C. PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON

1. Presentation of the Lesson Objectives
(Present the Objectives of the Lesson) 1. identify different
- ___________Please read objective number 1. methods of seed
- ___________Number 2 testing;
- And _____________ for the number 3. 2. demonstrate
proper seed
- Then let’s find out later if everyone can achieve our objectives. testing methods;
- Thank You Class! and
3. appreciate the
value of planting.
2. Activity
- As I have said, we will discuss and perform several methods of
seed testing. - Okay Ma’am.
- I am going to divide you into group of 5. We have 4 groups.
- Group 1 please stay here, group 2 here, group 3 there and group
4 there.

- I have here some pictures, each group will be given one and
observed. I will give you five (5) minutes to discuss and will call
one member in your group to tell in the class your observation.

- Guide question:
- What are the materials used?
- Why they need to do it?
- How it was done?
3. Analysis
- Based on the given pictures, what is your observation? - Student
- Group 1 recite the
- Very good observation.
- How about group 2?
- Yes, very good.
- Next Group 3
- Nice!
 - Last group 5
- Very good.
- Excellence class! - Student
- Which among the methods of testing is more convenient to use recite the
or practice? answer.

4. Abstraction
- Our topic is all about Methods of Seed Testing.
- Before seeds are sown or planted in the field they must be tested
to determine if these are viable, clean, true to type, disease free
and to find out percentage of germination.
Methods of Seed Testing
- Breaking the Seed Coat- This method is practiced with seeds
that have a hard seed coat which impermeable to water and
oxygen.
- Winnowing – Seeds are placed in a shallow woven basket or
“bilao” to winnow the seeds. All seeds being blown away are
empty and are not viable. Those that remain in the “bilao” are
good seeds.
- Germination Test – This may be done in seedbeds, seed boxes,
seed trays, petri dishes, recycled materials, polyethylene bags or
in a piece of cloth (Ragdoll Methods)
- Floating in the Water – When seeds are placed in water, it
could be observed of that some of the seeds sink and some float.
Seeds that sank are expected to have higher germination rate. It
can be expected that the floating seeds is not filled well and may
not germinate as readily as the sinking seed
- Does having seed testing important?
- Off course it is very important.
Because by doing such, growers will find out the amount of
seeds/seedlings to plant in a given area. In that case, sowing the
right amount of seeds will have economized labor and expenses
in re-planting.

5. Application
- Each group will perform one method. Group 1 will do Breaking
the seed coat, Group 2 will do Winnowing, Group 3 will do
germination test – petri dish and Group 4 will do the floating in
the water.
- Class please observe our rubrics. - Okay Ma’am.

minutes.
- Match Column A with Column B. Identify the methods of seed testing. Please write the
letter only.

A B
1. Uses seeds that have hard seed coat. a. Floating in Water
2. Seeds are placed in Bilao. b. Germination test
3. Maybe done in seed beds, petri dishes c. Winnowing
or with the use of cloth (ragdoll).
4. The seeds which sank will identify as d. Breaking the seed coat
good seed.
5. Done to determine the seeds viability, e. Seed Testing
clean and disease free.

- Time is up. Exchange your paper with your seat mate.
