| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 1 |
| Strand | New Dawn in Agriculture | Sub-Strand | Emerging Technologies in Agriculture |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.1.2.LO.1 - Identify emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant enterprises. • Learners improve networking skills by interacting with vegetable growers and ornamentists who use emerging technologies in their ventures (where available). 1.1.2.LO.2 - Compare and contrast existing and emerging technologies used in vegetable crop and ornamental plant enterprises and their benefits. • Learners develop communication, creativity and critical thinking skills on how best to use soil, water and substrate to produce selected vegetables and ornamental plants. | ||
| Content Standard | 1.1.2.CS.1 - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant enterprises. Explain the use of selected emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant enterprises | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.1.2.LI.2 - Appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production. | ||
| Lesson Focus | Appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: Appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What does the evidence or practical situation show us about Appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production.? How is Appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production. applied in Ghanaian farming, agribusiness or the local community? What factors would influence a farmer's decision when dealing with Appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production.? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Project-Based Learning | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | understanding critical thinking and reasoning Resources Relevant textbooks Laptop computer Project Wi-FI and information from the internet Video documentaries on the technologies mentioned Pictures of emerging technologies used in vegetable crop and ornamental plant enterprises Farm Technicians or Guides Plant/seed/soil samples where available | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide labelled pictures, short notes, concrete samples or a simplified observation guide for learners who need additional support. Give advanced learners an extension requiring comparison, evaluation, enterprise implications or application to a different agricultural setting. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability and mixed-gender grouping consistent with the curriculum, assigning meaningful roles such as observer, recorder, presenter or materials lead. Where a field visit or specialised resource is unavailable, use the closest curriculum-supported alternative such as pictures, video, local resource persons, samples or a simulated demonstration. | ||
| Product | Allow evidence of learning through field notes, practical demonstration, oral presentation, poster/table, written report or project record as appropriate to the indicator. Assess accuracy of agricultural knowledge, quality of evidence, correct procedure, collaboration and ability to justify conclusions. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Present a diagram, specimen, data set or everyday situation connected to appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production and ask learners what they observe. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Use a labelled diagram, model, experiment, data table or safe demonstration to explain appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production. | Observe carefully, record key terms and answer oral questions. | Ask learners to identify the key feature, variable, process or relationship. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide groups to observe, classify, measure, compare or explain evidence related to appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production. | Work in groups to complete the observation, classification, measurement or explanation task. | Review group responses for accurate science vocabulary and evidence. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a new case, data set or observation and ask learners to predict or explain the outcome. | Apply the concept to the new case and support the answer with evidence. | Use an exit task that asks for a prediction, explanation or calculation. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise appraise emerging technologies in vegetable crop and ornamental plant production and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
