DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE-8

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content standard
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. The digestive system and its interaction with the circulatory, respiratory, and excretory
systems in providing the body with nutrients for energy
2. Diseases that result from nutrient deficiency and ingestion of harmful substances, and their
prevention and treatment.
B. Performance standard
The learners should be able to:
Present an analysis of the data gathered on diseases resulting from nutrient deficiency
C. Learning Competencies/ Objectives
explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation, and excretion; S8LT-IVa13-b14

At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:

 explain how diseases of the digestive system are prevented, detected, and treated;

D. Presenting Examples/Instance s of the
Lesson
Almost all organisms (humans,animals etc.)
Have a digestive system in which food enters the
mouth, is moved through a long tube, and exists the
anus as feces. The food is broken down into
molecules and is moved rhythmically by the smooth
muscle in the walls of the digestive organs.
