Hi, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 2 Pre-vocational Studies, focusing on Agricultural Science. In our previous lesson, we learned about Uses of Vegetable Crops. Today, we’re going to learn about Grain Crops.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Define grain crops.
- List 2 examples of grain crops.
- Differentiate between vegetable crops and grain crops.
Grain Crops
What are Grain Crops?
Grain crops are plants that produce edible seeds. These seeds are small and are used to make various foods. Some examples of grain crops include rice, wheat, and maize.
Examples of Grain Crops
There are many different types of grain crops, and some of them include:
- Rice
- Wheat
- Maize
- Barley
- Oats
- Rye
- Sorghum
- Millet
Differentiating Grain Crops and Vegetable Crops
Grain crops are different from vegetable crops. While grain crops are grown for their edible seeds, vegetable crops are grown for other edible parts, such as leaves, roots, or stems. For example, lettuce is a vegetable crop because we eat its leaves, while rice is a grain crop because we eat its seeds.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about grain crops, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What are grain crops?
- Can you name two examples of grain crops?
- Explain how grain crops are different from vegetable crops.
- What are some other examples of grain crops? 5. Why are grain crops important to us?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about grain crops, which are plants that produce edible seeds. We also learned about some examples of grain crops and how they differ from vegetable crops. Remember, grain crops are an important part of our diet and provide us with essential nutrients. Keep exploring and learning about the fascinating world of agriculture! See you in the next lesson!
