III. LESSON PROPER

A. REVIEW
The teacher shows a picture of a butterfly and its life cycle

(The teacher will ask questions about each stages of the life cycle of a butterfly.)

B. MAIN LESSON

a. MOTIVATION

TREE PIC

SAMPLES OF SEEDS

A. GUAVA
B. MUNGO
C. MANGO

1. How do trees grow? Plant a seed

 2. Lets take a look at these. sample seeds
3. Do you think seeds are important? Yes..it is where trees originate
4. Look around you, are trees important? Yes
5. Since seeds are important lets try to appreciate how seed survive so that we can have
the trees around us.

VIEWING ACTIVITY

Guide questions:
1. What happened to the seeds in the video?
2. Why do you think the Tiny seed was the last one which grew?
3. What has blown the seeds?
4. Did they fell on the ground during autumn?

The teacher will play “The Tiny Seed” by Eric Carle via video presentation.

Teacher: Some seeds grow and some do not. Seeds grow because of its parts that
help seeds live.

Discussion on parts of a seed

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.

  Cotyledons – serve for the digestion and storage of food.

 ENDOSPERM – is the food-storage tissue which is digested and absorbed by the

cotyledons.

“Cotyledons serve for digestion while Endosperm is the food-storage which is

digested and absorbed by the Cotyledons.”

 SEED COAT – it helps protect the embryo.

“A seed only develops its parts only when it undergoes a process called SEED
GERMINATION.”

(The teacher will post the definition of GERMINATION)

“GERMINATION is a process by which a plant grows from a seed.”

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.”

(The teacher will show a short video clip to see how a seed develops 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.

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.”

With proper nutrients you will be able to grow your plant well.”

VALUE

“Who among you had bald hair during their infancy? Or when you were still a baby?”

IV. EVALUATION

Group the pupils into 3 groups. Give each group their designated work materials.

Ask the pupils of the rules in doing a group activity.

Ask them the importance of cooperation in doing group activity.
The teacher will give instruction of what they are going to do.

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?
