Basic 2 Science Term 1 Week 9 Lesson Plan

Review learners understanding in the previous lesson using questions and answers Engage learners to play games and sing songs to begin the lesson.

Lead learners through poems, rhymes, games and discussions to introduce another cyclic event – wet and dry seasons. The dry season is a period of low rainfall Learners discuss what they like and don’t like about the dry season. Some advantages of dry season are; - It helps our foods to stay longer without getting spoilt even if it’s not refrigerated or warmed - It aids in drying our clothes minutes after washing them etc. Have learners to talk about what they like and dislike about the wet season. The wet season is also called rainy season. This is the time of the year when most of a region’s annual rainfall occurs Some importance of wet season are; Air quality improves, fresh water quality improves, and vegetation grows substantially, leading to crop yields late in the season, etc. assess learners by asking them to draw and make posters on the dry and wet seasons and color some human activities that take place during these times. Lead learners to think critically to identify problems related to wet or dry seasons and how such problems can be solved, e.g. how do people get water during dry season? How do people dry their clothes during wet season? What can be done to solve the problem of school compounds getting muddy during the wet season? For this activity, learners use printed photographs of Ghana’s wet and dry seasons, dried maize cobs and fresh green leaves and drawing sheets and crayons to compare signs and effects of the two seasons and draw local activities associated with each one.
