GCSE Biology Topic 6:
In this GCSE Biology Topic 6: Sexual Reproduction lesson on Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis. In this lesson, students will describe the production of gametes by meiosis and explain how gametes fuse to produce offspring. They will explain how this leads to genetic variation and why this is important. The slides include extension questions, and students can choose from a variety of different tasks.
This lesson includes:
- Title slide with learning objectives
- A starter activity
- Group reading
- Task boxes
- Order the steps
- Discussion Exercise
- Comprehension questions
- Handout sheet exercise
- Meiosis vs mitosis comparison
- Includes assessment for learning (AFL). Answer slides included for self-assessment
- Suitable for remote, online, distance learning
- Suitable for supply teaching and home learning. This activity is straightforward and requires no specialist expertise, The last task assumes that students have already covered mitosis. Discussion/extension answers are in the ppt notes.

Next Lesson: Asexual Reproduction
In this lesson, students will state what asexual reproduction is and give examples of organisms which use this method. They will then compare asexual and sexual reproduction and give advantages of each method.
