B. Exploration
 The teacher will group the students into 4 mainly boys and girls then each
group will be given an illustration board to draw a body of an adult woman and
a man which is flashed on the television as a reference. The girls will draw a
body of a woman then the boys will draw the body of a man.

Directions:
Look at yourself as a reference and identify what are the differences between
your body to the body of an adult you have drawn. Each group will choose two
representatives to present and explain their work, one as a presenter and then
the other one as a reference to a body’s child.

C. Explanation
The teacher will explain what are the changes during puberty then after the
discussion, the teacher will show a video on proper hygiene and how to put on
a sanitary napkin for girls.

What is puberty?
Puberty is the time when a child like you moves through a series of
significant, natural, and healthy changes. These physical, psychological, and
 emotional changes are a sign that you are moving from childhood toward
adulthood.
Changes in puberty include:
 Physical growth and development inside and outside children’s bodies
 Changes to children’s sexual organs
 Brain Changes
 Social and emotional changes
When does puberty start?
Puberty starts when the changes in a child’s brain cause sex hormones to start
being released from the gonads, which are the ovaries and testes.
Puberty typically happens around 10-11 years for girls and around 11-12 years for
boys.
But it is normal for girls to start puberty at the age of 8-13 years old and for boys
9-14 years old.
There is no way to know exactly when will a child start puberty. Early changes in a
child’s brain and hormone levels can’t be seen from the outside, so it’s easy to
think that puberty hasn’t started.
Puberty can be completed in about 18 months, or it can take up to 5 years. This
range is also completely normal.

In girls, these are the main external physical changes in puberty that you can
expect.

Around 10-11 years

 Your Breasts will start developing. This is the first visible sign that puberty is
starting. It’s normal for the left and right breasts to grow at different speeds.
It’s also common for the breasts to be a bit tender as they develop. If you want
a bra, a soft crop top or sports bra can be a good first choice.
 A growth spurt occurs. Some parts of the body – like the head, face, and hands
– might grow faster than the limbs and torso. This might result in your child
looking out of proportion for a while. On average, girls grow 5-20 cm. They
usually stop growing at around 16-17 years.
 The body shape will change. For example, a girl’s hips will widen. The external
genitals (vulva) and pubic hair will start to grow. Pubic hair will get darker and
thicker over time.

Around 12-14 years (about two years after breast development starts)

 Hair will start growing under the arms. A clear or white discharge from the
vagina starts several months before periods start. If the discharge bothers
you, you could use a panty liner.
 Periods will usually start within 2 years of breast growth starting, but can take
up to 4 years.

In boys, these are the main external physical changes in puberty that you can
expect.

Around 11- 12 years

 The external genitals (penis, testes, and scrotum) will start to grow. It’s normal
for one testis to grow faster than the other. You can reassure that men’s testes
usually aren’t the same size.
 Pubic hair will start to grow. It will get darker and thicker over time. Around
12-14 years
 You will have a growth spurt. You will get taller and your chest and shoulders
will get broader. Some parts of your body – like your head, face, and hands –
might grow faster than your limbs and torso. This might result in looking out of
proportion for a while. On average, boys grow 10-30 cm. They usually stop
growing at around 18-20 years.
 It’s common for boys to have minor breast development. If you are worried by
this, it’s normal and usually goes away by itself.

Around 13-15 years

 Hair will start growing on other parts of your body – under the arms, on the
face, and on the rest of the body. Leg and arm hair will thicken. Some young
men will grow more body hair into their early 20s.
 The hormone testosterone is produced, which stimulates the testes to
produce sperm.
 You might start having erections and ejaculating (releasing sperm). During this
period, erections often happen for no reason at all. Just to let you know that
this is normal and that people don’t usually notice. Ejaculation during sleep is
often called a ‘wet dream.
Around 14-15 years
The larynx (‘Adam’s apple or voice box) will become more obvious. Your child’s
larynx will get larger and their voice will ‘break’, eventually becoming deeper.
Some boys’ voices move from high to low and back again, even in one sentence.
This will stop in time.
Other physical changes in puberty: inside and out
Brain
Teenage brain development affects your behavior and social skills. You will begin
to develop, improved self-control and skills in planning, problem-solving, and
decision-making. This process will continue into your mid-20s.
Bones, organs, and body systems
Many of your organs will get bigger and stronger. Lung performance improves,
limbs grow, and bones increase in thickness and volume
Clumsiness
Because children grow so fast during puberty, their centers of gravity change, and
their brains might take a while to adjust. This might affect your balance. You
might see a bit more clumsiness for a while, and you might be more likely to be
injured.

Physical strength
Muscles increase in strength and size during this period. Your hand-eye
coordination will get better over time, along with motor skills like ball-catching
and throwing.

Weight
You will gain weight and need more healthy food. Teenagers’ stomachs and
intestines increase in size, and they need more energy, proteins, and minerals.
Foods with plenty of calcium and iron are important for bone growth and blood
circulation.
Sleep patterns
Sleep patterns change, and many children start to stay awake later at night and
sleep until later in the day.
Sweat
A new type of sweat gland in the armpit and genital area develops during
puberty. Skin bacteria feed on the sweat this gland produces, which can lead to
body odor. Hygiene is important.
Skin and hair
Glands in the skin on the face, shoulders, and back start to become more active
during puberty, producing more oil. This can lead to skin conditions like acne.

You might find your hair gets oilier, then you need to wash it more and this is
normal,
Teeth
Children will get their second molars at around 13 years of age. Third molars –
‘wisdom teeth’ – might appear between 14 and 25 years. These teeth can appear
in singles, pairs, as a full set of 4 wisdom teeth – or not at all. Healthy teeth and
gums are vital to your teenage health, so teenage dental care is important.

presentation, everyone glued their eyes on the screen and attempted to answer
the questions asked of them.
VII. Reflection

It is quite difficult to teach this kind of topic but as a teacher, it is our duty and
responsibility to teach all the knowledge they need to know.
