The journey of the sperm to the egg
The path of the spermatozoa to reach the egg is not a simple one. This path is divided into a phase in the male reproductive system and another in the female reproductive system.
In the case of the male, the sperm travel from the testicle to the urethra. When vaginal penetration occurs, the sperm continue their journey to the fallopian tubes. This is where the egg is found and the fastest and most capable sperm will fertilize it.

Thanks for spending the time putting these resources together. My class really liked the starter task and the rest was a nice unfussy way to present some potentially embarrassing material. The pregnancy lesson also looks like it could be useful so this has tempted me to buy the bundle :-)
OnSpecScience
Yes, "unfussy" is definitely the way to go with this topic. As I tell the kids, it's just science. I may be biased but the pregnancy lesson usually works well for me so please do try it!

Out of the approximately 5,000 sperm that enter the utero-tubal junction, about 1,000 get inside the Fallopian tube. Finally, out of the 1,000 that enter the tube, it is estimated that only 200 make it to the egg. However, in the end, only 1 sperm out of the 200 that reach the egg is able to penetrate and fertilize it.

Sperm are haploid; they contain one set of 23 chromosomes. They are created by the cellular division process known as meiosis, which creates 4 sperm from a single germ cell. They're also very small, only about 50μm long. Sperm are ejaculated in semen, a basic fluid with a pH of about 7.4. The sperm's target is the egg.

Lastly, students are shown a video of the journey a sperm cell has to make to reach an egg cell.

Egg, sperm, and fertilization. Sperm and egg cells are special sex cells for reproduction. Sperm cells are small, have a tail for movement, and carry male genetic material. The egg is large, round, and has a protective layer called the zona pellucida. During fertilization, sperm meets egg, and their genetic material combines.

The journey of sperm begins inside the testicles. Males begin to produce sperm at the start of puberty at around 12 or 13 years old. It is a process that requires a slightly cooler temperature, which is why testicles hang outside men's bodies. Nor is it a quick process: the production of sperm takes about 70 days.

Every month an ovum (egg cell) is released from an ovary into the oviduct. This is called OVULATION. If there are sperm cells in the oviduct the ovun may join with one of them. This is called FERTILISATION. The fertilised ovum then travels down to the uterus where it grows Into a baby. The diagram below shows what happens to the ovun after it is
