Add-On Lessons
Want to extend the learning? Need to meet state standards? These easy-to-use, Add-On Lessons provide everything you need to teach, including scripted lesson plans with engaging student activities; full-color, animated slides; student worksheets; and answer keys. These lessons are intended to be used as supplements to Puberty: The Wonder Years, not as stand-alone lessons. They extend the learning in the core lessons by teaching about the following topics:
- Lesson A: Building Blocks of Life
- Lesson B: Dominant or Recessive
- Lesson C: Fetal Development
- Lesson D: New Life
- Lesson E: Understanding Ourselves and Others: Gender and Sexual Orientation
- Lesson F: Safe and Nurturing Touches Only
- Lesson G: Preventing Pregnancy and STIs
- Lesson H: HIV and STIs
These are add-on lessons for one or more of the following reasons:
- The topics aren’t part of the National Sex Ed Standards, but some schools might like to teach them if they have time or want to integrate with science.
- The topics might be taught by some schools and not others at these grades.
- To allow flexibility in teaching the topic at any grade level to meet the needs of the school’s program.
