Week #5 Activities – 4-H Animal Science

May 9, 2020

Welcome to our fifth week!  This week, we want to learn from you!

You have from now until the end of Friday, May 15 to complete as many of these activities as you like.  They are all optional, but you will earn up to 5 points for your club for each activity you complete.  At the end of our seven weeks, the five top-scoring clubs will earn $200.  We will also award up to 10 prizes of $100 to clubs scoring just outside of the top five.  Good luck and enjoy learning and sharing about your project animals!


Online Resource Idea #1

SHARE: We want to hear from you!  Share an online resource (activity, how-to video, interactive lesson, educational game, virtual tour, webinar, etc.) related to your animal project that you have found especially helpful – or one that you just discovered that you really like.  It should be something that we haven’t already used over the past four weeks.  If we also like it, it might be featured in our final two weeks.  Complete this Activity.


Online Resource Idea #2

SHARE: Do you have more than one online resource to share?  If so, you may enter it here.  Complete this Activity.


Club Activity Idea #1

SHARE: I’m sure you do great activities in your club that help you learn about animals.  Which of your club’s activities (demonstration, clinic, team challenge, field trip, guest speaker, etc.) do you think is the most interesting?  Share something that you think other clubs would also want to do.  If we think it’s a great idea, we might feature it in a future blog post.  Complete this Activity.


Club Activity Idea #2

SHARE: Do you have more than one club activity to share?  If so, you may enter it here. Complete this Activity.


4-H Animal Science Film Festival

WATCH: We just created a website with all of the entries in this year’s animal science video contest.  View all of the videos (about 3 minutes each) and then share three things that you learned about animals from your fellow 4-H members.  Complete this Activity.

A Project of New Jersey 4-H Youth Development

New Jersey 4-H provides educational outreach programming for youth in grades K-13 (one year out of high school) through 4-H clubs, special interest programs, school enrichment, afterschool programs, and overnight camping.

Regardless of the subject matter – whether it be science, healthy living or citizenship, 4-H uses a learn-by-doing approach to help youth learn responsibility, community awareness and character development.

New Jersey 4-H Youth Development is a department of the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
