Use the diagram below to compare sexual and asexual reproduction. List characteristics sexual reproduction in the right circle. List the characteriistics of asexual reprodcution in the left circle. Where the two circles overlap, write the characteristics and the two types of reproduction have in common. Word wall Use a word wall to record words about the topic. Ask students what words they would like to place on the word wall from today’s lesson. A word wall might include a topic title or picture and words which we have seen or heard about the topic. It is an organized collection of words and images displayed in the classroom. It supports the development of vocabulary related to a particular topic and provides a reference for students. Tips on using a Word Wall Add words gradually, and include images where possible, such as drawings, diagrams or photographs. Build up the number of words on the word wall as students are introduced to the scientific vocabulary of the unit. Position the word wall so that students have easy access to the words. They need to be able to see, remove and return word cards to the wall, A classroom could have one main word wall and two or three smaller ones, each with a different focus, for example, high- frequency words. Choose robust material for the word cards. Write or type words on cardboard and perhaps laminate them. Consider covering the wall with felt- type material and backing each word card with a self- fastening dot to make it easy for students to remove and replace word cards. Word walls do not need to be confined to a wall. Use a portable wall, display screen, shower curtain or window curtain. Consider a cardboard shape that fits with the unit, for example, an animal silhouette for an animal characteristics unit. If students use a different classroom each lesson, the word wall can be recorded on butcher’s paper that can be rolled and moved with each lesson. Organise the words on the wall in a variety of ways. Place them alphabetically, or put them in word groups or groups suggested by the unit topic. Lesson 2 Identify specialised cell structures Understand how various cell parts function How cell parts are related to the genetic process by creating a model to depict the function of the cell parts.
