KS3 ~ Year 7 ~ Reproductive Systems

This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 B1.3 Module on ‘Reproduction’.

For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience.

The lesson starts with an introduction to the main functions of the female and male reproductive systems. This then leads into a task whereby students will firstly watch a video on the structure of the female reproductive system, during which they will need to label a diagram. After this, students will watch a video on the structure of the male reproductive system, again students will need to label a diagram whilst watching this video. Students can then mark their work using the mark scheme provided.

Next, students will each be given a card of information which describes the function of one part of either the male/female reproductive system. Students will need to walk around the room and share information with each other to complete their own table to summarise each of these functions. The mark scheme for this task is also included so students can either self assess or peer assess their work.

The next activity is a progress check task, students will answer a set of levelled questions based upon what they have learned so far this topic. Once this task has been completed, students can mark and correct their own work.

Lastly, students will complete an activity whereby they will be required to match the correct reproductive structure with it’s function, students can self-assess their work once complete, using the answers provided.

The plenary task is an anagram challenge - students should try to unscramble the words to reveal 6 key words learned over the last two lessons on adolescence and reproductive systems.

All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)
