Presented clearly and accurately, this PowerPoint introduces biology learners to asexual reproduction in plants. It begins by comparing asexual to sexual reproduction by definition and by the pros and cons of each. The remaining slides briefly characterize tubers, bulbs, runners, and two methods of artificial propagation. This presentation would be a tool for supplementing your lecture with visuals.
How do seeds get from a plant to the ground so they can germinate? This presentation provides the answer to seed dispersal in relation to plant reproduction. Straightforward explanations and definitions for wind, animal, burial, fruit, and spinning dispersal make this a comprehensive resource.
Fifth graders, after reading the handout "They Journey of an Ovum," assess the components of the human reproductive system as well as describe the functions of the various components (fertilization, conception, etc.). They examine the menstrual cycle in detail.
Students study asexual and sexual reproduction. For this investigative lesson students fill out a worksheet and view a PowerPoint presentation.
Students study the reproductive strategies of reef building corals. In this coral reef lesson students describe the behaviors of reef building corals and their nutritional strategies.
Eighth graders examine the reproductive organs of plants. In this plant reproduction lesson, 8th graders identify the reproductive organs of different plants using a digital camera. Students create a plant portfolio of images large enough to see all the parts of both a male and female flower.
Quiz your learners on the reproductive process using this terminology assessment tool! Choose 1 of 2 options: have students play online, or make copies of the paper version.
