Agric Science – SSS2

SSS2 Agriculture have been developed in such a way that they describe the intended learning outcomes and assessment practices for the Junior Secondary Phase within the science mainstream. The learning experiences and subsequent outcomes in the natural science subjects are tailored towards promoting the learners’ knowledge and understanding of the economic, social, physical and biological world of which they are a part. The Agriculture syllabi for Junior Secondary Education therefore integrate natural science, social, economic, physical, mathematical and technological learning areas of the broad curriculum.

SUMMARY OF LEARNING CONTENT
This syllabus consists of four main themes: General Agriculture, Plant Production, Animal Production and Farm Technology. However, the themes should not be seen as separate components and topics should be taught across all four themes. In addition, teachers should realize that there are certain aspects of the syllabus that should not be taught as separate entities and at fixed times during the school year. These include incidental topics and issues such as general knowledge, field trips, project work, investigations and observations and social events
