1. Motivation

Yes/No!

Have you hear the fairytale story of Jack

and the Beanstalk?

Once upon a time, there was a son of a

farmer named JACK. It was
one fateful afternoon that Jack and his
family decided to sell their family cow
in the market in order to buy food at
home.

On his way to the market he stumbled

upon an old beggar saying that
he was very hungry and if he wanted to
trade Jack’s cow for the magic beans.
The old beggar was able to convince
Jack for a trade. Then the farmers’ son
went home with the magic beans.

The mother of Jack learned about it and

was so mad. In her

rage she took the magic beans and
throws it outside the window into
their backyard. Jack’s parents were
disappointed and he felt sorry about it.

Later that evening around midnight when

everyone was asleep, Jack was
awaken by tremors in their backyard. He
stood up to confirm the noise
and was shocked to see that the seeds
grew up to gigantic sprouts of
BEANSTALK reaching towards the
clouds of the night sky.

Jack recalled the old beggar, telling him

that those seeds are magical.
To his excitement and curiosity, he
quickly climbed the beanstalk as he
reaches higher and higher passing above
the clouds.

Jack was able to reach the top of the

humongous sprout and was
surprised to see a mystical castle above
the clouds. The castle was filled with
gold and hidden treasures of the world.
He got curious and took two things
from the mystical castle, the magical
golden harp and the magical hen that
lays golden eggs.

On his way out Jack was followed by an

angry giant. Jack knew the
giant is the guardian of the castle, so he
hurriedly ran back to the beanstalk
nd secure his return to the ground. The
giant attempted to go down the
beanstalk as well, but it was too late for
him. Because Jack axed the body of
the beanstalk and the wind drifted the
cloud carrying the castle where the giant
lived.

From that day forward, due to the magical

things he took. Jacks’
family lived bountiful, never grew hungry
again and lived happily ever after.

traded for their family cow?

2. Presentation
Our topic for today is all about the seed
and its parts.

Parts of a seed

Seed Coat— outer covering of the seed.

seed from injuries and from drying up.

When do you say that it is a monocot or

Seeds with one cotyledon are called

Monocot.
Seeds with two cotyledons are called
Dicot.

We have one more remaining part of the

seed, what is that?

The Embryo is also known as the new

plant or an immature (or
undeveloped) plant. It is the baby plant.

When do we say that a seed or seedling

is a monocot or dicot?

5. Application

Let students draw and label the parts of

the Monocot and Dicot
seeds
Focus on the EMBRYO, count how many
parts an embryo has.
Show the students sample illustrations of
monocot and dicot plants.

Awesome! What a great job!

6. Valuing

Guide pupils in constructing the main

idea or concept learned.
Ask them to state the parts of the embryo
and state its function.

Plumule ~ it is considered to be the part

that develops as the first leaves of
the new plant.

Hypocotyl — It is the off white part of the

embryo where the young root
stem of the seed begins.

Radicle — it is the part of the seed that

becomes the primary root.

IV. Evaluation

1. Draw and label the parts of the seed. State the appearance and
function
of each part.
