Central Idea: Living things on a farm depend on interconnected systems of resources, care, and responsibility.
Key Concepts: Connection • Function • Responsibility • Causation
Related Concepts: Interdependence • Sustainability • Growth • Resource Use
Age Group: PYP 3 (8–9 years)
Duration: Full-Day Farm Experience
Venue: Bhagya Lakshmi Farm
Learning Approach: Inquiry-driven • Systems-based • Experiential • Reflective
Includes: Pre Tour, On Tour and Post Tour Activities
“Living Systems on the Land” transforms Bhagya Lakshmi Farm into a live systems laboratory for PYP 3 learners.
Students investigate how animals, crops, soil, water, energy, and humans are interconnected within a working farm ecosystem. The focus shifts from identifying basic needs toward analysing cause-and-effect relationships, sustainability practices, and responsible resource use.
Learners gather field evidence, ask structured inquiry questions, examine interdependence, and propose simple improvements that support long-term sustainability.
Research: Observation, evidence recording, classification
Thinking: Cause-and-effect reasoning, systems connections, comparison
Communication: Structured explanation, vocabulary development, reflection
Social: Collaborative task roles, respectful engagement
Self-Management: Safety awareness, independent documentation
Creative Thinking: Sustainable design, model construction
