Plant Reproduction - Self Assessment

The purpose of this lesson is to describe the life process of reproduction in plants. students will be expected to state that plants can reproduce either sexually or asexually, and describe some methods for asexual reproduction in plants. This lesson will build on previous learning from earlier grades, including the structure of plants, their life cycle, and the role of flowers in the pollination process. This lesson aligns with the National Curriculum and the Yr. 6 Evolution and Inheritance and Living Things and their Habitats units. Cross-curricular links will be made to English (report writing), math (line graph drawing), and History (researching the voyage of the Beagle). Some important safety considerations include being aware of allergies, washing hands after handling plants, and avoiding hazardous species when collecting plants. It is also important to note that offspring of organisms may not always be different from their parents, as asexual reproduction can result in identical offspring. Keywords for the lesson include sexual and asexual reproduction, regeneration, cutting, and fragments. Influential scientists for this lesson include Gregor Mendel, Charles Darwin, Agnes Arbor, Mary Chase, and Theophrastus. The lesson will include two activities: Plant Reproduction Research and Asexual Reproduction in Plants 1 (WS). The Plant Reproduction Research will involve producing a report explaining the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants and including several types of asexual reproduction. The Asexual Reproduction in Plants 1 (WS) activity involves growing different plant specimens in soil and water to observe and compare growth over time. <h2>Preparation and Resources</h2> It is important to prepare ahead of time by planting vegetables and cuttings 6 weeks before the lesson. On a weekly basis, pupils will collect their results which will be discussed in class. students should have the results table written in their books and there should be designated plant waterers to ensure the plants remain healthy. Equipment for the activities includes learning pads for the Plant Reproduction Research and plastic cups, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, spring onion, carrots with leaves, ginger roots, soil, water, cocktail sticks, labels, and a ruler for the Asexual Reproduction in Plants 1 (WS) activity.
