.Lesson Guide in Science and Health IV

First Grading Period

I. Objective

A.  Explain how parts  of the skeletal system  gives the body  form, shape and  support   

B.  Show how the skeletal system gives the body  form, shape and  support   

C.  State the importance of eating the right kind of food for stronger bones

	Value Integration: Eat the right kind of food

 

II. Subject-Matter

            Explaining how parts  of the skeletal system  gives the body  form, shape and  support 

           

A. Science Concept: The skeleton is like a frame. It gives your body form, shape and support.

B. Science Processes: Observing,  Communicating, Inferring

C. References: Science Spectrum 4, pp. 9 -10, Rebecca R. Fallaria, Nenita A. Apolinario, Jesse D. Ronquillo, PELC #1.2, p.1

D. Materials: kite, mirror, video clip, LCD projector

E. Strategy Used:   4 A’s Strategy

III. Procedures:

            A. Activities:

                        1. Show to the pupils a kite. Let them observe it.

                        2. Call pupil- volunteer to look at himself  in the mirror.

                        3. Let the pupils face or look at one of their seatmates.

            B. Analysis:

                        1. (Observing a kite)

                            a. Have you ever made a kite?

                            b. What did you use as its frame?

                            c. Why do you think when it was finished, it has a shape similar to its frame?

                        2.  and 3. (Looking at the mirror/ seatmate)

                            a. Is your/his head round?

                            b. Are your/his arms and legs long?

                            c. Why can you say that your/his head is round?  arms and legs long?

            C. Abstraction:

1. Input: Discussion  on how parts  of the skeletal system  gives the body  form, shape and  support 

                 Do you know that the skeletal system is the framework of the human body?

The framework of your body is made up of rigid and strong materials called bones. The skeletal system gives your body form and shape. It provides body support.

-         Does each part of our body have shape?  Why?

-         Why do you think that the different parts of our body do not change location?

-         What are some bones that provide body support?

-         How do pelvic girdle, spinal column, sternum/breastbone, femur and shoulder girdle supports our body?

     Value Integration:  If our bones provide the form, shape and support to our body, what kind of food should  we need to eat in order to function them well in our body? Why?

     2. Generalization:  Why can you say that the parts of  the skeletal system  gives the body  form, shape and  support?

D. Application:

                 a. Explain how the skeletal system gives the body  form, shape and  support    (rubric scoring guide-essay)

                 b. You mother wanted to cook a “chicken lechon”  using the chicken meat only without the bones. So she got all the  bones from the whole chicken. Do you think the chicken has still a form and shape? Why?

(rubric scoring guide-essay)

E. Enrichment Activities

                   Discuss how the skeletal protects the internal organs.

                   1. skull                                        4. short and long bones

                   2. ribcage                                    5. vertebrae

                   3. pelvic girdle
