In this lesson, students will learn that there are two types of reproduction in plants: sexual and asexual. They will learn about the life cycle of plants that reproduce sexually looking at pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal and germination. They will also learn the different parts of flowering plants and will dissect a flowering plant using the guide to help them. They will then look at asexual reproduction in plants through tubers, runners and bulbs. They will consider the advantages and disadvantages with both. They will be quizzed throughout the lesson for retrieval and will then complete an activity sheet which will question their understanding. A knowledge organiser for the unit is included.

In this lesson, students will learn that regular exercise keeps our heart and lungs healthy, and our bones and muscles strong. They will learn about the different types of exercise and will categorise different examples. They will learn all the key benefits of exercise linking also to the circulatory system before investigating the effect of exercise on their heart rate. They will take this further and investigate a hypothesis and will have to organise their experiment as well as record and present their results. A knowledge organiser of the unit is included.
