Lesson Plan in Science and Health III
I. Objective: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1. Identify the main parts of the eye. 2. Identify the functions of each part. II. Subject Matter: Sense Organs- Your Eyes
A. Science Concepts/ Ideas:
1. The parts of the eye are cornea, iris, lens, and retina. 2. The cornea protects the eye from dust and germs. 3. The pupil is the opening through which light passes. 4. The iris helps the size of the pupil in different lights. 5. The lens focuses the light that enters the eye on the retina. 6. The retina is like a film that lines the back part of the eye.
B. Science Processes: Identifying, observing C. Materials:
Enlarged picture of the eye with the different parts labelled Camera

1. Daily Routine 1.1 1.2 1.3 2.1 Prayer Greeting the Class Checking of Attendance Checking of assignment
2. Preparatory Activities
Last meeting, I have asked you to prepare a poster showing the proper care of your sense organs, do you have it with you? Bring them out and pass it forward. 2.2 associated organs. What are they? What else? Some more? What else? And the last one? Very Good, class. 2.3 Motivation - The eyes are the organs of sight. -The ears are the organs of hearing. -The nose is the organ of smelling. -The tongue is the organ of tasting. -The skin is the organ of touching. Review of past lesson So last time we have discussed the five senses and their -Yes, Maam
Now, were going to have a guessing game. I have here with me some cartolina strips that contains some written description of the mystery object. As I read the descriptions, tell me first which of the senses is associated with it. If you have answered the it correctly, you will have the chance to guess for the mystery object.
First description, small. Correct, you may guess. No. Second description, smooth. No, third description, color white. No, fourth description, it is round. Yes, correct, it is a ball. (Teacher gives prize.) 3. Presentation of the Lesson 3.1 Statement of Objectives
-seeing -seed? -touching ; is it a mirror? -seeing; is it an eraser? -touching, a ball?
The mentioned descriptions are also related to one of our most valuable sense organ that we are going to discuss for today- the eyes. We will discuss its parts as well as the function of its parts.
B. Lesson Proper
We have two eyes. Each eye is shaped like a ball. It has some parts that work like those of a camera. This shows the main parts of the eye. (Presents the illustration of eye and points out the parts.) Lets discuss now their functions through this table: Parts of the Eye Cornea Where it is found -outer part the eye; -bends light as it enters the eye Iris Pupil -outer part -outer part -makes pupil big or small -gives eye its color -allows light into the eye -an opening that enlarges in dim light and becomes smaller in bright light Lens -inner part -focuses light What it does - prevents dust from entering
Retina
-inner part
-where the image is formed
Those are the main parts of the eyes. We also have the optic nerves which sends the message from the retina to the brain. Also the eyebrows and the eyelashes play important parts as they protect our eyes from foreign particles such as dusts and dirts. Here is a camera, which part of the eye works like the lens cover? Yes. How about the opening this opening? Correct. How about this shutter? Yes. How about this lens? Of course, and how about the film? Okay. -The eyelids. -The pupils. -The iris. -The eye lens. -The retina.
C. Generalization
So again, what are the main parts of the eye? Very good. What is the function of the cornea? -Cornea, iris, pupil, lens and retina. -It prevents dust from entering the eye and it bends light as it enters the eye. Yes. How about the iris? Correct. How about the pupil? -It makes pupil big or small and gives eye its color. -It allows light into the eye. It enlarges in dim light and becomes smaller in bright light. Very good. How about the lens? And the retina? Okay. -It focuses the light that enters the eye. -It is where the image is formed.
D. Application:
After knowing the different parts of the eye and their functions, we should realize that our eyes are really important and the only reason we are now appreciating the beauty of our world. (Ask the following questions:) 1. How will you take care of your eyes? 2. What kind of food will you eat to help maintain good eye sight? -Fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin A. IV. Evaluation Match column A with column B. Write the letter of the correct answer. -----1. Protect the inner eye from dust -----2. Allows light to enter the eye -----4. Focuses the light that enters the eye -----5. Part where the image is formed V. Assignment: Draw on your notebook the eye and label its parts. a. retina b. cornea d. lens e. Pupil (answers may vary) -Do not read in dim light and in moving vehicles.
-----3. Regulates the amount of light that enters the eye c. iris
