Animals and creatures that help us

)Types of Bees and their roles in a hive
-The queen bee's task is to keep the hive full of new bees. Everything else the queen bee needs is done for her.
-Drones have one job that is to mate with the queen.
-The workers do most of the work in the hive including creating honeycomb, preserving honey, and gathering and storing nectar.
(Nuplas Apiarist Supplies, 2019)
Classifying
I will play a short video showing the learners the different bees and their jobs in the hive. I will then divide the classroom into three sections (queen bee, worker bee and drone bee). I will place picture cards in a box, one of the cards will have a picture of a bee with a crown on it ( Queen bee) , one will have a picture of a bee (drone bee) with binoculars, looking for a queen bee and one will have a picture of a bee collecting nectar (worker bee). Each child will then pick out a card think about which bee it is and go stand int that section. At the end we will discuss and check if everyone correctly identified the type of bee.
2) How bees help plants produce food
Bees are necessary for the cultivation of flowers and plants. Pollination is the transferring of tiny little pollen grains from the flower of one plant to the flower of another plant of the same species (Kids & Parents, 2020)
Life and living
I will have some students role play the flowers and some the bees i will then give the learner playing the bees containers ( nectar collectors) and the learners that are flowers some beads (nectar) i will then tell the bees to visit the flowers and collect the nectar from them ( beads) and then go and give it to another flower. This will give them an understanding of the pollination process
Technology
1) Build Chicken Coops
Chickens need a safe and spacious place to rest, lay eggs, and be safe from predators (Azure Farm Life, n.d.)
Make
I will show the learners pictures of chickens in coops and what they need to survive and produce eggs and feathers for us, then i will create a story of my own in which something has happened and the chickens have nowhere to live. I will then group the learners and tell them that we are going to build a chicken coop for the lost chickens. The learners will be instructed to bring recyclable materials from home such as big cardboard boxes ( for coop structure, as the chickens need sapce), containers (for the water), little cloths ( for the chickens to lay their eggs in) and togue depressors ( for a protective fence). I will show the learners a chicken coop created by me and display it in front of the class so that they have some guidance on how to go about building theirs.
2) Investigate how cows live on the farm*
Investigate
I will take the learners on an excursion to a nearby farm and we will have a look at the cows and explore with a guide what they need to live ( what they eat, how long they sleep, how to milk them). The learners will also get a chance to help milk a cow. The next day i will display pictures of a few items on the learners tables and have them pick out the ones that relate to cows. This will allow them to think back on what they had investigated from the excursion
Cows eat 5 to 9 meals a day. Cows sleep for 4 hours. Farmers not only feed clean and milk the cows but also check on them multiple times a day to see if their comfortable and healthy (Dairy Farmers of Canada, n.d.)
Social Science
Animals are used to plough fields; transport water for crops and other livestock; carry supplies, fertilizers and equipment necessary for agricultural work; and transport produce to and from the market. Working horses, donkeys and mules must receive the recognition that they deserve (Saville, 2020)
Relationships & Interdependence
I will divide the learners into pairs and one must role play a horse or donkey ( they will hold buckets, and the other must role play a farmer ( they will wear farmer hats). I will then instruct the "animals" to carry the buckets to one end of the outdoor playground and have the "farmers" fill it with water then the "donkeys/horses" must carry it back to the starting point. After this the farmers will feed and clean the "animals" ( the "farmers" will give the "donkeys/horses" a treat and wipe them with a tissue ) to show the learners the relationship and interdependence between farmers and horses/donkeys
1)How donkeys & horses help farmers
2) How guide dogs help visually impaired people
Guide dogs help people who are visually impaired navigate safely through their daily lives and be more independent (healthdirect, 2024)
I will display 6 different guide dog related scenario pictures on the board ( Guide dog with owner at a stop street, guide dog leading owner away from a pile of litter, the dog leading the owner up a flight of stairs, dog helping the owner locate an elevator, dog guiding owner away from someone running in their direction and a dog guiding the owner to the right bus stop) each learner will then get a chance to be blindfolded and point to a scenario on the board, the other learners will then describe the scenario to the blindfolded learner and then after the learner guesses the scenario we will discuss what could have went wrong in these situations if the dogs did not do what they did.
