BIOLOGY

I. OBJECTIVES
Towards the end of the lesson, at least 80% of the students will be able
to:
 Gain factual knowledge on structure, parts and functions of the
heart.
 Know the circulation of blood to and from the heart.
 Appreciate the importance of the heart in the human body and
its significance on the overall function of the other organ
systems of the body.
 Learn to know how to take care of the heart.

III. PROCEDURES:

A. Preliminary activities (3 minutes)

1. Prayer
2. Review on the previous discussion (Respiratory system)

B. Motivation/Energizer (10 minutes)

1. The teacher will ask the students to find a partner (preferably girl to girl
and boy to boy)
2. Have the students locate their own pulse by placing their fingers on their
wrist. Instruct students that if they have felt a throb then they have located their
pulse. Instruct not to use their thumb then rationalize why.
3. Next allow the other partner to locate their partner’s pulse and vice versa.
4. Instruct on how to record their own pulse rate and their partner’s pulse
rate.
5. After recording their pulse rate “at rest”, allow students to do jogging in
place then record their pulse rate “after exercise”.
6. The teacher will then ask at least 2 students to present their corresponding
pulse rate on each activity that the teacher asked them to do.
o Guide Questions:
 What is your pulse rate while “at rest” and “after exercise”?
 Was your “at rest” pulse rate the same as your partners?
 Should everyone have the same pulse rate? Why or Why Not?
 How did exercising affect your pulse rate?

C. Activity (10 minutes)

1. The teacher will group the students into four groups.
2. Each group will be given cut outs on the structures of the heart/circulatory
system where blood flows.
3. The teacher will ask each group to arrange the given cut outs into the
correct sequence of blood flow of the heart.
4. A representative from each group will be asked to present their
corresponding output in front of the class.

D. Lesson Proper: (20 minutes)

D.1. Presentation of the lesson

 - The teacher presents the lesson to the students about the structure and
function of the heart, the circulation of blood in the human body, and ways to take
care of the heart.
- PowerPoint and video presentation
D.2. Activity
2.1. The teacher already grouped the students into four groups.
2.2 The teacher will give each group a picture on the different hazards that
may affect the heart’s functioning.

Group 1 - Smoking Group 2 – Poor Diet

Group 3 – Sedentary Lifestyle/Inactivity

Group 4 – Stress
D.3. Analysis
The teacher will give the guide question to each group:
a. Describe the picture that is assigned in your group and relate it on how
does it affect the function of your heart.
b. What are the ways to prevent these hazards of health? (e.g. ways to quit
smoking, what should be the proper diet)

D.4. Abstraction
The human heart is vital in sustaining homeostasis—the stability or
equilibrium in a biological system. In fact, the heart has a specific anatomy that aids
in this function. The way the heart is designed determines the path that blood must
take through it in order to be pumped around the body. The blood flow through the
heart were as follows: the unoxygenated blood flow from the systemic circulation to
the superior and inferior vena cava to the right atrium to the tricuspid valve down to
the right ventricle up to the pulmonary valve then through the left and right
pulmonary arteries to the lungs for re-oxygenation; from the lungs the oxygenated
blood enters the left and right pulmonary veins to the left atrium to the mitral valve
down to the left ventricle to the aortic valve then to the aorta and to the systemic
circulation. Since the heart is an important organ in our body, we must make sure to
take care of it through healthy lifestyle, healthy eating habits, and stress
management.

D.5. Application
Ask students to write in a ¼ sheet of paper their memorable experience
wherein they experienced a fast heartbeat and how did they manage to keep their
heartbeat back to its normal rate or how did they kept themselves calm and relax
again.
