Through this unit children learn that plants and animals reproduce as part of their life cycle and that in every life cycle there are distinct processes and stages. They should begin to understand how reproduction is important to the survival of the species.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- making observations and comparisons
- drawing conclusions.
Work in this unit also offers children opportunities to relate their knowledge and understanding of science to their personal health and to consider ways in which living things need protection.
Some of the work in this unit is likely to be undertaken in relation to the school's programme for personal, social and health education and must be consistent with the school's sex education policy.
This unit takes approximately 12 hours.
