2. Recall standard in conducting an activity
3. Distribute the materials and activity card to each group and let them do the activity.
 4. Supervise the pupils work during the conduct of activity.

Activity 1: “How is food digested in the stomach?”

Activity 2: “How is food digested in the intestine?”

C. Explanation
1. Ask each group to present the results of their experiment.
2. Analysis, Discussion and abstraction of group output.
Ask:
 What is the function of stomach in relation to degistion?
 What about small intestine?
D. Elaboration
1. Let the learners answer questions on “Do this in LM”. Guide the pupils while they are
doing the activity.
a. List down names of foods that you usually eat in school?
b. What parts of the body change the food we eat before it will be absorbed by our
body cells?
c. What should be done to the food you eat before it can be used by the body for
growth?
d. How would you help your stomach and small intestine work properly?
2. Let the pupils share their answers.

E. Evaluation
