Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.1.2.LI.2 - Discuss the interdependence of Agriculture and industry.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Explain the meaning of interdependence and describe the two-way relationship between Agriculture and industry.
Identify specific agricultural raw materials that are supplied to industries and the industrial outputs (tools, inputs, processed goods) that Agriculture depends on.
Use examples from their own community, such as a farm and a corn mill or a tomato farm and a tomato paste factory, to demonstrate how Agriculture and industry depend on each other.
Construct a simple flow chart or table showing the movement of goods and services between Agriculture and industry.
Present and justify their findings on the interdependence of Agriculture and industry in a group discussion or portfolio.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Project-based learning: Put learners in mixed-gender/mixed-ability groups (where appropriate) to investigate the interdependence between Agriculture and industry in their community. Teacher should assist learners with leading questions to help them
establish the interdependency between Agriculture and industry in their community. Teacher should challenge learners with the ability to give further examples of the interdependency between Agriculture and industry.
Experiential learning: In mixed-ability/mixed-gender groups (where applicable), learners watch a video, pictures or embark on a field trip to a farm and an Agro-Based Industry such as corn mill. Learners identify how the farm and the Agro-Based Industry depend on each other and build a portfolio. All learners should be involved in the portfolio building. Talented learners should be encouraged to assist those with difficulties.
