SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE IV

I. Objectives:

1. Describes the functions of the muscular system.

2. Illustrates how muscles are connected to the bones.

3. Explain/Demonstrates how muscles cause body movements.

II. Learning Content:

A. Topic: The Muscle – Bone Connection

How Muscles work

B. References: Science Teachers Guide, Curriculum Guide, Breaking Through Science p.

94-98

C. Materials: pictures, power point presentation, video clip, dissected frog.

D. Science Ideas:

a. Voluntary muscles are connected to bones.

b. Tendons connected muscles to bones.

c. Muscles work in pairs. When a muscle release, the other contracts.

The contraction and relaxation of the muscles produce
movement.

d. The skeletal and muscular systems coordinate with each other

enable the body to move.

E. Process Skills: Observing, inferring, demonstrating

F. Value Integration: Taking Care of the muscles.

III. Learning Tasks:

A. Engage

1. Prayer

2. Energizer

3. Review

Identify the kind of muscles.

1. 2. 3.

B. EXPLORE

1. Pre-viewing Activity

Have the pupils bend their arms and feel the tough tissue inside.
What do you call this tough tissue on your arm?
2. Video viewing

What are the standards to be followed in viewing?

Let the pupils view the video presentation.

C. EXPLAIN

3. Discussion/Analysis
 What is the first video about?
 Why we can move our bodies?
 How are muscles in our body arranged?
 In the second video, what happens when one muscle contract?
 In the third video, what is the relation between muscles and bones?
 What word have you heard that shows relationship between muscles and
bones?
 Give examples of muscle movements.
 Show the dissected frog and point out how muscles and bones connected
to each other.
 Have the pupils demonstrates some activities to show that muscles and
bones work in coordination with one another.

4. Generalization
 What connect the muscles to bones?
 How do muscles work?
 What is the relationship of muscles to bones?
- Tendons connect muscles to bones.
 - Muscles work in pairs. When a muscle relaxes, the other contracts.
The contraction and relaxation of the muscles produce
movement.

- The skeletal and muscular systems coordinate with each other

enable the body to move.

D. ELABORATE
