 Unlocking of Words

Before we start with our discussion, let’s have

an activity first. This activity is called
“Vocabulary Matching Game”

(Display the Definitions on the board)

What you can see on the board are definitions

of terms. I have here a card that contains
vocabulary words which are:
REPRODUCTION
ENDOMETRIUM
IMPLANTATION
PUBERTY
FERTILIZATION
MENSTRUATION.
I will pick 5 students and give them 1 card
each. The chosen students will then find and
match the vocabulary words on the definitions
posted on the board. I will give a star if the
student can answer it correctly. Are you ready

C. Discussion
Class, this morning we are going to tackle
about the Female Reproductive system.

The Female Reproductive System is made up

of several organs which include the ovaries,
fallopian tube, uterus and vagina. It is
specifically responsible for producing egg cells
and supporting a developing baby inside a
mother’s womb.

So, let’s think of the female reproductive tract

as a journey that the egg cell takes. I have
here a model of an egg cell (show the model
to the students)

The egg cell is the female reproductive cell.

This is the biggest cell in the female human
body.
The egg cell is only one-tenth of a millimeter
about the size of the diameter of a hair strand.

So look at you hair strands class, a female egg cell is

the same as the size of your strand. (Children looks at the strands of
their hair)
All of the structures in the female reproductive tract
are there to help this egg mature, travel and/or
develop.
Now I have here a diagram of the female
reproductive system. (Post the diagram to the board)
Now let’s find out the journey of the egg cell.
It all begins with the ovaries. What is an ovary?
Kindly read the meaning altogether. Ovary
Right. About 70,000 potential egg cells are already The ovaries are a paired structure
present in the ovaries of a female when she is born. that house eggs. The ovary

If the egg is ready to be released, the mature egg cell

leaves the ovary. Where do you think will the egg cell
go?
Correct! That is the second step of our journey.
To the fallopian tube teacher!
(Trace the track of the egg cell using the egg cell
model and the diagram)
What is a fallopian tube? Please read Imee
So these are the fallopian tube (point to the two Fallopian Tube
fallopian tubes) The fallopian tube leads the egg
from the ovary to the uterus. This is

together and continue traveling to the next
destination.
Our next destination is the uterus. (move the model
egg cell from the fallopian tube to the uterus)
Kindly read the meaning of the uterus, Reann.
If the ovary is the home of the egg, the uterus can Uterus

develop. That's what the uterus is for. the fertilized egg is implanted.
After nine months, from the egg cell it will turn into a
baby and our journey will continue.
(Change the egg cell model to a baby sticker)

Our next stop is the Cervix, please read the meaning

of cervix Connie. Cervix

Right, the cervix is at the bottom of the uterus that
opens in the vagina.
After going to the cervix, the next stop is the vagina.
Read the meaning of vagina Irene.
Yes. So the vagina is the passageway leading from
the cervix to the outside of the female body.
If fertilization does not occur, blood from the uterus
passes through the vagina during birth.
And that is the end of our journey.
The cervix is located at the lower
part of the uterus. It is a narrow
opening between the uterus and the
vagina. During childbirth, it expands
to allow the passage of the baby.
Vagina
Also called the birth canal, the
vagina is a hollow, muscular tube
that extends from the cervix to the
vaginal opening called vulva. It
expands to let the baby pass during
normal delivery.

You have just learned the different parts of the

female reproductive system.
Always remember that you should not make fun of
the terms that refer to your reproductive system. Am I
clear class?
Yes teacher
Good!

D. Application
Class, I will group you into two. This will be the
first group (right table) and the second group (left
table).

For the first group, I want you to illustrate the

Female Reproductive System. Then, trace the
journey of the egg cell from its production to
implantation.
Color your work and make it neat.
Provide a brief explanation about your illustration
below.

For the second group, I will give you a handout.

Looking at another angle, identify the parts of the
Female Reproductive System.
Below the illustration, use a table to enumerate
the parts and functions of the female reproductive
system.
Yes teacher!
Am I clear class?
Okay you may now start, go to your groups and
