To make the point, he uses Nicola Hicks's Maquette Head for Crouching Minotaur, a bust of the bull - human hybrid, and Louise Bourgeois's sculpture, Nature Study, which amalgamates human and
animal body parts into a confusing, headless whole.
For nearly a century,
animal agribusiness has forced farm
animals into factory - like conditions, subjecting them to unspeakable cruelties: confining them in cages so small they can barely move, overcrowding them in massive warehouses, cutting off
parts of their
bodies without painkillers and more.
One likely reason for this is that
animals undergo cellular differentiation; human life begins as a single cell that differentiates
into the various cell types needed for different organs,
body parts, blood, the immune system, etc..
Year 6 Science Assessments and Tracking Objectives covered: Describe how living things are classified
into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and
animals Give reasons for classifying plants and
animals based on specific characteristics Identify and name the main
parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood Recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their
bodies function Describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within
animals, including humans Recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents Identify how
animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution Recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light
into the eye Explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them Associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on / off position of switches Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram
