SCIENCE 5 (BIOLOGY) /QUARTER 2/ GRADE 5
A. Content Learners learnt that animals have systems that help them grow, respond, and reproduce.
Standards
B. Performance By the end of the Quarter, learners describe and create models of the body systems whose function is to help humans
Standards grow, develop, and reproduce. They use tables to group living things as plants, animals, or microorganisms. They use
skills of observation, predicting, measuring, and recording to plan and carry out a simple activity to observe the life
cycle of a plant and compare it to the life cycles of animals.
C. Learning The learners identify from pictures and labeled diagrams the parts of the female reproductive system as ovaries,
Competencies uterus, and vagina and those of the male reproductive system as the prostate, testis, and penis and describe how they
and Objectives work;
Lesson Objectives:
● Describe the parts of the female reproductive system
● Describe the parts of the male reproductive system
● Explain the function of male and female reproductive organs
● Explain the process of reproduction in humans

● To engage students and gauge their current understanding, start with guided
questions such as the following:
a. Can anyone describe what an embryo is?
b. How do you think an embryo is formed in the human body?
c. What is an embryo and at what stage of the human life cycle does it appear?
d. How does an embryo form inside the mother's body?
e. Why do you think both a male and a female are needed to create an embryo?
f. Can you name any parts of the male and female bodies that you think are important
for creating a new life?
g. How do you think the baby grows from an embryo to being born? What parts of the
mother's body help the baby grow?
h. What does the word 'reproduction' mean to you?
i. Why is reproduction considered an essential part of the life cycle?
j. How do you think the male and female bodies contribute to reproduction

students into small groups. The first group begins by sorting the word cards into the
correct boxes based on whether they belong to the male or female reproductive system.
After sorting, each group explains their reasoning for the placement of each card. Provide
feedback, corrects any mistakes, and offers brief explanations for each organ’s

Discuss the primary functions of each organ within its system, highlighting key differences
between male and female organs. Clarify any misconceptions and provide additional
insights where necessary. Direct the class’s attention to the overall structure and function
of each system, comparing them side-by-side. Discuss how each system's organs are
uniquely adapted for their roles in reproduction, such as sperm production in males and
egg production and gestation in females.

sperm's longevity and mobility, ensuring they can survive the journey to potentially
fertilize an egg.
Together, these organs work in concert to produce, maintain, and transport sperm, the
male reproductive cells, and semen, the fluid that carries them. The coordinated activities
of the testes, penis, and prostate are essential for the male's role in reproduction,
highlighting the complexity and efficiency of the male reproductive system.

Example Entries:
● Organ Name: Ovaries/Testes
o Male Organ Function: Produce sperm and reproductive hormones
o Female Organ Function: Produce eggs and reproductive hormones
o Common Functions: Hormone production and gamete (sex cell) production
3. Analysis and Discussion: Once the table is completed, engage students in a
discussion about the similarities and differences between male and female
reproductive organs and their functions.
Guiding Questions:
● Why do you think certain organs have similar functions across male and female
reproductive systems?
● How do the differences in organs and functions reflect the biological roles of each
gender in reproduction?
DAY 4
SUB-TOPIC 2: REPRODUCTION IN HUMAN (Explicitation)
TASK 1
Begin by asking the key question “How does human life begin?, facilitate students'
understanding of the stages of human development from conception to birth, using the
provided image sequence of a mother's abdomen growth below.

Visual Thinking Strategy: Display the image sequence to the entire class. Have students
individually write down their observations and initial thoughts about the changes they see
in the sequence. Write the key observations of the learners in the table below.

Guide Questions:
1. What do you notice about the size of the tummy from the first to the last picture?
2. How much does the tummy grow each time?
3. What do you think the baby is doing as the tummy grows?
4. Why is it important to see how the tummy changes?
5. When the tummy is at its biggest, what can you guess about the baby inside?

Fatima. Fatima was very special because she was about to start an incredible journey of
growth.
In the great river of life, unlike the fish who lay their eggs in the water, humans like Fatima
grow inside their mothers, safe and sound. Fatima, who was just a fertilized egg, found
the perfect spot in her mother's womb, a soft and nourishing place called the uterus.
Within just three weeks, Fatima was no longer just a dot; she became what we call an
embryo. It was the very first stage of becoming a person. She was tiny and hardly looked
like a baby at all, but all the magic had already started.
As days turned into weeks, something amazing happened. Eight weeks after she started
her journey, Fatima had transformed! She wasn't just an embryo anymore; she became a
fetus. Now, she had the tiny beginnings of arms and legs, and she was beginning to look
more like a little human, a tiny version of you and me.
Fatima grew and grew, and after about 24 weeks, she started to move. Her muscles and
bones were getting stronger every day. If you could have seen her, you would have said
she was practicing to run and hug.
Then, at around 36 weeks, Fatima was almost ready to meet the world. Her hair was curly
and soft, and her tiny fingernails were just like tiny seashells. She was preparing for her
grand entrance.
Finally, after about 37 to 40 weeks of waiting, it was time. Fatima had become Zaynab, a
beautiful newborn baby with bright eyes, ready for her first breath of air. With a little
help, she left the cozy womb and was cradled in the loving arms of her mother. Nearby,
her big brother Hussein looked on with wide, excited eyes. He had a new sister, and he
couldn't wait to teach her about the world.
And so, Fatima's journey, which started with just a little dot, had brought a new life into
the world, and her family named her Zaynab. They all lived happily, learning and
growing together each day.

Lesson Activity
TASK 3
● Guide the learners to perform the Activity 2: Interactive Notebook Activity: Growing Baby:
From Tiny Egg to Newborn.
Objective: To explain the process of human reproduction with an emphasis on the prenatal
development stages from a fertilized egg to a full-term baby.
Discussion Questions:
1. Thinking about Fatima's story, what are some big changes or important moments you
remember about how Zaynab grew before she was born?
2. Which part of Zaynab's growing up inside her mom did you find really interesting or cool?
Tell us why!
3. Imagine if you were Zaynab, cozy and snug in the womb, what do you think it would feel
like?
Color and Decorate: Once you've completed your writing, color in the pictures and decorate your
flip-open sheets. Think about the colors and patterns that represent the miraculous growth journey
of a baby.
