Now, class to start our lesson let us first recall
what we have discussed yesterday. Can you (Everyone) Yes, Ma'am.
still remember?

(A student will raise a hand)

Can anyone tell me what was the topic all
about? Ma’am, yesterday we discussed about the
characteristics of good seeds

Very Good!
Okay, so class yesterday we discussed the
Proper Steps in growing Seedlings

Now class, let us first have our first activity, I

have here a riddle and all you have to do if to
guess what is asking or describing in the
riddle. (Everyone) Yes, Ma'am.

Is it clear class?
Okay so everybody read class (Everyone will read)
"I am small but full of might,
__E__D__ Buried in soil, I seek the light.
"I am small but full of might, With water and warmth, I start to grow,
Buried in soil, I seek the light. Into a plant, my roots will go.

What am I? (A student will raise a hand)
Ma’am I think it is SEEDS
Thank you, now who will answer?

Yes correct! (A student will raise a hand)

Now who can give me example of a seeds? At Ma’am, corn seeds, rice seeds and beans

some of the seeds?"

Good observation class!

Class one of the process or techniques in

choosing good quality seeds is The Float Test

Good-quality seeds are usually dense and

healthy, so they sink to the bottom. While
Poor-quality seeds are often light, hollow, or
damaged, causing them to float on the surface.

When selecting seeds for planting, it’s best to

use the ones that sink because they have a
higher chance of growing into healthy plants.

Thank you.
Good seeds come from healthy parent plants of
a known variety. This ensures they will grow
well and produce a good harvest.

Number 3 who will read?

Ma’am!
3. Proper moisture content
3. Proper moisture content. Seeds
which are not properly dried could

The acceptable moisture content is

Seeds must be properly dried before storage. If
they have too much moisture, they can spoil or
lose quality. The right moisture level is 14%.

How about the number 4? Ma’am!

4. Shape. 4. Shape. Deformed and irregularly -
shaped seeds tend to produce poor
harvest. Select seeds with regular
shape and structure.

Thank you
Choose seeds that have a regular shape and
structure. Seeds that are bent or not formed
properly may not grow well and can lead to a
poor harvest.
 How about the last number 5? Ma’am!
5. Mode of storage. 5. Mode of storage. Seeds which are
stored in a bottle with a desiccant

Thank you from drying up.
Seeds should be stored in a bottle with a
drying material like charcoal. This helps keep
the seed alive by preventing it from losing too
much moisture.

E. Discussing new (The Teacher will present picture of a rice

Class this is an example of a quality and poor-

quality of a rice seeds.

Teacher asks guiding questions:

Now, which seeds do you think will grow
better? Why?
Ma’am, "I think the healthy seeds will grow
better because they look fuller, smoother, and
have no visible damage. Healthy seeds are
likely to have more nutrients and energy to
sprout and grow into strong plants, while the
poor-quality seeds might not germinate well

be used for planting as long as they are
stored properly.
7. ( __) High-quality seeds result in better
crop yields and higher profits for farmers.
8. ( __) Proper seed selection helps in
reducing the risk of plant diseases.
9. ( __) Moisture content does not affect the
quality of stored seeds.
Short Answer (10)
10. Give one reason why selecting high-
quality seeds is important for farming.

J. Additional activities Assignment: (The students answer may vary depending on

for application and what they have learned, but here’s the example of
Directions: Write 3-5 sentences explaining
remediation a possible answer.)
why using good-quality seeds is important for
farming. Give one simple example of how
high-quality seeds help farmers. Using good-quality seeds is important for
farming because they lead to higher crop yields,
better resistance to diseases, and improved
overall plant health. High-quality seeds have a
higher germination rate, meaning more plants
will grow successfully, reducing waste and
increasing efficiency. They also produce uniform
crops, making harvesting easier and more
predictable. For example, a farmer using high-
quality corn seeds will get more ears of corn per
plant and healthier crops, leading to a better
harvest and higher profits.
