Reproductive System

My favorite unit to teach!!! It's amazing how attentive these students have finally become! We are finishing up the male reproductive structures and our pig testicle dissection. After we study the female structures we will look at the development of the fertilized egg into an embryo and fetus. Finally we will end with studying the stages of birth and watch a live birth and Cesarean section. My hope is that the students will come away from this unit with an appreciation of the complexity of their own bodies and the miraculous process of human develpment.
