B. Review of the Past Lesson

(SEED GERMINATION)

Now class, who can remember our lesson yesterday?

- Very good ?
- It is about Seed Germination. - Seed
- Then how can we identify the seed viability of our seed? Germinati
- Very good ? o n Ma’am.
- To identify the seed viability we are going to solve seed
germination.
- I have here sample problem, who can solve? - By solving
- Mr. Cruz wants to determine the viability of the tomato seeds the seed
received from Mr. Albarico, he saw 50 seeds using the 50- hole seed germinatio
tray. After a week, he found out that only 40 seeds germinated. n Ma’am.
What is the percentage germination of the tomato seed tested?
- Excellent ! You solved it correctly.
- You perform very well class this signifies that you understand and
review our previous lesson. - Leah
show the
solution.
C. MOTIVATION
 - Everybody please look at the different pictures
- Observe carefully, give me one-word description of the
picture. - SOIL
- Nice Ma’am.
- Hmmnn Yes SOIL?
- Another one ? - PLANTING
- Yes maybe? Ma’am.
- One more ?
- Yes Mixing.
- Very good. MIXING
- So today class, we are going to discuss and perform the Ma’am.
Growing Media Mixing.

2. Activity
- As I have said, we are going to do a growing media mixing.
- Before that, what is Growing Media?
- (Give the growing media definition and other information - Okay
about it.) Ma’a
- What are the components of Growing media? m.
- Garden Soil, Compost, Rice Hull/Saw Dust, Coconut Coir, and
Sand.
- And always consider that in mixing Growing Media you have the
1:1:1 ratio.
- Okay class, same groupings, you will perform the growing media
mixing with the use of the available components we have here.
Get it class? - Yes Ma’am
- In doing any agricultural activity, always remember to wear PPE
or the Personal Protective Equipment.
- Did you bring your gloves?
- Very good.
- (The teacher start to mix and introduce the components of - Yes Ma’am
Growing Media).
3. Analysis
- What id growing media again? ? -The materials that
- Very Good. plants grow in and
it support the plants
growth.

- Then, why we need to consider growing media mixing in -To have

planting?. Yes ? successful plant
- Excellent . growth and might
able to produce
high yield.
4. Abstraction
 - What proportion we should consider in gathering growing
media? Yes ? - 1:1:1
- Very good! It is 1:1:1.
- Can we make growing media without Soil?. ?
- Off course we could.
- In absence of rice hull what could we use instead? - Yes Ma’am.
- ?
- Yes very good! We could use saw dust.
- We could also use other components aside from what we have here
now, like humus instead of vermi cast or other farm manure instead - Saw
of soil. Dust
Ma’am.
5. Application
- Shall we start mixing our growing media?
- Before that, let us know first the proper procedure in
gathering and preparation of each growing media; Please read. - Yes Ma’am.

- Select and gather proper growing media component.

- Prepare the growing media components according to

established procedures and manual.

- Mix growing media components according to desired

proportions and established procedures. - Read the
Procedur
e

- Yes Ma’am.
- Get it class?
- Students
- Let’s start. We have here: perform
the
1. Garden Soil Activity.
2. Vermi Cast
3. Rice Hull -
4. Coconut Coir
5. Sand

- You may now start your growing media mixing and consider our
rubrics. I will give you five minutes to do it.
- (Teacher discuss her observation in the activity based on the
Rubrics)

6. Generalization:

- With the components we used let us identify each and its

function.

- Garden Soil – probably loam type to hold the water needed by

the plant and avoid soil erosion.
(The students
- Compost (Vermi Cast) – it might also be humus listen and
cooperate with the
- Rice Hull – it may also be carbonated to avoid damage later teacher)
brought by the heat along the process of decomposition.

- Coconut Coir- it will help with high water holding capacity

- Sand – it helps neutralized and avoid the soil to compact

- What are the importance of the Growing Media?

- High Yield
- Successful Planting
- Holds Water needed by the Plant
- Sustainability of growth. - None Ma’am

- And always consider the 1:1:1 proportion

- I have here picture taken at the University of Southern
Mindanao. They used the sand as the growing media
component like we had mix a while ago.
- Now class any question?
- Since none. We’ll have a short quiz.

7. Evaluation

- Kindly get ¼ sheet of paper and answer the question of the following items within five
minutes.
- 1-5 Enumerate the components of growing media.
- Time is up. Exchange your paper with your sit mate.
(The teacher read the question and allow the students to answer in chorus)
- Kindly write the score at the top of the paper then give it back to the owner of the paper.
- Please submit those who got the perfect score, then followed by 4 and 3,
