How plants and animals reproduce | Biology – Life Lessons

How do plants and animals reproduce? Animals and plants reproduce in many different ways. This clip explores how and why, with the examples of the giant Amazonian water lilly, elephants and seahorses.

The giant Amazonian water lilly is the first example of reproduction, featuring the fascinating way it traps insects. We see the reproductive parts of a flower, both male and female, accompanied by a brief description of the function of each. Moving on to the animal kingdom, an elephant is used as an example of internal fertilisation, followed by some more unusual examples, such as the seahorse. This clip is from the BBC series Life Lessons. This series looks at seven important lessons from the natural world for Key Stage 2 and Second Level (Scotland) students.

Key Stage 2: The graphical representations of the parts of a flower could be teamed up with a lesson on dissecting a lily. Lilies are easy to dissect using scissors or a scalpel if appropriate and the reproductive organs are very clear to see. For students of higher ability the differences between external and internal fertilisation could be introduced. This is usually discussed at KS3 but could be suitable for younger students who are capable of understanding. Key Stage 3: This clip is suitable for use as a key stage three introduction to internal reproduction and plant reproduction. This clip will be relevant for teaching Key Stage 2/3 or Second/Third Level (Scotland) primary science. ===================== For more clips from other subjects at the BBC Teach YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/bbcteach More from BBC Learning Zone: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone More resources from BBC Bitesize: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education ===================== Subscribe to create your own customised playlists, and get notified about our latest clips.
