1. Review: Encircle the group of letters to form a word related to HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.

1.) The period following the onset of puberty during which a young person develops from a child into an adult.
2.) The age range of children normally attending school.
3.) The period in the human lifespan in which full physical and intellectual maturity have been attained.
4.) The state or period of early childhood or babyhood.

2. Motivation: A PROBLEM SOLVER!

Directions: Solve the given mathematical problems below to decode the words asked. Remember to
follow MDAS. Each letter of the alphabet represents a number. Refer to the table below.

B-15 F-38 J-68 N-90 R-24 V-29 Z-8
C-25 G-78 K-O 0-88 S-27 W-79
D-18 H-28 L-48 P-5 T-15 X-100

TRIVIA ALERT!
MDAS- is the order of operation in Mathematics. This represents multiplication, division, addition and
subtraction. Over time, mathematicians have developed a set of rules called the order of operations to
determine which operation to do first. Order of operations tells you to perform multiplication and division
first, working from left to right, before doing addition and subtraction. Continue to perform multiplication
and division from left to right. Next, add and subtract from left to right.

A D O L E S C E N C E

Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood. Children who are entering
adolescence are going through many changes (physical, intellectual, personality and social
developmental). Adolescence begins at puberty, which now occurs earlier, on average, than in the past.
The end of adolescence is tied to social and emotional factors and can be somewhat ambiguous.

5. Discussion Proper
CHANGES DURING ADOLESCENCE
A. Physical Changes
The physical transformations observed during adolescence are, in most cases, the result of
hormonal changes as the teenager’s body is transformed from child to adult. This phase, called puberty,
starts between the ages of 9 and 16 and usually ends between the ages of 18 and 22.
These are some of the general changes that happen to adolescent boys and girls during puberty.
• There is a rapid increase in height and weight. Boys experience this usually two years later than girls.
• Changes happen in the circulatory and respiratory system. The heart and lungs grow bigger and work
better, although the increase is more in boys than in girls.
• In body composition, muscles develop rapidly, although boy’s muscle grow faster than girls. Body fat
increases, although the increase in girl’s body fat is more than boys.
• The reproductive organ of both boys and girls grows and develops.
Primary sex characteristics are changes directly related to sexual reproduction. The reproductive organs of
both boys and girls grow and develop. The boys experience their first release of seminal fluid or
ejaculation from the penis. The girls experience menarche or the onset of menstruation which signals the
possibility of fertility among women.
Secondary sex characteristics are changes not directly related to sexual reproduction.

B. Mental or Intellectual Changes

Studies have shown that the brain makes significant changes as a child grows through puberty
into adulthood. As a child becomes teen, he or she is more able to think abstractly, and more importantly,
more able to empathize with others. Here are some of the changes an adolescent might experience:
• Adolescents are egocentric. This means caring too much about yourself and not about other people.
They argue to convince, exhibit independent and critical thought.
• Adolescents prefer active and cooperative learning activities over passive learning experiences.
• Adolescents enjoy learning skills to apply to real life problems and situations.
• Adolescents have a tendency to become bored with routine activities: they need to be challenged.
• Adolescents are capable of thinking critically helping them understand issues and concerns about their
development.

C. Emotional Changes
This is one of the important dimensions of health. This includes both positive and negative
reactions as follows:
• Erratic emotions and behaviors, mood swings are mostly experienced and felt.
• Emotions that are frightening and poorly understood, often triggered by hormonal
imbalance, may cause regression and more childish behavior patterns.
• As part of being moody and restless, they are introspective and often feel self-
conscious, alienated, and lack of self-esteem.
• Adolescents are easily offended and sensitive to criticism, vulnerable to one sided
arguments and criticism
• Adolescents are being optimistic and hopeful, searching for adult identity and
acceptance.

D. Social Changes
Social wellness refers to your ability to interact with people, respect yourself and others, develop
meaningful relationships and develop quality communication skills.
• The adolescent may act out unusual or drastic. At times, he/she may be aggressive,
daring, boisterous and argumentative.
• Adolescents are being rebellious towards parents, but still strongly depend on
parental values.
• Adolescents have negative interactions with peers, parents, and teachers. They may
compromise ideals and commitments.
• Adolescents distrust relationship with others who show lack of sensitivity to adolescent
needs.
• Adolescents enjoy with friends, who share the same interests with them so they stay
longer with them after school.

E. Moral- Spiritual Changes

Adolescents on this stage, analyze themselves and find out who they are. They explore moral and
ethical issues.
• They explore and ask broad unanswerable questions about the meaning of life.
• They are reflective, introspective and analytical about their thoughts and feelings.
• They depend on influences of home and religious institutions for moral and ethical
choices and behaviors.
• They analyze strengths and weaknesses to understand and accept themselves better.
• They learn house rules imposed by parents to promote order and harmony.

ACTIVITY 1
Directions: In a white paper you will create a drawing of a human body and
emphasize the parts of human body that represents each dimension of health.

In the drawing below, you will write each dimension of health and give at least 2
instances or situation that shows the changes in adolescence based on your own
experience during your adolescence stage. A volunteer will present his illustration.
 6. EVALUATION:
