Learners call out answers	CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE TYPES USING RESEARCH CHART 1Display the Chart/diagram showing four waste types: organic (food, leaves), plastic (bags, bottles), metal (tins, wires), and paper (books, boxes). Learners copy the chart heading and the four categories into their Exercise books 2Call out examples: Ama's banana peel, Kofi's empty water sachet, Yakubu's discarded tin can, Sena's old newspaper. Learners write each example under the correct waste type category in their books 3Using the Science kit/specimens, show actual samples of each waste type (food scraps in container, plastic wrapper, metal scrap, torn paper). Ask: Which category does this belong to? Learners raise hands to answer and explain why	1Chart/diagram 2Science kit/specimens 3Exercise book 4Textbook	1Learners stand and form four circles, one for each waste type. Call out an example waste item; the correct circle sits down first 2Ask one representative from each circle to name one place in their community where that waste type is dumped most (e.g. plastic at Makola Market, food waste at chop bars) Exercise 1Look around your classroom right now. Name two pieces of waste you see and write which type each one is (organic, plastic, metal, or paper) in their exercise books.
Tue 30 Jun 2026	1Recall the names of different Ghanaian landforms and the plants and animals found in each 2Show learners a Chart/diagram displaying four Ghanaian landforms (Kwahu Plateau, Volta Plain, Akwapim Mountains, and Vea Valley) and ask: Which plants or animals have you seen in each place?	MATCHING PLANTS AND ANIMALS TO GHANAIAN LANDFORMS 1Using the Textbook and Science kit/specimens, display images or actual specimens of four organisms: elephant grass (plain), mountain banana (mountain), baobab tree (plateau), and water lettuce (valley) — ask learners to name each and say which landform it comes from 2Write on the board: 'Kwahu Plateau — baobab, grass snake \| Volta Plain — elephant grass, guinea fowl \| Akwapim Mountains — mountain banana, forest antelope \| Vea Valley — water lettuce, crocodile.' Learners copy into Exercise book and circle one animal and one plant per landform 3Pairs compare their Exercise book entries and correct any mistakes together using the board list as a key	1Textbook 2Science kit/specimens 3Chart/diagram showing Ghanaian landforms 4Exercise book	1Ask a volunteer to stand and name one plant that lives on the Kwahu Plateau and describe one feature that helps it survive there (e.g. baobab stores water in its trunk) 2Learners give thumbs up if they can name at least two plants and two animals from different Ghanaian landforms Exercise 1In your Exercise book, write: Name one animal and one plant found in a mountain landform in Ghana, and write one sentence describing how each is suited to live there
