At the moment these resources are available as different areas of agriculture for you to use in conjunction with your existing lessons - we have given some broad curriculum links for each page. There pages showing various farming operations such as milking, harvesting wheat, peas or potatoes. The further processing of harvested products is also shown in some case such as freezing peas for example.

2.3 Behaviour

Behaviour Home Page

Secondary Framework in Science, 2.3 Behaviour

Behaviour is a new aspect of science at Key Stages 3 and 4 and progression through this sub strand develops a capacity to recognise different theories and types of behaviour and to consider how behaviour plays a part in the survival of an organism. Consideration is given to how natural and artificial substances can influence both innate and learned behaviour.

Year 7 Behaviour

 

 

1. Can you teach your grandparents computer games?
Behaviour Entry Point
  • describe simple learned and innate behaviours in response to internal and external stimuli and how these aid survival.

    • describe some simple behaviours displayed by organisms in response to their external environment, e.g.

      • innate examples to include movement of a sunflower to sunlight, dilating of the pupil in response to light, chicks following the first thing they see, suckling response

      • learned responses to include salivation to smells, answering a door bell when it rings, child saying ‘I want’ when the television (TV) ad comes on, gender choice of toys and clothes
