Lesson Plan in Biology

Second Year High School

By Jay Cesar
I. Learning Experience
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a) identify the importance of the circulatory system and its major components
b) name the anatomical features on a human heart model
c) trace the blood flow through the human heart
d) identify concrete personal actions that can promote the health of the heart
through the Activity Pyramid
e) make a model of a human heart that can be used to demonstrate blood
flow
II. Learning Content:

The Circulatory System

Textbook: Biology Textbook by S.B. dela Cruz

Materials: cartolina
masking tape
pair of scissors
crayons
folder
plastic cup
glue
picture of a human heart model
Human Heart Model Template (attached)
Values Focus: Healthy Diet
III. Procedure
a) Preliminary Activity
a) The class starts with a Short Prayer and checking of attendance.

b) Introduction to Circulatory System.

Everyday, what is the specific route that you take in coming to
school and in going home? What are the vehicles that youll ride?
Your everyday route to school and home is similar to your circulatory
system. Your blood travels in a specific vessel in your body. Your
home serves as the center of the circulatory system the heart. The
jeepney you rode everyday in going to school is like your arteries that
carries blood away from your heart. On the other hand, the veins that
carry blood into your heart are like the jeepneys youll ride in going
back home. The tricycle serves as your capillaries which are the
small blood vessels in your body.
b) Developmental Activity
a) Presentation
The teacher will present the definition of the Circulatory
System and its main role in the human body. The three major
components of the Circulatory System will be discussed.
b) Demonstration
The teacher will post a picture on the board showing the
human heart model. With the aid of the textbook, the students
will identify the different parts of the heart.
1) How does blood flow through the human heart?
2) What are the major blood vessels of the heart?
3) What is the role of the tricuspid valve and the bicuspid
valve?
4) What are the four chambers of the heart?
c) Post Activity
a) Generalization/Valuing
i.

What is the importance of the Circulatory System?

ii.

How can you keep your heart healthy?

b) Application: Paired Activity

i) Each pair will make a human heart model following the
procedures given by the teacher. (attached)
ii) Each pair will have the following materials:
pair of scissors, glue, masking tape, crayons, folder and
one plastic cup
IV. Evaluation: Demonstration of blood flow using the human heart model.
Each pair will be called in front to demonstrate how the blood flows
through the heart with the aid of the human heart model. 20 points will be
given to the pair who can accurately trace the blood flow.
V. Assignment
List down activities that youll do to keep your heart muscle healthy.
