A picture will be shown in

the next slide, your task is

to find all the six (6)
hidden words embedded in
the picture. These words had
something to do with today's
topic!
Menstruations Follicular
Phase Phase

Luteal Ovulation
Phase Phase
 Menstruations Follicular
Phase Phase

• It is a natural yet
complex cycle controlled
by female hormones that
cause regular bleeding
(periods).
• It is chain of activities Luteal Ovulation
in the brain, ovaries, and Phase Phase
uterus linked to
hormones.
You will be group into four (4). Each
group will move from station to
station to read and interpret the
phases of the menstrual cycle. These
phrases will help you summarize the
events of the menstrual cycle by
completing the table. One (1) minute
is the allotted time for each station.
PHASE DAYS EVENT
Days:
• 1 to 5
Event:
• Estrogen and
progesterone levels are
low
• Endometrium sheds
• Follicle growth in ovary
Days:
• 6 to 13
Event:
• FSH stimulates follicle
to grow and mature
• Secretes estrogen
• Endometrium thickens
Day:
• 14
Event:
• LH levels is very high
causing oocyte to
burst from the follicle
in the ovary into
oviduct
Day:
• 15 to 28
Event:
• LH causes corpus luteum
to develop from follicle
• Corpus luteum secretes
estrogen and
progesterone
• Endometrium thicken and
is maintained;
Progesterone is
preventing contractions.
• Inhibits LH and FSH
• Process through which the
level of a certain substance
influence the level of another
substances.
• Important to maintain
homeostasis

Using the same groups in the Science
Trip Activity, each group will take a
group quiz. One question will be
shown at a time, and you will discuss
your answers. On the que of the
teachers, each group will raise their
answers. One correct answer is
equivalent to one point.
