Central Idea: Agricultural systems depend on responsible resource management, energy transformation, and interdependent relationships.
Key Concepts: Causation • Connection • Responsibility • Change
Related Concepts: Sustainability • Interdependence • Resource Allocation • Renewable Energy • Impact
Age Group: PYP 4 (9–10 years)
Duration: Full-Day Farm Experience
Venue: Bhagya Lakshmi Farm
Learning Approach: Inquiry-driven • Analytical • Evidence-based • Systems-focused
Includes: Pre Tour, On Tour and Post Tour Activities
“Sustainable Systems in Action” positions Bhagya Lakshmi Farm as a functioning model of resource flow and energy transformation.
PYP 4 learners investigate how soil, water, crops, animals, waste, and human decision-making interact within a structured agricultural system. Students analyse cause-and-effect relationships, evaluate sustainability practices such as composting and biogas production, and assess how responsible management strengthens system resilience.
The inquiry deepens beyond “how farms work” toward evaluating efficiency, environmental impact, and long-term viability.
Research: Systematic observation, evidence categorisation, process documentation
Thinking: Cause-and-effect reasoning, systems analysis, evaluation of sustainability
Communication: Structured explanation, justified conclusions, academic vocabulary use
Social: Collaborative role distribution, discussion protocols
Self-Management: Independent note-taking, safety awareness, time regulation
Creative Thinking: Sustainable redesign proposals, model construction
