EXPLORE
Teacher’s Activity (5 minutes) Student’s Activity
This time I will let you explore the digestive system.
As you can see the illustration of digestive system on the
board, there are missing parts of it. Now, open the red
pouch on the enveloped I have given. There are strips of
papers containing the parts of the digestive system inside
and it is your turn to place these words to its location in
the illustration.

 Group Activity 2: Complete the Digestive! (Students are going to paste the 10 missing parts of

Each group will be asked to paste their

answers on the board. Checking of outputs will be
done immediately after each group has posted
their answers. The illustration containing the
correct placement of the parts will be shown using
the PowerPoint presentation.

What are the different parts of the digestive system?

EXPLAIN
Teacher’s Activity (15 minutes) Student’s Activity
Group Activity 3: Read and Digest
(See attachment # 4)

Now that you already know the parts of the digestive

system, you are now ready to learn the functions of each
organ. Bring out the green pouch inside the folder. Read
the reading material about the digestive system and look
for the function of the parts your group has pasted on the
board during the second activity. Write the function in the
given manila paper. Afterwards, two members from your
group will present your output. Are we clear?

Yes Ma’am.

The students will read the reading materials and

will search for the function of their assigned organs
of the digestive system. Later, two students from
each group will present their output to the class.
Expected Answers:
 Mouth – Begins digestion by
mechanically breaking down food with
teeth and chemically with enzymes in
saliva.
 Esophagus – Transports food from the
mouth to the stomach through a series
of muscle contractions called
 LESSON PLAN EXEMPLAR IN SCIENCE 8
GRADE LEVEL QUARTER / DOMAIN WEEK & DAY NO. PAGE NO.
GRADE 8 4th QUARTER / SCIENCE 1 2 6

peristalsis.
 Stomach – Secretes gastric juices that
contain acid and enzymes to break
down proteins and churn food into a
semi-liquid substance called chyme.
 Small Intestine – The primary site for
nutrient absorption, where enzymes
from the pancreas and bile from the
liver break down food, and villi absorb
nutrients into the bloodstream.
 Liver – Produces bile, which helps
emulsify fats for digestion and
absorption in the small intestine.
 Gallbladder – Stores and releases bile
produced by the liver into the small
intestine to aid fat digestion.
 Pancreas – Produces digestive
enzymes and bicarbonate, which help
break down food and neutralize
stomach acid in the small intestine.
 Large Intestine – Absorbs water and
electrolytes from undigested food,
forming solid waste and housing
beneficial gut bacteria.
 Rectum – Stores feces until they are
eliminated from the body through the
anus.
All of you did a great work. Let’s clap for each group.  Anus – The opening through which
feces are expelled from the body.
