Subject

Biology

Topic

Digestive System

Grade/Age Group

Grade 5

Length of Lesson

30 minutes

Class Size

Objectives

1. Students will be able to identify the main organs involved in the digestive system.
2. Students will understand the primary functions of each organ in the digestive process.
3. Students will recognize the importance of digestion in the human body.
4. Students will collaboratively create a simple diagram of the digestive system.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Printed diagrams of the digestive system
• Scissors and colored markers
• Large poster paper
• Glue
• Worksheets with labels for digestive organs
• Markers for individual labeling
• Access to biology textbooks

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson plan aligns with the Canadian National Curriculum for Grade 5 Science, specifically focusing on the human body systems and their functions.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Digestion	5 min	Begin with a brief discussion on what digestion is. Ask students if they know any organs involved in digestion. Use the whiteboard for student responses.
2	Overview of Digestive Organs	10 min	Present a simple diagram of the digestive system. Introduce each organ (mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc.) and describe their functions and order in the digestive process.
3	Group Activity: Create a Diagram	10 min	Divide students into small groups. Provide each group with poster paper, printed diagrams, scissors, and markers. Each group must create their own diagram of the digestive system, properly labeling each organ.
4	Sharing and Discussion	3 min	Groups will display their diagrams. Invite students to walk around and observe, focusing on the accuracy of the labeling and the creativity of the diagrams.
5	Homework Assignment	2 min	Hand out worksheets for students to label a blank diagram of the digestive system at home. Explain that they will submit this for review, but there will be no presentations.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet where they will label a blank diagram of the digestive system. This will be checked for understanding without the need for presentations in front of the class.
