Lesson Activities by Day

Date	Phase 1: Starter (7 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (16 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (5 mins) Reflection + exercise
Mon 06 Jul 2026	1Recall examples of plants and animals that live together in Ghanaian landforms 2Show a picture of a savanna or forest scene; learners name three plants and three animals they see and discuss where they live in Ghana	TYPES OF ASSOCIATIONS AND SURVIVAL IN LANDFORMS 1Display the Chart/diagram showing mutualism (bees and flowers), parasitism (tapeworm and animal host), and commensalism (remora fish and shark) using Ghanaian examples: termites farming fungus underground near Wa, ticks on cattle in Northern Region, oxpecker birds on buffalo in wildlife reserves. Learners copy definitions into exercise books 2Read aloud from the Textbook a scenario: Kofi observes ants protecting aphids on his mother's cassava plant in Kumasi. Ask: Is this mutualism or parasitism? Learners discuss in pairs, then one representative from each pair shares their answer; confirm it is mutualism (ants protect aphids, aphids give ants food) 3Use the Science kit/specimens (if available: preserved insect examples or diagrams of parasites and partners). Point to each and name the association type and survival advantage it gives each organism. Learners label diagrams in their exercise books showing who benefits and who is harmed	1Textbook 2Science kit/specimens 3Chart/diagram showing mutualism, parasitism, commensalism 4Exercise book	1Learners repeat chorally three times: mutualism helps both, parasitism harms one, commensalism helps one and does not harm the other 2Ask a volunteer to come to the board and draw a quick sketch of one plant-animal association they observed around their home or school; class identifies the type Exercise 1Name one association (mutualism, parasitism, or commensalism) you can find in a Ghanaian landform near you (farm, forest, river, savanna) and explain how each organism survives or benefits in their exercise books.
