THE CONCEPTION PERIOD

The first stage of human development is obviously the

conception. At this stage of development, a human being is
not yet a human. In fact, after the fertilization period, human
fertilization is defined as the union between egg and sperm
cells to cause a pregnancy. In humans, fertilization is an
internal process, which is to say, it takes place inside the
body of females, particularly in the Fallopian tubes, hence
the more specific term natural or fertilization.
 BIRTH: HOPE

When a baby is born, it is the beginning of

discovering life. From that point, the baby will
start learning many things in life. This stage is
considered as hope. A little human is nourished
not only by biological needs but also emotional
needs.
• Infancy is defined as the first year of life
and is the period of most rapid growth after
birth.
• A newborn, with a keen sense of hearing
but very poor vision is transformed into a
walking, talking toddler within a relatively
short period of time.
• Caregivers are also transformed from
someone who manages feeding and sleep
schedules to a constantly moving guide
and safety inspector for a mobile, energetic
child.
• Early childhood, defined as the period from birth
to eight years old, is a time of remarkable growth
with brain development at its peak.
• Early childhood is also referred to as the
preschool years consisting of the years which
follow toddlerhood and precede formal schooling.
• As a three to five-year-old, the child is busy
learning language, is gaining a sense of self and
greater independence, and is beginning to learn
the workings of the physical world.
• This knowledge does not come quickly, however,
and preschoolers may have initially have
interesting conceptions of size, time, space and
distance such as fearing that they may go down
the drain if they sit at the front of the bathtub or
by demonstrating how long something will take
by holding out their two index fingers several
inches apart. A toddler’s fierce determination to do
something may give way to a four-year-old’s
sense of guilt for doing something that brings the
disapproval of others.
MIDDLE Childhood
( Ages 6-8)
BUSINESS PLAN
In middle childhood, the sense of an inner
subjective self develops for the first time,
and this self is alive with images taken in
from the outer world, and brought up
from the depths of the unconscious.

Imagination
At six to eight years old, a child begins
to imagine and dig deeper towards his
inner world it is in this stage that the
creative self is brought to awareness.
The external world may serve as a point
of reference while cultivating and
discovering personal strengths and
creativities.
LATE Childhood ( Ages
9-11)
 When a child is nine to eleven years old,
he is now in the late childhood stage. At
this point, he has tremendous learnings
from the previous experiences.
Ingenuity
The principle of ingenuity lives in that part
of ourselves that ever seeks new ways to
solve practical problems and cope with
everyday responsibilities. He begins to
recognize the multiple possible approaches
to deal with societal pressure.
ADOLESCENCE
12 – 20 YEARS OLD
 PASSION
 This stage of human development is crucial. Between twelve and
twenty years old, an adolescent experiences different physical,
emotional, and even social challenges. In this stage, an adolescent is
in a constant clash between personal preference and social norms.

 All the decisions now are critical. An adolescent may learn that life is not as
simple as he might previously think. The social influence is sometimes
stronger than his free will. As a result, his attitude and behavior are shaped by
the imaginary governing rules of society
 CHARACTERISTICS OF ADOLESCENCE

 The biological event of puberty unleashes a powerful set of

changes in the adolescent body that reflect themselves in a
teenager’s sexual, physical, mental, emotional, cultural,
social, behavioral and/or spiritual passion.  Adolescence
passion thus represents a significant touchstone for anyone
who is seeking to reconnect with their deepest inner zeal for
life.
HOW PASSIONS HELP ADOLESCENCE
STAGE AND AVOID RISKS
20 – 35 YEARS OLD
ENTERPRISE
 This principle of  The person’s concern in
enterprise thus serves this stage is finding his
us at any stage of life own home, intimate
when we need to go out relationship, building his
into the world and make own family, and building a
our mark. Unlike the career. Gone are the days
previous stages, the of lollygagging. This is the
responsibility now is time to establish a stable
bigger. life and personal mark.
 It takes enterprise for young adults to accomplish their
many responsibilities, including finding a home,
establishing a family or circle of friends, and/or getting a
good job.
Midlife Midlife
(Ages 35-50)
Contemplation
After many years in young adulthood of following society’s scripts for
creating a life, people in midlife often take a break from worldly
responsibilities to reflect upon the deeper meaning of their lives, the
better to forge ahead with new understanding. This element of
contemplation represents an important resource that we can all draw
upon to deepen and enrich our lives at any age.
At this point, a person goes beyond just following the societal rules.
He then makes his own reflection about life and his experiences in the
previous developmental stages.
In addition, a person also provides guidance to the younger
generations and his siblings. With all the learning that he has, he is
now capable of helping others.
Mature Adulthood
Mature
Adulthood
(Ages 50-80):
Benevolence
Those in mature adulthood have raised families, established
themselves in their work life, and become contributors to the
betterment of society through volunteerism, mentorships, and other
forms of philanthropy. All of humanity benefits from their
benevolence. Moreover, we all can learn from their example to give
more of ourselves to others.
At this point, a person engages in social activities such as mentoring
and volunteering. People at this stage are usually focusing on the
larger context than themselves. They love spending time with others
and sharing their remaining strength for the common good.
Late Adulthood (Age
80+): Wisdom
 Those with long lives have acquired a rich repository of experiences that
they can use to help guide others.
 Elders thus represent the source of wisdom that exists in each of us,
helping us to avoid the mistakes of the past while reaping the benefits of
life’s lessons.
 An eighty years old person reaches the late adulthood stage. At this
point in the human development, a person is characterized with
wisdom. People in this stage have so much to share with the younger
generation.
 They are much more capable of providing guidance. The young ones
could learn from their lessons which in turn helps the younger
generation to avoid the same mistakes that the elders had made in their
lives.
Death & Dying
 This is the final stage.
 Death happens anytime. But even death is the final stage, it gives us
the ultimate lesson about life.
 Seeing people pass away makes us realize that life is not unlimited.
It is not how much time do we have, it is how we use our time to
accomplish good things that are not only beneficial to us but also to
the society.
 Those in our lives who are dying, or who have died, teach us about
the value of living.
 They remind us not to take our lives for granted, but to live each
moment of life to its fullest, and to remember that our own small
lives form of a part of a greater whole.

•The process of producing offspring is called reproduction.
•There are two methods of reproduction in plants, sexual reproduction and
asexual reproduction
•Flowers are the organs of reproduction, during pollination pollen grains
which contain male gametes fuse with the female gametes in the ovary seeds
are formed at the end of sexual reproduction
•In asexual reproduction vegetative parts of a parent plant directly produce
offspring there is no need for fusion between male and female gametes
examples of this include cutting layering grafting and budding no seeds are
formed at the end of asexual reproduction.

 What is flower?
A flower, sometimes known as a
bloom or blossom, is the reproductive
structure found in flowering plants.
The biological function of a flower is
to facilitate reproduction, usually by
providing a mechanism for the union
of sperm with eggs.
 The vegetative part of a flower
consists of the following:

PETALS This is a bright-colored part that

attracts bees, insects, and birds.
Color of petals varies from plant to
plant; some are bright while some
are pale colored. Thus, petals help us
to differentiate one flower from
another.
SEPALS
Sepal is the green-colored
part beneath the petals to
protect rising buds. Some
flowers have fused petals-
sepals while a few have
separated petals-sepals.
 Flower Pistil
The pistil is the female part
of the flower, and it's actually
made up of several parts,
usually arranged in the
shape of a bottle.
 Stamen
Stamens are the
structures that hold
the pollen. Pollen are
the male gametes of a
plant.
 TOPICS

POLLINATION FERTILIZATION
The What, Why, When,
Who, Where, How of
POLLINATION
 What is Pollination?

Pollination is an essential part of

plant reproduction. Pollen from a
flower’s anthers (the male part of the
plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator.
The pollinator then take this pollen to
another flower, where the pollen
sticks to the stigma (the female part).
 Why is pollination important?
• Pollination is important for a strong, healthy
ecosystem. One in three bites of food you eat
depends on pollinators.
Do you know which foods
depend on pollination?
All of these and MORE!
 When does pollination happen?

Successful pollination
requires year-round efforts.  SPRING
Plants evolved with differing  SUMMER
flowering times that decrease  FALL
competition among  WINTER
pollinators.
Who pollinates? Where do pollinators live?
Bees Beetles
Butterflies

Moths
Flies
Hummingbirds
Winds
 How can you help pollinators?

 You can help pollination by creating a pollinator-

friendly habitat without sacrificing aesthetics.
 Add diversity to your landscape with a beautiful
tapestry of native plants that evolved with local
pollinators and thrive under the conditions in your
region.
FERTILIZATION
 FERTILIZATION
Plant fertilization is the union of male and female gametes
(reproductive cells) to produce a zygote (fertilized egg).
Let's break the fertilization process down into four generalized
steps.
Step 1: Pollination
Step 2: Germination
Step 3: Penetration of the Ovule
Step 4: Fertilization
SEEDLING- Is a young
sporophyte developing out of
a plant embryo from a seed
*Parts of seed
•Seed coat-covers and protect the seed.
•embryo-forms new plant
•endosperm-acts as food for seed and nourishes
the embryo.
•germinate-when a seed begins to grow.
•cotyledon-the first leaves of a plant.
 The process of seeds developing into
new plants is called germination of
seeds. The most common example of
germination is the sprouting of a
seedling from a seed of an angiosperm
or gymnosperm.

GERMINATION
“Genetics are the inherited characteristics of the seed. A seed
bank (also seed banks or seeds bank) stores seeds to
preserve genetic diversity; hence it is a type of gene bank.
There are many reasons to store seeds. One is to preserve
the genes that plant breeders need to increase yield, disease
resistance, drought tolerance, nutritional quality, taste, etc.
of crops
 For plants, seed banks are a way to combat this threat. They are
an important part of a robust seed system for food security. Seed
banks protect and save plant genetic diversity, which is important
for a number of reasons. These saved and viable seeds contain a
treasure trove of useful genes that breeders can use for
developing improved varieties of our major food crops.

you want to talk about Mercury, you can say
