Lesson materials for Secondary Schools

Following on from its successful distribution of the Teacher’s Resource Kit, the Poultry CRC has produced downloadable versions of much of the content of the Teacher’s Folder. The worksheets listed below complement the materials provided in the kit and can be used with the kit or on their own. (Primary School Worksheets available here)

These sheets are available for any teaching professional to freely download and use in their classroom. If you have developed some worksheets or lesson plans that can be used to teach children about Poultry in schools, and would like to share them with other teachers, then we’d love to hear from you. Contact Education Officer, Liz Roan, if you would like to list your materials on our website so that they can be accessed by other schools.

If you have a good internet connection you can you can download the complete set of worksheets in one PDF by clicking here (3.2MB). (Note that to foil those internet-savvy students, this file does not contain the answers to the worksheets.)  If you would like the full PDF with answers included, just email us at Poultry Hub from your Department of Education or other school email, telling us what school you are currently teaching in, and we will email it to you.

Alternatively, individual worksheets can be downloaded separately, and are listed below, grouped by topic.
