CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON ONE – INTRODUCTION 

Teacher’s Activities – Asks the pupils, how animals (chicken and goat as examples) produce their young ones.

Pupil’s response – Explain how the chicken and goat produce their young.

Teacher’s remark – Listen to the pupils and give a great cheer for quick response. Introduce the lesson as –

 

On board, copy as I write.

INTRODUCTION TO REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM 

All animals reproduce their young ones sexually. This happens when a male and a female animal of the same type mate.

After mating, the female may lay eggs as in the case of chickens, ducks and other animals like fishes, insects and frogs. These eggs later hatch into young animals.

In other animals like goats, cows, dogs, etc., after the male and the female mate, the female carries the pregnancy and later gives birth to the young animal alive.

 

 

Like other living things, human beings reproduce. It’s what keeps the population going. In humans, this happens when the male and female reproductive systems work together to make a baby.

 

Teacher’s remark – In this week lesson, we are going to be learning the human reproductive system.

 

LESSON TWO – MEANING OF REPRODUCTION 

Teacher’s Activities – Display a chart showing male and female reproductive systems for the pupils to identify and discuss.

Pupil’s Activities – Identify and discuss male and female reproductive systems.

Teacher’s remark – Listen to the pupils and great a great cheer for active and quick response. Discuss the meaning of reproduction in male and female.

 

On board, copy as I write.

WHAT IS REPRODUCTION? 

Reproduction is the process by which a living organism produces its young ones or likeness.

This is known as male and female reproductive organs 

 

On board, copy as I write.

LESSON 3 – FUNCTIONS OF MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

There are two (2) reproductive organs – male and female reproductive organs.

 

On board, copy as I write.

MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN 

Male reproductive organ produce sperms and transfer it to the female reproductive organ to get fertilized and produce the new one of their kind.

 

On board, copy as I write.

FUNCTIONS OF MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM 

1. It produces sperm.

 

 

2. It transfers sperms to the ovum.

 

On board, copy as I write.

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN 

It functions in producing ovum (eggs) and when get fuse with the male gamete (sperms), produces the young ones and nurture it till the full growth before birth.

 

On board, copy as I write.

FUNCTIONS OF FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN 

1. it produces ovum (eggs)

2. It receives and fertilizes the male sperm.

3. It supports the development of the growing embryo.

4. It provides nourishment to the infants (newborn) by secreting milk in mammary glands (breast).

 

LESSON EVALUATION/ASSIGNMENT – DRAW AND LABEL MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS 

 

PRESENTATION

To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:

1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson. Based on this, he/she asks the pupils some questions;

2. Asks pupils to briefly discuss how the animals reproduce their young ones (as learnt in primary 5).

Pupil’s activities – Briefly discuss how the animals reproduce their young ones.

3. Guides pupils to explain what is reproduction.

Pupil’s Activities – Explain what reproduction is.

4. Asks pupils to examine and identify male and female reproductive systems.

Pupil’s Activities – Identify the male and female reproductive systems.

5. Tells pupils to draw and label male and female reproductive systems.

Pupil’s Activities – Drawing and labeling male and female reproductive systems.

 

 

6. Discusses the functions of male and female reproductive systems.

Pupil’s Activities – State the functions of male and female reproductive systems.

7. Classroom Note – as noted in each activities.

 

CONCLUSION

  • To conclude the lesson for the week, the teacher revises the entire lesson and links it to the following week’s lesson – responsible parenthood.

 

LESSON EVALUATION

Pupils to:

1. explain the meaning of reproduction in human beings;

2. mention the various organs of male and female reproductive system;

3. draw and label male and female reproductive systems;

4. state the functions of the organs of male and female reproductive system.
