  By the end of this course, students will: Use this title as a reference tool.
SCIENCE
Biology: Reproduction 		describe cell division, including mitosis, as part of the cell cycle, including the roles of the nucleus, cell membrane, and organelles (see the Digital Frog for correlation to Cell Division)
describe and give examples of types of sexual reproduction that occur in plants and in animals, including hermaphrodites (e.g., conjugation, cross-fertilization, internal and external fertilization) A comparison of sexual and asexual reproduction is not covered in our titles, but examples of reproduction strategies can be found in the Organism screens of each of the three field trips, as well as the Animal Adaptations section in the Digital Field Trip to the Desert. The Botany section in the Digital Field Trip to the Rainforest covers seed, flower, and fruit structure.

SCIENCE
Biology: Reproduction Processes and Applications 		describe the basic process of cell division, including what happens to the cell membrane and the contents of the nucleus (e.g., stages of mitosis — prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) (see The Digital Frog 2.5 for correlation to Cell Division)  
describe the various types of sexual reproduction that occur in plants and in animals, and identify some plants and animals, including hermaphrodites, that exhibit this type of reproduction A comparison of sexual and asexual reproduction is not covered in our titles, but examples of reproduction strategies can be found in the Organism screens of each of the three field trips, as well as the Animal Adaptations section in the Digital Field Trip to the Desert. The Botany section in the Digital Field Trip to the Rainforest covers seed, flower, and fruit structure.
