LESSON PLAN

Subject: Science
Grade Level: 6-8
Time Request: 45 minutes

Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. State the Parts of the Respiratory System
2. Describe the Function of Respiratory System.

Materials:
 Diagram of the Respiratory System
 Handout

A. Procedure:
Begin by asking the students if they ever thought about how they breathe or what
happens when they take a breath.
-Instruct the student to do inhale and exhale ask them how they feel as they do the
breathing pattern or procedure.
Explain that today they will be learning about the Respiratory System and how it will
help us breath.

 PRAYER Okay po Sir (in the name of the Father, of the Son
Just lead the prayer Mr./Mrs._____ and the Holy Spirit, Amen)

 GREETINGS Good morning, Teacher, thank you sir.

Okay, Good Morning, Student, you may have a
seat.

 CHECKING OF ATTENDANCE Present Sir!

Say present if you are here.

1. RECALL
Ok class, let’s first try to recall our lesson last Circulatory System
meeting.
What was our last lesson last meeting? The parts of your circulatory system are your:
1. What are the 3 major parts of Circulatory Heart, Blood vessels, Blood.
System? Heart, a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout
2. What is the function of the heart? your body.

Motivation:
Before I will start our lesson for today. I want you to I can feel the air coming out from my nose.
do is stand straight, do inhale exhale.
What do you feel? Is there anyone having hard time Yes!Maam I’m doing nebulization at night!
breathing here? Is there someone is having asthma here
or even cough? Air is important for living things.
Why do we breathe? What is the importance of air in our The air we breathe not only helps us stay alive.
body?

Later on, I will show you a diagram of a lung. And I want

you to differentiate which one is healthy and not.

Presentation: Right maam!

After the explanation of respiration, the teacher should
show the students the picture of the healthy lung vs. the
unhealthy lung.
Can anyone differentiate which lung is healthy?

Respiratory System

Be quiet and listen maam!

Base on the picture what do you think our topic for

today?

Very Good! Exactly our lesson for today is about

Respiratory System
I want you to come in front one by one to and label the
parts of the Respiratory System.

DISCUSSION:

These are the parts:

Nose
Mouth
Throat (pharynx)
 Voice box (larynx)
Windpipe (trachea)
Large airways (bronchi)
Small airways (bronchioles)
Lungs.

What is the respiratory system?

The respiratory system is the network of organs and
tissues that help you breathe. It includes your airways,
lungs and blood vessels. The muscles that power your
lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts
work together to move oxygen throughout the body and
clean out waste gases like carbon dioxide.

The lungs are one of the largest organs in the body and
allow you to take in oxygen and breath out carbon
dioxide.

The lungs are located in the chest and take up a large

amount of space. The thoracic cavity (ribs) protects the
lungs.

Underneath the lungs is the diaphragm. The diaphragm

helps the lungs inhale (breath in) and exhale (breath out).

The lungs are not the same size; the left lung is slightly
smaller because it needs to allow for room for the heart.

What does the respiratory system do?

The respiratory system has many functions. Besides
helping you inhale (breathe in) and exhale (breathe out),
it:

-Allows you to talk and to smell.

-Warms air to match your body temperature and
moisturizes it to the humidity level your body needs.
-Delivers oxygen to the cells in your body.
-Removes waste gases, including carbon dioxide, from
the body when you exhale.
-Protects your airways from harmful substances and
irritants.

What are the parts of the respiratory system?

The respiratory system has many different parts that
work together to help you breathe. Each group of parts
has many separate components.

Your airways deliver air to your lungs. Your airways are

a complicated system that includes your:

Mouth and nose: Openings that pull air from outside

your body into your respiratory system.
Sinuses: Hollow areas between the bones in your head
that help regulate the temperature and humidity of the air
you inhale.
Pharynx (throat): Tube that delivers air from your
mouth and nose to the trachea (windpipe).
Trachea: Passage connecting your throat and lungs.
Bronchial tubes: Tubes at the bottom of your windpipe
that connect into each lung.
Lungs: Two organs that remove oxygen from the air and
pass it into your blood.
From your lungs, your bloodstream delivers oxygen to all
your organs and other tissues.

Muscles and bones help move the air you inhale into and
out of your lungs. Some of the bones and muscles in the
respiratory system include your:

Diaphragm: Muscle that helps your lungs pull in air and

push it out.
Ribs: Bones that surround and protect your lungs and
heart.

When you breathe out, your blood carries carbon dioxide

and other waste out of the body.
Other components that work with the lungs and blood
vessels include:

Alveoli: Tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of

oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
Bronchioles: Small branches of the bronchial tubes that
lead to the alveoli.
Capillaries: Blood vessels in the alveoli walls that move
oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Lung lobes: Sections of the lungs — three lobes in the
right lung and two in the left lung.
Pleura: Thin sacs that surround each lung lobe and
separate your lungs from the chest wall.
Some of the other components of your respiratory system
include:
Cilia: Tiny hairs that move in a wave-like motion to filter
dust and other irritants out of your airways.
Epiglottis: Tissue flap at the entrance to the trachea that
closes when you swallow to keep food and liquids out of
your airway.
Larynx (voice box): Hollow organ that allows you to
talk and make sounds when air moves in and out.

Generalization:
1. The teacher will summarize the main points
of the lesson and ask the students to reflect
on what they have learned.
2. The teacher will ask the students to share one
thing they learned about the respiratory
system.

The final assessment will be for the students to answer

the question:

Think about what you learned in class today about the

respiratory system.
Why is our respiratory system important?
Why do we have lungs?
What is so special about the size of the left lung? What is
the difference between external and internal respiration?

Appropriate answers should include (but will vary):

Our respiratory system is important because it allows us

to take in air and breath our carbon dioxide. Without our
respiratory system, we would not be able to breath. Our
lungs fill up with air and then exhale carbon dioxide. Our
left lung, in relation to our right lung, is smaller. The
reason it is smaller is because there needs to be room for
the heart. External respiration is the process of bringing
air into and out of the lungs, exchanging gases for air.
Internal respiration is the exchange of gases within the
cells of the body organs, cells, and tissues.

If there is additional time, discuss any additional

questions the students may have.
