Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 10

Objective: Explain the role of hormones in the female and male reproductive
system

Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics - Understanding the relationship between hormone levels and

reproductive functions involves analyzing data and making predictions, which aligns
with mathematical skills.

2) Social Studies - Exploring the cultural and societal implications of reproductive

health and understanding how hormones influence behaviors and norms in different
cultures.

3) Language Arts - Writing persuasive essays or narratives on the importance of

hormonal balance in reproductive health, integrating scientific knowledge with
language skills.

ELICIT:

Teaching Strategy: Brainstorming

Instructional Materials: None required

Anecdote 1 - Using traditional Filipino folk stories to illustrate the importance of

balance and harmony in nature, similar to the balance of hormones in the body.

Anote 2 - Sharing personal experiences or stories related to puberty and the

changes in the body during adolescence, connecting it to the role of hormones.

ENGAGE:

Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing

Instructional Materials: Visual aids, props

1) Idea - Students act out scenarios where different hormonal imbalances affect the
reproductive system, prompting discussions on the consequences.

2) Idea - Conduct a debate on ethical considerations of hormone therapy and its

impact on reproductive health.

EXPLORE:

Activity 1: Hormone Experiment

Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials: Various hormones, models of reproductive systems

Significance: Hands-on exploration of hormone functions in reproduction

Instructions:

1) Students will identify different hormones and their functions in the reproductive
system.

2) They will conduct experiments to observe the effects of hormone levels on

reproductive processes.

3) Rubric - Accuracy of observations - 15 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) How do hormones regulate the menstrual cycle in females?

2) Explain the role of testosterone in male reproductive health.

3) What happens when there is a hormonal imbalance in the reproductive system?

EXPLAIN: UTILIZE THE SOCRATIC METHOD TO ENGAGE STUDENTS IN

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE COMPLEXITIES OF HORMONE
INTERACTIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTIONS.

ELABORATE:
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Task 1 - Students design a hormone regulation plan for a fictional character going
through puberty.

Task 2 - Create a visual presentation illustrating the effects of hormone imbalances

on reproductive health.

EVALUATE:

Teaching Strategy: Concept Mapping

Instructional Materials: Graphic organizers

Question 1 - Map out the relationship between hormones and reproductive functions.

Question 2 - Analyze the impact of stress hormones on fertility.

Question 3 - Compare and contrast the roles of estrogen and progesterone in the
female reproductive system.

EXTEND:

Teaching Strategy: Real-Life Scenario

Instructional Materials: Case studies

Encourage students to apply their understanding of hormone functions to analyze

real-world scenarios related to reproductive health issues.

Assignment:

1) Research Assignment

Overview: Students research a specific hormone related to reproductive health and

its impact on fertility.
Assessment Question: Present your findings in a scientific report format, including
the hormone's role, effects, and potential disorders.

2) Creative Assignment

Overview: Create a storyboard or comic strip illustrating the journey of a hormone

through the male and female reproductive systems.

Assessment Question: Explain the importance of hormonal balance for

reproductive health in your storyboard.
