Component 1

ANIMAL PRODUCTION

Topic: Examine and list domestic animals in the community

Strand: CyclesSub-strand: ANIMAL PRODUCTION
Indicator: B7.2.4.1.1 Examine and list domestic animals in the communityContent Standard: B7.2.4.1 Demonstrate an understanding of the differences among domestic animals such as ruminants, monogastrics and poultry (monogastric herbivore)
Performance Indicator: Learners can identify domestic animals in the communityT.L.R.(s): Printed photographs of Ghanaian goats and chickens, Chicken feather, Eggshell
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Using questions and answers, find what learners already know about domestic animals. Have learners mention some animals in their homes.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Printed photographs of Ghanaian goats and chickens; Chicken feather; Eggshell. Learners observe and safely handle the specimens or apparatus, using them in the investigation or model below. Guide learners to identify different types of domestic animals in the community. Have learners match different domestic animals with their breeds. List and discuss the characteristics, such as shape, colour, size, food/ feeding and others, that can be used to classify domestic animals
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Indicator: B7.2.4.1.1 Examine and list domestic animals in the communityContent Standard: B7.2.4.1 Demonstrate an understanding of the differences among domestic animals such as ruminants, monogastrics and poultry (monogastric herbivore)
Performance Indicator: Learners can identify domestic animals in the communityT.L.R.(s): Printed Ghanaian goat and pig and chicken photo cards, Printed animal-product cards, Chicken feather and eggshell samples
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson. Using questions and answers, review learners understanding in the previous lesson.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Groups sort the Printed Ghanaian goat and pig and chicken photo cards into ruminant, monogastric and poultry categories and justify each placement. They inspect the Chicken feather and eggshell samples and connect them with poultry structure and by-products. Learners match the Printed animal-product cards to the three animals and classify uses as domestic or commercial. A comparison table records feeding, body covering, products and community value for goat, pig and chicken.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.
