It's not rocket science: Sexual reproduction and species maintenance in environments

Selection of sequences from the show 'C'est pas sorcier' that align with the new 4th-grade curriculum.
To illustrate the lesson or to serve as a support in the implementation of the investigative approach.

Topics covered:
- Sexual reproduction: internal fertilization in chickens; external fertilization in starfish; oviparity: different eggs, comparison with viviparity; external fertilization in fish; fertilization in flowering plants

- Mating strategies: deer rutting; pheromones

- Environmental conditions influence the reproduction and fate of a species: a fragile food chain for birds of prey; an adaptation of reproduction for bears and bats

- Humans influence the reproduction, fate, and biodiversity of living beings: the destruction of birds of prey and conservation efforts; conservation of felines; fluctuations in the deer population; control of horse and cow reproduction
