A SEMI DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE

Fertilization

Duration: 1 hour

I. Objectives:

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

a. describe the process of fertilization

b. trace visually the path of the egg cell and the sperm cell in the female
reproductive system during the process of fertilization with the aid of
illustration
c. identify the protective structures of the egg cell and the accessory structures
of the sperm cell that are essential during fertilization
d. relate the fertilization process with their existence

II. A. Materials:

 laptop
 projector
 printed materials

A. ACTIVITY
Goodmorning class.

have answers in mind, this video clip you are
about to watch will help you come up with an
accurate idea on why you are existing today.

Well that is a sweet love story of a sperm cell and

an egg cell. Every individual here in the class, had
that sweet love story before birth. That is the
beginning of life and that is the reason why you
are existing today. But class please take note, that
act is done exclusively for married couples. If you
are not married yet then you are not allowed to do
the same. Going back to the topic, what do you call
now that love story of your fathers sperm cell and
your mothers egg cell?

That’s correct class. So from the video clip shown,

who can give me now a brief definition of
fertilization?

Very good. The term fertilization refers to the

process when the sperm cell unites with the egg
cell to produce a zygote. Last meeting we talked
about the different parts of the female
reproductive system.

B. ANALYSIS
 The students are being group for their
Another video clip will be shown later on class.
But before that, let’s divide the class into four
groups. Count off. Form a circle with your group
mates.
For group I, while watching the video, you need to
trace the path of the sperm cell from the point of
entry into the female reproductive system until
the meeting with the egg cell.
Collaborative learning. In this situation,
student work as a team. In this way they
will enhance their critical thinking. They
will be engage in a common task where
they can create , share, evaluate one’s
ideas regarding the topic based on the
video. Each member can actively interact
by sharing ideas to gain understanding
about the topic and generate their own
knowledge.
For group II, while watching the video, you need
to trace the path of the egg cell. Identify where
does it come from and where does it travel before
fertilization takes place.

For group III, identify the protective structures or

the protective parts of the egg cell essential during
fertilization.

For group IV, identify the accessory structures of

the sperm cell essential for fertilization.

I will be giving each group a printed material and

that would be your guide in your group activity.
You may write on it. Any clarification class before
we start the video?

Are we going to repeat the video?

I will give you five minutes to discuss with your

group mates. Then choose one of each group to
present in front. The printed material you are
holding right now will be projected on the board
and that would be the basis of your discussion.

Time is up class, go back to your proper place and

arrange your chairs properly.

acidic environment. So how many sperm cells can
survive? According to research, millions of sperm
cells die on this part and 200 sperm cells can
really make it up to the fallopian tube. But how
long would be the travel of the sperm from the
point of entry to the egg cell. It will only take 1-2
hours to complete the journey for fertilization.
Next lets have the group II.

Let’s give the second group 5 claps. Since a woman

have two ovaries, they will release mature egg cell
alternately each month. There are cases wherein
an ovary releases 2 egg cells in a month, therefore
two sperm cells will fertilize them. So this is a case
resulting to fraternal twin. Another question is
that, how long would be the egg cell stays in the
fallopian tube waiting for fertilization? It takes
only 12-24hours then it disintegrates. How about
the lifespan of the sperm? It’s 12-48 hours. So the
sperm is capable to fertilize within 2 days inside
the fallopian tube. So the site of fertilization in the
female reproductive system is the fallopian tube.
Next lets have the group III

Very good group III, those are the two coverings of

the egg cell. They both serves as the protective
barrier of the egg cell.
Let’s have the last group.

Lets give the last group 5 claps. So the flagella aids

for the mobility of the sperm towards the egg cell
and the acrosome that contains enzyme makes it
possible for its entry into the egg cell thus
fertilization will takes place. The nucleus of the
egg cell and the sperm cell fuse making into single
diploid nucleus or what we call the zygote. The
zygote then travels to the uterus for implantation
and development.

Elaboration/ Extension/Generalization
Imagine those processes you underwent before
coming into life. You are one in a million. You are
very lucky that you are being fertilized. So make
the most of your life. Prove to yourself that you
really deserve to survive.
