Reproduction produces new organisms. In flowering plants, pollination moves pollen to a stigma. Fertilisation joins reproductive cells; an ovule can develop into a seed. These are different events. Asexual reproduction can form a new plant from an existing plant part without fertilisation. Safety: No plant cutting, animal handling or biological samples. Stop: Stop with paper cards. Do not cut plants, open eggs or attempt breeding.

Materials: Paper; Pencil 1. Draw a flower with a pollen-producing anther, a stigma and an ovary containing ovules. Add pollen → stigma, then a pollen tube toward an ovule. Label pollination, fertilisation and seed formation in order. 2. Make three paper cards: strawberry runner grows a new plant at a node; an onion bulb can form daughter bulbs; a suitable stem cutting can grow roots. Put these under Asexual. Put a seed formed after fertilisation under Sexual. 3. Write two animal cards: chicken embryo develops in a laid egg; human embryo develops inside the parent and the baby is born alive. Compare where development happens. Both examples involve fertilisation of an egg cell. 4. Add a frog card: many frogs release eggs and sperm into water. Explain why egg-laying versus live birth does not mean sexual versus asexual. Write one similarity and one difference between the plant methods. Done: Complete one flower sequence, a four-card plant sort and an animal comparison with one shared feature. Proof: Keep the drawings and comparison. Note adult help with reproductive terms, labels or writing. Stop: Stop with paper cards. Do not cut plants, open eggs or attempt breeding.
