Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources

PHASE 1: STARTER Review the previous lesson with learners through questions and
answers.

Share learning indicators and introduce the lesson.

PHASE 2: NEW Drill learners on the correct pronunciation and meaning of key Pictures of plants an
LEARNING terms. Pictures and videos
Weather: Weather describes the condition of the atmosphere over a short depicting
period of time. It describes the state of the atmosphere for example the degree greenhouse
to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy.
Climate: Climate is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular location effect d animals
over a long period of time. It is the long-term summation of the atmospheric depicting how they
elements and their variations. survive
Climate change: The term climate change refers to significant changes in
average weather patterns (i.e. precipitation, temperature, wind and other
indicators) that persist within a climate system, caused directly or indirectly by
human activities.

In groups, let learners discuss the effects of climate change on the

Environment.
1. Direct physical harm on humans
2. Crop failure and farmland loss
3. Sea level rises and coastal submersion
4. Freshwater loss and desertification

Brainstorm learners for the meaning of greenhouse effect.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface.
The major greenhouse gases are
i. water vapor (H2O)
ii. carbon dioxide (CO2)
iii. methane (CH4)
iv. chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)
v. Hydrogenated chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
vi. Tropospheric ozone (O3)
vii. Dinitrogen oxide (N2O).
 Have learners research on the meaning of green economy.
Green economy is one whose growth of income and jobs is driven by
investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance efficiency and
sustain biodiversity and ecosystem service.

Guide learners to discuss the advantages of green economy.

1. Green economy potentially works towards decreasing environmental pollution,
and thus improves the quality of soil, water and air and also protects
environmental well-being.
2. Global warming, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, desertification, resource
depletion can gradually be obstructed by implementing green economy which
will automatically save the earth and its animals from destruction as far as
possible.
3. Economic growth is also enhanced due to the establishment of new markets
for biofuels and renewable energy resources.
4. Establishment of new markets have potential to support international
advantages when these new markets will invite funds through exports and also
increase domestic sales.
5. Agricultural industries will be able to achieve a dignified place due to the
emphasis on green technologies.
PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from
REFLECTION learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.

Sustainable Energy: Energy is sustainable if it meets the need of greenhouse
the present without compromising the ability of the future effect
generation to meet their own needs.

Guide learners to identify sustainable energy choices as; solar

energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy and ocean
energy.
1. Solar Energy: Solar energy is derived by capturing radiant energy from the
sun and convert it into electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) systems can convert direct
sunlight into electricity through the use of solar cells.
Benefits: One of the benefits of solar energy is that sunlight is always available.
It improves public health and environmental conditions because there no release
of greenhouse gases in the environment.
2. Wind Energy: Wind farms capture the energy of the wind by using turbines
and converting it into electricity.
Benefits: Wind energy is clean energy source which means that it does not
pollute the air like other forms of energy.
3. Geothermal Energy: Geothermal energy allows us to fetch energy from
beneath the earth.
4. Ocean Energy: The waves or tides of the ocean have great power which can
tapped can generate a lot of energy to power millions of homes.
5. Biomass Energy: Bioenergy is a renewable energy derived from biomass.
Biomass is organic matter that comes from living plants and organisms.
6. Hydroelectric Power: There are the rivers or waterfalls whose energy of the
moving water when captured that can turn turbines to generate power.

In groups, let learners discuss the need for Sustainable Energy.

1.Sustainable energy fights against climate change.
2. Renewable energy will never deplete or run out.
 3. Sustainable energy does not harm the environment and can help improve
public health.
4. Renewable energy resources emit little or no greenhouse gases, which is
better for the environment and our health.
5. Sustainable energy can reduce or eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels.

Guide learners to discuss the Impact of sustainable energy choices

on the environment.
