People grow and experience
changes in their body over time. You
were just small when you were born.
You grew a little bigger when you
were in kindergarten. Now that you
are already in fifth grade, you have
grown taller and bigger. You have

is a stage characterized by
rapid developmental changes. Changes
start to happen to young boys whose
age ranges from 12 t 14 years old. Girls,
on the other hand, start to experience
puberty earlier. They begin to observe
changes when they are 10 to 12 years
old.

These changes are
caused by sex hormones
from their ovaries and
testes. Puberty occurs
during adolescence. Girls

Discussion
Time!
Many of the changes that
occur in your body during
puberty are due to certain
hormones that are released
by your Pituitary gland. One
of these hormones is the

Time!
The growth hormone influences
an adolescent’s body to
suddenly grow very rapidly
within one or two years. This
period of rapid growth called
growth spurt often causes an
adolescent to feel tired and

may begin earlier than your
classmates. Some many begin
later than the rest of the class.
Periods of growth also differs
among individuals. Some may

Look at some of your
classmates on the first day of
classes right after summer

Physical changes are also
caused by sex hormones.
These changes are called
secondary sex characteristics.

characteristics do you have

Discussion
Time!
Just like the growth spurt,
physical body changes also
differ from one person to
another. A person’s body hair
may grow abundantly. Others
may have less body hair. Some
girls develop larger breast or
broader hips. Breast of some

These changes are influenced
by the traits each person
receives from his/her parents.
Adulthood begins at about age
20 At this age, all body
systems have become fully
mature and full height has been
reached.
What
can
 During puberty changes do not
only happen in your physical
appearance. There may also be
changes in your mental, emotional,
and social aspects.
 Research on these non- physical
changes during puberty. Interview
your older friends or relative if they
have been experiencing such
changes. You may share your
experience too.

HAVE
LEARNE
Remember the
following
words!
 Puberty is a stage
characterized by rapid
developmental changes.
Changes start to happen to
young boys whose age ranges
from 12 t 14 years old. Girls, on
the other hand, start to
experience puberty earlier
 They begin to observe changes
when they are 10 to 12 years old.
These changes are caused by sex
hormones from their ovaries and
testes. Puberty occurs during
adolescence. Girls start to grow
into women and boys into men.
 PUBERTY is the period
when the reproductive
organs begin to mature.
Menstruation in girls and
sperm production in boys
starts during this period.
