Growing Up Body Basics

Students will identify key puberty changes in boys and girls, recognize private vs public body parts, and practice personal boundary skills. By lesson end, each student will match three physical changes to body systems and state at least one safe boundary rule.

Understanding puberty equips students with knowledge about normal body development and fosters respect for personal boundaries. For 5th graders with cognitive delays, clear visuals and repetition build confidence and reduce anxiety about these changes.
