Targets from
previous
lesson
Learning WALT:
objectives  Some body processes are controlled by hormones
(be as explicit  Hormones are secreted by glands and carried in the blood stream
as possible –  That hormones regulate the functions of many organs and cells
use the reverse
of the page if WILF:
necessary) All: Completed hormone tables and worksheets
Most: Finished questions on worksheet
Some: Sensible answers to QUAD on hormones
Pupil Speak We are learning about how our body controls itself using chemical
messengers because these control how we grow and develop
Key words ADH, glands, hormones, growth hormones, pituitary gland, FSH, LH,
progesterone, oestrogen, testosterone, adrenaline, insulin

Time Pupil Activity Teacher activity
Starter:
Ask the pupils what they think is
meant by the word hormones

What do they do?

Word wall for hormones and other

body chemicals

“Hormones are chemical messengers

carried around by our blood”

Reminder that glands are effectors and

relate back to previous lessons

Main part of lesson:

Pupils to complete table of hormone
information using the data on the
board

Pupils to complete the hormone

diagram sheet, working out the
missing information using the
completed hormone table

Plenary:
Hormone Bingo!

Ext: Discuss feedback loops and

identify other such situations

Homework / notices / reminders:

 The targets effects of glands & hormones

Gland Hormone Target organs Effect

vital organs, eg
adrenal gland adrenalin Prepares body for action - 'fight or flight'.
liver and heart
Controls puberty and the menstrual cycle in
ovaries, uterus, females; stimulates production of LH and
ovary oestrogen
pituitary gland suppresses the production of FSH in the
pituitary gland.
Maintains the lining of the womb - suppresses
ovary progesterone uterus
FSH production in the pituitary gland.

pancreas insulin liver Controls blood sugar levels.

pancreas glucagon liver Makes the liver release sugar into the blood

anti-diuretic Controls blood water level by triggering

pituitary gland kidney
hormone (ADH) uptake of water in kidneys.
follicle
Triggers egg ripening and oestrogen
pituitary gland stimulating ovaries
production in ovaries.
hormone (FSH)
luteinising Triggers egg release and progesterone
pituitary gland ovaries
hormone (LH) production in ovaries.
male
testes testosterone reproductive Controls puberty in males.
organs

Controls the amount of energy available for

thyroid thyroxin metabolism
the body to use.

These ones are important!

A: This hormone prepares the body for action!

B: This hormone targets the ovaries, uterus and pituitary gland

C: This hormone maintains the lining of the womb and suppresses

FSH production in the pituitary gland

D: This hormone targets the liver and controls blood sugar level

E: This hormone is secreted by the pancreas and makes the liver

release sugar into the blood

F: This hormone targets the kidneys

G: This hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland and triggers

egg ripening (don’t get this one mixed up!)

egg release (don’t get this one mixed up!)

I: This hormone is secreted by the glands called the testes
