2. Introduce the definition of agriculture: the science, art, and business of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock.
3. Show students pictures or read picture books about farming and agriculture to help them visualize the concept.
4. Discuss the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. Ask students to think about the food they eat and where it comes from.

7. Engage students in a hands-on activity. Provide each student with a small potted plant or seeds and guide them in planting and caring for their own plant. This will help them understand the process of growing crops.
8. After the plants have grown, have a class discussion about the experience. Ask students what they learned from taking care of their plants.
9. Conclude the lesson by reviewing the key points about agriculture and its importance.
Assessment:
To assess students' understanding, ask them to draw a picture of their favorite agricultural product and write a sentence about it. This will demonstrate their ability to identify different types of agricultural products and express their understanding.
