The last time I asked for help with year 7 homework, I got shouted at, but Gordon Bennett....

...."The Sperm's Journey"?????!!!! "You may make a strip cartoon or write a story"

Oh, they're not allowed to submit a home movie then?

Oh dear. Well at least you could have fun with that one!

ha! sounds brilliant. I've been amazed by what they do at school these days. Am so pleased they do all of this.

do a cartton strip. Or a strip cartoon

Stanley Sperm woke up one morning, feeling an unusual sense of excitement....

I have resisted the temptation to tell her to start "Frank Sperm woke up one morning feeling that this was his lucky day...."!

I think it is a great idea........

I have done a similar thing for digestion before now

Can it be a photo story ?

We're a pretty liberal family - but I draw the line a practical demonstrations. Especially on camera......!

Get them to watch the beginning of look whos talking, and then make a storyboard from it.

LOL

LOL again
Last one, promise

This is a pretty standard homework, actually. I know my husband, who is a science teacher has set it before as we have had a good giggle over some of the responses (in a nice way, of course). They can be awfully creative and tongue-in-cheek, can year 7!

I haven't done this particular journey. The journey of the cheeseburger is fairly common, but I think the sperm one would all be over in, what, 30 seconds?

"after a promising start, my adventures were unfortunately curtailed by a strange rubber barrier I could not defeat..."

some sperms may be called sally sperm and they could hang around waiting for the eggs - what would they do whilst waiting?

Sharpen their heads?
do push ups?

mindless random thoughts..........

at the spunk bar - what a venue !!

She needs to get on the trying to conceive a girl/boy threads - one or the other type of sperm is bigger but slower moving than the other and the other one survives longer before ovulation due to acidic (or not acidic - can't remember which) of the uterus - could get very technical

Trouble is, she's taking it very seriously - it's dp and I who are having to supress childish giggles! Especially after reading this thread!
