The lesson involves students recapping knowledge on cells and specialised cells from the first part of the unit. They then make plasticine models of the reproductive organs and label diagrams of the reproductive organs. Students can then be given the opportunity to improve their models. The lesson ends with a mini-whiteboard plenary.
