I. OBJECTIVES

A. Content Standard The learners demonstrates an understanding of:

1. organisms are having feedback
mechanisms, which are coordinated by the
nervous and endocrine systems
2. how these feedback mechanisms help the
organism maintain homeostasis to
reproduce and survive.

B. Performance Standard Not Applicable

C. Learning Competencies or Learning Competency: Explain the role of

Objectives hormones involved in the female and male
reproductive systems
Code: S10LTIIIb-34

Value to be Integrated: PERSONAL

DISCIPLINE

Value Concept:
Personal discipline refers to controlling one's self,
overcoming weakness, and pursuing something
right despite the temptations. This is also
encouraging good behavior that is necessary for an
individual to resist unhealthy desires and tolerate
the inconvenience needed to reach their long-term
goals. Hence, this is significant for the topic in this
lesson plan which is the role of the hormones
involved in the reproductive system as this focuses
on one's sexuality, menstrual period, sperm and
egg growth, and pregnancy. Considering the
societal issues about teenage pregnancy that are
commonly involved by the age range of Grade 10
learners, they must be reminded of the value of
 personal discipline to motivate them to control
inappropriate desires amidst temptations.
Furthermore, self-discipline will also serve as a
guide for them to be more motivated to abstain
from having sex to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of an hour’s lesson, the pupils will be
able to:
C - Identify the importance and functions of
hormones involved in the female and male
reproductive systems;
P - connects the lesson to personal experiences;
and
A - displays personal discipline in relating the
topic to self and real-world situations.

V. PROCEDURES

A. Elicit Activity#1: Where do I belong?

(Recall/Priming/Drill) Procedure:
● The teacher will present four images
consisting of different organs.
● Then the learners will guess what organ
system the pictures belong to.

Direction:
Look at each organ picture and identify what organ
system they belong to.
Note:
● Nervous System - This organ system
sends messages from the brain to the
different parts of the body and vice versa.
● Endocrine System - This organ system
consists of glands and organs that are
responsible for releasing different kinds of
hormones to control and coordinate the
body's growth, mood, and development.
● Reproductive System - This organ system
consists of tissues, glands, and organs that
are responsible for producing offspring
 (children).

B. Engage Activity#2: Make a Caption

(Establish and/or present lesson Procedure:
goals/Connect) ● The teacher will present a picture of teenage
parents with their children and ask the class
to give it a caption and explain its meaning.

Direction:
Give a caption for the picture and explain its
meaning.

Processing Question:
1. What issue do you think is the message
given by the picture?
2. Do you think the issue in this picture greatly
affects your age range? Why?
3. As teenagers, what do you think you must
possess to prevent yourself from having
sexual intercourse that leads to teenage
pregnancy?
4. In what ways can you show personal
discipline with regard to this issue?

C. Explore Activity#3: What are your changes?

(Scientific Inquiry/Common Procedure:
Experience) ● The teacher will divide the class into three
and assign them to start in a specific
brainstorming station for carousel
brainstorming.
● Each brainstorming station contains a title
such as Physical, Intellectual, or Emotional
 and a blank paper where they can write the
changes that are commonly
encountered/observed while growing up in a
specific aspect.
● The paper is divided into two, the changes
experienced by boys will be written on the
left side of the paper, while the girls will be
on the right side.
● Each group will be given 1 minute to provide
their answer individually and learn from the
answers of their classmates before going to
the next brainstorming station.
● After the activity, the teacher will present
and synthesize the answer of the class.

Direction:
The class will be divided into three and will be
assigned to start on a specific brainstorming
station. In each brainstorming station, you will write
the changes commonly encountered by every
individual while growing up in a specific aspect.
Each group will be given 1 minute to read the
previous answers and provide their own
individually before going to the next brainstorming
station. Repetition of the answers is allowed but not
encouraged.
 Guide Questions:
1. Do you agree with one another’s answer about
how you changed?
2. How old are you when you experienced most of
these changes?
3. What do you think is the main reason for these
changes?

D. Explain/Execute Activity#4: Let’s Unjumble to Learn!

(Guide students in discussing and Procedure:
practicing new skills) ● The teacher will present an image and
jumble letters
● Then the learners will guess the word, and
the teacher will discuss it.
Direction:
Identify the picture by unjumbling the letters
Note:
● Hormones - it is a chemical substance that
has the function of transmitting messages
throughout the body that causes notable
effects.
● Pituitary - It is a gland that secretes several
hormones. It is placed at the base of the
brain and is responsible for stimulating the
growth of the body and controlling the
function of other endocrine glands in
secreting and releasing hormones. It means
that this is mainly responsible for the growth
that an individual had during the puberty
 stage.
● Reproductive Hormones refer to the
hormones that are instrumental in puberty,
sexuality, and fertility. These hormones
have a role in pregnancy, puberty,
menstruation, menopause, sex drive, sperm
production, and more.
● Ovaries - This is responsible for producing
eggs and serves as a gland that releases
hormones which are the:
○ Progesterone- This hormone
supports reproductive function and
aids the body to be prepared for
pregnancy once the egg is fertilized
by making the uterine lining thicker.
○ Estrogen - This hormone influences
female traits, supports reproductive
function, and works to regulate the
menstrual cycle and maintain
pregnancy.
■ Follicles - This refers to the
small sacs inside the ovaries
that contain the egg cells and
hormones. It is also
responsible for the pregnancy
and menstrual cycle.
● Testes - This is responsible for sperm
production and serves as a gland that
releases hormones which are the:
○ Androgen - This is the hormone that
contributes to the male’s sex drive
and controls maturity, body density,
and male characteristics.
○ Testosterone - This hormone is the
most potent androgen and has a
function that is the same as androgen
as it also contributes to the male’s
sex drive, and controls maturity, body
density, and male characteristics.
■ Prostate - This is a gland
located under the urinary
bladder and is responsible for
giving enzymes to nourish
semen/sperm for it to survive.
