Here is the Jss2 Agricultural Science Scheme of work for that aligns with NERDC Federal Curriculum. Teachers should use this scheme of work to prepare qualitative lesson notes for all students.

First Term

Week	Topic	Objectives
1	Revision of JSS1 Work	– Recall key topics from JSS1 to build foundation for JSS2 work.
2	Meaning and Importance of Soil	– Define soil.- List components of soil.- Explain the importance of soil to agriculture.
3	Types and Properties of Soil	– Identify types of soil (sand, clay, loam).- Discuss physical properties of soil (texture, structure, porosity).
4	Soil Profile and Soil Formation	– Describe soil profile and its layers.- Explain how soil is formed (weathering processes).
5	Soil Erosion: Meaning and Causes	– Define soil erosion.- State natural and human causes of soil erosion.
6	Types and Effects of Soil Erosion	– Identify types: sheet, rill, gully, splash.- State the effects of soil erosion on farmland.
7	Control of Soil Erosion	– Explain soil erosion control methods: planting cover crops, contour ploughing, terracing.
8	Farming Systems: Meaning and Types	– Define farming system.- List and explain different farming systems (mixed, mono, shifting, pastoral).
9	Advantages and Disadvantages of Farming Systems	– Discuss merits and demerits of each system.
10	Agricultural Practices: Land Preparation	– Explain methods of land preparation (clearing, ploughing, harrowing, ridging).
11	Simple Farm Tools	– Identify farm tools (hoe, cutlass, rake).- State uses and maintenance practices.
12	Revision and Test	– Review all first-term topics through questions, classwork, and tests.
