Hygienic sanitation management, horticultural grafting methods, and domestic solar food dehydration steer Grade 9 Agriculture and Nutrition in Term 3, organising 29 practical sessions across 9 pages, with classroom practicals correlating with Healthy Planet Agriculture Grade 9 pages 61 through 120.
- Sanitation Facility Maintenance: categorising school refuse pits, demonstrating disinfection protocols for domestic waste bins, and safely disposing solid waste across weeks 1 and 2.
- Horticultural Grafting Skills: selecting compatible scions and rootstocks, cutting precise whip-and-tongue joints, securing graft unions with wax tape, and nurturing saplings in weeks 3 to 5.
- Solar Food Dehydration: building wooden frame sun dryers with mesh trays and plastic glazing, drying leafy vegetables, and preventing post-harvest spoilage during weeks 6 and 7.
- Farm Tech Promotion and Testing: presenting food preservation prototypes to the wider school community, recording drying efficiency data, and completing end-of-term evaluations in week 8.
Hands-on orchard budding trials and solar drying projects provide practical agricultural entrepreneurship competence before final marks are recorded.
