| Strand | Agriculture and Climate | Sub-Strand | Climate Change Adaptation |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.4.2.LO.1 - Explain the adaption of society and agriculture to climate change. Leadership, digital literacy, collaboration and communication skills will be acquired and enhanced as learners surf the internet and present findings and brief written reports. GESI: Tolerance among mixed-ability groups, Respect for others' opinions irrespective of culture, religion or proficiency level. | ||
| Content Standard | 1.4.2.CS.1 - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.4.2.LI.1 - 1.4.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture. | ||
| Lesson Focus | 1.4.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: 1.4.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture. 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 1.4.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture.? How is 1.4.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture. applied in Ghanaian farming, agribusiness or the local community? What factors would influence a farmer's decision when dealing with 1.4.2.CS.1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of climate change and its relevance to sustainable rural agriculture.? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Talk for Learning Collaborative Learning Activity-Based Learning | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | 48 | AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE understanding reasoning thinking and reasoning Resources Video documentaries and pictures on indigenous strategies for dealing with climate change in agriculture Computer Smartphone Projector Notebooks Video documentaries and pictures on conventional strategies for mitigating climate change in agriculture | ||
| 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 climate change adaptation 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 climate change adaptation. | 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 climate change adaptation. | 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 climate change adaptation and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
