Course: Animal Science: Livestock Behavior and Handling

In this unit exploration, kids will explore how animals move, react, and communicate—and how we can work with them safely and respectfully. They will meet a real-life animal behavior expert, learn how livestock respond to people and their environment, and apply that knowledge to solve problems using the Engineering Design Process. Whether they’re new to livestock handling or already have experience on the farm, this unit will give them the tools to better understand animal behavior and apply smart, safe design thinking to real-world situations. WHAT THEY'LL LEARN Throughout this unit, they’ll explore four exciting chapters, each one building your knowledge and giving them hands-on opportunities to think like both an animal handler and a problem-solver.
