2. Presentation:
Show the pupils a picture of a human body with no bones. Then ask: “What
would we look like if we have no bones in our body?” Let the pupils touch and feel
their bones and tell something about these bones.
3. Developmental Activity: Each group will receive pictures of internal organs, bones,
and a human body . Learners will pair the bones and the internal organs they protect.
After pairing, they will place the pair on what part of the human body they are found.
 Grouping of Pupils
 Setting of Standards
 Performing the activity
 Reporting
4. Discussion:
-Show pictures of these bones that protect the internal organs and explain
the function of each.
C. Generalization:
1. What are the functions of the bones?
2. What are the bones that protect the internal organs?
D. Application:
On column A are the pictures of our internal organs and on column B are the
different protective bones we have. Match the protective bones column B with the
internal organs they protect on column A. draw a line in matching.
E. Value Integration:
What should we do to take care of our bones?
IV. EVALUATION:
Describe the functions of the bones by naming the bones who protect the internal
organs shown in each number. Choose your answers from the box.
