How animals and creatures help plants grow

Pollination: Bring samples of honeycomb, jar of honey, fresh flowers for children to touch and taste, bee farmer to explain smoking. Show segments of a video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=obfXY8dT840
The anatomy of a honey bee
Body parts of the bee and their functions. An insect with antennae, mandible, eyes, head, thorax, abdomen, wings, 6 legs with pollen baskets on the hind legs, sting.

Technology
Animals that give us food (meat, dairy, eggs)
IBL activity: how is milk processed into a variety of diary products. Supply samples of yoghurt, milk, cream, butter (Dairy Kids, n.d.)
Products from animals: pig - pork, bacon, cows - meat, dairy products, chickens - meat and eggs, sheep - meat
Shelters for farm animals
IBL activity: build a map of a farm showing the different shelters for farm animals using recycled material and the technology design approach
Where do animals find shelter on a farm? Cow - shed , horse - stable , sheep - pen , chicken coop, duck - pond , goat - barn (Canary the school, 2021)
Social Science
Animals that work for us
Jobs people do with animals : vets, police, farmers, trainers rehabilitation, conservation game ranger.
IBL activity: what jobs are there for people who want to work with animals and what do they do? dress up as a person who works with animals and explain to the class what you do with a poster
Animals that give us clothes
Clothes through the ages: Initially based on availability (e.g. hide and skin of animals, animal fur, or plant fibres or bark fibres), the need (protection from sun or mosquitoes, or warmth, or to show status).Gradually cotton and wool was introduced from Europe. Later synthetic fibres entered the market (McDowell, C. 2000)
IBL activity: why were animal skins used for clothing in the past? Compare the materials/fabrics used to make modern clothing, with materials used to make clothing in the past.
