LEARNING TASK
A. ELICIT
- Teacher will show the scrambled letter word below
ENIRCODNE STEMYS Student Response:
Ask: 1. What do you think the scrambled letter word is? 1. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
2. Are you familiar with this endocrine system? 2. Yes, (Students should have prior
3. Tell something about the Endocrine system knowledge of the systems because
Say: It seems that some of you have already an idea as to what is the it’s a Grade 6 second quarter lesson
endocrine system is.. about Parts and Functions of Human
So obviously, since, endocrine is basically a system, it is composed Body Systems (S6LT-IIa-b-1 ))
3. (Answer Varies)
of glands. But not like the other system, endocrine system secretes
Endocrine system controls and
different types of hormones that affect almost every cell, organ, and
regulates body processes. It is the
function of our body. It is essential in regulating growth and
system that is in control of the
development, metabolism, as well as reproductive processes and
mechanisms in the body.
mood.

B. ENGAGE
- Teacher will ask student to listen to a 2 minutes song/ rap.
Downloaded from YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=KsBgcEvihS8
(see attachment for lyrics of the song)
- Students will be given a copy of the lyrics of the song/rap
- Teacher will ask student to listen and try to sing the song as
well.
- After listening to the song/rap. Teacher ask the following Student Response:
question; 1. Endocrine system secretes chemical
messenger known as hormones.
Ask: 1. What is endocrine system for? 2. (Answer varies)

2
Say: Try to look at the illustration on the board.
(see attachment for clear view of the illustration.)

- Thyroid gland and parathyroid

located at the neck that keeps or
regulates the calcium level.

2. Identify one glands or organs mention in the song/rap. Then,

Give its function.

Say: Very good, it seems that you really listen to the song.
Now, it is already clear, that endocrine system consist of glands that
secrete chemicals known as hormones into the bloodstream, which
carried throughout the body. Thus, when a hormone in the blood
reaches the target organ, it produces a notable effect that sends
signals all over the body.

C. EXPLORE
-Teacher will ask the student to go to their group and do the activity
on the Science 10 learner’s material: Activity 4: Who is in control?
on pages 242-243. (see attachment for copy of the activity sheets)

Say: The activity will be answered individually in your activity book

but together with their assigned group, brainstorm or think-square-
share in doing the activity. Then, during your presentation, each
group must have their group answer or the consolidated answer of the
group.

- Teacher will remind the standard in group activity. The teacher

will also remind the students about the procedure.

Say: Base from the procedure of activity, analyze the picture. After

3
analyzing, write down the name of the endocrine gland and explain
its effect, according to its function. Then answer the following are
the guide questions;

Q15. Which gland of the endocrine and nervous system controls the
other glands in the body?
Q16. How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in
terms of location and function?
Q17. If a person’s blood sugar level becomes unstable, what glands
might be involved in the problem?
Q18. How important is the thymus gland in keeping your body free
from diseases?
Q19. What might happen to a person born without a thymus gland?
Q20. How will you explain the sudden boost of energy, increased
strength and extraordinary ability to lift very heavy objects especially
during emergency situations?
Q21. Why is injecting insulin an essential part of the daily regime for
most people with diabetes?
Q22. Why does the menstrual cycle stop during menopause?
Q23. How do oral contraceptives, specifically birth control pills,
prevent pregnancy?
Q24. Breastfeeding releases oxytocin and prolactin, hormones that
relax the mother and make her feel more nurturing toward her baby.
On the other hand, how does the baby benefit from the production of
these hormones in the mother’s body?

D. EXPLAIN
-Teacher will ask to present their output. Let student explain and
discuss their observation and their answers to guide question thru
reporting.

- In case, the time will not be enough for all groups to present the
remaining group will present their presentation thru video
presentation which will be uploaded in the science 10 group page.

-Teacher will also ask probing question during the activity

other glands in the body? Guide Question
Q16. How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in
terms of location and function?
Answers in the Activity:
Q17. If a person’s blood sugar level becomes unstable, what glands
1. Ovaries - Secrete more progesterone
might be involved in the problem?
and estrogen to promote pregnancy
Q18. How important is the thymus gland in keeping your body free
2. Adrenal Gland- Produces adrenaline to

Q19. What might happen to a person born without a thymus gland?
3.Pituitary Gland -Produces growth
Q20. How will you explain the sudden boost of energy, increased hormones

during emergency situations? stimulate production of T- cells against
infection
Q21. Why is injecting insulin an essential part of the daily regime for
most people with diabetes? 5. Pancreas - secretes insulin that
regulates blood sugar levels.
Q22. Why does the menstrual cycle stop during menopause?
Q23. How do oral contraceptives, specifically birth control pills,
prevent pregnancy? Answers to Guide Questions:

Q24. Breastfeeding releases oxytocin and prolactin, hormones that Q15. The pituitary gland controls the

On the other hand, how does the baby benefit from the production of Q16. The thyroid gland is located below
these hormones in the mother’s body? the voice box and regulates body
metabolism by producing
calcitonin that reduces blood
calcium level; while parathyroid
gland is located on the thyroid
glands and produces parathormone
that increases blood calcium levels
and normalizes bone growth.
Q17. The person’s pancreas is possibly
involved when blood sugar level
becomes unstable.
Q18. The thymus gland enables the body
to produce T- cells that help in
fighting infections and diseases.
Q19. A person born without a thymus
gland will not develop an adaptive
immune system and may
eventually die.
Q20. The adrenal gland produces
adrenaline that enables the body to

 have the energy in doing
spontaneous work during
emergency situations.
Q21. Because the diabetic person’s
pancreas does not produce enough
insulin for the body, insulin
injections must be administered to
the body to regulate blood sugar
levels.
Q22. During menopause there is a
significant change of hormone
levels produced by the ovaries
which eventually stops the
menstrual cycle.
Q23. Birth control pills contain hormones
that control the functioning of the
ovaries and the uterus. Most pills
have the combination of the
hormones estrogen and
progesterone to prevent ovulation
(the release of an egg during the
monthly cycle).
Q24. Oxytocin and prolactin enable milk
production that provides the required
nourishment for the baby.
E. ELABORATE
- Teacher will post a table on the board and ask student to fill in the
table with the correct information. Answers are also posted on the
board. (see attachment for clearer view of the table)
Answer to the table:
(see attachment for clearer view of the table)

- Students will ask to fill in the table by identifying the endocrine

glands/organ, its description thru its location, structure, and
hormone release and its function.

F. EXTEND
- Teacher will ask mind pick question which links to other
discipline or in real life situations.

Ask: Why do you think the human endocrine system called the Students Response
system of checks and balance? - Answer varies
Say: The endocrine system is also known as the “system of checks
and balances” that works to keep the body system healthy. One of the
instances when the endocrine system is working properly is by
sending signals to another gland, which responds by controlling the
chemicals of the first gland.

Ask: Why are the hormones necessary to our well-being? - Answer varies

Say: Because hormones control various body processes. This control

system usually brings about slow changes in the body because
chemical messengers move more slowly than nerve impulses.
