Watch the video to see extra classroom challenges you can try at home and at school!

  • To understand how people use science in their jobs
  • To pose questions based on observations

Use this recording as a way to review your class’s participation in the session if you were able to join in the live Q&A or to see what questions other schools asked of our hen expert Jess Spencer. This video could be used as a provocation to write questions and interview a local animal expert from your community or remotely. Further exploration could be encouraged with the following discussion questions:

  • What kinds of people work with animals?
  • How are these jobs different or similar?
  • Who do we know that works with animals?
  • What do people that work with animals need to know?
  • What would I like to ask someone that works with animals?
