Unit: Puberty - Reproductive Body Parts

Standard: 23.A.2a Identify basic body systems and their functions23.A.3a Explain how body systems interact with each other

Objective: Students will be able to recall puberty information as well as list and label parts of the male and female reproductive systems

Materials needed:- Body parts WS (one per student), male/female reproductive system diagram,

Interactive reproductive system game

Modifications: Have tangible diagrams for students, allow extra time, allow to work in pairs

Lesson:

Review:

1. Review some of the body changes from the prior lesson (3 female, 3 male, 3 both). Let the students know that some of the changes come directly from hormone changes activated during puberty from the reproductive system.

Intro:

2. Provide a paper for each student with the body parts (male / female for each side) and read through parts of the reproductive system, while following along on the board.

Activity:

3. Use information to properly label the parts using the interactive website (have students volunteer to come up)

4. Watch reproductive system Brain Pop5. Take Brain Pop Quiz as class

Exit:6. Take a group quiz to recall male or female reproductive system parts7. No homework, collect from yesterday, inform about next week

Is It male

or female ?

Let’s play . . .

#1 Ovary - Is it male or female?

#2 Scrotum - Is it male or female?

#3 Epididymis - Is it male or female?

#4 Cervix- Is it male or female?

#5 Vas Deferens- Is it male or female?

#6 Uterus- Is it male or female?

#7 Testes- Is it male or female?

#8 Bladder - Is it male or female?

For your final Question!

Who typically starts puberty first

– Is it male or female?

• Ovum (egg) - female sex cell

• Ovary – organ that stores and matures eggs (females born with 200,000-300,000 eggs, but not all will be used through her lifetime)

• Fimbria – finger-like tentacles bringing mature egg into fallopian tubes (since the ovaries are not actually connected to the fallopian tubes)

• Fallopian tubes – thin tube where conception typically takes place (about the width and delicacy of 5 strands of hair)

• Uterine wall – the inner part of the uterus that gets thicker and thinner throughout a females menstrual cycle

• Uterus (womb) – expandable organ where babies grow during pregnancy

• Cervix (door) – opens and shuts during a girls menstrual cycle and during pregnancy

• Vagina (birth canal) – females sex organ

• Scrotum – sac that holds the testicles (regulates the testicles temperature)

• Testicle – organ that produces males sperm (starts producing sperm for the first time during puberty and then for the rest of their lives)

• Epididymus – stores mature sperm for 2-3 months until they are ready to be released

• Vas Deferens – tube carrying sperm to the seminal vesicles

• Seminal Vesicles – provide sperm with a fluid to nourish them (now considered semen)

• Prostate Gland – sponge-like organ mixing all sperm and fluid together

• Urethra – through this tube, urine/ sperm leave the body (females also have a urethra but not considered part of the reproductive system)

• Penis – male sex organ
