The materials, the chicken coop, the hutch, and the fenced pen, will provide the students the opportunity to put into action their knowledge of animal science. The students will develop a plan for the location of the Mini Farm. They will build the structures and prepare them for the chickens and rabbits. Performing these tasks will not only enhance their knowledge of animal science but will also put into practical application many math skills. The project will involve utilizing existing incubators to hatch chicks that they will raise in the coops. They will be required to keep records. The bookkeeping will not only be required for expenses but for all phases of the project. They will be required to perform experiments on feed rations, etc. to provide for maximum growth and production. Since our school is a public PreKindergarten through 12th grade school, the students will not only enhance their own knowledge of animal science but that of others. They will teach other students about small animals and how to care for them. The Mini Farm will be open to all grades for tours and demonstrations. The chicks and chickens that are raised will be sold to pay for the expenses and any remaining will be donated to needy families. Donation of the Coops, Hutch, Pen, etc will provide the students with the opportunity to not only to increase and enhance their knowledge but will teach them responsibility through taking care of something other than themselves. The Mini Farm will provide educational opportunities for not only the students who are operating the farm and caring for the animals, but will aid in the continuing education of the dying but essential art of farming to all those students that attend the demonstrations and tours. This project is only the beginning!
