III. METHODOLOGY

Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

Dear Lord, Help us to be good, help us to do
A. REVIEW the things we should. Bless my teacher, my
classmates and all. Amen
Class can you still remember our lesson
yesterday? Good morning Teacher! Good morning
classmate
Now, to test if you really remember. I have
something to show you. I have here pictures I
want you to identify what is this and its stages.

Do you understand? Yes Teacher.

(The teacher shows a picture of the life cycle
of a butterfly)

Yes Teacher.

(The teacher will ask each stages of the life

cycle.)

“So what life cycle is that?”

“Life cycle of a butterfly ma’am”

“Very Good!”
B. MOTIVATION

“Okay class, Have you seen a seed?” “What

kind of seeds do you know? Can you give me
examples?” Yes Teacher!

(The teacher will call one by one to give

examples)

1. (The teacher will post a picture of a (Pupils will respond)

seed)
“Here are some examples of seeds.”

“What do you notice about those seeds?”

“Yes. Very Good!”

C. LESSON PROPER

(Pupils will respond)

ACTIVITY

“Now, I have here a short story and I want

you to listen carefully and you will answer few
questions later.”

(The teacher will present “The Tiny Seed” by

Eric Carle via video presentation)

“Did you enjoy the story?”

“Are you ready to answer some questions?”

Yes, teacher!
Discussion Questions:

-Who is the main character in the story?

“Yes, ma’am”

-What blows the seeds?

-Did they fell on the ground during autumn?

“The Tiny Seed”

-Why do you think Tiny seed is the last one

who grew?
“Air!”

“Do you have any idea what our lesson will “No, ma’am”
be?”

“Yes! Very good.” (Pupils will respond)

“Today, we are going to learn the different

parts of a SEED.”

“Here’s a drawing of a seed. You are going to

identify what are its parts as we discuss our
lesson.”

PARTS OF A SEED

• EMBRYO/RADICLE – is a part of a
seed that grows into a new plant.

Hypocotyl – its lower end, forms the

first root of the seedling.

Epicotyl – its upper end, becomes the

first stem.

“About SEED ma’am”

As you can see the HYPOCOTYL begins to
grow.
The hypocotyl grows longer, it begins to
straighten out.
The growing hypocotyl pulls the
COTYLEDONS and EPICOTYL out of the
soil.
Eventually epicotyls develop into the shoot
and the leaves of a seedling.”
“So that’s it. With proper nutrients you will be
able to grow your plant well.”
“A seed only develops its parts only when it
undergoes a process called SEED
GERMINATION.”
(The teacher will post the definition of
GERMINATION)
(She will let the pupils read it loud)
“GERMINATION is a process by which a plant
grows from a seed.”
“There are several factors that influence
germination. First is the seed it should be
carefully chosen to make sure it is
germinating. Then the soil and temperature
must be favorable.”
“I have here short video clip for you to see how
a seed develops into a plant. A mung bean in
particular. I want you to observe very carefully
how a seed turns into a plant.”
(The teacher will play the video and do the
discussion while the video is playing”
“Before germination the seed begins to absorb
water. Without water seed cannot germinate.
Then the embryo begins to grow.”
“The radicle or embryonic roots come out first.
IV. EVALUATION
Instructions:
Group Activity
I have here examples of seeds in its germination in each jar. Identify which part of the
seed has already formed in it. Arrange it according to the stages. Write your answers on a sheet
of paper. Choose one representative to discuss what stage of the seed is in the jar. Each stage
should have one representative.

V. ASSIGNMENT
“Answer the following in your notebook.”

1. List down the factors that affect seed germination and growth.
2. Where a flowering does plants start?
3. How does the seed grow into a plant?
