TEACHER’S LEARNING PLAN IN GRADE 9 SCIENCE

Activity No. 2
Activity Title: Mechanisms of Gas Exchange
Learning Targets: At the end of the lab. activity, the students CAN:
1. explain the mechanisms of gas exchange(oxygen and carbon dioxide) to and
from the body;
2.identify the mechanisms of gas exchange; and
3.illustrate how the respiratory system transports oxygen and carbon dioxide to and
from the different parts of the body through a flow chart.

an insightful life, it may be in the physical or cellular level.
In life, it takes a process for our desire to achieve whether it is a short term or a long
term goal. As a student or young individual, how do you make your desires
possible? What attitude should you possess in order to fulfill such desire?

2. As says in Genesis 2:7 God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living being. Just like in our life, we need air to breathe. And without it,
we will never be alive. Do you thank God every day that He has created the air for
us to live? Or do you take it lightly? Provide a t least 2 situations.
E. Mastery Exercises
Modified True or False
Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and False if it is otherwise.

Inhalation or inspiration is a breathing mechanism.

Exhalation or expiration is a breathing mechanism.

_______5. Rib cage gets expands as rib muscles contract
_______6.Diaphragm relaxes or moves up
_______7. Lungs become smaller or contract
_______8. The pressure within the chest cavity increases

have learned that it will only occur when the system works properly and when there
is enough supply of oxygen
