 INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE
Now, more than ever, the academic community faces new challenges brought about by the health
crisis. With this recognition, the Department of Education (DepEd), through its Basic Education Learning
Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) identified different learning delivery modalities to ensure learning even without face-
to-face instruction in the classroom. One such modality is the Modular Distance Learning (MDL), where self-
learning modules or SLMs are to be used as primary learning resources.

Valuing this need and to fortify opportunities, Pres. Quirino Treasured Child School, Inc. gives life to
Enhanced Learning Module (ELM). This is our response to the call for quality instructional resources in
varying learning delivery modalities. It features to the non-negotiable attributes of self-learning modules,
namely interactive, self-implementing, self-instructional, and compact. Our ELMs are also complaint to the
learning timeframe recommended in the DepEd Order No. 1, s. 2021.

Moreover, the ELMs are developed based on the K to 12 curriculum guides (2016). They are also
enhanced with resources in digital forms and additional contents that further engage, support, and challenge
the learners. The learning examples and opportunities within the ELMs address the six facets of the Filipino
whole learner: healthy, safe, engaged, supported, challenged and value-oriented.

After completing the discussions, activities, and exercises in the ELMs, it is hoped that the learners
become more creative and critical thinkers, life and career-ready, healthy and holistically developed. An
integral part of our aspiration is that they become lifelong learners while the PQTCS stays true to its mission in
creating quality learning solutions.

The elements of the ELMs are consistent with those stated in the DepEd Self-Learning Modules
Framework. These are as follows:

1. Introduction – Each ELMs starts with an overview of the topic or content to be covered in the module.
2. Pre-Test – This provides test items that check the learner’s prior knowledge of the lessons.
3. Target – This presents the learning objectives that are based on the K-12 learning competencies and standards.
4. Optimize – This allows the learners to review and revisit previously learned concepts.
5. Capture – This provides the learner with activities that jumpstart the discussion.
6. Navigate – This provides clear and concise discussion of the content to sufficiently develop the intended learning
competencies.
7. Enrich – Learner’s understanding of the concepts and skills are reinforced through guided and independent activities/
assessments.
8. Focus – This allows the learner to summarize and synthesize key ideas presented in the lessons.
9. Apply – This engages the learner in tasks that will enable him\her to transfer the knowledge and skills learned to real
life situations, issues and problems.
10. Post-Test – This end-of-module assessment evaluates the learner’s level of mastery in achieving the learning targets.

For the learner, the following are some reminders in using this ELM:

1. Use the module with care.

2. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
3. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks.
4. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this ELM, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.

We hope that through this ELM, you will experience meaningful learning and gain deep understanding
of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

 INTRODUCTION

Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you see your eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and
skin? What do you call these body parts?

In this module, you will learn about the sense organs. As you proceed with
each lesson, you will understand and be able to appreciate them as they can help
you observe and name things around you.

How are you feeling at the moment? Before working on this module together
with your parent/guardian, make sure you are rested and have eaten your meal.
Choose a learning area in your home that is well-lighted and well-ventilated.
Prepare your pen, crayon, and notebook. An Internet connection will also help you
maximize your learning.

Have fun working on this module! Cheers to your learning journey!

 PRE-TEST

How much do you know about the sense organs? Look at the picture on the
left. Read the words describing an action. Tell the sense organ needed to carry
out the action. Circle this sense organ in the pictures on the right.

After taking this pre-test, let it be checked by your parent/guardian. What

is your score? Be guided with the following:
