Reproduction Teacher Resources

Begin looking at reproduction by contrasting sexual reproduction with asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction gives us genetic variation as meiosis creates brand new chromosomes through cross over. Male and female anatomy is covered,...

Detailing the structures and functions of flowering plants, this slide show will help your students understand the processes and the conditions that allow pollination and fertilization. Labelled diagrams help introduce the reproductive...

Students differentiate the processes involved in sexual and asexual reproduction. In this plant science lesson, students discuss the pros and cons of both methods. They explain how sexual reproduction can lead to genetic diversity.

Short, but sweet, this handout questions the learner on the structures and processes of plant reproduction. Budding botanists draw a dicot seed, label a flower diagram, and describe the functions of different flower parts. It also covers...

Sal from the Khan Academy draws an example of sexual reproduction and the chromosomes that come together from each gamete. He explains mitosis about halfway through the video, eventually showing differentiation and meiosis. Give your...

Young biologists define reproduction vocabulary terms, answer critical-thinking questions, label a diagram of the human life cycle, and complete a chart comparing mitosis to meiosis. This is a well-balanced worksheet. Even though it...

It's every health and science teacher's favorite subject to cover: the reproductive system. This comprehensive lesson introduces adolescents to the reproductive anatomy of men and women with the help of a series of diagrams, discussions,...

Pass on to your class knowledge about different aspects of reproduction with this simple life science lesson. From amoebas to grizzly bears, young scientists read about a variety of organisms as they investigate the advantages and...

In this video about the reproductive system, the narrator discusses the importance of sex — to reproduce and pass on genetic material — and reminds viewers of the differences between the gametes. He then explains the reproductive parts...

This is a nice, subdued series of slides that can be used to teach about the human reproductive systems, male and female. Early in the presentation, a warning slide previews uncomfortable words. Four diagrams are included, two of the...

What force drives a species' will to survive and thrive? Explore reproduction through the first of a four-part video series. The narrator discusses both sexual and asexual reproduction and cites examples of each. 

High schoolers identify the parts of the male reproductive system. They explore the functions of the male reproductive system. Students demonstrate the connection between reproductive health and the ability to reproduce. High schoolers...

Students identify the parts of a male and female reproductive system and what the jobs of those parts are.  In this reproduction instructional activity students describe some reproductive technologies. 

Only humans, primates, and some bats have menstrual cycles. The presentation begins with the evolution of the reproductive system among vertebrates and mammalian breeding patterns. It further covers fertilization, phases of the menstrual...

Even though this presentation was designed to supplement a specific textbook chapter, the content is easily adapted to any high school biology course. It introduces asexual reproduction and explains six different types: mitosis, binary...

Engage Secondary Special Education young scholars in a developmentally appropriate lesson on human reproduction. They review genital anatomy and 5 key components that comprise the reproductive cycle. Perfect for a mild to moderately...

Biology apprentices absorb the detailed structure and function of the male and female human reproductive systems. The content of this activity is complete, including reproductive hormones and drugs, the ovarian and menstrual cycles, and...

Students with mild to moderate disabilities discuss human reproduction and the importance of preventing pregnancy. They review reproductive anatomy, sexual decision making, and what birth control is. The lesson concludes with a...
