The document describes puberty as the stage of development when the body transitions from childhood to adulthood due to increased hormone production, particularly testosterone in males. Key physical changes include growth of reproductive organs, body hair, voice deepening, and mood swings. It also emphasizes the importance of personal hygiene and understanding consent regarding good and bad touches.

PUBERTY

2. • Puberty is a period from which our body changes from
a child to an adult.
• This happens because our body wants to prepare itself
to be able to have a baby.

3. WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
• Puberty starts when extra amounts of chemicals called hormones
start to be produced in the body.
• The body produces the sex hormones estrogen, progestogen and
testosterone which are responsible for many different changes in
the body.
• The brain and pituitary gland release the sex hormones that
regulate the reproductive organs.

4. • The reason boys have a reproductive system is because it
provides the sperm needed to fertilize a female’s egg, which can
then develop into a baby.
• During puberty the levels of the hormone testosterone in your
body begin to rise. This causes the penis and testicles to get
bigger and the testicles to produce sperm.
• The testicles cannot make sperm before puberty.
• Sperm look like tadpoles, with what appear to be a head and a
tail.

5. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

start the changes of puberty.
