruits and
malnutrition and nutrient deficiency vegetables, avoiding vices like smoking,
disorders? drinking alcoholic beverages and stressful
activities. And doing light exercises like
walking and stretching.

Evaluate Matching type

Match the following functions (Column A)to its
respective organs (Column B) in the digestive
system.
Column A
1. Stores the stool from the colon
2. Propels or pushes food to the stomach
3. Ingests and chews food. 1.H
4. Absorbs breakdown products of 2.A
carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. 3.F
5. Produces bile for fat digestion and 4.C
elimination
6. Solidify the waste products by absorbing 5.G
water. 6.E
7. Secretes acid and enzymes that 7.D
transformed food into creamy fluid called chime. 8.B
8. An opening which solid waste passes and
eliminated.

Column B
A. Esophagus
B. Anus
C. Small intestine
D. Stomach
E. Large intestine
F. Mouth
G. Liver
H. Rectum
I. Pancreas

Indicate the missing parts to correct order of

the food pathway from ingestion to excretion.
