Instructional Ideas

  • Invite an environmental enthusiast to speak to the class about plants, flowers, and weeds
  • Encourage learners to help their parents and guardians in the garden by pulling weeds 
  • Use page 11 as an assessment, assign the page and review answers to observe comprehension and reinforce the concepts

Classroom Considerations

  • The lesson is the third of four resources in a pest-management series created to inform learners of insects, weeds, and more 
  • Warn pupils to not use chemicals to remove weeds, instruct them to speak their parents or guardians about the best tactic and how to implement it safely

Pros

  • Includes real-world photographs of weeds, plants, and flowers 
  • Encourages class members to step outside and interact with nature 

Cons

  • None
