| Subject | Agricultural Science | Week | 10 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 2 |
| Strand | New Dawn in Agriculture | Sub-Strand | Emerging Technologies in Agriculture |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 2.1.2.LO.1 - Appraise and use emerging technologies in arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) enterprises. Learners improve networking skills by interacting with vegetable growers and ornamentists who use emerging technologies in their ventures (where available) 2.1.2.LO.2 - Distinguish between existing and emerging technologies used in arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) enterprises and their benefits. • Learners develop communication and innovation skills, creativity and critical thinking on how best to use soil, water and substrate to produce selected vegetables and ornamental plants. | ||
| Content Standard | 2.1.2.CS.2 - Demonstrate knowledge and skills in emerging technologies of arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) enterprises and their benefits relating to real life situation Grow arable crops (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) using emerging procedures and technologies | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 2.1.2.LI.3 - 56 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE Identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) easier. | ||
| Lesson Focus | 56 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE Identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) easier. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: 56 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE Identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) easier. 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 56 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE Identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) easier.? How is 56 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE Identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) easier. applied in Ghanaian farming, agribusiness or the local community? What factors would influence a farmer's decision when dealing with 56 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE Identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber crops) easier.? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Collaborative Learning Digital Learning Talk for Learning | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Relevant textbooks/reference materials Whiteboard/markers Learners' notebooks 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 56 | agricultural science identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber 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 56 | agricultural science identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber. | 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 56 | agricultural science identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber. | 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 56 | agricultural science identify other emerging technologies used to make growing arable crop (cereals, legumes, and tuber and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
