TEACHER’S ACTIVITY PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

A. PREPARATORY ACTIVITY

Opening Prayer
Checking of Attendance
Review of the Past Lesson

B. MOTIVATION

(The teacher will ask some questions)

Have you seen a seed? Yes ma’am
What kind of seeds do you know?
(Pupils will respond)

(The teacher will post a picture of a seed)

(The teacher will call one by one)
What do you notice about those seeds?
They differ in size and shape

C. 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 a story in title The
Tiny Seed by: Eric Carle)

Yes ma’am!
Did you enjoy the story?
Are you ready to answer some (Pupils will respond)
Questions?

Discussion Questions:
1. Who is the main character of the Story? The Tiny Seed
2. What blows the seed?
Air
3. Did the tiny seed fell on the ground during
No ma’am!
autum?
4. What happens after the tiny seed falls into
(Pupils will respond)
the ground?

D. ANALYSIS
(The teacher will ask few more questions)
 Where does seed come from?
 How are you going to help the tiny
seed grow
E. ABSTRACTION
Seed 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 part only when it

undergoes a process called SEED
GERMINATON

I have here an illustration of a seed

during Germination.”

(The teacher will post an illustration)

(The teacher will post the definition of

GERMINATION)
(The teacher will let the pupils read it aloud)

GERMINATION - is the process by which

plant, emerges from the seed and begins
to grow.

Okay, thank you!

These are the parts of a SEED during

germination

PARTS OF A SEED

 EMBRYO - a very young plant which a

new plant grow under proper
conditions.
 RADICLE - in a dicot is the embryonic
root.

Can you point out where is the radicle (The pupil will go in front and point out
in the illustration? 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 by the OVULE.
The seed coat helps protect the
embryo.

So where’s the seed coat in the

(A pupil will respond)
Illustration?

Okay, thank you. So you see, the SEED

COAT is the outer part of the seed.

Any other question?

None, ma’am!
Did you understand the lesson?
Yes, ma’am!
Again what is the very young plant from
which a new plant grows under proper
AN EMBRYO
conditions?

What about the embryonic root in a

dicot seed? RADICLE

What do you call the seeds own food

supply? EPICOTYL and COTYLEDON

Very good!

3. APPLICATION

Group Activity
1. Arrange the process of seed Germination.
2. Identify and name the different parts of
the seed from the figure.

4. EVALUATION

on the board)
DIRECTION: On your answer sheet, answer
the following:

1. It Protects the embryo.

a. roots
b. Leaf

4. Which of these is not part of the seed?

a. flower
b. embryo
c. seed coat

5. The epicotyl is a part of embryo that grows

into ______________.
a. leaves
b. roots
c. stem

5. ASSIGNMENT

Answer the following questions in your

notebook

1. List down the factors that affect seed

germination and growth.
2. Where does a flowering plant start?

3. What is a primary root?

4. What are the seeds that germinate

even without soil?

5. How does seed grow into a plant?
