How does reproduction work? How is genetic information passed on? How are sexually transmitted infections spread? How can we reduce the risks and prevent pregnancy?
Through our 5 or 6 interactive stations, students explore different aspects of human sexuality, reproduction and sexual health: reproduction and fertilization, DNA and genetics, sexually transmitted infections, risky situations, prevention and contraception, and the anatomy and changes of puberty.
With models, games, hands-on activities and scenarios, students observe, reflect, make connections and build their knowledge of their body and their health.
A science-based, interactive workshop that approaches human sexuality through biology, anatomy, genetics and prevention, in an educational setting suited to schools.
Learning goals (elementary)
- Identify the main structures and functions of the reproductive systems.
- Understand the main stages of reproduction and fertilization.
- Discover the basics of DNA, chromosomes and heredity.
- Recognize some sexually transmitted infections and understand the main ways to prevent them.
- Tell situations that carry a risk of STI transmission from those that don’t.
- Identify the main physical changes of puberty.
Learning goals (secondary)
- Describe the main stages of human reproduction, from the formation of gametes to fertilization.
- Explain the role of chromosomes, DNA and genetic information in passing on traits.
- Tell apart the agents that cause STIs, including viruses, bacteria and parasites.
- Understand the main ways STIs are transmitted and prevented.
- Understand how to use a condom properly and the role of different contraceptive methods.
- Identify the main structures of the genitals and explain some physiological changes of puberty.
