Video Learning Notes

During puberty and adolescence, males and females experience physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that prepare their bodies for adulthood. Males typically develop facial hair, deeper voices, and increased muscle mass due to testosterone, while females develop breasts and begin menstruation due to estrogen. Both genders experience growth spurts and emotional changes influenced by hormones. Fertilization occurs when sperm from a man meets an egg from a woman during sexual intercourse, initiating pregnancy. Understanding these changes helps students navigate adolescence with knowledge and respect for themselves and others.
