A. Review of the past lesson ( 5 minutes)
Before we proceed to our new lesson, may we have a
short recap about our lesson yesterday?
Yes mam!
What was our last discussion all about?
We discussed something about The nervous
system.
Correct! Please tell us what s the basic unit of the
nervous sytem?
The nerve cell.
The nerve cells are called neurons. Now, what is the
main function of neurons?
It has special ability to carry signals or
impulses.
When a receptor such as an organ perceives a
stimulus, the impulse is sent to the brain by sensory
neurons then, transmitted by nerve cells, When the
message reaches the brain what happened next?
The brain processes the information and
commands an effector such as a muscle or
an organ to respond by the use of neurons.
Very good! Do you have any questions for that?
None maam!
Now, lets play a game first.
Ok maam!
B. Motivation ( 5 minutes)
Now, This game is called the Chinese Whisper game.
Are you familiar with his game?
(answers may vary)
ADVANCE PREPARATION:
The teacher will make an envelope with secret
message inside. Have all students to participate.
DIRECTIONS:
Students will be divided into two groups. Each group
will choose two representatives. The representatives
will go in front and read the secret message. Once the
teacher says go it is the time for the representatives to
go to the first student and whisper the secret message
he/she read. The first student will whisper the secret
message to the second students ear. The second
student will turn to the person next to him/her and
whisper the message to them. Continues whispering
the message until it reach the last student. The last
student will say the message they heard aloud to the
whole class. The first group to say the correct
message will be the winner.
All students will participate.
SECRET MESSAGE:
Hormones are part of the endocrine system.
Based on the game that we played do you have any
idea on what will be our topic for today?
Our topic for today is all about the
endocrine system.
That’s correct! But specifically our topic for today is
all about the endocrine glands and their hormones.
Do you have any idea on what is the endocrine
system?
The endocrine system is composed of
glands that secrete different types of
hormones that affect almost every cell organ
and function of our body.
Very Good! It is essential in regulating growth and
development, metabolism, as well as reproductive
processes and mood.
How does your endocrine system function?
Endocrine glands secrete chemicals known
as hormones into the bloodstreams , which
carries them throughout the body.
So, what are hormones?
Hormones are chemical secreted by the
endocrine glands which carries instructions
to the body.
When a hormone in the body reaches the target organ,
it produces a notable effect.
None maam!
Very good! Is there any questions?
Now, lets study the different endocrine glands, their
location , hormones released and their function.
*The teacher will post the table list of all the major
glands in the body, with their function, location and
hormones they released.
C. Lesson Proper ( 20 minutes)
PRE ACTIVITY:
The teacher will discuss the function of the endocrine
system, the endocrine glands and their hormones.
The students will participate to the
discussion and the activity.
The teacher will explain the instructions in the
activity.
GLAND
LOCATION
HORMONES
RELEASED
FUNCTION
Pituitary
At the base of the
brain
Oxytocin,
Vasopressin, growth
hormone,
adrenocorticotropic
hormone, polactin,
luteinizing hormone,
follicle stimulating
hormone.
Stimulates growth,
and controls the
function of the other
glands
Thyroid
Below the voice box
Thyroxin, Calcitonin
Regulates body
metabolism, and
causes storage of
calcium in bones
Parathyroid
In the neck
Parathyromone
Controls the calcium
levels in your body,
and normalizes the
bone growth
Thymus
In front of the hear
Thymosin
Enables the body to
produce certain
antibodies
Adrenal
On top of the kidneys
Adrenaline
Prepares the body for
action, controls the
heart rate and
breathing in times of
emergency.
Pancreas
Between the kidneys
Insulin and Glucagon
Regulates blood sugar
levels

and male
characteristics
-ovaries(females)
Lower abdomen
Estrogen,
progesterone
Influence female
traits, and support
reproductive function.
ACTIVITY:
PROCEDURE:
Study each picture that depicts the involvement of a particular gland in the endocrine system.
Write down the name of the endocrine gland and explain its effect, according to its function.
Example: Athletes burn up
calories during exercise
Thyroid Gland- it regulates the
metabolism of the body.
1. A pregnant woman
2. A boy running away from
danger
3.a kid growing taller
4. A sick person in bed
5. A girl eating sweets
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
Q1. Which gland of the endocrine and nervous system controls the other gland of the body?
Q2. How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in terms of location and function?
Q3. If a persons blood sugar level becomes unstable, what glands might be involved in the
problem?
Q4. How important is the thymus glands in keeping your body free from diseases?
Q5. What might happen to a person born without a thymus gland?
TEACHERS ACTIVITY
STUDENTS ACTIVITY
POST ACTIVITY:
 Discussion of the activity
Regulates body metabolism, and causes
storage of calcium in bone
In the activity have you able to identify what
kind of gland and its effect and function does
each picture depicts?
Lets answer, the first one the pregnant woman.
Very good! How about the second one a boy
running away from danger?
A kid growing taller?
A sick person in bed?
The last one a girl eating sweets?
Is there any questions?
Very good! I was happy you are able to finish
your activity. Pass your papers.
D. GENERALIZATION: ( 3 minutes)
Now lets look back, what is the endocrine
system?
Very good so what are hormones?
Very good! What are the major endocrine
glands in the body and their function?
Pituitary - Regulates body metabolism, and
causes storage of calcium in bones
PARATHYROID
Controls the calcium levels in your body, and
normalizes the bone growth
