7th Grade: PARENT INFORMATION REGARDING UPCOMING CANDOR HEALTH STUDENT PRESENTATIONS (Formerly Robert Crown Presentations)
The 6th Grade Human Reproduction and Embryology unit will be presented to our current 7th grade class because it was missed last year due to the pandemic.
Human Reproduction & Embryology – Thursday, May 19 2022
Previously known as Life Begins, this program teaches reproductive science. This program starts with a brief review of puberty content then focuses on the homologous nature of the female and male anatomy. We provide students the scientific explanation of fertilization and what is needed to create new life. A basic overview of genetics and cell division, prenatal development, and the opportunity for students to address commonly asked questions regarding multiples, miscarriage and delivery are given. Additionally, we explore how the social emotional skills of negotiation and teamwork can be helpful in navigating the ups and downs of puberty and the increased independence and responsibility that comes with adolescence.
Program Goals:
- To explain the functions of the reproductive organs
- To describe the process of fertilization
- To recognize stages of growth during prenatal development (embryology)
- To identify SEL tools to manage life challenges
Human Reproduction & Embryology: Parent Overview
Parents have access to a pre-recorded presentation by a Candor Health educator previewing this presentation.
