Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Review learner's knowledge that seeds can germinate with or without soil. - This activity will take some days. NB: It is a repeat of the B3 activity but this time, the focus is on the process of germination. - Learners will work with beans or maize seeds. Learners first observe the dry seed coat, then when it absorbs water to swell rapturing of seed coat, sprouting of the root, sprouting of the stem and seed leaves, the elongation of the root and stem. - Learners follow the process and write reports. NB: Report should include diagrams of each stage of germination.
