Careers With Animals – Production (PowerPoint)
“Careers with Animals: Production” is the second of six FFA lesson plans exploring agricultural careers, focused on production-based animal careers. Through a bell ringer, vocabulary review, a species research/brochure activity, a video, and a PowerPoint, students research the various species within animal production (beef, dairy, poultry, sheep, goats, swine, and equine) and identify the knowledge and skills needed in production careers with animals. The resource includes student worksheets, a brochure rubric, and answer keys.
