CONTENT OF THE LESSON  

INTRODUCTION

Reproduction is  the process by which adult animals reproduce their young ones.

Reproduction is one of the characteristics of living things.

There are two basic types of reproduction –

1. asexual reproduction

2. sexual reproduction.

Asexual and sexual reproduction, two methods of reproduction among living things, produce their young ones are genetically unique.

MEANING OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Asexual reproduction involves a single parent.

Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis.

• binary fission: the process whereby a cell divides asexually to produce two daughter cells.

• hermaphroditism: having sexual organs of both sexes.

• parthenogenesis: a form of asexual reproduction where growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization

MEANING OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Sexual reproduction involves two parents.

Sexual reproduction is possible through the combination of reproductive cells from two parents.

REPRODUCTION IN AMOEBA BY ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

1. BINARY FISSION

2. MULTIPLE FISSION

 

REPRODUCTION IN PARAMECIUM BY

1. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

 

REPRODUCTION IN SPIROGYRA BY

1. ASEXUAL OR VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION

2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION OR CONJUGATION

REPRODUCTION IN THE EARTHWORM

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION ONLY

REPRODUCTION IN COCKROACH

1. FERTILIZATION IS INTERNAL

2. EXHIBITS INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

REPRODUCTION IN HOUSE FLY

FERTILIZATION IS INTERNAL

EXHIBITS 6COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

REPRODUCTION IN THE SNAIL

FERTILIZATION IS INTERNAL

LAY EGGS WHICH HATCH INTO young SNAILS

PRESENTATION

To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:

1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson. Based on this, he/she asks the students some questions; then, the teacher –

2. Mount specimens from the ditch on the microscope for students to observe.

Student’s Activities –

• Collect water from the ditch and view under the microscope to observe unicellular organisms.

• Observe prepared slides of their reproductive stages.

3. Request students to collect eggs of cockroaches and observe.

Observe the collected cockroach eggs and note your observations.

4. Collect maggots of housefly and keep for observations.

Observe the housefly maggots daily and note your observations

5. Collect eggs laid by a snail and keep in a closed container for observation.

Observe the snail eggs and take daily notes.

6. Collect some earthworms and keep in a suitable container for students to observe.

Student’s Activities – Observe and describe earthworms.

7. Summarizes the lesson on the board.

Student’s Activities – Copy as the teacher writes. Prepare a chart to show complete metamorphosis.

CONCLUSION

To conclude the lesson for the week, the teacher revises the entire lesson and links it to the following week’s lesson.

LESSON EVALUATION 

Ask students to:

1. define asexual and sexual reproduction.

2. describe the two major ways by which spirogyra and paramecium reproduce.

3. describe the mode of reproduction found in the earthworm.

4. why is the cockroach said to exhibit incomplete metamorphosis?

5. distinguish between complete and incomplete metamorphosis.

6. what is the major difference in the life cycle of a cockroach and a housefly?

7. what is the main feature of reproduction in snail?
