“Record how the seeds germinate into saplings from day 1 to day 10.” Rita gave this task to her students before teaching the lesson on ‘Germination’. She is trying to assess her students’ ability to:
A. draw and represent
B. predict how germinating seeds would look like
C. observe and record
D. infer from the given activity

Correct option is D

The correct option is (d) B, C and D. When Rita asks her students to record how seeds germinate into saplings from day 1 to day 10, she is assessing multiple abilities:
 B. Predict how germinating seeds would look like: Students need to anticipate changes and growth stages of the seeds.
 C. Observe and record: Students must carefully observe daily changes in the seeds and accurately document their observations.
 D. Infer from the given activity: Students should be able to draw conclusions and make inferences based on their recorded observations over the 10 days.
This activity helps students develop skills in prediction, observation, recording data, and making inferences, which are crucial in scientific inquiry and understanding the process of germination.
