Teacher: Students:
• Good morning, Ma’am!
• Good morning, Class! • *Stand Up & Pray
• Please Stand Up and Let’s Pray
• * Follow the teacher’s instructions.
• Please pick up the pieces of paper then arrange
your chairs properly
• Sit Properly and

• Let’s check the attendance.
ELICIT
• Before we start our lesson, we will have a short • Yesterday we’ve discussed about the
recall of what we’ve discussed yesterday. Anyone reproductive system, its parts and
from the class? functions
*Very Good!
• Can someone give me a part of the reproductive

system and tell me its functions?
• *Very Good!
• Another answer?
• *Very Good*
ENGAGE
• Today, we will play again the guessing game *Students actively perform and participate in
wherein you will guess the word what the picture the activity.

• *Very Good!
• So, what do you think is the topic that we will • Menstrual Cycle
discuss today?
• Yes, very good!
• But before that, I have question for girls, what do • Menarche

you think does your first menstrual cycle or your
first menstrual bleeding is called?
• Very Good!
EXPLORE
The teacher will ask questions and will give an activity. *Students actively perform and participate in
the activity.
• How many days do we usually have in a month? • 30, 31 days
• How many days do we have in a menstrual
cycle?
These are the question that we are going to
answer later.
• Now what do you think is menstruation? • Menstruation is the monthly period of a
girl.
• Yes, Very Good!
• The periodic or regular shedding of tissues and

blood from the inner lining of the uterus is called
the menstruation or period. It could be described
as the discharge of blood from the uterine wall.
• The diagram shows the days of the

months when menstrual cycle occurs.
• What do you think the diagram shows? • 3-5-7 days
• For girls, usually how many days does
menstruation last?
• Yes, it lasts 3 days or more.
• Now, why do you think the diagram shows 28

days, when menstruation usually takes 3-7 days?
We will answer that question later
• Now, I will give you a puzzle that shows the 4

phases of the menstrual cycle.
1. Group 1 – 1st phase
2. Group 2 – 2nd phase

3. Group 3 – the 3rd phase
4. Group 4 – the 4th phase
• You are going to rearrange the picture then you

are going to tell your classmate what you’ve
observe within each phase. You will only do the
activity for 5-7 min, finish or not finish you will
show your answer to your classmates
EXPLAIN
•The teacher will explain the process of menstruation
• Menstruation is a sign that a girl is capable of

producing offspring.
• The menstrual cycle is a series of changes during
which an egg matures, and the uterus is prepared
for possible pregnancy.
• Now, what system do you think influences the • The menstrual cycle is influenced by
menstrual cycle? the endocrine system
• How, do you think endocrine system influences • Through the complex interaction of the
the menstrual cycle? hypothalamus, pituitary and gonads
(reproductive or sex organs,
specifically the ovaries and testes).
• The length of the menstrual cycle varies from
woman to woman but the average cycle is 28
days.
• There are 4 phases of menstrual cycle
1. Menses Phase: This phase begins on the first

day of menstruation and typically lasts until the
5th day of the cycle. During the menstrual phase,
the uterus sheds soft tissue and blood vessels
from its inner lining.
• Menses phase is when the menstruation occurs
2. Follicular Phase: The follicular stage also begins

on the first day of menstruation but doesn’t end
until around day 13, or when ovulation starts.
During the follicular phase, the pituitary gland
releases a hormone that stimulates egg cells to
grow in the ovaries. In this phase, the uterus
lining begins to thicken.
3. Ovulation Phase: Around the 14th day of the

cycle, ovulation occurs. The pituitary gland
secretes the luteinizing hormone (LH) that causes
the release of the matured egg cell from the
ovary. The egg cell then travels to the fallopian
tube
4. Luteal Phase: The luteal phase begins around

day 15 and lasts until the end of the cycle. During
this phase, the egg cell stays in the fallopian tube
for 24 hours. If a sperm cell fails to impregnate
the egg during this time, the egg cell
disintegrates. When the hormone used to retain
the endometrium runs out, a new menstrual cycle
begins.
• So, what are the 4 phases of menstrual cycle? 1. Menses Phase

2. Follicular Phase
3. Ovulation Phase
4. Luteal Phase
• What phase does menstruation occurs? • Menses Phase
• In what phase does the uterus lining begins to • Follicular Phase
thicken?
• In what phase does ovulation occurs? • Ovulation Phase
• In what phase does the egg moves into the • Luteal phase
uterus? And if not impregnated, the egg cell
disintegrates?
ELABORATE
• As stated a while ago, the menstrual cycle is
influenced by the endocrine system, it is affected
by different hormones.
• If we are going to recall, what hormone is • Estrogen and progesterone

secreted by the ovary?
• Very good!
• Now, this are the hormones released by the
different endocrine glands that affects the
menstrual cycle.
• What hormone stimulates follicular growth in the • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH),
ovary? And what endocrine gland secrete this secreted by the pituitary gland
hormone?
• Give one function of estrogen and progesterone. • Thickens the endometrium
EVALUATE
• The evaluate part will be the result of the given
activity per group
EXTEND
• What is feedback mechanism?
That’s all for today. I hope you learned something from

our discussion *Follow teacher’s
Let’s stand up and pray. Kindly pick up the dirt you see Instruction
and arrange your chair.
Good Bye Class!
Have a nice day! Good Bye Ma’am!
See you tomorrow!
Don’t forget your assignment
