chair.

Are you done?

Yes, Sir!
You may now take your seat.

Checking of Attendance None, Sir.

Class secretary, is there any absent
today?

Very Good! I am glad to hear that no

one is absent today.

Checking of Assignment Yes, Sir.

“Did I gave you an assignment?”

“Pass your assignment to your leader.”

Review (Elicit)
Very good! Let us have a game. I am
going to play your kind of music and
then you will guess the title of each
song and I will also need a volunteer to
put the first letter of the title on the
board until we complete the word.
 _ _ _ _ _ CELL

Yes, we are ready, Sir!

Are you ready class?

The teacher will play the song

collections (one at a time) Sir the title of the first song is NAE
NAE.
The second title of the song is ELESI
What is the title of the first song? Third RAINBOW,
Fourth is VINDICATED.
How about the second song? The last title of the song is
EROPLANONG PAPEL.
And so on…

What is our hidden word?

Sir. The missing word is NERVE CELL

You got it! Very good!

Let’s proceed.

What are nerve cells? Nerve cells are the primary cells in the
nervous system. They are responsible for
relaying electrical messages to cells and
tissues in other organ systems. It is also
called as neurons.

Okay, what about the parts of the nerve

cells?
The three parts of the nerve cell/neuron
are the Dendrites, Soma/Cell body and
the Axon.
Can you give me the functions of each
part? DENDRITES – Carry impulses away
from the cell body
The teacher will call 3 students to
answer each function of: CELL BODY/SOMA – Is the center of
DENDRITES the nerve cell containing nucleus
CELL BODY/SOMA
AXON – Carries impulses away from
the cell body

Do you have any questions? None, Sir!

Motivation (Engage)

To continue I have here a “MYSTERY Sir! I would like to try.

BOX” containing different kinds of (Students will put their hands inside the
objects. Place your hand inside the box, hole).
touch the object and guess it.
I need 5 volunteers. Who would like to
try?

What can you say about the texture of

the object inside the box?

Can you identify what is inside the

box?

Okay, name it! The objects inside the “MYSTERY

BOX” are:
1. Grains of rice
2.monggo beans
3.rock salt
4. jelly ace
5.matches ticks
Nice try!
Let’s give them a perfect clap!

How did you identify the objects inside

the box easily? Sir, I used my sense of TOUCH in
identifying what kind of objects is inside
the box. By touching it. I can easily felt
and guessed what I’ve been touching.
That’s because of the information
coming from my sense of touch are

and clothes. The brain interpreted the impulse
perceived by the nerve cells

Pre- Activity (Explore)

1. Preparation of the materials

2. Discussion of the procedure
3. Giving precautionary
measures

Procedure:

The teacher will discuss the

procedures/mechanics of the game.

1. Form a team of 8-10 members

and compete with the other
groups in your class.
2. Among the members of the
group, assign who will represent
the following parts Brain,
Sensory Neurons and Motor
Neuron.
3. Have the “Brain” stand at one at
the back, then the “Organ” at
the other end near the
blackboard.
 4. Let three to four members
representing “Sensory Neuron”
stand and line up between the
“Brain” and the “Organ”. The teacher will show the illustration
Another set of three to for with the correct position of the
members representing “Motor participants,
Neurons” will stand and line up
facing the “Sensory Neuron”
5. Refer to the following
illustrations to see how you will
position yourselves in the game.
6. Your teacher will show a card
to the first member of the group
B
who is the “Organ”. Each card
sensory sensory sensory
will depict a situation of a O neuron neuron
neuron
stimulus affecting an organ.
7. The “Organ” must pass the A
message to one “Sensory R
Neuron” by whispering. Organ Brain
8. Each member who receives the D
message must relay it to another
until it reaches the last “Sensory sensory sensory sensory
Neuron” neuron neuron neuron
9. Let the last person in the group
“Sensory Neuron” group run to
the “Brain” to communicate the
message that was transmitted
from the “Organ”
10. The “Brain” must think of a
reaction to the stimulus
presented and pass this response
to the “Motor Neurons”
11. Each member of the “Motor
Neuron” group who receives the
response from the brain, must
relay it to another until it
reaches the last person in the
group
12. The “Organ” will receive this
response though the “Motor
Neurons” and run quickly to the
board to write the response.
13. The team with the most
acceptable answer and the
shortest time of trip will win the
game

Any questions regarding the game

mechanics?

messages or situations. (Organ from team A and B will come in
front).
Let us start the game for round 1. At
the count of 3 the organ will start
passing the message to the sensory
neuron 1, 2, 3, Go!
(the organs will pass the message to
first sensory neuron)
Repeat the rounds 2-5 with the same
mechanics.

Post- Activity /Discussion

(ELABORATE)

After enjoying the game, kindly get

your activity notebook and answer the
following questions:

1. How does the brain receive the

information from the receptor?
2. What does the brain do as soon
as it receives the information?
The brain receives the information
thorough the sensory neurons that
transmit the message from one neuron to
another.

3. How will you differentiate the As soon as the brain receives the
sensory and motor neuron based information, it processes the message
on their functions? and come up with a response to be sent
through the neurons.

4. Why does the damage in the
nervous system cause paralysis
of the body?
5. What public health care
program in our country are
geard towards dealing with
health issues concerning Mental
Health issues?
The sensory neurons transmit impulses
from the receptor to the brain while the
motor neurons transmit impulse from the
brain to the effector.
Any damage in the nervous system
affects the function of the other body
parts, since messages are not properly
transmitted throughout the body.

“Does the brain stops functioning when

we are sleeping?”

“That’s right!”

“How does the brain stimulates in

human development?”

“Very good!”
