This past week was the last week of school! We wrapped up the unit about Reproduction, and did some fun, end of year activities. One of the last activities that the students completed had to do with oviparous, viviparous and ovoviviparous animals. The students compared the three different types of animals, and were able to do so in any way that they wanted. Some students created videos, some created drawings, and one wrote a story. They were very creative and demonstrated a good understanding of the differences. They are now all ready for a wonderful summer break!  

The last unit of the year was focusing on plant, insect, and animal reproduction. To begin the unit, the Grade 6s studied plant reproduction. As one of the starting activities, they chose one plant that reproduces sexually, and one plant that reproduces asexually. They then found the differences and similarities between the two plants by creating a venn diagram. After this activity, they participated in a class debate, comparing sexual and asexual reproduction in plants, insects and animals.
