• Create a good atmosphere where students feel free to ask, give opinions and create debates in order to share information.
• Learn biology concepts through real life contexts.
• Work individually and collaboratively, in pairs and in groups.
• Use a high range of diverse materials and be able to recognize and use reliable sources of information.
• Use LTK in classroom (Learning Technologies Knowledge) such as
PDA’s, mobile phones, computers and tablets.
• Carry out a high range of diverse activities (asking for diverse cognitive levels) to help you understand scientific information.
• Use an appropriate language and scientific vocabulary to explain
information to others (orally and in writing).
• To use a portfolio to organize the work.
• Take greater responsibility for learning by assessing own and peer's work (use of rubrics).
• To promote the creativity of students.

Selected text: meaning of the eggs’ code
EGGS CODE Have you ever seen that there is a code on the eggs that you buy? Do you know the meaning of it?
The European Union has defined an egg code that consists of
• a number indicating the method of production • a two letter code for the country of origin • a registration number indicating the hen laying establishment
The egg stamp is required in the EU on all class A eggs unless these are sold directly on the farm.
Let’s focus on the first number! The first number indicates the farmer’s method of production. It can be: 0 – Organic 1 – Free range 2 – Barn System 3 – Cage System Source: streetsandminds.wordpress.com

1. Recalling: what can you remember? (Cognitive level: Literal or explicit comprehension, identifying content)
Activity 1: Open your fridge at home and take a picture of your eggs. Draw the code
and answer:
How was the hen breed? What country is your egg from? What province was your egg laid in?
Activity 2: Answer the following questions about the video:
• Can hens in battery-cages do their normal behaviours?
• Why have many producers decided to convert battery-cages into cage-free system?
• Does battery-cage system affect only hens or do they also affect humans?
• What kind of microorganism is responsible for salmonella?
• If you eat battery-cage eggs, do you have more or less probability of being infected by salmonella?
• Do battery-cage eggs mean more or less pollution?
• Are the producers, food-manufacturers and restaurants doing anything about this?

2. Understanding: what do you understand? (Cognitive level: Reasoning, cause & effect, or implicit meaning)
Activity 3: Look at the next pictures and try to identify what number the eggs will
have:

Activity 4: Fill in this table with at least 2 advantages and disadvantages of each
kind of eggs. Think about the hens, the farmer and the consumers.
Advantages Disadvantages
0 - 1
2 - 3
3. Analysing: What do you think? (Cognitive level: Interpreting, evaluating, creating or developing critical thinking)
Activity 5: Let’s make people conscious about the eggs they eat! Work in pairs. Imagine that a big supermarket wants to give the consumers leaflets to make them conscious about the meaning of the egg code. Wake up your creativity and design a leaflet!

Activity 6: Two years ago I ate mayonnaise and hours later I felt very bad, with vomits and stomach ache. Look for information on the internet and fill in the chart: NAME OF ILLNESS: ……………………………………

Most supermarkets have the eggs outside a fridge, but most of us put them in the fridge when we arrive home. Once you have all this information, try to answer: Is it better to keep the eggs inside or outside a fridge? Justify your answer.

GRUP D’EXPERIMENTACIÓ PER AL PLURILINGÜISME

Students work in 6 groups of 3 students. Each group is given a card with different information about chicken reproduction. They have to read it, understand it and talk to each other to clarify the meaning of unknown words and sentences.
Then they make “expert” groups. They make 6 groups of 3 students: in each group there will be students with different cards. They have to explain to the others the meaning of the card. Then they have to build up a poster summarizing the information.
An A-C-E group join a B-D-F group, and exchange the information of the posters.
Six Things You Didn't Know About Chicken Reproduction

Extension
Only one gonad? • Usually males’ animals have 2
testes and females 2 ovaries.
• Hens only have one functional ovary (probably because it's
more practical for flight: they need to be light in order to fly).
• For most male birds, the right testis is smaller than the left. But not in roosters, probably because chickens are land-
dwelling birds.
No penis! • Roosters and hens don't have
external genitalia. Instead procreate using an external
orifice called a cloaca. Sperm is transferred into the female
reproductive tract but no penetration is involved.
• They also use their cloacae for defecation. But don't
worry: chicken eggs do not get covered with faeces on
their way out.
Two yolks =
twins? • Chicken "twins" occur when
the ovary releases two yolks at the same time and a single
shell forms around them.
• Once the chicks are ready to hatch they have a problem:
there is not enough space for both of them, so they fight each other. Usually, both
twins end up dying.

Brown or white? • Out of the 26 hours it takes
to make a chicken egg, 20 of those hours are required
to make the shell: so it's pretty important!
• Differing types of pigment give different colours. Egg colour is useful because it's is an expression of the bird's
fitness.
Eggs all year? • After a rooster inseminates
a hen, her eggs will be fertilized for up to four
weeks. This is because the sperm remains viable for about 30 days, stored in "sperm nests" along the
hen's oviduct.
• However, hens don't actually need roosters in
order to lay eggs. They only need light. Hens are
programmed to lay eggs in the spring and summer.
Farmers stimulate summer days in the farms all year
around.
Egg-laying machines! • A hen hits puberty only 18-24
weeks after hatching out of an egg herself. It only takes about 26 hours for a hen to make an
egg, and she can start producing another one 40-60 minutes later.
• Hens lay up to 300 eggs a year. Comparatively, turkeys are lazy:
lay less than 100 eggs a year.

Activity: Let’s inform about the eggs’code!
Your role:
GreenMarkt is a supermarket brand with stores all around Europe. They sell ecological and ethical food. They want to contract you in order to stand up in front of the eggs’ shelves informing the customers about the meaning of the eggs’ codes. They want you to tell the customers the advantages and disadvantages of each type of egg and suggest the customers to buy the 0 or 1 eggs. Your tasks: TASK 1 - You have to design a leaflet-triptych which you should give to the customers trying to persuade them about the advantages of 0-1 eggs. The triptych, according to GreenMarkt instructions, should include the next information:
• A picture of an egg with the information about the meaning of the numbers and the letters.
• An explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of the 0-1 and 2-3 eggs.
• An explanation of Salmonellosis and its relation
to eggs’ numbers. You should include: cause, source of infection, symptoms, prevention.
• A brief explanation about what a bacteria is.
• A picture showing the internal parts of an egg with the names.
You will work in groups of 3. Once you have designed your leaflet, be sure you have included all these items. Use the Checklist (auto-assessment).
Project: collaborative problem solving

TASK 2 – Once you’ve designed your leaflet and Greenmarkt has given positive feedback, it’s time for job!
• Think about possible questions (at least 5) customers could ask you when you explain them the information.
• Prepare a performance to practice before going to the store. Two of you will be the ones explaining the information of the triptych and the other will be the customer.
Your classmates, using a rubric, will assess this part of the task (peer-assessment), and they will decide whether you get the job or not.
