Item description

Looking for some handy worksheets on asexual reproduction for your senior biology students?

This resource consists of four printable black-and-white Student Worksheets (PLUS Answer Sheets) that will not just save you valuable lesson preparation time but also help your students to revise and/or improve their understanding of asexual reproduction and how it compares to sexual reproduction.

Sexual Reproduction covers the following:

• importance of genetic variation amongst offspring

• types of asexual reproduction, including binary fission, mitosis, bulbs, parthenogenesis, spores, runners, rhizomes, cuttings, tubers

Along with printable worksheets, a digital (PowerPoint) version of this resource is included here at no extra cost, giving teachers a choice as to which they prefer to use – taking into account the different learning styles of their students.

Asexual Reproduction includes an Answer Key (PDF) with images in full colour that look great on the big screen and can be used to facilitate good class discussion. Answers provided are also highly detailed, so there is no need to research or fact-check here; it’s all been done for you.

I hope you and your students find this product useful and that you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
