ANIMAL AND SOIL SCIENCE NURSERY 2 

THIRD TERM LESSON NOTE

LESSON 1: MEET THE WHALE

 

This is a continuation of the lesson on aquatic mammals. Whales are the largest animal on earth and they live in every ocean.

Whales are amazing creatures that live their entire life in water. Whales have the shape of fish but they are not fish; they are in the class of aquatic or marine mammals just like dolphins. They give birth to life babies, they feed their young ones with breast milk and they have a little bit of hair on their body.  Whales travel alone or in groups known as pods each year. Most whales are quite active; diving deep or slapping the water with their fins.

 They jump high with most of their bodies leaving the water and landing on their backs. 

The blue whale is the biggest of all types of whale. One blue whale has the weight of 24 elephants put together. The tongue alone of a blue whale can weigh as much as one elephant and an entire football team could stand on it.

                                                            Whales live in ocean all through their life Whales look like fish but they are not fish

LESSON 2: SOIL EROSION

EXPLANATION:

When something erodes, it means it wears away. Soil erosion is when dirt or soil wears or washes away, exposing the ground underneath.

Soil Erosion is the gradual removal and transportation of the top soil by natural processes. It is when natural forces like wind, water, ice or gravity wear away the top soil.

Soil erosion is very troubling for farmers because it strips away the fertile top soil that plants like to grow in.

PROMPTING QUESTION:        What is soil erosion?

RESPONSE:                                    Soil erosion is when the top soil is washed away by water, wind or ice taking away some nutrients from the soil.

LESSON 3: CAUSES OF SOIL EROSION

There are three main causes of soil erosion. These are rain, wind and ice.

RAIN: If there is heavy rain, the water gathers on the ground and starts to flow. As it flows, it carries the soil on the top with it. The flowing water has a lot of power and so it is the leading cause of soil erosion.

WIND: when wind is blowing, it picks up soil and blows it away.

ICE:  Just like flowing water, flowing ice also carries particles from the top soil and deposit in another location.

PROMPTING QUESTION:          What are the things that cause soil erosion?

RESPONSE:                                    The things that cause soil erosion are:

Water, wind and Ice.

As water flows on the ground, it washes away the top soil.

As wind blows, it carries away some part of the top soil

Flowing ice also washes away the top soil.

 

 

LESSON 4: DEFINITION OF A FARM

Farmers are the people that provide the food we eat. The work farmers do is called farming. Farming  is a very important occupation because everybody needs food. 

PROMPTING QUESTION:        What is a farm?

RESPONSE:                                    A farm is a piece of land that is used for growing

crops or raising animals.

LESSON 5: FARMERS AND FARMING

PROMPTING QUESTION;           who is a farmer?

RESPONSE:                                      farmers are the people who grow crops and

raise animals. Farmers are the people that provide all the food we eat in the world.

LESSON 6:  FARM TOOLS/ EQUIPMENT

Farm tools or equipment are any kind of machinery that is used on the farm to make farming easier and faster.

Farm tools improve what people get from the farm by helping planting and harvesting. Those tools help farmers to plant, grow and harvest more and healthy crops. They also help farmers to reduce the effort they put in their farming activities. 

PROMPTING QUESTION:         What are farm tools?

RESPONSE:                                    Farm tools are those machines that farmers use

to make their work easier and faster. Farm tools help farmers to grow and harvest more crops.
