Science Lesson Plan: Digestion


Digestion is one of the topics students usually hate. It is simply hard for them to visualize what is going on inside our body through a system which is longer than our height. I designed this lesson plan to highlight the importance of chemical and mechanical digestion in our body.
The first activity I planned was to show the digestive system outside the body and simply manipulate what is going on inside through hands-on activity. In that aspect, students will be able to link what they learned to their experience through and memory of a fun experience. Their memorization of the topic will be made automatically instead of opening their book and actually memorize.
Then in order to target visual types of learners, I included a video I found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5TaS0-VaDo. I will be choosing to show my students from minute 1:46 till 4:48 as this is the part by which it will target my objectives. Throughout the video, I will be stopping to ask my students questions so that they will be the ones who will explain the lesson.
My lesson plan is an inquiry based type of lesson plan. It includes the 5-E steps. This type of lesson plans targets Bloom's Taxonomy high order questions. The different questions are included through my lesson plan. To target the students who are still at the bottom part of the taxonomy, I will be summarizing the lesson to the class in 5-10 minutes by which I ask my students questions to target their "knowledge" part.
My objectives were divided into two parts: content and process
  • Through the contents, 4 objectives are targeted in this lesson plan by which each contain an action statement, condition statement, and criterion statement.
  • As for the process skills objectives, I tried to target the higher order of Bloom's Taxonomy by which I want my student to analyze an experiment and design a solution to solve a problem. This part of my objectives is done through an evaluation worksheet. Part of this worksheet is solved individually (the analysis part) and the other part is solved through group work (the design part
