II. CURRICULAR STATEMENT

Develops various dimensions of factual, conceptual, procedural, metacognitive
knowledge, process skills and attitude on the salivary glands by observation,
meaningful verbal expression and evaluation by questioning and presenting group
activities.

III. CONTENT ANALYSIS

a) Terms

Salivary glands, mucus, salivary amylase, lysozyme.

b) Facts
Enzymes in saliva helps in digestion.
There are 3 pairs of salivary glands.
When saliva is tested by using a PH paper, the paper becomes blue coloured.

c) Concepts
When food reaches the mouth, salivary glands secrete more saliva.
Saliva dissolves the food.
Mucus, salivary amylase, lysozyme etc are present in the saliva.

d) Learning outcomes in terms of specifications

Enables the pupils to develop.
1. Factual knowledge on the salivary glands by
Remembering the new terms like salivary glands, mucus, lysozyme etc
Identifying the different types of salivary glands.

2. Conceptual knowledge on the salivary glands by

Eliciting the components of saliva and their functions.
Recognizing the three pairs of salivary glands.

3. Procedural knowledge on the salivary glands by

Observing the position of the 3 pairs of salivary glands.
Understanding the composition and nature of saliva.
2

4. Metacognitive knowledge on salivary glands by

Try to understanding the production of saliva in other organisms.
5. Different skills like
Observing the position of salivary glands.
Analyzing the components of saliva.
Presenting the ideas of group discussion.

6. Scientific attitude towards

The systemic position of salivary glands.
Know the role of saliva in digestion of food.

IV. PRE-REQUISITES
Pupils know that
When we think of favorite food our mouth salivates.
Saliva helps to lubricate the food and facilitates swallowing.

V. TEACHING LEARNING RESOURCES

ppt showing the different salivary glands.
Chart showing the components of saliva and their functions.
Activity card with indicators.

1) PREPARATION
Teacher begins the class by showing a picture of
Icecream and choclates and asks.

do you feel now?

-Feeling

hungry, water

CLASSROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE

-Why did your mouth start watering?

Yes, the mouth start watering because of your favorite
food. It is because of production of saliva.
-Where is saliva produced?

Then ok , are you ready for learn about salivary glands and
its functions.

comes from mouth.

-The food items are favorite one.

-Saliva is produced in the salivary glands.

-Yes

2. PRESENTATION
In last class we have seen that teeth helps in chewing the
food. Saliva helps to lubricate the food materials . Saliva
are produced by salivary glands located inside the mouth.
Students listen carefully
Let see the presentation.

mouth.
The components of saliva are
Which is the enzyme that destroy the
microorganisms in food?
What is the function of mucus?

VII. FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY

1. Make a short note on salivary glands?

-Salivary gland.
-mucus, salivary amylase and
lysozyme.
-Lysozyme.
-It conducts the food smoothly
through the oesophagus.
