#### Activity 1: Understanding Agriculture (20 minutes)
1. **Discussion**:
- Explain the basics of agriculture: “Agriculture means growing plants and taking care of animals for food and other products.”

With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there..."
```
#### Transition (5 minutes):
1. Collect finished coloring pages and ask students to share what they colored.
2. Transition to the next activity by asking students: “Now that we know about the food we grow and eat, let's learn about our own bodies!”
#### Activity 2: The Human Body (20 minutes)
1. **Discussion**:
