Subject: Basic Science

Class: JSS 1
Term: First Term
Week: 10
Age: 10-11 years
Topic: Reproductive System
Sub-topic: Male and Female Reproductive Organs

Duration: 40 minutes

Behavioural Objectives:

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1. Identify the male reproductive organs (internal and external).

Keywords:

• Reproductive system: The organs involved in producing offspring.
• Male reproductive organs: Parts of the male body involved in reproduction.

• Internal organs: Organs located inside the body.
• External organs: Organs located outside the body.

Set Induction:

Ask the students: “What do you know about how living things reproduce? What parts of the body are involved in this process?” This will lead into a discussion about the male and female reproductive systems.

Content:

1. Male Reproductive Organs – Internal and External

• External Organs:
  • Penis: The external organ used for sexual intercourse and the elimination of urine.
  • Scrotum: A sac that holds and protects the testicles.
• Internal Organs:
  • Testes (Testicles): Produce sperm and the hormone testosterone.
  • Epididymis: A tube where sperm mature and are stored.
  • Vas deferens: A tube that transports sperm from the testes to the urethra.
  • Seminal vesicles and Prostate gland: Produce fluids that nourish and protect sperm.

2. Female Reproductive Organs – Internal and External

• External Organs:
  • Vulva: The external part of the female genitalia.
  • Labia: Folds of skin that protect the vaginal opening.
  • Clitoris: A sensitive organ involved in sexual pleasure.
• Internal Organs:
  • Ovaries: Produce eggs (ova) and the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
  • Fallopian tubes: Transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
  • Uterus: A muscular organ where a fertilized egg develops into a baby.
  • Vagina: The passage through which menstrual blood leaves the body and the baby is delivered during childbirth.

3. Functions of Male and Female Reproductive Organs

• Male Reproductive Organs:
  • Produce and transport sperm.
  • Produce the hormone testosterone.
  • Facilitate sexual reproduction.
• Female Reproductive Organs:
  • Produce eggs (ova).
  • Produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
  • Provide a place for fertilization and the development of a baby (uterus).

4. Care for the Reproductive Organs

• Hygiene:
  • Regular cleaning of the external organs is important to prevent infections.
  • Wear clean underwear and practice good hygiene.
• Medical Checkups:
  • Regular checkups with a healthcare provider help to monitor reproductive health.
• Avoid Harmful Practices:
  • Avoid using harmful chemicals or tight clothing that may damage the reproductive organs.
