Two successful methods that I have used to teach the process of artificial insemination

1. Field trips to animal production centres (Beausejour Agricultural Station) where artificial insemination takes place. On the field trip the students will get a chance to observe live demonstrations of artificial insemination. They might even get a chance to participate.

2. Computer aided lessons: use videos to help teach the topic. 

Show students a complete video of artificial insemination and ask them to take brief notes of the scenes that are of interest or the scenes that are important. After, engage the students in a discussion on the topic. Later ask students to summarize the process of artificial insemination by listing all the steps that should be followed. Invite a few students to present their summaries to the rest of the class. Then clear up all misconceptions the students may have had from viewing the video.
