GRADE 7 SCIENCE
 LEARNING COMPETENCY
Differentiate asexual from sexual
reproduction in terms of

1. number of individuals involved

2. similarities of offspring to parents
 At the end of the lesson, the students
should be able to:

• define sexual and asexual reproduction,

• describe the similarities and differences of
sexual and asexual reproduction; and
• examine the different types of sexual and
asexual reproduction

Why do these animals require
different number of parents?
Do these organisms always look the same
like their parents?
LET’S EXPLORE!
Learning Area 1: Vegetative Reproduction
“Can You Grow Plants from ‘Eyes’?”

1. In this activity, a potato tuber was cut into pieces and was planted.
2. Observe and examine the changes in the tubers.
3. Where did the new plants come from?
4. How many parents did it need to reproduce new plants?
5. What plants reproduce in the same manner? Cite some examples.
Learning Area 2: Pollination
“Can You Grow Plants from ‘Dust’?”

1. Study the male and female parts of the flower.

What qualities do they have?
2. What does the stamen have? What do we call the
dust-like particles in it?
3. Touch the pistil. What does it feel like? Why do
you think it is sticky?
4. What process spreads pollen to other plants?
What organisms aid in this process?
5. How many parents are needed to reproduce?
Learning Area 3: Budding
“Can One Become Two?”

1. Using a compound microscope, study

and examine the slides with yeast cells.
2. Notice that there are smaller cells in the
yeast. Those are called buds. It detaches
itself from the mother cell and grows into a
mature cell.
3. How many parents are needed to
reproduce?
Learning Area 4: Internal Fertilization
“Sperm and Egg Cells”

1. Study the picture. Where does a sperm

cell come from? Where does an egg cell
come from?
2. How many organisms are needed to
reproduce an offspring?
3. Does the offspring only have similarities
in just one parent? Support your answer.
Learning Are 5: Fragmentation
“A New Worm By Cutting?”
(Present a video clip about cutting a segmented
worm into two parts.)
 
1. Observe and study the video clip. What organism
is it?
2. What happened to the worm when it was cut?
3. What happened to the separated part of the
worm?
4. How many parents are needed for the
reproduction?
5. Does the offspring have similarities with the
parent worm? Support your answer.
What are your observations from the
following organisms?

- Potatoes
- Gumamela
- Yeast Cell
- Humans
- Segmented Worm
1. Do the organisms have the same
number of parents?

2. Does every offspring look exactly the

same as their parents?
There are two kinds of
reproduction.

Asexual reproduction needs

one parent to produce an
offspring.
 Vegetative Reproduction
(Potatoes)

Fragmentation
Budding
(Segmented
(Yeast Cell) Worm)
Sexual reproduction requires
two parents- a male and a
female- to reproduce.
 Pollination Internal Fertilization
(Gumamela) (Human)
Group 1:

1. Make a Venn Diagram about Asexual

And Sexual Reproduction.

Show their similarities and differences.

Group 2:

1. Draw two organisms that undergo

Asexual reproduction.
Group 3:

1. Draw two organisms that undergo

Sexual reproduction.
Write AR if the sentences refer to an asexual reproduction and SR for sexual
reproduction.
 
____1. Ginger and sweet potatoes can reproduce by planting their plant
tubers in the soil.
 
____2. The male organism produces sperm cells and the female organism
produces an egg cell.
 
____3. Lisa cut a worm into two pieces. She was shocked when she saw the
two pieces move separately and independently.
____4. Male elements of a flower releases pollen to a female element of the
flower.
 
____5. Sponges have smaller parts that can grow and become a different
organism.
Read the sentences below.
 
1. If a starfish loses a body part, it grows itself a new
one. The separated part grows into a new independed
starfish. Why do you think this happened?
 
2. To produce desirable gumamelas, the farmer needs
to propagate a good variety of the flowers. What
method can the farmer use? Support your answer.
