A. Introduction-
Prayer.
Teacher: Good morning students. I am Ms. Smith. I will be your teacher
today.
Teacher: Who among you frequently asks permission to have a bathroom
break?
How many times do you urinate in a day? Ok so today, our lesson will
be on the excretory system, it's parts and functions. |

B. Development-
Teacher: Today, our lesson is on the excretory system.
How many of you know what excretion is? ...
Teacher: What is excretion?
Possible answers:
*excretion is the process by which the body gets rid of wastes.
Teacher: Wastes come from proteins. These proteins are broken down
to amino acids and the nitrogen-contaning parts are released as waste
in the form of urea and uric acid.
Build up of wastes in the tissues will interfere with cell functions
and poison the cells. It may cause fever, convulsions, coma and even
death. In humans, the cell discharges its waste materials into the
tissue fluid. From there, the waste enter into the blood stream. The
blood carries them to excretory organs to be eliminated.
2. The excretory system and it's functions.
Possible answers:
* The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes
excess, unnecessary or dangerous materials from an organism, so as
to help maintain homeostasis within the organism and prevent damage
to the body. It is responsible for the elimination of the waste products
of metabolism as well as other liquid and gaseous wastes.
**Present the excretory system visual aid to the class
Teacher: What are the parts of the excretory system?
1.kidneys - main excretory organs, it is reddish brown, bean-shaped
is about the size of your fist. (Call a volunteer to point out the
location of the kidney). Kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines.
Every day, a person's kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to
sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The wastes
and extra water become urine, which flows to the bladder through tubes
called ureters. The bladder stores urine until releasing it through
urination.
2.ureter - a long narrow tube leading from each kidney. They are muscular
ducts that propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. In
the adult, the ureters are usually 25-30 cm (10- 12 in) long
3.urinary bladder - where the ureter empties and where urine is stored,
collects urine excreted by the kidneys prior to disposal by urination
4.urethra - where urine exits the body
Parts of the kidney:
1.cortex - firm outer part of the kidney, makes up 1/3 of the kidney
tissue
2.medulla - inner 2/3 of the kidney tissue
3.pyramids - cone shaped projections in the medulla
4.pelvis - funnel shaped structure leading to the ureter
5.nephrons - units of the kidney that control the chemical make up
of blood. |

Practice-
| Who would like to come to the board and point a part or identify
a part of the excretory system. Point the part and tell us what it
is. Who would like to point another part? |
| |
|
|
Checking for understanding-
| Group yourselves into 8. Group activity, draw the excretory system
and its parts. |
| |
|
|
Closure-
| Teacher: Who can summarize what we have learned today?...Thank you
and I hope to see you again tomorrow. Have a good day. |
