15 lessons
Fertilisation
This lesson describes how human reproduction occurs, including the key events of fertilisation and implantation, and also looks at cell division.
Gestation
This lesson describes the process of gestation, including development of the foetus, risk factors and looking at data.
Risk Factors during Gestation
This lesson looks at the risks of smoking and drinking alcohol during pregnancy, along with exploring data and graphs.
Birth
This lesson describes the process of birth in humans and looks at differences in numbers of offspring between different animals.
Puberty and the Menstrual Cycle
This lesson looks at the changes that occur in males and females during puberty with a focus on the main events in the menstrual cycle.
Reproduction Revision 1
Revision lesson. This lesson recaps the processes that occur in the making of a baby, then looks at how the chromosome number is maintained through sexual reproduction.
Jean Purdy and fertility treatment
This lesson looks at the embryologist Jean Purdy, her contribution to fertility treatment and the uses of her discoveries.
Plant Reproduction
This lesson looks at the main parts of the flower and the process of pollination. This draws comparisons with human reproduction.
Seed Formation and Dispersal
This lesson follows the previous and discusses the mechanisms of fertilisation and seed formation in plants.
Practical: Seed Dispersal
This lesson focuses on an investigation into seed dispersal, with a focus on the different variables that affect seed dispersal.
Variation
The lesson looks at the definition of a species, different forms of variation and data on variation.
Practical: Human Variation
This lesson looks at an investigation into human variation, focusing on an investigation into variation in human height and handspan. The lesson also focuses on graph plotting skills.
Why is variation important?
This lesson looks at why variation is important in humans and in different populations of animals and plants.
Reproduction Revision (Part 2)
This lesson recaps the reproduction process in plants and compares it to the reproduction process in humans.
