TEACHER’S ACTIVITY PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

A. PREPARATORY ACTIVITIES

 Opening Prayer
 Checking of Attendance
 Review of the Past Lesson

B. MOTIVATION

(The teacher will ask some questions)

(The teacher post a picture of a seed)

“Have you seen a seed?”

“Yes, ma’am!”

“What kind of seeds do you know?”

(Pupils will respond)

(The teacher will call one by one)

GOD BLESS! Page 1

 “What do you notice about those
seeds?”
“They differ in size and shape.”

ACTIVITY

“Now, I have here a short story and

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

(The teacher will present

“The Tiny Seed” by Eric Carle)

“Did you enjoy the story?”

“Yes, ma’am!”
“Are you ready to answer some
questions?”
(Pupils will respond)

Discussion Questions:

 Who is the main character in

the story?

“The Tiny Seed”

 What blows the seeds?

“Air!”

 Did the tiny seed fell on the

ground during autumn?
“No, ma’am”
 Why do you think the Tiny Seed
was the last one who grew?

(Pupils will respond)

ANALYSIS

(The teacher will ask few more questions)

 What approach would you use

 to help the tiny seed grow?
 What do you think is the purpose
of the flower losing its seeds?

ABSTRACTION

“Seeds have been an important development

in the reproduction and spread of flowering
plants,
Seeds, though too small, they have their
own parts, like an ordinary living thing.”

“Today, we are going to learn the different

parts of a SEED.”

“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 the process by

which plants, emerge from seed and
begin growth.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“I have here an illustration of a seed
during germination.”

(The teacher will post the illustration

on the board)
(The teacher will the illustration)

“These are the parts of a SEED

during germination.”

PARTS OF A SEED

 EMBRYO – a very young plant from

GOD BLESS! Page 3
 which a new plant grow under
proper conditions

 RADICLE – in a dicot is the

embryonic root.

“Can you point out where is the

radicle in the illustration?”
(A pupil will go in front and
point out Radicle in the
illustration.)
“Within the seed, there is usually a
store of nutrients for the seeding that
will grow from the EMBRYO. The seed has
its own food supply – called the EPICOTYL
and COTYLEDONS.”

 SEED COAT – develops from tissue,

originally surrounding the OVULE.
The seed coat helps protect the
embryo.

“So, where’s the seed coat in the

illustration?”

(A pupil will respond)

“Okay, thank you. So you see, the

SEED COAT is the outer part
of a seed.”
“Any other question?”
“None, ma’am!”
“Did you understand the lesson?”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Again, what is a very young plant from
which a new plant grow under proper
conditions?”
“AN EMBRYO”
“What about the embryonic root in
a dicot seed?”
“RADICLE!”

GOD BLESS! Page 4

 “What do you call the seeds own
food supply?”
“EPICOTYL AND
COTYLEDON”
“Very good!”

APPLICATION

Group Activity
