concepts and For this one, I will group you into
practicing new three. Please count one to two starting
skills from this side.
(EXPLORE)
Now, who are the group 1, please
stand… group 2…group 3?
Please gather with your groupmates
and choose your leader.
Group leaders please come forward.
I have here a manila paper with
materials for your activity. For the
sake of clarity, I will just give the
instructions ahead.
Together with your groupmates, you
will do the task I provided for each of
the group. Write your answers on the
manila paper and post them on the
board. After that I will check if your
answers are correct and clear the
misconceptions if there is so.
Group 1
ACTIVITY: UNSCRAMBLE ME!
Directions. Unscramble the letters to
form the terms that are being
described.
1. NARIB - This is an organ located
within the skull that functions as
organizer and distributor of
information for the body.
2. SIPANL DORC - this serves as a
channel for signals between the brain
and the rest of the body, and controls
simple musculoskeletal reflexes
without input from the brain.
3. ECERBURM - large, upper part of
the brain that controls activity and
thought.
4. RONSNEU - specialized cells that
transmit messages to and from the
brain and spinal cord to other parts of
the body.
5. LECL DOBY - it is the support
center of the neuron.
Group 2
Activity: Which Belongs to the
Group?
Students will be given printed pictures
and they will distinguish which organs
belong to the nervous system. They
will then paste their output on the
manila paper and post in on the board.
Group 3
Activity: Which is Which?
Two functions of an organ system will
be given and students will tell which
of the two refers to the function of the
nervous system.
SET 1
1. It exchanges gases between the
external environment and the blood.
2. It gathers information from the
outside world and from the inside of
the body.
SET 2
1. It transmits information to the
processing areas in the brain and
the spinal cord.
2. It produces hormones that regulate
the activities of the cells and
organisms.
SET 3
1. It processes information to
determine the best response.
2. It digests and absorbs nutrients from
the food.
SET 4
1. It maintains posture and position of
the body.
2. It sends information to muscles,
glands and organs so they can
respond correctly.

F. Developing (Discussion proper)
mastery
(EXPLAIN) -The theory of homeostasis was first
introduced by Claude Bernard, a
French Physiologist in the year 1865,
-The term was first used in 1926 by
Walter Bradford Cannon.
-originates from the Greek word
meaning 'staying the same'.
The regulation of homeostasis
depends on three mechanisms:
-Receptor - the sensing component
responsible for monitoring and
responding to changes in the external
or internal environment.
-Control Center - also known as the
integration center. It receives and
processes information from the
receptor.
-Effector - responds to the commands
of the control center. It could either
oppose or enhance the stimulus.
“Our body is designed in such a way
that all organs and organs systems
work together in order to maintain
homeostasis.”
“Anyone who can explain what is “Sir, Homeostasis is our stable internal
homeostasis?” environment.”
“Very good! Thank you for your
answer!”
“How about the examples of
homeostasis, who can give example of “Sir, temperature regulation”
homeostasis?
“Correct! Very good!
“One of the best example of
homeostasis is the body temperature
regulation (thermoregulation).
Thermoregulation is the ability of an
organism to keep its body temperature
within certain boundaries, even when
the surrounding temperature is very
different.”
“Homeostasis is a process by which
all living things maintain relatively
stable internal environment.”
“What do you think is the meaning of (students answer may vary)
stable internal environment?”
“Meaning to say homeostasis is
reached or achieved when each part of
the body functions in equilibrium or in
balance with other parts.”
“Anyone who can give example that “Sir, our glucose or sugar level is an
shows example of homeostasis or example that shows homeostasis or
when there is an equilibrium or balance.”
balance in terms of internal body
function?”
“What do you think we must maintain ”Sir, because it may lead to diseases
a balance or equal sugar/glucose level such as diabetes”
at all times?”
“Very good! Thank you for
answering!
“Yes, Sir”
“Class, do you follow?”
“Good!”
“All of our organ systems are
controlled by the nervous system,
while the endocrine system secretes
hormones that regulate all the body`s
activities.”
“But for today we are only going to
focus on one organ system which is
the nervous system.”
“Yes, Sir”
“Are you familiar with the nervous
system?”
“Brain, Sir! “
“Can you give me the parts of the
nervous system?”
“Correct! Very good!”
“Spinal cord, sir”
“What else aside from brain?
“Correct! Very good!”
(answers may vary)
“What do you think is the function of
the brain?”
“The brain as we know is the master
organ of the body. “
(Answer may vary)
“Why do you think it is called as the
master organ of the body?”
“It controls almost all bodily functions
even if we are awake or not. Our body
responds to the environment
automatically and these responses are
needed in order for us to survive.”
“The nervous system is divided into
two, which is the central nervous
system and the peripheral nervous
system.”
“Sir, Central nervous system”
“Again, What is the two major
division of the nervous system?”
“Sir, The Peripheral nervous system”
“Aside from the central nervous
system, what is the other division?”
“Very Good! Both of your answers
are correct”
“These two systems work together to
transmit and process sensory
information, and then coordinate these
to different bodily functions.
Examples of our bodily functions are
writing notes, cooking, and dancing.”
“Singing, doing household chores,
“Can you give other example another watching TV, browsing on the internet”
example of our bodily functions?”
“Correct! Very good!”
“Yes, Sir”
“Class are you still there?”
“CNS consists of the brain and the
spinal cord, while the PNS is made up
of nerves and the sensory organs.”
“Sir, Brain and spinal cord”
“What are the components of the
central nervous system?”
“Very good!”
“Nerves and sensory organs, sir”
“How about the peripheral nervous
system?”
“Correct! Thank you!”
“We will focus on the three main parts
of the brain which are the cerebrum,
brain stem, and cerebellum”
“Cerebrum, brain stem, cerebellum”
“Again, what are three main parts of
the brain?”
“Correct! Very good!”
“Cerebrum - the major outer part of
the brain. It is responsible for sensing,
thinking, learning, emotions, and
voluntary movement. It also controls
the five senses.”
“Cerebellum -At the back part of the
brain. It controls balance and fine
muscle movement.”
“Brain stem -At the bottom of the
brain. The brain stem controls bodily
functions like breathing, circulation,
and sleep.”
“The peripheral nervous system is
divided into two which are the somatic
and autonomic nervous system.”
“Somatic and autonomic nervous
“Again, what is the subdivision of the system”
peripheral nervous system?
“Somatic nervous system is for
voluntary body movements. While,
autonomic is for involuntary body
movements or functions.”
“Examples of activities controlled by
somatic nervous system are cooking,
writing notes, dancing, and playing
basketball. While the examples of
autonomic are breathing and heart
beat.”
“Anyone who can give other examples (Answer may vary)
of activities controlled by somatic and
autonomic nervous system?”
“The autonomic nervous system has
two subdivisions the sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous system.”
“Sympathetic and parasympathetic”
“Again, what is the subdivision of
autonomic nervous system?”
“Very good! Thank you!”
“Sympathetic is responsible for the
“fight or flight” response, stimulating
the body to use energy, while the
parasympathetic division tries to
conserve energy, doing “rest or
digest”.
