In this reproductive system worksheet, students compare specimens of rat ovaries and testes. They complete 5 short answer pre-lab questions, follow an 11 step procedure and answer 5 analysis questions.

Eight objectives pertaining to plant reproduction are stated and addressed in this presentation. Objectives include defining sexual and asexual reproduction, comparing monocots to dicots, explaining flower types, and more. Some of the...

These two pages cover the gamut of topics regarding reproduction and DNA replication. Structures, processes, functions, and reasons for them are tested here. The questions are mostly multiple choice, but there are also a few...

Students examine cell division and the process of mitosis.  For this cell reproduction lesson students grow yeast and observe the results, and learn about the career of scientific illustration. 

Students research the Arctic Hare and chart relevant information under month headings. They compare the information about the Arctic hare to other Arctic mammals.

Students examine the life cycle of plants. In this plants lesson, students identify the various stages of plants and their parts. Students compare the life cycle of a plant with that of an animal. Activities suggested can be modified for...

Students are introduced to how the process of evolution works. As a class, they review the characteristics of natural selection and how those with advantageous traits reproduce and survive. To test this theory of natural selection,...

In this fish and amphibian characteristics worksheet, students will two idea maps to compare fishes and amphibians. Students will complete 2 short answer questions based on these idea maps.

Students analyze the similarities in different species. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students classify shoes to mimic the scientific categories of the classification system.

Students discover the reproductive parts of a plant.  In this biology lesson, students identify and categorize several different plants they dissect in class.  Students record their information using a data chart.

Students dissect three different flowers and compare and contrast them. In this flowers lesson plan, students learn about the flower anatomy and then dissect their own flowers.

Students study angiosperms and their classifications.  In this investigative lesson plan students compare the sexual reproduction of angiosperms and seed formations. 

Ninth graders study deer including their reproduction rate and management in Pennsylvania.  In this deer overpopulation lesson students estimate deer population and suggest management tools. 

Students review their prior knowledge on plants. In groups, they compare and contrast the difference between reproducing asexually and sexually. Using the internet, they research how some plants can be forced to produce asexually.
