III. Procedure:
Preliminary Activities:
 Greetings
 Classroom conditioning
 Checking of attendance

A. Motivation/Drill/Review:
Display the Periodic Table of Elements
Pick a symbol that you recognize.
1. What element does it represent, and what is the element’s atomic number?
Answer: Student answer may vary.
2. What Letter Is Not Found on the Periodic Table?
Answer:
a. The letter "J" is the only one not found on the periodic table.
b. Note that the letter "Q" does not appear in any official element names.No element name starts
with Q and no official element name contains this letter
B. Vocabulary Development/Unlocking of Difficulties
Word Banking: What makes an element “essential”?
Answer:
 An essential element is one that is required for life and whose absence results in death.
 An element is considered to be essential if a deficiency consistently causes abnormal
development or functioning and if dietary supplementation of that element—and only that
element—prevents this adverse effect
C. Lesson Proper/Presentation of the Lesson
1. Begin the lesson by telling your students that everything they see, including themselves, contains
different elements. In fact, they depend on elements throughout every day of their lives to stay alive.
2. Briefly Introduce the lesson by starting with the “Elements of Life”
 What Elements are we made of
 What does the symbol mean?

T.N. Of the approximately 118 elements known, only the 19 highlighted in purple in Figure 1 are
absolutely
required in the human diet. These elements—called essential elements—are restricted to the first
four
rows of the periodic table, with only two or three exceptions (molybdenum, iodine, and possibly
tin in
the fifth row). Some other elements are essential for specific organisms.

3. Discuss some of the elements that are essential to human using the periodic table.
Example: Boron (B) is required for the growth of certain plants, Bromine (Br) is widely distributed in
marine organisms, and Tungsten (W) is necessary for some microorganisms.

4. Let the students individually perform the activity, “ Human Body Eelements”. See the attached
activity.

Legend:
Hydrogen (9.5%)

Carbon (18..5%)

Oxygen (65%)

Nitrogen (3.2%)

Major elements:
Ca, P, K, S, Na,
Cl,
Mg (4%)
Trace elements
(Less than 1%)
 5. After the learners conducted the activity, the teacher facilitates the discussion using guided
questions provided on the activity.

D. Discussion (Indicate questions that will elicit answers from the students. Use HOTS as basis for formulating
questions)

Guide Questions:
1. What are some elements that you depend on each day?
2. Can you name the elements in the human body and what they do?
 Nearly 99% of the mass of your human body consists of just 6 chemical elements: oxygen,
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
 Another 5 elements make up most of the last percentage point: potassium, sulfur, sodium,
chlorine, and magnesium.

activities for remediation
C. Did the remedial lessons work? No. of
learners who caught up with the lesson
D. No. of learners who continue to
require remediation.
E. Which of my teaching strategies

F. What difficulties did I encounter which
my principal or supervisor can help me
solve?
G. What innovation or localized materials

with other teachers?

V. Assignment
It is important that learners use their knowledge about the properties of elements and materials when
creating new technologies or products.Pick one item in your home and list its properties. Imagine
what that object would be like if it were made using entirely different materials.

READING PASSAGE:

Many of the elements found throughout nature are also found within the body. This is the chemical composition of
the average adult human body in terms of elements and also compounds.

Major Classes of Compounds in the Human Body

Most of the elements are found within compounds. Water and minerals are inorganic compounds. Organic
compounds include fat, protein, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
 Water: Water is the most abundant chemical compound in living human cells, accounting for 65 percent to 90
percent of each cell. It's also present between cells. For example, blood and cerebrospinal fluid are mostly
water.
 Fat: The percentage of fat varies from person to person, but even an obese person has more water than fat.
 Protein: In a lean male, the percentages of protein and water are comparable. It's about 16 percent by mass.
Muscles, including the heart, contain a lot of muscle. Hair and fingernails are protein. Skin contains a large
amount of protein, too.
 Minerals: Minerals account for about 6 percent of the body. They include salts and metals. Common minerals
include sodium, chlorine, calcium, potassium, and iron.
 Carbohydrates: Although humans use the sugar glucose as an energy source, there isn't that much of it free
in the bloodstream at any given time. Sugar and other carbohydrates only account for about 1% of body
mass.
Elements in the Human Body
Six elements account for 99% of the mass of the human body. The acronym CHNOPS may be used to help remember
the six key chemical elements that are used in biological molecules. C is carbon, H is hydrogen, N is nitrogen, O is
oxygen, P is phosphorus, and S is sulfur. While the acronym is a good way to remember the identities of the elements,
it doesn't reflect their abundance.
 Oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body accounting for approximately 65% of a person's
mass. Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom, but the mass of
each oxygen atom is much higher than the combined mass of the hydrogen. In addition to being a component
of water, oxygen is essential for cellular respiration.
 Carbon is contained in all organic compounds, which is why carbon is the second most abundant element in
the body, accounting for about 18% of body mass. Carbon is found in proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and
nucleic acids. It's also found in carbon dioxide.
 Hydrogen atoms are the most numerous type of atom in a human, but because they are so light, they only
make up around 10% of the mass. Hydrogen is in water, plus it's an important electron carrier.
 Nitrogen is about 3.3% of body mass. It's found in proteins and nucleic acids.
 Calcium accounts for 1.5% of body mass. It's used to build bones and teeth, plus it's important for muscle
contraction.
 Phosphorus is about 1% of body mass. This element is found in nucleic acids. Breaking bonds connecting
phosphate molecules is a major component of energy transfer.
 Potassium is around 0.2-0.4% of the mass of a person. It's used in nerve conduction. Potassium is a key cation
or positively-charged ion in the body.
 Sulfur is found in some amino acids and proteins. It's about 0.2-0.3% of body mass.
 Sodium, like potassium, is a positively-charged ion. It's about 0.1-0.2% of body mass. Sodium helps regulate
the electrolyte balance in the body and maintain homeostasis with respect to the volume of water in the
blood and cells.
 Although aluminum and silicon are abundant in the earth's crust, they are found in trace amounts in the
human body.
 Other trace elements include metals, which are often cofactors for enzymes (e.g., cobalt for vitamin B 12).
Trace elements include iron, cobalt, zinc, iodine, selenium, and flourine.
