I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES
A. Content The learners learn that:
Standards 1. Organ systems work together for the growth and survival of the organism.
B. Performance By the end of the Quarter, learners demonstrate the use of models, flow charts, and diagrams to illustrate how body systems work
Standards together for the growth and survival of an organism.
C. Learning Learning Competency
Competencies and 1. Using a labeled diagram, trace how food travels through the digestive tract and explain how different digestive processes work,
Objectives including mechanical processing, secretion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.
2. Use models, flow charts, diagrams, and simulations to explain how body systems work together, such as digestion and
excretion.
D. Content Topic: Digestive System Processes
Sub-topic: Parts, Function and Models of Digestive System
E. Integration Incorporating Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, "Good Health and Well-being," into a lesson on the digestive system
highlighting the importance of nutrition for overall health. Students can explore how the digestive system functions to extract
nutrients from food, emphasizing the role of balanced diets in preventing diseases.

B. Teacher’s Remarks Note observations on any
Effective Practices Problems Encountered
of the following areas:
strategies explored
materials used
learner engagement/
interaction
others This week's lesson was not executed as planned due to the sudden
shift to modular learning for Grade 8 students. The shift occurred
because of electrical issues in the rooms of the new building, which
prevented the use of classroom facilities for almost an entire week.
As a result, face-to-face instruction was temporarily halted, and
learners were provided with printed modules instead.
C. Teacher’s Reflection guide or prompt can be on:
Reflection ▪ principles behind the teaching
What principles and beliefs informed my lesson?
