D. Motivation
Teacher shows a building, and a house. State what are the things that it protects.

E. Lesson Proper
Using Inquiry Method the teacher shows picture of skeletal system with some of the internal
organs. Let students identify the different organs that it protects.

F. Generalization
What are the different bones that protect internal organs?




G. Application
What will happen to the bones that protect internal organ if it is damaged or injured?
