Scenario/SummaryApril had grown up on a farm her entire life and had the opportunity to see the birth of many baby animals.
“Mom, Missy gave birth last night to a baby calf. Did Dad tell you”, asked April?
“He sure did” Mom replied. “Your cousin Kelly is going to be surprised to see the little calf when she gets here this afternoon for her visit. How fortunate for her to be able to see the newborn.”
“Kelly, here is the baby calf that was born last night” April said as she directed Kelly to the stall.
“She is so cute” said Kelly as she climbed up on the top of the stall to get a better look. “I wish I had been here to see her born. I’ve never had the opportunity and wish I could see what happens as a new life is born.”
“Last week in class we were talking about the characteristics of life and I remember that one of those characteristics was movement. The little calf is having some trouble with her wobbly legs but I know she’ll get the hang of it soon” Kelly continued.
“Hey, we were talking about the same thing” said April. “One of the characteristics that interested me was this idea of homeostasis. Life is so complicated. I can’t wait to learn more in my Anatomy and Physiology course.”
