1. *objective *The environmental technological, economic and
social factors which influence the distribution of different types
and systems of farming *The factors which influence the patterns of
agricultural output and trade. *New agricultural techniques which
increase yields.
2. *Outcome *ALL: all students are able to make simple
identification as well as identify factors that influence the
patterns of agriculture. *MOST: students are able to work on skill
of interpretation. *SOME: students are able to develop a
sustainable plan.
3. What is Ploughing? Ploughing is when you dig the soil making
it loose. This brings the nutrients (all the goods things in soil)
to the top and pushes the bad things (like weeds and seeds and old
soil) to the bottom. Loosening the soil also means that water can
get to the seeds instead of running off the top.
4. What is Sowing? sowing is when the farmers put seeds in the
soil they have ploughed. The seeds are then covered with soil and
watered. The seeds are then left to grow. It needs three things to
help it grow; water, soil, sunlight.
5. What is Harvesting? Plants have matured when they are fully
grown and ready to eat. When the crop has matured its get collected
from the fields and this is harvesting. It then gets graded
(sorting the good crop from the bad) and packed ready for people to
buy and eat.

8. Old Farming Methods *Mostly small sized farms. *People and
animals are used to do a lot of the work. *Old farms have a small
yield (this means they produce less crops). *Old farms use less
technology so a lot more of their plants die. New Farming Methods
*Very large Farms. *Machines used to do the ploughing, planting and
harvesting. *New farms have a big yield (this means they produce a
lot of crops). *New farms use a lot of technology so the risk of
their crop failing is not as high
