DAILY LESSON PLAN
Teacher: Dandy C. Dumayao, LPT Learning Area: Science 8
Teaching Dates and Time: August 5-9, 2024 Quarter: 1
I. OBJECTIVES DAY 3 DAY 4 (Subject election & SSG campaign)
A. Content Standards:
The learners learn that organ systems work together for the growth and survival of the organism.
B. Performance Standards:
The learners shall be able to by the end of the Quarter, learners demonstrate the use of models, flow charts, and diagrams to illustrate how body systems work
together for the growth and survival of an organism. They represent patterns of inheritance and predict simple ratios of offspring. They explain that the classification of
living things shows the diversity and unity of living things. They describe the processes of respiration and photosynthesis and plan and record a scientific investigation
to verify the raw materials needed. They use flow charts and diagrams to explain cycles in nature.
C. Learning Competencies:
Using a labeled diagram, trace how food travels through the digestive tract and Use models, flow charts, diagrams, and simulations to explain how body systems
explain how different digestive processes work, including mechanical processing, work together, such as digestion and excretion;
secretion, digestion, absorption, and elimination;
D. Objectives
At the end of the discussion, the learners will be able to: At the end of the discussion, the learners will be able to:
1. Identify and label key anatomical structures and organs of the digestive 1. Identify and label key anatomical structures and organs involved in

intestine, liver, pancreas, and associated glands. kidneys, ureters, bladder).
2. Demonstrate the ability to accurately interpret a labeled diagram of the 2. Engage with interactive simulations or virtual labs to simulate the
digestive system, including correctly identify the sequence of organs and processes of digestion and excretion, manipulating variables and
structures. observing outcomes.
3. Appreciation for the importance of efficient digestion in maintaining 3. Develop an appreciation for how the integration of body systems
