Note to Pupils:
What are Grain Crops?
Grain crops are special kinds of plants that grow seeds we can eat. These seeds are very tiny, and we use them to make food like rice, wheat, and maize. So, when we talk about grain crops, we mean plants that give us tiny seeds we can cook and eat.
Examples of Grain Crops
1. Rice
2. Wheat
3. Maize
4. Barley
5. Oaths
Evaluation:
- What are grain crops?
- Can you name two examples of grain crops?
- Explain how grain crops are different from vegetable crops.
Note to Teachers:
Customize the lesson content, teaching methods, and pupil activities to suit your teaching style, curriculum, and available resources. Make the lesson engaging by using real examples of grain crops if possible.
