Poultry: Exploring Animal Science Bundle

Build a strong foundation in poultry science through hands-on lessons that connect breeds, anatomy, nutrition, and egg production.

The Poultry: Exploring Animal Science Bundle introduces learners ages 9–13 to chickens and turkeys and their vital roles in agriculture. Designed around the Explore → Apply → Connect framework, this bundle helps kids build understanding step by step—first discovering the history of poultry, terminology, facts, and breeds, then exploring their purpose, external anatomy, and nutrition, and finally how they connect to our food systems through egg and meat production.

Through guided lessons, colorful flashcards, and printable activities, learners explore the similarities and differences between chickens and turkeys, discover how nutrition supports egg and meat production, and learn about the science behind eggs. Each activity encourages observation, reasoning, and hands-on discovery—perfect for home learning, 4-H projects, or agriculture classrooms.
