Open direct link

Learning journey

Your child is learning about how living things reproduce and grow — comparing different life cycles from mammals to insects, and understanding the various ways plants and animals create new generations.

Evidence of understanding

  • Describe sexual reproduction in plants: pollination, fertilisation, seed production
  • Give examples of asexual reproduction in plants: runners (strawberries), bulbs, cuttings
  • Compare reproduction in egg-laying animals (birds, frogs) vs live-bearing mammals

Assessment prompt

Can Plant & Animal Reproduction explain different ways plants reproduce — not just from seeds but also from cuttings or runners — and how animals reproduce by having babies or laying eggs?
