DETAILED LESSON PLAN

in
SCIENCE 8
I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate the understanding of the digestive system and its
interaction with the circulatory, respiratory, and excretory systems in providing
the body with nutrients for energy.
B. Performance Standard The learners should be able to present an analysis of the data gathered on
diseases resulting from nutrient deficiency.
C. Learning Explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation, and excretion.
Competencies/Objectives Specific Objectives:
1. Identify the organs that make up the digestive system
2. Give the function of each organ
3. Describe how some accessory organs and glands help the body in the
digestive process.

lesson or presenting a
new lesson To formally start our class this day, let’s have first a
prayer.

Are you all present? Yes Sir!

Very good.

B. Establishing a purpose Today you will be able to identify the organs that make
for the lesson up the digestive system, give the function of each organ,
and describe how some accessory organs and glands
help the body in the digestive process.

What is the video all about?

D. Discussing new What come on your mind if you hear the word
concepts and practicing “Digestion”?
new skills #1
Digestion- is the complex process of turning the food
you eat into nutrients, which the body uses for energy,
growth, and cell repair needed to survive. The digestion
process also involves creating waste to be eliminated.
Digestive System
What organ system is responsible for this function?

Now, let’s take a journey to our Digestive System.

Food’s Journey
through the Digestive
system

Stop 1: The Mouth

The mouth is
the beginning of the digestive system, and in fact,
digestion starts here before you even take the first bite
of a meal. Mouth

What part of our digestive system digestion begins? (Answers may vary)

Where do you think the food after you chew it?

Stop 2: The Pharynx and Esophagus

Also called the throat, the pharynx is the portion
of the digestive tract that receives the food from your
mouth.
The esophagus is a muscular tube extending from Esophagus
the Pharynx and behind the trachea to the stomach.

What do you call a tube that extend from the pharynx to

the stomach?

Stop 3: The Stomach and Small Intestine

The stomach is a sac-like organ with strong
muscular walls. In addition, to hold food, it serves as It serves as the
the mixer and grinder of food. mixer and grinder of
food.
What is the function of the stomach?

From there the food moves to the small intestine.

 The small intestine is the “workhorse” of digestion, as Small Intestine
this is where most nutrients are absorbed.

Which part of the digestive system total digestion takes

place?

Stop 4: The Colon, Rectum, and Anus

The colon (large intestine) is a five to seven foot-
long muscular tube that connects the small intestine to Large Intestine
the rectum.

Where did the undigested food will go?

The rectum is an eight-inch chamber that connects

the colon to the anus. The rectum: receives stool from
the colon, lets the person know there is stool to be Receives stool from
evacuated, and holds the stool until evacuation happens. the colon.
The anus is the last part of the digestive tract.
Passageway of
What is the function of the rectum? stool.

How about the anus?

If none, we will proceed to the accessory parts.

E. Discussing new
concepts and practicing
new skills #2 Liver

Gallbladder Pancreas

Pancreas- Although the pancreas is mostly known for

its blood sugar regulatory function with the production
of insulin. The pancreas makes a digestive juice that has
enzymes that breaks down carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins.
Pancreas
What accessory organ regulate the blood sugar?

Liver- the largest glandular organ of the body located at

the right side of the upper abdomen. The main function
of the liver is the production of bile. Liver
Produces bile.
What is the largest organ of the body?
What is its function?

*bile performs two important function in digestion:

1. emulsification of fats
 2. neutralization of partly digested food that comes from
the stomach
Emulsification of
Why bile is important? fats
Neutralization of
partly digested food
that comes from the
stomach

Gallbladder- A muscular pouch beneath the liver that

stored bile.
Yes Sir.
Can you name the parts of the digestive system?
Yes Sir.
How about its accessory organs?

digestive system from the picture below. Write only the
letter.

B. Matching type
Direction: match the accessory organ of the digestive
system by matching column A with column B. write the
letter only.
