Chicken Coop Programs

Sustainability connections to the Colorado Academic Standards

• To live and grow, animals obtain the food they need from plants or other animals, and plants need water and light.
• Please note that kindergarten students cannot handle chickens

Lessons

• Comparing similarities and differences
• Life Cycles from butterflies to chickens
• Down on the Farm

Sustainability connections to the Colorado Academic Standards

• Organisms have unique and diverse life cycles.
• Being part of a group helps animals obtain food, defend themselves and cope with changes.
• Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited information; the environment also affects the traits that an organism develops.
• Sometimes differences in characteristics between individuals of the same species provide advantages in survival and reproduction.

Sustainability connections to the Colorado Academic Standards

• Organisms and populations of organisms are dependent on their environmental interactions both with other living things and with nonliving factors.

Lessons

• Energy Flow in ECO Systems
• How Do Animals Obtain Energy

Sustainability connections to the Colorado Academic Standards

• All living things are made up of cells, which are the smallest unit that can be said to be alive.
• Organisms reproduce, either sexually or asexually, and transfer their genetic information to their offspring.

Sustainability connections to the Colorado Academic Standards

• Organisms use matter and energy to live and grow.
• Organisms interact with the living and nonliving components of the environment to obtain matter and energy.
• Matter and energy necessary for life are conserved as they move through ecosystems.
• Organisms interact in groups to benefit the species.
