Agricultural Science Scheme of Work for SS1 to SS3
Agricultural Science at SS1 builds the foundations: the meaning and importance of agriculture, land, soils, rocks, and farm tools and machinery. SS2 moves into farmstead planning, forestry, ornamental plants, crop diseases and pests, and livestock biology and management. SS3 condenses into one exam-focused term covering crop and animal improvement, aquaculture, apiculture, farm finance, marketing, insurance, and extension services. Below is the full scheme of work for all three levels, every term, so you always know exactly what comes next.
