Animals and creatures that help us
Technology
Technology for farming
KEY CONCEPT: How tools and technology change how humans and animals work together
ACTIVITY: Design a tiny farm tool (plough, tractor,) irrigation) from recycled materials. In groups the students will design and make a small model tto solve farming problems and make farmers' lives easier. They will test their products in the class and discuss if it worked or not. Science Buddies (N.d.)
Products we make from animals
KEY CONCEPT: Where does this come from? Humans use animal products in everyday life. From animals to processing to products
ACTIVITY: create a flow chart showing how certain products and materials are made and where they come from. (wool, milk, eggs, silk) Twinkl (N.d)
Social Science
Animals and their habitats
KEY CONCEPT: How the environment influence which animals live there (climate, vegetation, resources)
ACTIVITY: Match which animal lives where? Simple maps and images of different climates / habitats (forest, jungle, snow, desert). And animal pictures (Rabbit, alligator, penguins, camel) Twinkl (N.d)
Animals in communities and work
KEY CONCEPT: Roles and conttributions from animals in human communities (helpers,workers, companions) (guide dogs, police horses, plowing donkey)
ACTIVITY: I will pose a scenario to the class (help a blind person cross the road) and ask which of the animals on the board could help us the best. Then in groups the students will perform 1 of the scenarios to the class. Brookes Blog (2022)
Natural Science
Animal body structures and functions (birds)
KEY CONCEPT: how animals' bodies are designed to help them survive (movement, feeding, protection)
ACTIVITY: Match the body part to the job it performs (beak, wings, claws) (Twinkl ,N.d)
Bees and pollination
KEY CONCEPT: Interdependence. How bees (pollinators) and plants depend on each other for reproduction and food.
ACTIVITY: Each student will recieve a pipe cleaner (which acts as the bee).There will be paper flowers scattered around the class filled with different powder paints (pollen). The students need to visit each flower with ttheir "bee" to collect and transfer "pollen" They will observe which flowers end up with mixed colours which would be evidence of cross pollination.
