Understanding Reproduction: Pollen, Eggs, and Life Cycles in Plants

 
Reproduction.
 
This can be completed throughout the week.
 
Can you remember…
 
Write down as much important
information that you can remember
about pollen and eggs in plants as
well as life cycles.
 
Why do animals lay so many
eggs?
 
Male animals make sperm whilst females make eggs, When
sperm meets an egg, the sperm fertilises the egg. This
happens in many animals outside of the body.
 
Mammals
 
External fertilisation
 
Internal fertilisation
 
Task 1- This is a model of the
fertilisation process
 
You will need:
Cups
Seeds (or something else that is similar size)
Outdoor space.
 
Place the plastic cups a few centimetres apart in a group. You are going
to imagine that you are frogs. The birdseed is the ‘sperm’ and the
plastic cups are the ‘eggs’. You are going to throw the seeds in to the
cups. If the seed manages to get into the cup it has been fertilised.
 
Firstly, stand 2 meters away and try and throw the birdseed, one seed
at a time, into the plastic cups. Count how many cups have been
‘fertilised’.
 
Continue to next slide
 
Task 1- continued
 
Now have another go at throwing the seeds into the cup.
However,
 this time you will just have a handful of seeds and
you will throw all of them at the same time into the cup (from
2 meters away).
Are more fertilised than last time? Why?
What does this show?
 
In external fertilisation, large numbers of sperm and eggs are
released. The reason so much sperm is released is that it
increases the chances of eggs being fertilised.
 
Task 2
 
Research whether these animals fertilise inside or outside of the
body and how many offspring are produced at a time.
Horse
Duck
Frog
Salmon
 
Why do some have so many babies? Why do some only have a
few?
 
Create a poster listing the advantages and disadvantages of
having one baby, then do the same for having hundreds.

Watch the video  clip below. You should write down notes  as
you will need them for your last task for this week.

Final Task
 
After researching plants and animal reproduction over the
past few weeks, now conduct further research on both these
different types of reproduction. The websites below should
get you started on your research.

Questions to think about:
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Differences and similarities between the two?
 
How to present what you have
discovered
 
Here are a few ideas of different ways you could present your work.
Flash cards/trivia cards- create questions and answers ( you can use
these to test a sibling or your parents).
Write a brochure/pamphlet
Presentation
Poster
Create you own test for somebody else to complete.
Use a Venn diagram to compare the similarities and differences
between how plants and animals reproduce.

Reproduction in plants involves the transfer of pollen to eggs, leading to fertilization and the formation of new life. Male animals produce sperm, while females produce eggs, which fertilize when they meet. Different animals exhibit external or internal fertilization, with varying numbers of offspring produced. Through hands-on tasks and research, learn about the importance of reproduction in nature and the factors influencing the number of babies born in different species.

  2. Can you remember Write down as much important information that you can remember about pollen and eggs in plants as well as life cycles.

  3. Why do animals lay so many eggs? Male animals make sperm whilst females make eggs, When sperm meets an egg, the sperm fertilises the egg. This happens in many animals outside of the body.

  4. Mammals

  5. External fertilisation

  6. Internal fertilisation

  7. Task 1-This is a model of the fertilisation process You will need: Cups Seeds (or something else that is similar size) Outdoor space. Place the plastic cups a few centimetres apart in a group. You are going to imagine that you are frogs. The birdseed is the sperm and the plastic cups are the eggs . You are going to throw the seeds in to the cups.

  8. Task 1-continued Now have another go at throwing the seeds into the cup. However, this time you will just have a handful of seeds and you will throw all of them at the same time into the cup (from 2 meters away). Are more fertilised than last time? Why? What does this show? In external fertilisation, large numbers of sperm and eggs are released. The reason so much sperm is released is that it increases the chances of eggs being fertilised.
