situation. They may present this paper in class.

Problems/ Situations that may be given to the student:

The farmer cannot afford to purchase fertilizers for his farm. He wants to improve

the production of wheat in his farm. The soil is low on nutrients.

The farmer has noticed that inspite of using the best fertilizers and irrigation

methods on his farm, the yield is still low.

The cattle on the farm are not healthy and the milk yield is very low.

The farmer has spent a lot of money on installation of artificial beehives on the farm.

But the yield of honey is becoming less over the years.

The poultry birds on the farm are not healthy. The mortality rate of the birds is high.

The farmer visited a friend in New Zealand. He found that the exotic varieties of

cattle were giving a good yield of milk. He was impressed and decided to import

these animals to his country. However, the animals did not continue to thrive in his

country. Infact they frequently fell ill and some of them died.

1. A question bank of about 50 questions may be prepared. Each question is written on a

chit or a small card (discarded visiting cards may be used). A snake and a ladder with

hundred steps may be drawn on the board. The snake and the ladder may be drawn on a

smaller board and fixed on the board in the classroom.

group into the mouth of the snake and reaches its tail. The next correct answer brings back

the group to the base of the ladder.

6. The group that reaches the top of the ladder first , wins.

7. The scores on the ladder are indicated by the board pins with coloured heads or coloured

bindies or coloured stickers.
