Reading/Viewing Guide

STATION 1
Manuel is a farmer. He noticed that there are mice that were pests on their rice crops.
Their harvest of rice crops decreases. The supply of rice affected their town. Which
resulted, to a high price of rice. He uses three steps. First, he mixed 20g bait
phosphorus material into the soil; second, he places a scarecrow on the farm and lastly,
he planted peppermint in between the rice crops.

STATION 2
Mary’s mother is a “plantita”. During the pandemic, she planted tomatoes. Because of
lack of space, some tomatoes were planted on the garden soil, while others were on the
small pots. She observed that her plant growth and its fruits differ, although she planted
them simultaneously. Because of lack of space, there were tomatoes planted on the
garden, others were in small pots. The tomatoes planted on the garden receives enough
amount of sunlight. The tomatoes planted on the pots were placed inside on their
house. Both were watered and were given same amount of fertilizers.
 STATION 3
During the Brigada eskwela, teacher Mara is cleaning her room. She mops the floor and
cleans the board and chairs. While cleaning, she noticed bubble gum stains on the wall.
She wanted to remove the stain before she repainted the wall. She tried to use oil,
water and ice to remove the bubble gum stain.

STATION 4
Joseph loves to eat. One of his favorite foods is a sandwich. He makes it with peanut
butter, jams, ham, and even portions of margarine. His mother bought two packs of
bread. As he was about to prepare his sandwich, he saw molds on the sides of the
bread. He ran to his mom and told her about the molds. His mom told him to put a slice
of bread inside an air- tight container, the other slice to put in a paper bag and the
remaining slices, he left in the bread plastics.
