What does the pig need its snout for? Why are sheep sheared? Why don’t chicks hatch from store-bought eggs? These and similar questions about "Animals on the Farm" occupy elementary school children in both urban and rural areas. In science classes, students are encouraged to find solutions to such questions themselves, even if they often cannot experience the animals "live." This book provides teaching tips and worksheets for the most important farm animals that inspire students to engage in discovery-based learning. The templates include age-appropriate research assignments. This way, students learn to gather specific information on a particular topic and use it for their own benefit. Additionally, they practice using the internet and nonfiction books. Bring the farm into your classroom! The topics include: - The farm and its animals - The pig.
