Giving Birth and review

I hope you enjoyed this unit. Don't forget the stages of life:

Also, don't forget to review the female and the male reproductive systems. Remember that:

Uterus: It is also called the womb and if an ovum or egg is fertilised it will implant in the wall and develop into an embryo and then a foetus. 

After puberty, an egg or ovum is released from the ovaries (normally from one of the ovaries) once every 28 days. In the ovaries, the ovum is produced. The ovum is the female reproductive cell. 

The male reproductive cell is called the sperm and it is produced in the testicles. 

A zygote is the union of the sperm cell and the egg cell. Also known as a fertilized ovum, the zygote begins as a single cell but divides rapidly in the days following fertilization. After this two-week period of cell division, the zygote eventually becomes an embryo.

Fertilization: The process of combining the male gamete, or sperm, with the female gamete, or ovum. The product of fertilization is a cell called a zygote.

The placenta is a tissue that grows in the wall of the uterus where the embryo has been implanted. The placenta is an organ that develops in your uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby and removes waste products from your baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of your uterus, and your baby's umbilical cord arises from it.

Notice that at the end of the first trimestre, the baby’s brain begins to develop, the heart beats and small buds, that will become the arms and legs, appear. At the end of the first trimester the embryo is called a foetus. It’s now that the organs are formed and begin to function with the exception of the lungs which only begin to function when the baby is born and reaches the outside world. 

Pregnancy

Pregnancy lasts for about nine months and ends at the moment of birth. During this time many changes occcur, both in the embryo and in the mother’s body.  

In one horizontal page make a mindmap. 

English

Good morning everybody! Today we will correct the rest of the worksheet, which is exercise number three and the grammar part. 

Later, you have to give us a short speech of one minute about a subject that you have chosen as I told you yesterday. It doesn't have to be complicated but try to talk instead of reading. That doesn't mean that you may have a script with some key words or ideas that help you in your public speaking. 

Public speaking is a skill that is very important and you are going to need it a lot.

We will have our online class at 11:00 with 6B and at 12:00 with 6A. The class will last 40 minutes. Be punctual please. Be ready to enter 5 minutes before the hour. 

Later I'll post some more information about Natural so you can review. 

Have a nice day. 

English

Good morning!

First of all, go to your notebook and review the verb tenses mindmap that we did last term. Then, answer the questions in this test.

For question number two, you can use the following prefix or suffix:

-ful -in -ment -un -ion -im -dis -ation

Depending on the word, they can go before or after the word in each case. 

We will have a class to correct this at 11:00 with 6B and at 12:00 with 6A. The class will last 40 minutes. Be punctual please. Be ready to enter 5 minutes before the hour. 

Review the timeline of Contemporary ages and read again this post. 

In the class, first we will review the Contemporary Ages, then we will correct the English exercises. 

See you then!!!

Fertilisation

Fertilisation is the process where an ovum and a sperm meet in one of the fallopian tubes. It has 5 steps:

1. Every 28 days an egg is released from one of the ovaries and is pushed along a fallopian tube towards the uterus. 

2. Sperm enters the female reproductive system through the vagina and reaches the fallopian tube.

3. A sperm reaches the egg, gets inside it and fertilises it. At this moment a zygote is formed.

4. The zygote starts to divide and forms an embryo.

5. The embryo implants itself in the uterus, attaching itself to the wall, where there it continues to grow and develop. 

Now watch this incredible video. It's amazing!!!
