Animals and creatures that help us.
Natural science
CAPS : Animals that give us food and/or clothes
Animals roles in providing products
class activity
Exploring animal products, observing sample products from animals, through senses and guessing what animal it came from.
concept
Animals contribute to human survival (food, pollination, soil health, clothing)
research
Animals play a vital role in our survival by providing essential resources and maintaining ecological balance. For instance, cows supply us with milk, chickens provide eggs, and bees produce honey. Beyond these direct products, animals contribute to the environment in ways that support human life. (International Fund for Animal Welfare, 2025)
CAPS: Animals that give us food and/or clothes
insects and soil health for our food growth
class activity
observe earthworms and ants (captured and in a glass jar in soil), for learners to investigate insect in their habitat
concept
Why are insects important to soil health
Social science
CAPS: Animals that work for us
Working animals that helps people (e.g., guide dogs, police horses, sniffer dogs).
concept
What would happen if we didn't have these working animals?
Class activity
Invite a community helper with their animal, to your school. afterward, discuss "how these animals help people in their work".
CAPS: Animals that work for us
Caring for animals that help us
concept
Learning environmental responsibilities and conservation
class activity
Match different picture cards together, based on the way that you can help care for your helping animals.
(It may be daily duties, healthy checks, or even planting flowers for the bees. e.g. match a picture of a dog with an adult feeding it)
research
compare these needs to the needs of another animal (Primary Connections, 2025)
Technology
CAPS: Animals that give us food and/or clothes
Design shelters to help these types of animals
class activity
Identify a problem these animals could face with regard to their shelters. Ask them to design a safe home for animals, using recycled materials.
concept
Shelter types and problems they could face.
CAPS: Animals that give us food and/or clothes
how can we solve some problems that threaten these animals
concept
Helping animals helps humans too, because we get food, wool, and honey from them.
class activity
Present learners with simple story cards describing a problem for each animal, encourage them to think of practical solutions and draw or explain them. (e.g. cow - no fresh grass to ear or bee- no flowers)
According to Primary Connections (2025), young learners benefit from activities where they investigate and problem-solve real-life scenarios involving animals (Primary Connections, 2025).
