Set Induction:

The teacher starts the lesson by asking the students how the goods they use daily (such as food, clothes, and electronics) are made and how they reach consumers.

Entry Behaviour:

Students are familiar with buying goods and services but may not know the processes involved in producing them.

Learning Resources and Materials:

• Whiteboard/Chalkboard
• Markers/Chalk
• Flashcards with definitions of production types
• Diagrams of production processes

Building Background/Connection to Prior Knowledge:

Students are aware that products come from various places. This lesson will build on that knowledge by explaining how these products are produced and the types of production involved.

Embedded Core Skills:

• Critical thinking
• Communication
• Collaboration

Learning Materials:

• Lagos State Scheme of Work (JSS 1 Business Studies)
• Business Studies textbooks

Instructional Materials:

• Visual aids showing different types of production
• Diagrams explaining how production impacts society and the environment

Content:

1. Definition of Production:
   Production is the process of creating goods and services to satisfy human wants. It involves converting raw materials into finished products.
2. Types of Production:
   • Primary Production: This involves the extraction of raw materials from nature. Examples include mining, fishing, and farming.
   • Secondary Production: This involves the manufacturing and construction of goods. Raw materials are turned into finished products, like making clothes from cotton or cars from metal.
   • Tertiary Production: This involves providing services rather than goods. Examples include teaching, banking, and transportation.
3. Effects of Production on the Environment and Society:
   • Positive Effects:
     • Creation of jobs and employment opportunities.
     • Increase in goods and services that improve the standard of living.
     • Economic growth for communities and nations.
   • Negative Effects:
     • Pollution of the environment through the release of harmful waste.
     • Depletion of natural resources, such as forests and minerals.
     • Overcrowding in cities due to industrialization and urban migration.
