Animal Science I

INTRODUCTION
Animal Science I is a yearlong course for a traditional seven period day schedule or for the
four-by-four semester block schedule. This course is designed for students in grades 9-12 in
North Carolina public secondary schools as the primary course for students enrolled in the
Animal Science component of the Agricultural Education Curriculum.
Animal Science I is designed to assist the student with a limited knowledge and background
in animal science develop a solid foundation from which they may further their animal science
studies. As such, Animal Science I introduces students to basic terminology that is used
throughout the animal science industry. Students learn to differentiate animals by breed, sex,
and use. Students also identify and describe the marketing of animal products.
Physiology, animal nutrition, and reproduction are major components in this curriculum
and give it a strong science emphasis. Students learn the science of profitable animal science
production. Evaluation of livestock and poultry are included as well. Evaluation of livestock
and poultry gives students the opportunity to apply the science of animal science production in a
very practical way.
Further, Animal Science I introduces students to the fundamentals of leadership and
management. Thus, students learn skills necessary for successful living and working in the
animal science industry and in society.
This guide has been developed to assist teachers in offering a focused, well-planned quality
program of study for the beginning animal science student.

USING THE CURRICULUM GUIDE

The curriculum guide is composed of several sections. The first section identifies several essential
elements common to all agricultural education courses and to Animal Science I specifically. Essential
elements of an agricultural education program include the topics necessary to help students apply the
skills learned in the class to life situations. The goal is to help students progress in their development
socially and mentally so that they might not only earn a living but also live to serve in their respective
locations.
The second section includes a course outline that identifies units and topics of instruction.
Competencies and objectives are included for each unit along with the curriculum resources needed for
each objective. At the end of this section is a reference list of the recommended text from which the
curriculum resources are extracted.
The third section of this guide includes the course blueprint. The blueprint identifies objectives
statements as either cognitive or performance and specifies the percentage of weight each statement has
in relation to the competency for which it was written. Competencies as well as units of instruction are
also identified by percentage of weight, which enables the teacher to develop a calendar as he or she
plans for their class.
The final section includes a tool and equipment list, which may be used as a guide to assist in the
implementation of the animal science curriculum. The list reflects materials needed if the program is to
be equipped at the optimum level. In addition to the tool and equipment list, this section includes
supplementary references and material that may be of use to assist the teacher in acquiring
knowledge to assist in their teaching experience.
