Date: ____________
I. Objective:
Identifies the respiratory system and its major parts
Values:

Care for the environment, cooperation

II. Subject Matter:

The Respiratory System
A. Science Concept/Idea:
Respiration is the process by which the human body takes in oxygen, oxidizes to unlock the
stored energy, and releases carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The respiratory system is the energy department of the human body.
The respiratory organs include the nostrils, the trachea, the bronchial tubes and the lungs.
The nostrils allow air to pass in and out of the body.
B. Science Processes:
Observing, describing, inferring
C. Materials:
Diagram showing the respiratory organs, insects e. g. butterfly, housefly, and spiders
References:
Into the Future: Science and Health 5
III. Procedure:
A. Preparatory Activities:
a. Review
Name the different organs of the reproductive system.
b. Checking of Assignment
c. Motivation
Tell the pupils to press their noses with their forefinger. Ask, "What have you felt?
Get two empty bottles and two insects (butterfly, crickets, housefly).
Place each of them in an empty bottle. Punch a hole on the cover of one bottle so air
could enter.
The bottle is closed tightly. Observe what will happen to the insect. Ask: Why did the
insect in the closed bottle die?
B. Presentation:
1. Introduce the word respiration
2. Let the pupils study the illustration of the respiratory system.
3. Ask them to point to the different organs in the diagram.
4. Group the pupils into three
Group I
- Name the different organs of the respiratory system
Group II - Name the body parts that protect the lungs
Group III - Name the parts of the lungs

C. Concept Formation:
Each group will present their work.
What are the vital organs for respiration?
D. Application:
Now you know that the respiratory system takes care of our breathing. Air is very important
for our respiratory system to function. How can we have a clean air to exhale?
IV. Evaluation:
Labeling the parts of the respiratory system
V. Assignment:
Draw the organs of the reproductive system n-your notebook and label its parts
