Always Changing and Growing Up | Co-Ed Puberty Education Video
*Watch the video and answer the questions below.*
---
1. Puberty is a series of _changes_ that your body and all of your friends’ bodies will go through as you _grow up_ or _become teenagers_.
> *Explanation:* Puberty is the biological process during which children’s bodies mature into adult bodies capable of reproduction. It involves many physical, hormonal, and emotional changes.
---
2. Decide if the following statement is true or false. Circle your answer. If it is false, write in the correct answer.
*For females, the pituitary gland sends a signal to your ovaries to start producing the hormone called estrogen.*
✔ True
> *Explanation:* The pituitary gland (in the brain) releases hormones like FSH and LH that signal the ovaries to produce estrogen — the primary female sex hormone responsible for breast development, menstruation, etc.
---
3. Decide if the following statement is true or false. Circle your answer. If it is false, write in the correct answer.
*For males, the pituitary gland sends a signal to your testicles to start producing the hormone called estrogen.*
✘ False
→ Correct answer: testosterone
> *Explanation:* In males, the pituitary gland signals the testicles to produce testosterone — the primary male sex hormone responsible for deepening voice, muscle growth, facial hair, etc. Estrogen is present in small amounts but not the main hormone produced by testicles.
---
4. List two things that happen to a female’s body during puberty.
1. Breasts begin to develop.
2. Menstruation (periods) begins.
> *Other acceptable answers:* Growth spurt, pubic/armpit hair growth, hips widen, skin/oily hair changes.
---
5. List two things that happen to a male’s body during puberty.
1. Voice deepens.
2. Facial and pubic hair begins to grow.
> *Other acceptable answers:* Growth spurt, muscles develop, testicles/scrotum enlarge, sperm production begins, acne may appear.
---
6. We are born with eccrine glands that make us sweat. During puberty, we develop _apocrine_ glands, which develops during puberty and mixes with bacteria on your body, creating _body odor_, or B.O.
> *Explanation:* Eccrine glands are present at birth and produce clear, odorless sweat. Apocrine glands become active during puberty — they secrete a thicker fluid that, when broken down by bacteria on the skin, causes body odor.
---
7. Decide if the following statement is true or false. Circle your answer. If it is false, write in the correct answer.
*Sebum can cause your skin to have pimples and your hair to be greasy.*
✔ True
> *Explanation:* Sebum is an oily substance produced by sebaceous glands. During puberty, increased hormone levels cause more sebum production, which can clog pores (leading to acne/pimples) and make hair look greasy.
---
8. At what age do most males start to grow facial hair?
Around ages 10 to 15 (or between 10 and 15 years old)
> *Note:* This varies by individual. Some boys start as early as 9 or 10; others not until 15 or later. Facial hair usually begins as fine “peach fuzz” above the upper lip, then spreads to cheeks and chin.
