A. Elicit Task 1: MATCH MAKER
Directions: Match pictures from column A with column B to create the correct methods of
seed testing.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. a.
2. b.
3. c.
1. What are these words we have unlocked?
2. What were the methods we’ve previously performed?
3. Aside from these methods, are there any traditional practices done by your
parents to test if the seeds are good? (Mention some IP tribes)
B. Engage Task 2: VIDEO PRESENTATION
Directions: Students shall watch and observe the materials and procedures in petri-dish
method.
Task 2.a: IDENTIFY THE MATERIAL!
Directions: Choose and identify the materials needed in performing petri-dish
method. (Materials will be provided in actual)
C. Explore Task 3: ARRANGE ME OUT!
Directions: Volunteer students shall get one copy of the procedure. Arrange themselves
according to the steps in performing petri-dish method.
Correct procedure will be shown through PPT presentation.
Guide question:
1. What might happen if you will not follow the correct procedure in performing petri-dish
method?
Science – describe the components of a scientific investigation (S7MT-Ia-1)
D. Explain Task 4: Calculate percentage germination
Directions: Solve the problem using the given formula.
# of seeds germinated
Percentage Germination = # of seeds tested X 100
Sample Problem:
If you have tested 100 seeds of lima beans and only 85 germinated, then what is the
percentage germination?
# of seeds germinated
Percentage Germination = # of seeds tested X 100
85 X 100
= 100
= .85 x 100
= 85%
Mathematics – solves problems involving probability. (M10SP-IIIi-j-1)
Guide questions:
1. What are the data needed in computing percentage germination?
2. What should be the percentage germination of the seeds tested for us to conclude that
they are good?
3. Why do we need to test the seeds?
E. Elaborate Task 5:
General directions: The students shall choose their preferred activity.
A. RETURN DEMONSTRATION ON PETRI-DISH METHOD
Directions: Perform the petri-dish method following the correct steps. Answer the guide
question.
Guide questions:
1. What were the materials you used in performing petri-dish method?
2. How did you perform the petri-dish method?
3. How will you make sure that the seeds will germinate?
Food Processing - LO2. Implement food safety practices. (Precautionary measures)
B. PROBLEM SOLVING
Directions: Compute the germination percentage using the given formula.
Mr. Edgar randomly chose 110 seeds from his cowpea seed. He tested the seeds using
petri-dish method. After 5 days, he checked the seeds and only 86 germinated.
Guide question:
1. What is the germination percentage? Explain how did you do it.
2. Based from the result, what can you infer about the seeds tested?
C. GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
Directions: Fill out the graphic organizer by giving the purpose of seed testing.
Seed
Testing
English - Present ideas using a graphic organizer (N8WC-Ia-1.1.6.1)
F. Evaluate Task 8: Multiple Choices
1. What do you call testing of seeds using canister or plastic food container?
a. Petri-dish b. Ragdoll c. Seedbed d. Seedbox
2. Which one is not a purpose of testing the viability and percentage germination of
seed?
a. To avoid extra expenses, time and effort in replanting if some seed will not
germinate.
b. To determine if adjustment of seeding rate is necessary to undertake.
c. To determine whether the seed stock is of good quality or not.
d. To make sure that the seeds will not germinate.
3. Which of the following is not a material used in petri-dish method?
a. Canister b. Rag c. Seed d. Water
4. How many days will it takes for the seeds to germinate and be ready for percentage
germination calculation?
a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 7
5. Which one is not a method of testing the seeds?
a. Petri-dish b. Ragdoll c. Seedbed d. Seedbox
6. Testing the viability of seeds before planting is one of the important activities in
growing legumes. What do you call the test?
a. Soil sterility test c. Inoculation test
b. Percentage germination test d. Generic purity test
7. Mang Domeng tested the percentage germination of his seeds. After five days, he
found out that only 25 germinated from the 50 lima bean seeds planted. What is the
percentage germination?
a. 50% b. 60% c. 70% d. 80%
