Topic 6: reproduction

3.3 Organisms,behaviour and health: b) the human reproductive cycle includes adolescence, fertilisation and foetal development
2.1 Life processes
2.2a Obtain, record and analyse data from a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including ICT sources, and use their findings to provide evidence for scientific explanations;
2.1.c Plan and carry out practical and investigative activities, both individually and in groups
1.2 Critical interpretation of secondary evidence;

  • Describe how fertilisation occurs
  • Explain what fertilisation means
  • Understand the process of external fertilization
  • Understand the life cycle of a human
  • Explain the difference between fertilisation and conception
  • Describe the changes occurring at puberty in boys and girls
  • Interpret information on the changes occurring in puberty
  • Explain the changes occurring in the menstrual cycle
  • Describe how a foetus develops in its mother
  • Record information on the rate of growth of the foetus
  • Explain the role of the placenta
  • Describe what happens during labour
  • Recognise the difference between birth and labour
  • Discuss the problems that can occur during birth

Biology 4 Kids Plant Reproduction

Learning Outcomes

  1. I know why many eggs are produced in some species.
  2. I know how long pregnancy usually lasts in humans.
  3. I know the stages of the human life-cycle.
  4. I know the stages of the plant life-cycle.
  5. I know that the male sex cell is the sperm and it is produced in the testis.
  6. I know that the female sex cell is the egg and it is produced in the ovary.
  7. I know that fertilisation is when an egg joins to a sperm.
  8. I know that fertilisation usually occurs in the oviduct.
  9. I can label the male reproductive parts: testis, penis, glands, sperm tube.
  10. I can label the female reproductive parts: ovary, oviduct, vagina, uterus, cervix.
  11. I can label the parts of a flower
  12. I know the changes that occur in a male during puberty: voice breaks, hair grows on face and around genitals and in armpits, production of sperm, broadening of shoulders.
  13. I know the changes that occur in a female during puberty: menstrual cycle starts,hips widen, breasts develop,
    hair grows in pubic area and in armpits.
  14. I know that in both males and females there is a growth spurt during puberty.
  15. I can interpret data about human growth.
  16. I know the role of the umbilical cord and amniotic fluid during pregnancy.
  17. I can explain how flowers are pollenated.
  18. I can explain how the pollen grain germinates.
  19. I can explain how a sperm is adapted for its role.
  20. I can explain the role of the placenta in the exchange of oxygen and food from the mother’s blood to the
    baby’s blood and carbon dioxide and other wastes from the baby’s blood to the mother’s blood.
