Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Why do some species carry out asexual and sexual reproduction?

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
Examples of organisms reproducing by both methods includes: ? Malarial parasites reproduce asexually in the human host, but sexually in the mosquito. ? Many fungi reproduce asexually by spores but also reproduce sexually to give variation. ? Many plants produce seeds sexually, but also reproduce asexually by runners such as strawberry plants, or bulb division such as daffodils. Historical developments of our understanding of the causes and prevention of malaria. (WS) Knowledge of reproduction in organisms is restricted to those mentioned Students are expected to be able to explain the advantages and disadvantages of asexual and sexual reproduction for any organism if given appropriate information. Advantages of sexual reproduction: ? produces variation in the offspring ? if the environment changes variation gives a survival advantage by natural selection ? natural selection can be speeded up by humans in selective breeding to increase food production. Advantages of asexual reproduction: ? only one parent needed ? more time and energy efficient as do not need to find a mate ? faster than sexual reproduction ? many identical offspring can be produced when conditions are favourable. Some organisms reproduce by both methods depending on the circumstances.

AFL/Key Questions:

What are the advantages of sexual reproduction?
The advantages of sexual reproduction are that: ? produces variation in the offspring ? if the environment changes variation gives a survival advantage by natural selection ? natural selection can be speeded up by humans in selective breeding to increase food production.
What are the advantages of asexual reproduction?
The advantages of asecual reproduction are that: ? only one parent needed ? more time and energy efficient as do not need to find a mate ? faster than sexual reproduction ? many identical offspring can be produced when conditions are favourable.
Do all organisms have to reproduce only sexually or asexually?
Some organisms reproduce by both methods depending on the circumstances.

Starter Activity	Differentiation and Challenge question/task
Students to copy and complete the keywords. Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes; Discuss the scientific meanings of the words. Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords. Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'. What does it show? How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?

Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
