* The students will identify the similarities and differences in boys and girls during puberty.

Biblical Integration:
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Won
derful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139: 13-18

Activity:
* Introduce the students to the the definition of puberty through Haiku Deck presentation Day 1.
* Students will watch the appropriate video determined by the administrator. (Changes Girls and Puberty, Changes Boys and Puberty , or Changes Boys, Girls and Puberty)

Personal Hygiene

  • "Personal hygiene may be described as the principle of maintaining cleanliness and grooming of the external body" (Johnson, 2016).
Day 2

PERSONAL HYGIENE

Lesson Objectives:
*The students will define and understand personal hygiene.
*The students will distinguish between proper and poor personal hygiene.
*The students will recognize ways to combat poor hygiene.

Biblical Integration:
*Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 John: 1-2

Activity:
*Review main points from Day 1.
*Introduce students to the definition of personal hygiene through Haiku Deck presentation Day 2.

*Choose student groups
*Each group will choose a topic from the board and create a quick presentation, concerning that topic.

Materials:
*Netbooks
*Presentation Rubric

PERSONAL HYGIENE CONT.

  • "Social aspects can be affected, as many people would rather alienate themselves from someone who has bad personal hygiene than to tell them how they could improve" (Johnson, 2016).

Poor personal hygiene

  • "Body odor is a perceived unpleasant smell our bodies can give off when bacteria that live on the skin break down sweat into acids" (Nordqvist, 2016).
  • Halitosis is bad breath caused by poor oral health.

Poor personal hygiene

  • Oily hair: "Your scalp is constantly producing sebum – it helps to keep your hair and scalp healthy, hydrated and moisturized. Sebum is quite sticky – it causes hair fibers to stick to each other and clump, instead of moving freely as individual fibers" (What Causes Greasy or Oily Hair? 2016).

POOR PERSONAL HYGIENE CONT.

  • Foot odor: Bacteria are to blame. These tiny critters normally inhabit your feet and love dark, damp places like the insides of sweaty shoes. In the right conditions, bacteria will feast on your feet. These bacteria eat dead skin cells and oils from your skin. Their colonies will grow and start getting rid of waste in the form of organic acids. It's those organic acids that smell bad. (Kids Heatlh, 2016)

Poor personal hygiene myth

  • Acne is not caused by either oily skin or poor hygiene, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. ... Acne tends to develop when an oily substance called sebum produced by sebaceous (oil-making) glands mixes with dead skin cells and other debris to plug pores and cause bacteria to thrive.
  • (Oz, 2016)

Combating Poor Hygiene

  • Shower daily and wash hair at least every other day.
  • Use an antiperspirant with deodorant and wear clean clothes.
  • Brush teeth twice a day and floss.
  • Cleanse your face twice a day and see the dermatologist for combatting acne.
  • Wash your feet, wear clean socks and use foot powder if needed.

Genesis 1:28

  • 27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Male

reproductive system

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • The special sac that house the two testicles is called the scrotum.
  • The scrotum is the sac of loose skin divided into two parts. Each part contains a testicle, epididymis (the small kidney shaped gland at the top of the scrotum), and the end of the vas deferens.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • Each testicle contains tiny tubes that are continuously creating sperm throughout a man's life.
  • The vas deferens allows the sperm to move up to the seminal vesicle.
  • The large egg-shaped organ is the bladder and stores urine until it can be expelled from the body.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • As the vas deferens curves around the top of the bladder and back down again, it passes the seminal vesicle.
  • The seminal vesicle is oblong shaped, and is located behind the bladder. The seminal vesicle produces fluids that activate sperm.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • The prostate gland is just below the bladder. It supplies most of the liquid that combines with the sperm prior to ejaculation.
  • When a man is aroused to the point of orgasm, the fluid from the prostrate combines with the sperm to make semen.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • Strong muscle contractions in and around the prostate gland contract rapidly to force the semen out of the urethra.
  • Just under the prostate gland rests a very small round gland called the Cowper's gland, which secretes a fluid that removes acidity from the urethra just before ejaculation. This ensures that the sperm have the best chance of living.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • The tube leading from the various glands down the length of the penis is called the urethra.
  • The urethra is the special passageway that allows urine to be voided from the bladder, and allows semen to travel out of the body during sexual intercourse.
  • The organ in which the urethra is housed is called the penis.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • The penis has spongy tissues containing small blood vessels and nerves. During sexual arousal, the spongy tissue fills with blood, and the penis hardens. This is called an erection.
  • An erection is a necessary part of human reproduction. It allows the man to insert his penis into the woman's vagina, which enables semen to reach the egg inside the woman's reproductive system.

How does the male reproductive system work?

  • At the very tip of the penis is the glans, which is the head of the penis. This part of the male reproductive system may or may not be covered with foreskin.
  • If the male is circumcised, the foreskin will not cover the glans.
  • (Sexual Development, 2014)

Female

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The outer fold of flesh that covers a female's vagina is called the labia majora. The outer fold is larger than the inner fold and has hair growing on it.
  • The inner fold, called labia minor is made up of mucous membranes. Both of these folds help protect the vagina and urethra.
  • The urethra is a small tube that carries urine outside the body from the bladder.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The opening for the urethra is just below the clitoris and above the vagina.
  • The vaginal opening leads to the vagina. The vagina is the passage leading from the uterus to the outside of the body.
  • The clitoris is a small, sensitive bump located where the folds meet at the top front part of a female's pubic area.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • Between the buttocks is an opening called the anus. This is where feces come out of the body.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The opening leading up into the internal reproductive system is called the vagina. The vagina is a soft, muscular elastic tube. Its inner lining is soft and moist.
  • During sexual arousal, the walls of the vagina secrete a lubricant to assist in intercourse.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The vagina also functions as a birth canal for a baby, and allows menstrual flow to exit the body from the uterus.
  • The uterus is a pear shaped organ about the size of a woman's fist that stretches to house the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid during pregnancy. It is very strong, muscular and stretchable.

  • The uterus is a pear shaped organ about the size of a woman's fist that stretches to house the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid during pregnancy. It is very strong, muscular and stretchable.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • At the top of the vagina is the cervix which is the bottom of the uterus. This is slightly open in women who are not pregnant, but is plugged during pregnancy to avoid infection. When a baby is ready to be born the cervix opens up to 1o cm.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The thick tissue inside the entire uterus is the uterine lining. If fertilization does not occur, this lining is shed every month. The is called menstruation, the process by which the uterus rids itself of its old lining, and prepares for the possibility of conception the following month. About 14 days after ovulation, the body begins to shed the uterine lining, which is made up of blood and fluid. This is called a "period".

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The fallopian tube carries the egg from the ovary down to the uterus. This journey takes about three days. Usually, conception (joining of the sperm and egg) occurs in the fallopian tube.
  • The finger-like structures at the end of the fallopian tube are called fimbria.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • The finger-like structures at the end of the fallopian tube are called fimbria.
  • The internal, very tiny hair-like structures inside the fallopian tube are called cilia. The cilia help the egg move down the fallopian tube to the ovary.
  • Two egg-shaped organs on either side of the uterus are the ovaries. These are female counterparts to the male testicles.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • An ovary is about the size of an almond. When a woman is born, the ovaries already contain all the ova (eggs) she will ever produce. There are 400,000 ova. The ovary releases one ovum (a single egg) each month. This process is called ovulation.
  • When the ovary releases the egg it travels down the fallopian tube, with help from the cilia.

How does the female reproductive system work?

  • If a sperm does not fertilize the egg, it will not adhere to the uterus wall. As a result, menstruation will occur.

You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Choosing God's way

  • What is virginity? "the state of never having had sexual intercourse." (Google, 2016)
