during fertilization and non-fertilization and explain the process of
menstruation.

Strategy:
1. Have the class blow up balloons to show state of change.
2. Begin board activity with words that denote change (SEASONS, BALD, DAY,

3. Use transparencies to show and explain different parts of the female
reproductive organs. The students will trace the journey of the egg from the
ovaries on the plexiglass model.
4. The students will view a video on puberty and discuss its contents.
5. The class will review, on the chalkboard, those changes that occur in the
female.
Performance Assessment:

the female. The class will be able to trace the passage of the egg cell during
fertilization and non-fertilization. Student will be aware and understand those
physical changes that occur during puberty.
