The document discusses the factors affecting soil formation that will be taught in a social science class. The key factors discussed are climate, topography, biological influences, parent rock, and time. Climate includes temperature, moisture, rainfall and wind which influence weathering and organic material production. Topography refers to the shape of the land, which impacts soil erosion. Biological influences include the decay of plants and animals. Parent rock is the original material soil forms from, containing minerals and organic materials. Long periods of time are required for weathering and transformation of rocks into soil.

1. PRELIMINARY DETAILS

LEARNING OUT COME
After studying the topic the student will be able to,
 Identify the factors influencing the soil formation
 Analyze how each factors affect the soil formation
 Compare the different factors affecting the soil formation.
 Evaluating which are the most important factors in soil formation.
CONTENT OVER VIEW
 Factors affecting soil formation
 Importance of each of the factors

2. CONTENT ANALYSIS
FACTS
 Climate is one of the most important factor in the formation of soil
 The thickness and structure of the soil depends on the time taken for its formation.
 Biological influence is one of the most important factors in the soil formation.
CONCEPT: Parent Rock, Topography
PRE-REQUISITES
The student has some idea about soil which studied in the previous class but no detailed knowledge about
the factors influencing the formation of soil.
TEACHING LEARNING AIDS
 Chart
INTRODUCTION
The teacher entered into the class and greeting the student and accepting the greeting from students and
took a friendly conversation between the students. They say something about previous class and ask that there
how the soil evolves? Then today we deal with the topic the factors affecting the soil formation.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON
CONTENT CLASS ROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE PUPILS RESPONSE
Climate, wind, plants,
time, animals are the
important factors
affecting soil formation.
There are different factors helps in the formation of the
sol. Each factor has its own importance in the formation of
soil. Soil is a natural resource and it is formed by the
prolonged process like weathering of rocks and decomposing
of organic matter. It need more than thousand years required
for the formation of a meter thick layer.
Then shows a chart regarding the soil formation, titled
Factors of soil formation (BB)

formation.

Climate affects soil formation which is the factors came
under the climate temperature, moisture, rainfall and wind
influence mineral material weathering and production of
organic materials. Soil formation is slow in cold environment.
Topography
Topography is the shape of the land including steepness
and features like mountain depression and flood plains. Do
you know which places the soil erosion highly? Yes, soil will be
thin along sleep slops. There will be more runoff from rain fall.
Biological influences is also influencing in soil in soil

plants and animals also caused to weathering. Any one of you
knows about which one of the category came under the plants
animals cause the weathering. The penetration of roots of the
plants also caused to soil formation.
Do you know what parent rock is? The minerals in the soil
and the structure of the soil depend on the rock form which it
is formed.. The primary rock is the material in which new soil
forms. Both minerals and organic materials in the parent rock.
Time
Do you know how the time will result and helping in the
soil formation. Yes.., the thickness and structure of soil
depends on the time taken for its formation. Organic materials
need time to decay and it gave fertility to the soil, it takes long
time to sediment to be transformed.

6. CONSOLIDATION
After teaching the topic teacher gave a brief summary once more for memorize the students. Then asking
questions to the students and clearing the doubts.
