The information in the reproductive success unit I best understood was the concept of flowers having male and female structures for sexual reproduction. The topic that was most challenging for me to understand was the different behaviors animals use to increase their chances of reproducing successfully.
A strategy I could use to explain how the structures that plants have and behaviors animals use help them to reproduce successfully is by creating a visual diagram or infographic. This can help to show the connections between the different structures and behaviors and how they contribute to reproductive success.
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is the role of pollinators in plant reproduction. I am curious to understand the specific ways in which animals like bees or birds aid in the transfer of pollen between flowers and how this contributes to successful reproduction.
Today you will review all topics that you’ve learned in this unit.
Read through the list of topics from this unit. Make sure that you feel confident about each of them before taking the unit test. If there are any topics that you forget or think you need to practice, go back and review those lessons now:
Flowers have male and female structures that help the plant to reproduce sexually
Nonflowering plants use other structures to help them reproduce
Gymnosperms and flowering plants produce pollen as part of their reproduction
Some animals aid in the reproduction of plants by carrying pollen between flowers
Animals use behaviors to increase their chances of reproducing successfully

Study Tips
Are there any topics that you need to go back and review? Use the following tips while studying:
Make a list of three vocabulary words from each lesson in this unit. Use these words in a concept map. Be sure to connect each word to at least one other word.
Review your results on previous assessments in this unit.
Try to draw and label the structures used by flowering and nonflowering plants for reproduction from memory. Then, revisit the lessons to add to and improve your drawings.
Write an email to a friend that identifies and describes two behaviors that animals use to help them reproduce successfully.
Search for videos that show animal behaviors such as courtship to increase your understanding of how these behaviors work to increase reproductive success.
