Lesson Plan in SCIENCE 5
Topic / Title DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Grade Level & Section GRADE 5
Time Allotment 20 minutes
Teacher Trixia Joy S. Omangpang
Content Standard The learners will be able to identify the digestive system
Performance Standard The learners will be able to describe the role and function of
each part.
Objectives:
1. Identify key components such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver,
gallbladder, and pancreas.
2. Explain the purpose of digestion, absorption, and elimination and how enzymes and
acids aid in breaking down food into nutrients.
3. Describe the journey of food inside the body from the mouth to the rectum and the
specific functions performed at each stage.
Integration:
VALUES - Students develop a deeper understanding of resilience and the importance of
believing in themselves.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION - The pupils will dance and move their bodies as they are having their
energizer.
Teaching Strategy:
Explicit Teaching- the teacher will give examples about the topic, and the pupils will
follow the teacher as she gives examples, the pupils will be able to identify the
digestive system.
Game-Based Learning- the pupils will work as a team in a certain activity.
Constructivism- the teacher will ask questions and the pupils will generate answers.
Cooperative- the pupils will be grouped and will share their vocabulary or ideas to their
classmates.

Let’s Discuss
Digestive System
The digestive system in the human body processes food and liquids. It
consists of the digestive tract, where food passes through structures like
the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and
accessory organs.
These organs work together to break down food into smaller
components for absorption and assimilation.
• Mouth
The mouth is the first organ in the digestive system. It serves several
essential functions:
• Ingestion: Food enters the mouth, allowing the initial stage of
digestion.
• Mechanical Digestion (Chewing): Teeth break down large food
pieces into smaller ones.
• Chemical Digestion: Saliva initiates digestion by breaking
down starch into sugar.
Esophagus
The esophagus ensures the smooth movement of food from the mouth
to the stomach, allowing for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.
Unlike the stomach and small intestine, the esophagus does not secrete
digestive enzymes. Its primary function is to facilitate the passage of
food.
Stomach
The stomach is a hollow muscular organ that holds food while it is
being mixed with stomach enzymes.
Its key functions include temporary food storage, mechanical digestion
(through muscular contractions), chemical digestion (via acids and
enzymes), and controlled emptying of partially digested food into the
small intestine.
Pancreas
The pancreas is located behind the stomach; it performs two key
functions: it produces enzymes that break down sugars, fats, proteins,
and starches during digestion.
The pancreas releases hormones into the bloodstream. These chemical
messengers help regulate blood sugar levels, stimulate stomach acids,
and control appetite and stomach emptying.
Liver
The liver, the largest organ in the body, performs essential functions
within the digestive system.
The liver continually produces bile, aiding fat digestion and nutrient
absorption. It processes toxins and removes them from the blood. The
liver creates substances necessary for blood clotting after injury. It helps
maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Gallbladder
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver.
Its primary role in the digestive system is to store and concentrate bile
produced by the liver.
Bile is a sticky, yellow-green digestive fluid produced by the liver and
stored in the gallbladder. Its primary function is to break down fats into
fatty acids during digestion.
Small Intestine
The small intestine's main functions include breaking down food,
absorbing nutrients, and moving the intestinal contents along the
digestive tract. Specifically, the small intestine absorbs carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats. It plays a vital role in digestion, ensuring efficient
nutrient absorption and waste elimination.
Large Intestine
The large intestine, also known as the colon, follows the small intestine
and extends to the anal canal, where food waste exits the body. The
large intestine performs several essential functions, such as absorbing
water and electrolytes, forming stool, facilitating bacterial
fermentation, and protecting against infections.
Rectum and Anus
The rectum connects the large intestine to the anus. It acts as a reservoir
where stool accumulates before being ready for elimination. The anus
marks the exit point for food waste. Muscles, nerves, and mucous
membranes work together to facilitate healthy bowel movements that
you can control.
