How Do Organisms Reproduce?
Directions: Make a book about reproduction.
Follow the steps below to make the book. Use the index and table of contents of the
text book to research the information about reproduction.
Front Cover: How Do Organisms Reproduce? (1pt)
1. Write the title “How Do Organisms Reproduce?” in the center of the page.
2. Write the name of the author on bottom right hand corner “By: Your Name”
Page 1: Types of Reproduction (9pts)
3. Write the title “Types of Reproduction” at the top of the page.
4. Define Reproduction in a sentence.
5. What are the two types of reproduction? (Write in a sentence)
6. Make a Double Bubble Map to comparing the two types of reproduction.
Use the following phrases in your Map.
 Involves 2 parents
 Produces fewer
offspring
 Involves 1 parent
 Reproduces quickly
 Genetically identical
to the parent
 Reproduces slowly
 Genetically different
 Organisms: Hydra,
to the parent
Yeast, Bacteria, Some
Plants
 Produces offspring
 Organisms: Mammals,
 Passes traits (genes)
Birds, Flowering
to a new generation
Plants
 Produces many
 Uses Mitosis
offspring
 Uses Meiosis
Page 2: Asexual Reproduction (5pts)
7. Write the title “Asexual Reproduction” at the top of the page.
8. Define Asexual Reproduction in a sentence.
9. Cut out the pictures and captions on Appendix A.
10. Match the picture to the captions and glue them into the book.
Page 3: Sexual Reproduction (4pts)
11. Write the title “Sexual Reproduction”
12. Define Sexual Reproduction in a sentence.
13. List six organisms the reproduce sexually and one fact about their
reproduction. (one reptile, one bird, one fish, one amphibian, one
mammal, one plant)
Page 4: Reproduction in Mammals (6pts)
14. Use the information in Appendix B to develop a table that identifies and
explains reproduction in mammals.
15. Cut and paste the images and words to arrange in a table in the book.
Page 5: Reproduction in Angiosperms (Flowering Plants) (10pts)
16. Label the plant diagram in Appendix C by using colors to identify the
parts.
17. Use the word bank to fill in the blanks of the diagram caption.
18. Cut and paste the diagram and caption into the book.

Binary Fission is the
separation of parent into two
individuals. First, the DNA is
copied and then the cell
divides making a new
offspring. The offspring
produced is the same size as
the parent.
Budding is when new
individuals are grown off of
the parent then eventually
break from the parent and
become an independent
organism. The offspring
produced is smaller than the
parent.
Some plants use non
reproductive parts, such as
stems, roots, and leaves, to
reproduce by growing new
plants from the planted parts.
The reproduction of plants from
these parts is called Vegetative
(Plant) Propagation.

Monotreme
Young are born
underdeveloped and
continue to develop in
the pouch of the mother
Organisms
Special Characteristics
Young hatch
undeveloped and drink
mothers milk until
developed.
Cows,
Humans
Marsupials
Develop fully in the
uterus and receive
nutrient from placenta
Young is most
developed at birth.
Platypus,
Echina
Placental
Mammals
Young attaches to
nipples in the pouch to
gain nutrients
Reproduce by laying
eggs with leathery shells.

Appendix C
Basic Angiosperm Reproduction
Matching:
1. ______ Petals
2. ______ Ovule
3. ______ Pollen (grain)
4. ______ Ovary
5. ______ Anther
A. Female reproductive structure,
produces ovules
B. Female sex cells (gamete)
C. Attracts pollinators
D. Male reproductive structure,
a pollen producing sac
E. Male sex cells (gamete)
The flower reproduces when pollination occurs. The
___________________ attract pollinators to help reproduction occur. The
wind or animals transport the ______________ from the
_____________________ to the style of the pistil. The pollen then travels
down the stigma to reach the ovule in the ___________. When the pollen
(male sex cell) and ____________(female sex cell) join together in
fertilization, then a seed is produced to make a new offspring.
