Farm Animal QR Quest
Rawiri, Tane and Anahera are helping at a New Zealand farm that supports kiwi recovery. The farm has cows, sheep, chickens and a working dog. Read the fact cards and solve each quest. Use clues from the cards, not a device. Write answers in your own words.
COW: A cow is a mammal. It breathes air, gives birth to live calves and feeds them milk. Cows eat grass and need water and shelter. Some cows produce milk that people use as food.
SHEEP: A sheep is a mammal with wool. It eats grass and has a special stomach that helps it digest plants. Sheep need water, food and shelter. People shear sheep to collect wool.
CHICKEN: A chicken is a bird. It has feathers, wings and a beak, and lays eggs with shells. Chickens eat seeds, plants and small insects. They need fresh water and a safe place to roost.
WORKING DOG: A farm dog is a mammal. It has fur, breathes air and gives birth to live puppies. A trained working dog can help move sheep by responding to its handler’s signals. It needs food, water, exercise and care.
Quest 1: Spot the living things
Use the fact cards to investigate how farm animals are alike and different.
1.Which animal in the fact cards is a bird, rather than a mammal?
2.Which clue from the fact cards shows that a chicken is a bird?
- It has feathers and lays eggs with shells.
- It eats grass and has wool.
- It gives birth to live puppies.
- It helps move sheep.

Quest 2: Explain and compare

6.Name one way a cow and a sheep are alike, and one way they are different.
7.Anahera checks the animal-care list. Name two needs shared by all four animals.
8.Tane says, “A working dog helps sheep because it understands signals from its handler.” Which fact-card detail supports his idea?
9.Rawiri finds an animal with feathers, wings and a beak. Which animal on the farm is it most likely to be? Give one reason.
10.The farm supports kiwi recovery. Why might looking after farm animals responsibly matter to a recovery project that cares for native wildlife?
