Conception and making babies: what happens when egg and sperm meet?
This is the fourth lesson in our Year 6 unit on puberty, genes, and the human lifecycle.
In this lesson, we will recap our Year 5 science lessons, where we learned about reproduction in mammals, before delving deeper as we apply this knowledge to humans and how reproduction plays a key role in the human life cycle.
We will look at the role of the male and female sex cells (gametes) and how their union leads to a genetically unique offspring that inherits traits from each parent.
Please note that this lesson predominantly focuses on the scientific aspects of reproduction, with a particular focus on fertilisation and conception.
While sexual intercourse is briefly mentioned, it is not taught in detail. This topic will, however, be revisited when we learn about loving and intimate relationships later on in the school year.
