hi everybody welcome to animal science
0:02
on any given day we have various dogs in
0:05
here
0:06
come here puppies this is puppy week
0:08
this week so we have two cute puppies
0:10
here today
0:12
um but we have a variety of dogs here
0:14
that people bring from the public and
0:15
also other teachers bring their dogs
0:17
here
0:18
these are some of the topics of study
0:20
that we study in here
0:22
we start off the year with orientation
0:24
obviously to make sure everybody's here
0:26
to learn for the right reasons and treat
0:28
everybody
0:29
respectful we start out with a unit in
0:32
anatomy and physiology that's kind of a
0:34
cool unit
0:34
one of the topics we study is cow
0:37
digestion
0:38
which is really interesting they have
0:41
four compartments to their stomach so
0:44
and we also build a clay
0:46
model of the cow digestive system and we
0:49
usually try to get a calf in here as
0:51
well so that we can study them
0:53
come here guys chris if you could kind
0:55
of keep them quiet a little bit
0:57
all right then um we do a unit on rabies
1:00
because that's a very important disease
1:02
that people can get and die from
1:04
we do a unit on horses in october before
1:08
the weather gets bad and the horses
1:09
actually come to our back property here
1:12
and i also encourage i've had students
1:14
in the past bring in their miniature
1:15
horses or their horses as well
1:18
we do a unit on animal behavior
1:20
adaptations and classification
1:22
and along with that we have the utica
1:24
zoo mobile come in sometimes to talk
1:26
about some of the different
1:27
animals that they bring in we do a unit
1:30
on handling and restraint
1:31
so that when it comes time to groom
1:33
animals the students know how to hold
1:35
them
1:36
for their nails or something like that
1:38
also putting
1:39
leashes on dogs in class and taking them
1:42
out as part of handling and restraint
1:44
we do a unit on pet first aid
1:47
terminology a lot of the
1:48
medical terminology that you hear on
1:50
these medical shows crosses over into
1:52
the veterinary world
1:53
and very important unit diseases that we
1:55
can get from animals
1:57
okay and we do a unit on dogs and cats
2:00
and animal rights and animal welfare and
2:03
we fit all of this into one year animal
2:05
science is a one year program
2:07

2:09
junior and you want to continue on on
2:11
