2. *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.
3. *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.
4. 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.

7. 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.

10. 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.
15. 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
