Program Description

As they visit the barns, students smell, touch, observe and listen to farm animals, up close and personal! Each animal—whether rabbit, chicken, honeybee, salmon or cow—has its own characteristics and needs. Students explore the animals’ environments, and learn about their lifecycles, and why we raise them. Students also have a chance to handle some farming tools.

Consult this Educational Activity Kit for ideas to extend the learning — and the fun!
