What educators are saying

My students had fun reading through the sometimes weird but true scenarios to try to figure out the they exist. It was engaging for them and led to a great classroom discussion.
My gr 8 science class found the different adaptations very interesting and this was an engaging way to finish the unit on how animals survive.

Description

Spark discussion related to reproductive strategies with this resource, designed to closely align to NGSS standard MS-LS1-4.

With this activity, students will look at several examples of reproductive adaptations in plants and animals. Students are asked to think critically about how different strategies used by species are beneficial to the survival of both the individual, the offspring, and the species.

This resource covers:

  • adaptations
  • benefits and drawbacks to sexual and asexual reproduction
  • 14 unique animal behaviors for successful reproduction
  • 14 unique plant structures for successful reproduction

How Can I Use this Resource?

  • Emergency Sub Plans
  • An independent work station in a set of stations
  • Differentiation – Assign this practice as reteaching for students who have yet to show mastery.
  • Homework 
  • Creation of Independent Work Packet for students who are not able to be present for direct instruction.
  • Extension activity for early finishers or for students who show a special interest in the topic
  • Use as a square on a Choice Board
  • Interactive Notebooks: Print 2 pages in one and cut apart. Glue mini pages into notebooks with room for annotations on the side
  • Interactive Notebooks: Print entire PDF as a mini booklet and add to notebooks using thesesimple instructions.

NGSSMS-LS1-4
Use argument based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively. Examples of behaviors that affect the probability of animal reproduction could include nest building to protect young from cold, herding of animals to protect young from predators, and vocalization of animals and colorful plumage to attract mates for breeding. Examples of animal behaviors that affect the probability of plant reproduction could include transferring pollen or seeds, and creating conditions for seed germination and growth. Examples of plant structures could include bright flowers attracting butterflies that transfer pollen, flower nectar and odors that attract insects that transfer pollen, and hard shells on nuts that squirrels bury.
