GCSE Biology Topic 6: Asexual Reproduction
In this GCSE Biology Topic 6: Asexual Reproduction 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.
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
- Sorting task (sexual or asexual?)
- Discussion Exercise
- Comprehension questions
- Handout sheet exercise
- 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 is fully self-explanatory and can be delivered without specialist knowledge, The last task assumes that students have already covered mitosis. Discussion/extension answers are in the ppt notes.

Next Lesson: X and Y Chromosomes
In this lesson, students will describe the chromosome combinations which determine biological sex in humans and use genetic diagrams to show the probability of a baby being born male or female.
