Looking Back
Humans have 5 sense organs that work together to help us know what is going
on around us. We have eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell, tongue to taste, and
skin to feel.
Identify the five sense organs by writing their names on the blank.

Brief Introduction
What do you think happens to the air as you breathe in? Why do you hear the
beating sound in your chest and rumbling sound in your tummy when hungry? Where
does the food that you eat go? Why can you understand the questions that you are
reading right now? What is there in your body?
Inside your body are organs with specific roles that contribute to their overall
well-being. An organ cannot work alone. The organs work together to keep your body
healthy.
Let us see how well-organized the internal organs are in the human body as
we go on with the lesson.

Activity 1: Brain Teasers

A. Directions: Every second letter in the box forms the name of the internal organ
being described. Color them yellow to reveal the answer.

1. It is a muscular organ that is located a little to the left of the

middle of your chest. It pumps the blood to all parts of your body
to provide it with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function.
g h f e t a b r o t

2. These are two bean-shaped organs that filter the blood

and remove liquid wastes in the form of urine and keep the
right level of salt and minerals in the body.
p k d i n d b n m e d y v s

2
3. It is found in the head and protected by the skull. It controls
balance and coordination; and regulates breathing,
heartbeat, and blood pressure. It also allows us to think
and have memories and feelings.
m b w r q a v i s n

4. It is a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either

side of the chest. They filter and purify the air that gets
in our body and remove carbon dioxide.
o l t u b n v g r s p

5. It is a large organ that sits on the right side of the

abdomen. It helps clean the blood, produces bile to
digest fats, and stores energy in the form of sugar.

B. Directions: Write the name of the internal organs in the empty rectangles below
the pictures. Then, write their functions in the arrow boxes under the
bridge. Choose the answers flashed on the computer monitor.

What You Need:
Manila paper, permanent
marker, crayons, scissors, tape

What to Do:
A. Human Body Model 1
1. Get a Manila paper. (If not available, you may use
any light-colored cartolina or 6 or more pieces of bond
paper pasted on a length about your height.)
2. Lie down on the paper and trace the outline of
your body with a permanent marker or black crayon.
3. Draw and label the organs in the right places on
your body outline as shown in figure 1.
B. Human Body Model 2
1. Get a clear plastic cover with the
same size as the paper used in Human
Model 1. (May reuse old plastic cover or
sando bags available at home.)
2. Place the plastic sheet on top of Figure
Model I and trace the body outline. 2
3. Draw the bones as shown in figure 2.

Activity 3: Simple Paper Bag Lungs

your parents or guardian.

What You Need:

2 paper bags of the same size
2 paper straws, Scotch/ masking tape,
black crayon or pentel pen

What to Do:
1. Label the paper bags left and right lung.
2. Draw the bronchioles and alveoli in the paper
bag using a black crayon or pentel pen.
3. Open the bags and insert 2-3” inches of the
paper straw in the paper bag.
4. Gather the top of the bag around the paper
straw and tape tightly.
5. Cross the straws and tape them together.
6. Blow air in and out the paper bag through the
paper straws.
Right Left 7. Observe what happens to the paper bag as you
blow air in and out through the paper straw.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What happens to the paper bag as you blow in and out air through the
paper straw?
2. How is the paper bag lung model similar to how our lungs breathe?

Lungs are two spongy organs protected by the ribcage. They filter the air
that gets in our body and remove carbon dioxide. Air flows into the lungs and into
the tiny tubes called bronchioles. Located at the tip of the bronchioles are the air
sacs called alveoli. These air sacs are surrounded by blood vessels where the
exchange of gases or respiration takes place.
As you breathe in, the air fills the lungs and makes them bigger just like the
paper bags. The lungs go back to their normal position as you breathe out.

LUNGS AND HEART

The heart is a muscular organ located between the lungs. The heart pumps
the blood carrying oxygen and nutrients along tubes called blood vessels around
the body.
The lungs and the heart work together to deliver oxygen to the different parts
of the body and remove carbon dioxide as a waste product. Without them, the body
will not receive the oxygen in order to grow, produce energy, and do its everyday
function.
BONES AND MUSCLES
The bones and the muscles work together to support and move the body.
The bones serve to protect the body's organs, hold the body upright, and shape the
body. The muscles are attached to the bones. They keep the bones in place and
pull them allowing body movement.

and contribute to the proper functioning of the body. Here are the specific jobs
of the major organs to keep the body alive and well:

controls our thoughts, memory, speech, balance and

BRAIN coordination, regulates breathing, eye movements, blood
pressure, heartbeat, and swallowing
pumps the blood to all parts of your body to provide it with

Reflection

Directions: Create your own comic strip. Choose the character icons and speech
bubbles that you like and draw them in the frame provided on page 9. Write a
dialogue to express how the major organs work together to make the body function

Hi, I am Rica. Comic strip is a form
of storytelling. It uses drawings or
characters to tell a story. The text is
normally inside the speech bubbles
or balloons like this.
