• Description: B6 Reproduction in Plants & B7 Reproduction in Humans. Students will delve into two main areas: plant reproduction and human reproductive systems. We will be identifying and understanding the parts and functions of insect-pollinated flowers, distinguishing them from wind-pollinated counterparts, and defining pollination. We will focus on seed germination and the environmental factors affecting it. Moving on to human biology, we will study the male reproductive system, its components, and their functions, then delve into the female reproductive system, fertilisation, and early embryo development, including the menstrual cycle and the roles of the amniotic sac, amniotic fluid, placenta, and umbilical cord in embryonic development and nutrient exchange. L/O: In plant reproduction, you'll learn about insect-pollinated flowers by identifying and drawing parts like sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Understand their roles and compare them to wind-pollinated flowers. Pollination is pollen transfer from anther to stigma, and structural adaptations of both flower types are crucial. For seed germination, investigate how environmental factors like water, oxygen, and temperature affect it. In the male reproductive system, identify and explain the functions of testes, scrotum, sperm ducts, prostate gland, urethra, and penis in reproduction. In the female reproductive system, recognize ovaries, oviducts, uterus, cervix, and vagina, and state their functions. Describe fertilisation, comparing male and female gametes, discussing their adaptations. Explain the menstrual cycle and early development from zygote to embryo. Finally, understand the roles of the amniotic sac, amniotic fluid, placenta, and umbilical cord in embryonic development and nutrient exchange.
