was the last one who grew?

(Pupils will respond)

ANALYSIS

(The teacher will ask few more questions)

 What approach would you use

to help the tiny seed grow?
 What do you think is the purpose
of the flower losing its seeds?

ABSTRACTION

The seeds for new life are found

inside fruit. They contain everything
necessary for the growth and
development of a new plant.
“Today, we are going to learn the Monocot
and Dicot seed”

but before that I have a friend Her

name is Alice. She holds apple and the
apple contains 5 seeds represents
the 5 messages that Alice sent to the
students of Grade IV- Gold.
Now, I need 5 students to open
The message from the seeds. Teacher!
Yes? (Selecting 5 students
from the class)

1. Sit properly
2. Don’t talk to your seatmate
3. Raise your hands if you want
to answer
4. Participate
5. Respect one another
Now, Read what message
Has sent to you by Alice. Students are reading
Now class, Can I expect
That to all of you? Yes teacher!
Very Good!

There are Three primary parts of

A seed that both found in the
Monocot and Dicot are:

 SEED COAT- kindly

read it ___ -outer covering of the
seed. It protects the
seed from injuries and
from drying up.
Thank you!
The Monocot and Dicot
has both Seed coat
Now who can point out the
 Seed coat of the Monocot
And Dicot? Teacher?
Yes? ___ (the student point out)
Very good!
Give hands to ___ (students are clapping)
Next is the
 Cotyledon – the off
white and the biggest
part of the seed. It
provides the young
plant or the seed the
food it needs for growth.

In monocot it has a single

Cotyledon while in Dicot
There are two.
Any one from the class
Go to the board and point out
The two cotyledon of Dicot? Teacher!
Yes___? (Pointing out)
Very Good!

Kindly read the last part

___? EMBRYO- The young
plant or immature plant
found inside the seed.
It will soon develop
into a plant.
In Dicot the embryo
Consists of Embryonic
Root name Radicle.
Then connected to Radicle
Is the embryonic shoot name
Plumule.
Did you understand the lesson
Today class? Yes, teacher
Very Good!

Again, what are the

Primary parts of the
Seeds? Teacher?

Yes? __ Seed coat

Cotyledon
Embryo
Very Good!

What we called the

Outer covering of the seed? Teacher!
Yes__? Seed coat
Vey good!
The off white and the
Biggest part of the seed? Teacher!

Yes__? Cotyledon
Very good!

The young plant or immature

Plant found inside the seed? Teacher?
Yes__? Embryo
Very good!
Now, class what is the
The different between
Monocot seed and Dicot seed? Teacher!
Yes__? Monocot has single
Cotyledon while
 Dicot has two
Cotyledon.
Very good!

APPLICATION

Group Activity
I will divide the class
Into three groups. Each group
