Biosecurity A Shared Responsibility

This year, as a class  we decided to do our animation topic on  Biosecurity and Horticulture.


 Biosecurity is a topic that many primary students don't really understand or know much about the topic.




We brainstormed ideas and reasearched information about Biosecurity in Horticulture..


We completed a What I already Know and  What I want to learn chart to give us ideas for what we needed to include.


                       



Biosecurity


"Procedures or measures designed to protect the population against harmful biological or biochemical substances."


In Australia, Biosecurity has played a critical role in reducing risks and shaping our nation to become one of the few countries in the world to remain free from the world’s most severe pests and diseases.

Farm Biosecurity




Farm biosecurity is a set of measures designed to protect farms from the spread and entry of pests and diseases. It is everyone's responsibility to make sure that it doesn’t happen.                              


        


Effects of no biosecurity


If you enter a farm when you’ve been overseas without washing and changing clothes you can bring new things from the country you went to and spread it onto the farm. Farm animals are very different to us. If they get exposed to new bacteria and diseases it is life threatening for them.


So remember when going to a farm
                                                                 Won’t kill animals


                                                                 Always stay clean


                                                                 Smell nice


                                                                 Horticulture is safe


                                          
 







Our plan was to show that Biosecurity is something that we all need to follow to ensure the safety of our crops and  our livestock. We  have made an animation about Biosecurity and Horticulture,.


Our script








Our characters for the animation was an easy choice Potato Heads. We had some fun coming up with characters.











Our backdrop would be set on a farm with the all of the poato heads as characters.




 We used the programs photoshop and  imove to make our animation.
