Activity 3: (24 points)
A. Directions: Arrange the steps involved in the Scientific Method in chronological order.
Write 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th on the space provided before the number.
1) Analyzing the data

2) Formulating a hypothesis
3) Gathering data (which includes conducting experiments)
4) Identifying the problem
5) Making and applying recommendations
6) Making a conclusion
B. Directions: Arrange the steps involved in Rice Seed Germination chronologically.
Write 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th on the space provided before the number.
1) After three days, the seeds should have already germinated. If the seeds failed to
germinate, further heating may be necessary. This can be achieved by adding more
layers of damp cloth.
2) Collect the seeds and drain the excess water from the container where the seeds were
soaked.
3) Soak the rice seeds in water overnight so that water can penetrate them and make the
embryos develop.
4) They can then be transferred to trays of moist soil to encourage further development
into seedlings. These can later on be transferred to the field.
5) Transfer the seeds to a cemented surface and cover the seeds with thick layers of
sacks or damp cloth for warmth. Heat is needed for seed germination.
6) When the seeds have swollen and started to look like small plants, they have already
germinated.
Activity 4: Essay (2 points each)

Direction: Read the following questions and answer based on what you have learned. Limit your
answer in 1-2 sentence/s.
1. What is Crop Rotation?
2. What is Contour farming or planting?
3. What is the difference between Commercial Fertilizer to Natural Fertilizer?
