Ask:
How did you feel after doing the activity?
What happens when food inside our body combines with oxygen?
What happens when materials inside our body combines with oxygen?
What kind of change is it?
- Elaboration

Background Information
- Oxygen is a part of the air that surrounds us. It can cause changes on different materials and food inside our body.
- Digested food is metabolized or used up in the body by combining with oxygen. This process releases energy from the food so that the body can use it for biological processes or for work.
- People and animals use oxygen in respiration. As oxygen is inhaled, some materials inside the body combine with it and undergo a chemical reaction that gives off carbon dioxide, water and energy.
- This example given undergo the process of chemical change.
Ask:
- What is oxygen?
- What does it cause?
- How does oxygen help in using up the food we eat?
- What is produced when oxygen combine with the materials inside our body?
- What kind of change happened in the example given?
- Evaluation/Assessment:
What happens to the food and materials inside our body when oxygen is
present?
- Assignment:
Answer this question by making a 4 – 5 sentenced paragraph on your notebook.
“Why is oxygen important in using up the nutrients of the food we eat?”
Day 2

How did you feel after doing the activity?
Why did the apple and the iron chain change in color?
How can we stop them from discoloring?
- Elaboration

Background Information
- Oxygen is a part of the air that surrounds us. It can cause changes on different materials.
- Some fruits like apple, turnips, mango, etc. and some root crops like sweet potato, eggplant, etc. have enzymes which when combined with water gives it brown color, a sign of food spoilage.

- Elaboration

Background Information
