| Performance Indicator: Learners can compare the differences in germination, of bean and maize seeds | Core Competencies: Problem Solving skills; Critical Thinking; Justification of Ideas |
| T.L.R.(s): bean and maize seeds, cotton wool in clear jars, cup of water | Keywords: Maize, Cycles, Seeds |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning The teacher brings a bag into the classroom that contains an object that has a connection to the lesson. Then it is passed around and learners try to determine what is in the bag just by feeling it. The student who guess right wins, and hence introduce the lesson | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Learners are assisted to review the previous knowledge on seed germination.
Put learners in groups and provide them with dry beans and maize seeds.
Learners are assisted to plant the bean and maize seeds using transparent containers and soil.
Learners are guided to observe (1) the dry seed (2) when it absorbs water and swells (3) rapturing of the seed coat (4) sprouting of the root (5) sprouting of the stem and seed leaves (6) the elongation of the root and stem.
Learners find out where the seed leaves (cotyledons) remain, inside the soil or above the soil. NB: This activity will take some days
For this activity, learners use bean and maize seeds, cotton wool in clear jars and cup of water to set up and observe germination and record the visible stages. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Ask learners questions to review their understanding of the lesson.
