''DIRECTIONS: Below are two stories. The events are all out of order. Get a sheet of lined paper. Write "Reproductive System Worksheet #6" at the top. Then choose ONE of the two stories (A or B) and rewrite it. Begin with the title and your name. Find a topic sentence to begin your paragraph. Put the sentences in chronological order. Make sure the last sentence is a good concluding statement.''

A) The Menstrual Cycle

It travels through the fallopian tube.

The ovary releases the ovum.

About two weeks later, since the lining of the uterus is not needed for a pregnancy, it comes out through the vagina.

It is incredible how the female body knows how to prepare for pregnancy!

If the egg doesn't meet a sperm, it dissolves.

While the ovum is developing, the lining of the uterus is getting thick and soft.

Another ovum starts to develop in one of the ovaries and the process begins again.

An ovum starts to develop.

B) I am produced in the testicles

I go from the vas deferens to the urethra.

The Life of a Sperm Cell

I go through the cervix and the uterus and into the fallopian tubes, in search of an egg cell.

I develop for two or three months in the epididymis.

When the penis becomes erect, I leave the epididymis and travel up into the body through the vas deferens.

As I pass the prostate gland, the seminal vesicles, and the Cowper's glands, fluids are added so that I can live longer and swim more easily.

Without me, an egg couldn't begin the amazing process of reproduction.

The urethra carries me (along with about 200 million other sperm) our of the penis in a process called ejaculation.

If I can find the ovum before the other sperm do, I will be the winner: part of a fertilized egg!
