on the board and write your answer on the board. Major Parts of the Digestive System Objective: At the end of the lesson, the leaners should be able to:
a. Describe the functions of the
major parts of the digestive system. b. Identify the major parts of the digestive system. Digestive System Breaks down food to simple forms of molecules (digestions), small enough to be absorbed and used by the cells of the body (absorption). Unabsorbed substances are eliminated as stool (elimination) Activity 2: LABEL ME Instructions: Label the major parts of the digestive system, after that each group will have one representative to discuss the function of the different organs. THE MAJOR PARTS OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 1. Mouth 2. Esophagus 3. Stomach 4. Small intestine 5. Large intestine 1. MOUTH Digestion starts in the mouth. We put the food in it to be soften and chewed through the help of saliva and teeth. 2. ESOPHAGUS Esophagus is to carry food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach. When you swallow, food and liquid first move from your mouth to your throat (pharynx). 3. STOMACH The stomach holds the food and mixes it with acid and enzymes that continue to break the food down into a liquid or paste. 4. SMALL INTESTINE Small intestine is to break down food, absorb nutrients needed for the body, and get rid of the unnecessary components. 5. LARGE INTESTINE Large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food and get rid of any waste products left over. Activity 3: Instructions: NO TRAFFIC! Each group will be given a box with descriptions of the functions of each part of the digestive system. Each member will pick out a description and deliver it with the appropriate name of the organ on the floor. The five members will take turns delivering the descriptions to the organs. When the ideas are matched appropriately, the 5 leaners will hold on to each other’s waist and run through the route on the floor from the mouth to the large interior. The group that finishes first will be declared the winner. ACTIVITY 4: PLEASE FOOD IN LINE! Activity 4: PLEASE FOOD IN LINE! Instructions: 1. The class is divided into six organ. 2. The students will re-enact what happens to food in every part of the digestive system. 3. Some student act as the food. Assignment:
