Topic aimed at following on from reproduction in year 7/KS3. The worksheets are not all necessarily mine, or I have only slightly edited them - so this lesson string is a free resource.

Pupils’ starting point, prior or prerequisite knowledge: KS2: Life cycles Pupils learn that plants and animals reproduce as part of their life cycle and that in every life cycle there are distinct processes and stages. They begin to understand how reproduction is important to the survival of the species. KS3: Previous lessons about pollination and structures of a plant. Possible misconceptions about: Seeds/pollen being the same thing All seeds need the same requirements (not sure going to go into that much detail) – all need the same basic requirements however. Detail of key science concepts or skills: Plants need air, water, warmth, and light to be able to grow. A seed has three main parts: embryo – the young root and shoot that will become the adult plant food store – starch for the young plant to use until it is able to carry out photosynthesis seed coat – a tough protective outer covering Inquiry question/s: What conditions are needed for seeds to germinate? What conditions are needed for plants to grow? Pupil learning objectives/outcomes/success criteria: By the end of the lesson the pupils will be able to: Objectives: • What do plants need to grow? • Which conditions are needed for germination to happen? Outcomes: • State the basic requirements for plant growth. • Describe the conditions needed for germination to happen. • Carry out an experiment to investigate the conditions needed for germination to happen.

Lesson Objectives State the role of bees in plant reproduction (pollination). Describe the changes in bee populations over time and give a few reasons why numbers are declining. Explain how pollination takes place and be able to say what is being done to restore bee populations in the local environment. Keywords Bee Reproduction Pollination CCD
