Lesson Plan

This is my science lesson plan:

•Subject: Science
•Topic: Absorption of Digested Food
•Time: 80 minutes
•Learning Area: Nutrition
•Teaching & learning approach: Mastery learning
•Learning Outcomes:
–To explain the process of absorption of the products of digestion
–To make inference about the absorption of glucose through a Visking tube
•Science process skills: Observing, inferring, communicating, interpreting data, experimenting
•Thinking skills: Attributing, relating, making analogies
•Moral values: Being systematic, being cooperative, thinking rationally

•Learning Activities
–Teacher asks students to name the end products of digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
–Teacher instructs students to carry out experiment.
–Teacher reminds them to note down the results of the iodine test and Benedict’s test.
–Teacher asks students to write a science report for the experiment.

•Discussion
–In the process of absorption, substances with small molecules (like glucose) will able to diffuse through the wall of small intestine.
–Substances with big molecules (like starch) cannot diffuse through wall of small intestine.
–The food must be digested first into simple molecules before it can diffuse through wall of small intestine.
