III. Procedures

“Teacher’s Activity” Student’s Activity”

A. Daily Routine
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance

B. Motivation
Let’s have an activity first. What you will do
is you look or search for the words in the
puzzle that is connected to the female
reproductive system. The words are set
horizontally, vertically, diagonally or
backwards.
Yes ma’am
Are you ready? Possible answers
luteinizing hormone
progesterone
estrogen
 hormones
Ovaries
fallopian Tubes
uterus
cervix
vagina

C. Presentation
Last time we talk about male reproductive FSH, LH and Testosterone
system and the role of hormones involved in
MRS.
If you still remember what are the hormones
secreted in MRS?

That’s right

Today we will talk about female reproductive

system

D. Lesson Proper
Produces female sex cells,
If male reproductive system has 3 main
Receives sperm from the male,
functions, female reproductive system also

has functions.
nourishments for the new individual

What are the functions of female reproductive

system?

Very Good
Female reproductive system is responsible for
the production of female gamete and for Zygote is fertilized egg cell that results from
receiving the male gamete. It is also the site the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum)
of fertilization and development of the zygote
 with a male gamete (sperm).
What is zygote?

Now, let’s proceed to the parts of FRS
Who can give the parts of female reproductive
system?
That’s right. Aside from what she have said,
who can give another function of vagina?
Vagina receives the penis of male during
mating
It also provides a passageway for blood and
mucosal tissue from the uterus during a
woman's monthly period.

it produces egg cells

Very good. Another part of FRS is ovary, so

what is the function of ovary?

Very Good
One of a pair of female glands in which the
eggs form and the female hormones estrogen
and progesterone are made. These hormones
play an important role in female traits, such as
breast development, body shape and body
hair. We will tackle hormones further later on.
Also ovary involved in the menstrual cycle,
fertility and pregnancy.
(The student will locate the fallopian tube)
Another part of FRS is fallopian tube.

Based on the picture where are the fallopian

tubes located?
 Uterus serves as site of egg implantation and
is where the fertilized egg develops

Cervix
Very Good
Fallopian tube serves as the passageway of
eggs from the ovary to the uterus also a site of A passage that allows fluids to flow inside
fertilization and out of the uterus.

What else?

That’s right. What else?

So, what is the function of cervix

• Follicle-stimulating hormone
• Luteinizing hormone
• Estrogen and Progesterone
Very Good
The female reproductive system is regulated
by hormonal interactions between the
hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, and
ovaries.

So, what are the hormones secreted in FRS?

Estrogen

Very Good. If male secretes FSH and LH,

Responsible for development of the female
female also secretes FSH and LH. In female body and the secondary sexual characters. It
FSH and LH helps control the menstrual cycle helps decelerate height increase in females
and the production of eggs by the ovaries. during puberty, accelerates burning of body
fat and reduces muscle bulk.
Aside from FSH and LH, what other hormone
that female have?

Very Good
Can you read the functions of estrogen?

These are the effects of Estrogen

- Estrogen help in the growth and
maintenance of hormone sensitive
breast cancer Will result to infertility ma’am
- Estrogen is considered to play a
significant role in women’s mental
health Decrease sex drive
- They improve collagen content and
quality, increase skin thickness and
improve blood supply to the skin.
- Estrogen deficiency increases the risk
of heart disease

Now, what do you think will happen if you

have too much estrogen?

Very Good, Any other idea?

That’s right. These are the symptoms of

having too much estrogen
• Bloating Symptoms of low estrogen in women
 • Swelling and tenderness in your • Painful sex due to a lack of vaginal
breasts lubrication
• Decreased sex drive • An increase in urinary tract infection
• Irregular menstrual periods (UTIs) due to the thinning of the
• Mood swings urethra
• Headaches • Irregular or absent periods
• Anxiety and panic attacks • Shifts in mood
• Weight gain • Depression
• Hair loss • Trouble concentrating

Now, what will happen if the estrogen is too

low

It regulates menstrual cycle ma’am

Another hormone secretes in female is

progesterone
Now, what do you think is the role of
progesterone in female reproductive system?
None ma’am

None ma’am
That’s right
Its main functions are regulating menstruation
and supporting pregnancy in the female body
and sperm production.
Symptoms of low progesterone
• Absence of menstruation
They help develop and maintain female sex
• Miscarriage
characteristics and play an important role in
• Poor ovarian function
fertility, pregnancy and the menstrual cycle.

E. Generalization
Do you have any question?
 Any clarification?

Since you don’t have questions, I’ll be the

one to ask

What is the role of hormones in women?

That’s right. I hope you have learned

something today.

F. Application
Since we are done discussing male and female
reproductive. Now let’s have an activity. Get
½ sheet of paper and answer the following
question. I will just give you 5 minutes to
answer.

1. What is the most important organ of the

male and female reproductive system? Why?
2. Do you think you went through changes
and development? How?

IV. Evaluation
Direction: Fill in the crossword puzzle with words taken from the readings in either across or
downward direction using the given descriptions as guide. (see attached activity sheet)

V. Assignment
Do an advance reading about feedback mechanism in the menstrual cycle
1. What is menstrual cycle?
2. What are the phases of menstrual cycle?
Reference: Science Learner’s Material pp, 251-254
