Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Learners watch pictures and videos on human activities that pollute the atmosphere. - Teacher explains to learners that "atmosphere" refers to the air around us. - Tell stories or talk about scenarios that pollute the atmosphere i.e. burning of waste and bush, exhaust fumes from moving cars etc. - Introduce a simple game or activity to help learners understand how the atmosphere gets polluted., e.g. smoke from mosquito coils, burning of pieces of paper (Note: this activity must be done outside the classroom) and ask learners to tell where the smoke goes. - Evaluate learners by asking them to talk about other activities that pollute the atmosphere. NB: Teacher should not discuss things about climate doom that will scare the learners.
