II: Learning Objectives:

a. To identify the basic anatomy/physiology of the female/male reproductive system
b. To assess the functions of the different organs of the reproductive system
c. To know the importance of the reproductive system to our success as a species

III: Learning Materials/Resources:

PowerPoint slides, projector, handouts, cut-out diagrams, video clips, pens

IV: Learning Experiences/Procedure:

A. Pre-lesson (ENGAGE)
 The teacher will start by asking the students the following questions:
a. What are the major organs that make up the male reproductive system that you
know?
b. What are the major organs that make up the female reproductive system that you
know?
c. Why would it be important for a person to know about the reproductive system?
 The students will then be asked to group and will be asked to discuss their answers to
their groupmates. The teacher will then call some representatives to share their answers.
 The class will then proceed to watch a short video on the Human Reproductive System.
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3ft7TkiNrXxNHVPR0lCV0lndHc/view?usp=sharing)
 After the video showing, insights of the student will be asked through calling out
representatives from the groups.
 The lesson objective will then be laid out by the teacher.

B. Lesson Proper (EXPLORE & EXPLAIN)

EXPLORE

Lesson proper will commence with an activity. The students in the activity will act as scientists
that will investigate the human reproductive system.

 With the same groupings, the teacher will divide the groups into 2 clusters. (1 – Male
Reproductive System, 2 – Female Reproductive System)
 Handout Master #3 will be given to each of the group.
 Next, groups in Cluster 1 will be given Handout Master #1 while Cluster 2 will receive
Handout Master #2.
 Working in their groups, students will follow the directions on Blackline Master #3.
Students will match the picture of the reproductive organ/structure to the appropriate
description and complete the lab activity diagram and table for the reproductive system
they were assigned.
 (During the EXPLORE part of the lesson, the TEACHER MUST walk around to monitor
the students’ progress and assist in correcting misconceptions & mistakes when the
students think they are finished with the match-up. Failure to correct the students’
mistakes on the match-up before the EXPLAIN and ELABORATE will result in the
learning and teaching of misinformation.)
 While students are exploring, some questions that the teacher can ask to help guide their
learning include:
o Were there characteristics of the description, name, or shape of the organs that
helped you match their name and function to the picture?
o What made you decide to match that structure up with that function?
o Which structures were the easiest or most difficult to match up with their
description? Why?
o Which structures are you still uncertain about?

EXPLAIN

 Students will complete the reflection questions for the reproductive system they were
assigned and complete the tables.
 Once the students are finished with the reflection questions and complete the tables,
students that worked on the male reproductive system will pair up with a group that
worked on the female reproductive system.
 Students will explain the various structures/organs of the reproductive system and their
correct functions to the other group. The other group will record these findings on their
lab sheet and vice versa.

C. Post Lesson (ELABORATE & EVALUATE)

ELABORATE

 The newly formed group pairings (one male reproductive system and one female
reproductive system) will then be asked to work together to write a story, digital story,
drawing, skit or activity of their choosing to explain the importance of the reproductive
system to our success as a species.
 Students will then share their project with the class. Students will use this time to
compare how each journey to fertilization is similar/different.

EVALUATE

Formal/Summative Evaluation
 Final project and completed worksheet (Handout Master #3) can be graded and based
on two components:
o Accuracy of pairing the picture cards with the appropriate descriptions
(completing the table correctly)
o Accuracy of the explanation of the process of fertilization and how both
systems worked together to create an individual.

HANDOUT MASTER #3

Name_________________________________________Period_______Date______________
The Real Story of Where Babies Come From
Instructions: You are a scientist who is studying the sexual reproduction system and trying to
understand how an individual is formed. For this activity your task is to learn about the different
reproductive organs/structures and then develop a story explaining how an embryo is formed.
This activity is divided up into four parts: matching, reflecting, collaborating, and
creating.

1.) Matching - Working with your group, match the picture of the reproductive
organ/structure with the correct name and description card.

2.) Reflecting - Complete the diagram and table below for the reproductive system that
you investigated. Answer the questions about the system that you investigated.

Female Reproductive System:

Organ/Structure Main Function

a.) The female reproductive cell is the egg. Where do you think the eggs come from? Predict
what their journey might be like once ovulation has occurred. Tell about the journey of the egg
and the parts of the female reproductive system that they encounter along the way.

b.) Explain why the picture of the female reproductive system is considered a model. Explain
some of the limitations of the model of the female reproductive system.

Male Reproductive System:

Organ/Structure Main Function

a.) The male reproductive cell is the sperm. Where do you think the sperm come from? Predict what
their journey might be like from the time they are formed to the time they exit the body. Tell about
the journey of the sperm and the parts of the male reproductive system that they encounter along
the way.

3.) Collaborating - Working in your same groups, join a different group (with the
opposite reproductive system) and explain your findings. Also, be sure to record the other
groups' findings in the appropriate table (above).

4.) Creating - Working in your new groups, create a story of your combined observations on the
male and female reproductive systems and explain how these systems work together to create
an individual. You may create a digital story, skit, picture book or something of your choosing to
tell your story. Be sure to refer to the grading rubric for clarifications on expectations. At the
end, all groups will share their stories with the entire class.
