Animal care<br />
What would you like for<br />
lunch? Do you think a<br />
rabbit would like to eat<br />
that? Do you think a<br />
parrot could eat your ice<br />
cream?<br />
Most animals would not<br />
like our food. They<br />
might eat it if they were<br />
hungry, but it is not<br />
always good for them.<br />
Nature needs to make<br />
sure that different<br />
animals like different<br />
kind of food, otherwise<br />
everyone would eat the<br />
same food and soon<br />
there would be none left.<br />
PPT showing different<br />
animals with unusual<br />
food kept in front of<br />
them to eat- a lion with<br />
an apple, a dog with a<br />
chocolate bar etc.<br />

answer drill on what's<br />

each.<br />
Discussion on different<br />
animals including<br />
humans. Everyone likes<br />
to live in locations that<br />
suit their needs followed<br />

parents need a home ?<br />
Ask the students about<br />
those animals, birds,<br />
insects which they<br />
generally find in their<br />
surroundings and the<br />
places they live in e.g. a<br />
spider - web, a dog -<br />
kennel etc. and<br />
familiarize them<br />
gradually with those<br />
creatures which they<br />
don't find in their<br />
immediate surroundings<br />
e.g. a lion - den, a rabbit<br />
- burrow etc.<br />
The students will be<br />
explained about:<br />
