This document is a weekly home learning plan for grade 8 students covering science topics related to the digestive system. It includes 5 learning tasks to be completed over 3 days that involve playing a board game about digestion, observing how crushing candy affects its dissolution, demonstrating how enzymes break down proteins, explaining how food moves through the digestive system, and learning about the major organs of the digestive system. The mode of delivery involves parents submitting student work to teachers at scheduled dates and times, with oral assessments conducted following safety protocols.

Teacher can communicate
to his/her pupils and do oral questioning and assessment to the pupil. Questions: 1. The game you are about to play is an analogy of the digestive system. What do the tokens represent? 2. What do the spaces on the board game represent? 3. What do the directions on some of the spaces tell you about the digestive system? Learning Task 2 A Sweet Break! Procedure: 1. Fill the two beakers with warm water. Make sure that the amount of water placed in each glass is about the same. Label the glasses A and B. 2. Prepare two pieces of candies. Wrap a piece of candy in a paper towel and crush it using a mortar and pestle or any hard object like a piece of wood. 3. Place one piece of candy into the glass of warm water labeled A and place the crushed pieces of candy in the remaining glass of warm water labeled B. 4. Observe how long it takes for the whole candy in Glass A and the crushed pieces of candy in Glass B to dissolve. 5. Record your observation. Questions: 1. How does crushing the candy to smaller pieces affect its dissolution? 2. What does crushing the candy represent in the process of digestion? Learning Task 3 How do enzymes affect digestion? Procedure: 1. Number and label the test tubes (1-water, 2-fresh pineapple juice, and 3-bromeliad leaf juice). 2. Prepare a bar or one tablespoonful of granulated gelatin in the measuring cup using 100 mL of boiling water. 3. Stir well with a spoon until the gelatin is dissolved. 4. Place 3 mL of water into test tube 1, 3 mL of fresh pineapple juice into test tube 2,and 3 mL of Bromeliad leaf juice into test tube 3. 5. Add 10 mL of gelatin mixture to each test tube. Shake well to mix thoroughly. 6. Refrigerate the samples overnight. 7. On Day 2, check the contents of each test tube for solidification of the contents. Record your observations. Food undergoes physical and chemical change as it moves from one part of the gastrointestinal tract to the other. Digestion makes the nutrients found in food available to the different parts of the body for the organism’s nourishment and overall wellness. In Learning Task 2, an enzyme called bromelain which is present in fresh pineapple juice and in bromeliad plants is used to demonstrate digestion of proteins. Questions: 1. How did bromelain affect the protein in gelatin? 2. Which of your observations show this effect? 3. There are other kinds of enzymes in your digestive system. How do these enzymes affect digestion? Learning Task 4 How does food move through your digestive system? Explain Learning Task 5 A journey into the digestive system The Human Digestive System
