Learning Resources:
- Spark Agriculture (pages 1-3)
- Pictures related to soil pollution
- Digital devices (tablets, laptops)
- School farm or surrounding farm
Organisation of Learning:
Introduction (5 minutes):
- Review the previous lesson on environmental conservation.
- Briefly present the key inquiry questions to focus the learners.
- Guide learners to read and discuss relevant content from the learning resources, emphasizing
understanding the key concepts of soil pollution.
Lesson Development (30 minutes):
Step 1: Defining Soil Pollution
- In pairs, learners define the term "soil pollution" using Spark Agriculture and the provided
pictures.
- Each pair shares their definitions with the class to build a comprehensive understanding.
Step 2: Identifying Causes
- Groups are formed to discuss different farming practices and their impact on soil quality.
- Learners identify specific causes of soil pollution such as chemical runoff, waste disposal, and
excessive use of pesticides.
- Groups share their findings, and the teacher creates a communal list on the board.
Step 3: Exploring Online Resources
- Learners use digital devices to search for short clips on soil pollution. They should focus on
identifying visual causes and effects presented in the videos.
- After watching, they note down new information or examples not previously discussed.
Step 4: Group Discussion
- Regroup and facilitate a discussion where students acknowledge and present the causes of soil
pollution they learned from both the clips and their discussions.
- Encourage them to connect their findings to real-life situations, such as the school or
surrounding farm.
Conclusion (5 minutes):
- Summarize key points about soil pollution and its causes discussed during the lesson.
- Engage learners in a brief interactive activity, such as a quiz or a "think-pair-share" session to
reinforce knowledge.
- Prepare learners for the next session by previewing upcoming topics, like solutions to soil
pollution or the impact on plant and animal life.
Extended Activities:
- Conduct a field trip to the school farm to observe soil conditions and identify potential sources
of pollution.
- Create a poster campaign to raise awareness about soil pollution, encouraging students to
think about practical solutions.
- Initiate a class project where learners monitor soil samples over time to document how
different practices affect soil quality.
