Even though they are raised by humans to produce food, farm animals also supply us with a wide range of products that we use every day. In this activity, students will realize that their dependence on farm animals goes beyond food and that, all day long and without knowing it, they use by-products derived from animal husbandry.

IIIInstructionsnstructionsnstructionsnstructions 1. Ask your students why humans raise farm animals. Explain that we use more than the meat,

milk and eggs produced on the farm: every part of an animal is recycled and used to make another product. BBBByyyy----pppproductsroductsroductsroducts of animal husbandry are all the products other than those for which the animal was raised. For example, on a farm where poultry is raised for eggs, the eggs are the product, while the poultry meat and feathers are by-products.

Ask several questions about animal by-products and allow your students to reflect on the how many of these by-products there are in their everyday lives. You can use the Appendix, “Farm Animal By-Products”, as a guide. Inform the students about the important role that animals play in medical research and in the development of vaccines, cosmetics, accessories and hygiene products. More than 350 pharmaceutical products are based on animal by-products.

2. Hide a few animal items made from animal by-product objects in the classroom (for example, toothpaste, leather gloves). See the Appendix for more examples.

3. Have the students work in pairs to find items made from farm animal by-products in the classroom and on their classmates.

4. Set a time limit. When the time is up, compare answers.

5. As a reward, the class could have a snack that contains an animal by-product, such as gummy bears, marshmallows, or vegetables and dip (the gelatin found in candy and dips is an animal by-product).

HYDROPONIC GARDENHYDROPONIC GARDENHYDROPONIC GARDENHYDROPONIC GARDEN

Soil is important to plants. It provides them with support and contains water, nutrients and minerals needed for healthy growth. Did you know that there are ways to grow plants without soil? “Hydroponics” means that by using a hydroponic system, you can make water do the job of delivering nutrients to the plants.

PurposePurposePurposePurpose To demonstrate that water can deliver the nutrients essential to plants.

MaterialsMaterialsMaterialsMaterials

• 1 clean two-litre plastic pop bottle (with label removed)

• Masking tape

• Felt or cotton strip (an old clean rag will work) approximately 25 cm long and 2.5 cm wide

• ½ cup styrofoam packing “peanuts”

• Water-soluble plant fertilizer (anything from a commercial powdered fertilizer such as “Miracle-Gro” to a hydroponic liquid fertilizer)

• Water

• Plant seeds (Large seeds such as beans and peas are easier for the students to observe; smaller seeds such as radish and lettuce seeds will germinate more quickly.)

InstruInstruInstruInstructionsctionsctionsctions 1. Cut top off bottle approximately 10 cm down.

HYDROPONIC GARDEN HYDROPONIC GARDEN HYDROPONIC GARDEN HYDROPONIC GARDEN ⋅⋅⋅⋅ PAGE 2 PAGE 2 PAGE 2 PAGE 2

2. Flip the top upside down and place into the bottom so that it fits snugly. Tape into place. 3. Soak the fabric strip (the “wick”) and then thread it down through the inverted bottle neck, with

a section remaining at the top.

4. Combine the fertilizer with water, following the instructions on the package for the correct

amount. Remember that it is better to have too little fertilizer than too much. Pour the water and fertilizer solution through the bottle neck until the bottom section is almost full (approximately 2 or 3 cups will do).

5. In the wet wick above the bottle neck, nestle the seeds. 6. Fill the upper portion of the bottle with the styrofoam “peanuts”.

7. Place the bottle in a sunny place and wait. Be sure the wick does not dry out before the seeds

have germinated.

HYDROPONIC GARDEN HYDROPONIC GARDEN HYDROPONIC GARDEN HYDROPONIC GARDEN ⋅⋅⋅⋅ PAGE 3 PAGE 3 PAGE 3 PAGE 3

The styrofoam “peanuts” provide a structure for the roots to grow in, but do not provide any nutrients. The plant absorbs the water and nutrients essential to its survival from the bottom section through the wick.

Record KeepingRecord KeepingRecord KeepingRecord Keeping 1. Students must keep a daily log of their activities and observations. Each day, distribute a

copy of the “Experiment Log” activity sheet to students.

2. Students can create their own experiments by having several hydroponic bottles with different temperatures, light levels, and fertilizers.

LEAFY EXPERIMENTLEAFY EXPERIMENTLEAFY EXPERIMENTLEAFY EXPERIMENT

Plants need four different things to grow: sunlight, soil, air, and water. In this experiment, students will observe the effect of sunlight on plants.

PurposePurposePurposePurpose To study the effect light has on the development and growth of plants. To understand that leaves play a vital role in photosynthesis.

InstructionsInstructionsInstructionsInstructions 1. Take three plants of the same age and kind (beans started in a container on the windowsill

work well). Try to ensure that they have roughly the same number of leaves.

2. Label the first plant “control”. This plant will be the one that tells you how the plants would normally have grown.

3. Label the second plant “50%”, and then pluck off 50% (half) of the leaves.

4. Label the third plant “100%”, and then pluck off all the leaves, leaving the bare stalk and any flowers.

5. Discuss with your students the role of plants in the food chain. Explain that plants are producers. They belong to the first link of the food chain because they produce their own food. Ask the class to explain how plants make their own food. Review with them what occurs during photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, leaves capture the sun's energy (solar energy) and carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use the solar energy to transform water (which they absorb through their roots) and carbon dioxide into glucose (a kind of sugar), while releasing oxygen into the air.

Explain to the students that this is how plants make their food, a sugar called glucose. Plants use this food to build their different parts such as leaves, roots, flowers and tubers. These plant parts are then used as food by other organisms. Without plants to transform solar energy into chemical energy (sugar), there would be no food for us and other consumer and decomposer organisms.

6. Have students fill out the hypothesis chart and predict what will happen to the three plants.

7. Keep all three plants together in a sunny place so that they all get the same amount of light.

LEAFY EXPERIMENT LEAFY EXPERIMENT LEAFY EXPERIMENT LEAFY EXPERIMENT ⋅⋅⋅⋅ PAGE 2 PAGE 2 PAGE 2 PAGE 2

8. Give the three plants same amount of water (it is best to keep the soil moist but not wet).

9. Keep records of what happens. Which plant is growing the best and fastest? Has anything happened to the body of the plants? If you have a digital camera, you can take pictures of the three plants from the same vantage point every day, keeping track of the passage of time by writing the date on a nearby chalkboard or piece of paper. You should see a difference among the three plants in two weeks.

10. Have students compare what they thought would happen to what actually happened.

11. Have students discuss why the control plant did better than the two other ones.

Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an answer to a question. Since we do not know what the

actual answer will be, we make a guess and predict the answer. We

answer the question as best we can with the knowledge we have at the

time. We then conduct research or an experiment to check whether

our hypothesis is correct.

Predict the results of the experiment on the effect of removing the

leaves of a plant. Answer the following questions.

FUNGI EXPERIMENT FUNGI EXPERIMENT FUNGI EXPERIMENT FUNGI EXPERIMENT

Mushrooms are neither animals (like chickens, dogs, elephants, and humans), nor plants (like tomatoes, lettuce, trees, and grass). They are a whole different kind of life-form called fungifungifungifungi. While some fungi are delicious mushrooms, most should not be eaten by people. There are microscopic fungi spores in the air all the time, but it is only when they find some dead material that they can grow.

A spore is a reproductive structure similar to a seed. It can survive for extended periods of time in unfavourable conditions. Compared to a seed, it has little stored food resources.

Mushrooms, yeasts and moulds belong to the fungi kingdom.

PurposePurposePurposePurpose To demonstrate that there are fungi spores in the air.


• Empty clean glass jar with a lid

• Food samples (Vegetables, fruits, bread, crackers or cheese work well; do not use meat.)

• Water

InstructionsInstructionsInstructionsInstructions Place several samples of different foods in the jar. Do not use meat.

1. Sprinkle a few teaspoons of water into the jar so that everything is moist.

2. Close the lid tightly. Leave it in a place where it won’t be disturbed, and is out of direct sunlight.

3. Make and record observations for two weeks. What colour were the fungi that grew? How many different kinds of fungi were there? How did the food change as the fungi grew?

4. Afterwards, have an adult dispose of the materials and clean the jars thoroughly with bleach.

PIZZA POLLPIZZA POLLPIZZA POLLPIZZA POLL

Imagine you are going to start your very own pizza parlour. To be successful, you

must be sure you are supplying the kinds of pizza that people want to eat. You need

to take a poll. To “take a poll” is to ask people questions.

How to take a poll

1. You can ask any person only once.

2. Ask people what their favourite kind of pizza is. If they have two or three

favourite kinds of pizza, ask them to choose just one favourite.

3. Make a checkmark or mark a line in the appropriate box.

4. Ask at least 20 different people. The more people you ask, the more valuable

your information will be.

5. On the poll sheet, write down six common kinds of pizza you can think of. In

the last row, write “Other”, so that you can keep track of any other kinds of

pizza.

Create a chart or graph

Present your information as either a bar graph, a pie chart (or should we say, a

“pizza pie” chart), or a pictograph.

Create your own pizza artwork while observing the interesting structures and shapes in everyday vegetables.


• Light coloured construction paper or brown craft paper

• A variety of colours of paint (Acrylic paint works best.)

• A selection of firm vegetables that do not lose their shape when sliced (such as mushrooms, peppers, onions, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes)

• Paint brushes

• Newspaper or protective paper for the table (during painting)

InstructionsInstructionsInstructionsInstructions 1. Lay newspaper over work area.

2. Either pre-cut or have the students cut a large circular pizza “crust” from the construction paper or craft paper (30 cm diameter works well) .

3. Slice the vegetables.

4. Students take a sliced vegetable and carefully paint a thin layer of paint onto its surface. Avoid big “globs” of paint, which will distort the stamp.

5. Have the students practice on the newspaper or scrap paper a few times.

6. Stamp the circular “crust” two or three times with several different vegetables, painted different colours, to create an artistic “pizza”.

2. Bring the milk to a boil on medium-high heat. Watch for bubbles, which mean that the milk is starting to boil.

3. Once the milk boils, remove the pan from the burner and mix in the lemon juice using the wooden spoon until you see solid curds separating from the liquid whey. Let the curds and whey cool for a few minutes.

4. Meanwhile, line a colander with cheesecloth and place the colander over a bowl. Pour the milk into the colander. The curds should collect in the cheesecloth.

5. Tie the four corners of the cheesecloth together into a knot and hang to drain for an hour or two.

6. Time to eat! Spread your cheese on crackers and enjoy.

The curds are the milk protein (casein) and solids clumped together. The whey is what is left over. You will notice that the cheese has an extremely mild flavor, because of the absence of bacteria and mould (two factors that create the many different kinds of cheese). The lemon juice is an acid, which increases the acidity of the milk, thus causing the casein to bind together.
