This cross curricular unit focuses on the Earth’s natural cycles and the way these cycles impact living things. Students will investigate how changes in the weather effect plants and animals on a farm, and explore the ways that food and fibre production is influenced by seasonal changes. Students will develop an understanding of the external features of sheep and the needs of plants and animals on a farm, and use science inquiry skills to pose questions, make observations and conduct guided investigations around seasonal changes in the world around them.
