1) The document provides instructions for an activity that tests students' knowledge of scientific names of organisms. 2) Students will pick soybeans with numbers, calculate averages, and use the averages to answer questions requiring the scientific names of plants and animals bought at a market. 3) Before starting, each group member must wear a costume and wave like a beauty queen. The activity aims to help students like Ben, Robert, Beth, and Coldie answer their family members' questions about purchases since they have trouble in botany class.

1. SAY MY NAME!
Introduction:
Local names of different species may lead everyone to confusion. For example,
what we know in Iligan City as “matangbaka”, a kind of fish, is known as “Kutob” in other
places. Due to this kind of problem arising, scientific names are invented to allow people
around the world to communicate accurately about species, thus, “kutob” or
“matangbaka” is generally called as Selar crumenophthalmus. With the help of
international rules on naming plants and animals, zoologists and botanists avoid naming
the same species twice. This means that each scientific name is unique.
In this activity, you will be tested on how much you know about naming
organisms.
Objectives:
I. The students would be able to review their skills in addition and getting an
average.
II. The students would be able to identify scientific names of some organisms.
Obstacles:
Before answering the main question:
Your group is provided a set of costume. The first member of the team should
wear it all, and wave like a beauty queen. After performing, the next member in the line
should also do the same until all members in the group has performed.
Materials:
 Soy beans
Procedure/ Mechanics
Take note: You are only given 10 minutes to complete the station task.

2. 1. In a bowl full of soy beans, find and pick 5 beans with numbers marked on it.
Take note of the numbers written on the beans, sum it up and get the average.
Write your answers on the provided answer sheet by the trailblazers.
2. The average result has corresponding questions or problems. Write your
answers on the provided answer sheet. Refer to the questions below.

Ben’s mother asked him to go to the market and buy 2 kilos of monggo beans, 3
kilos of carrots, and 5 bundles of Mayana. The market is 10 kilometers away from
their home and Ben started to walk at 5 o’clock in the morning. By the time he gets
home, his mother made sure that he brought the exact kind of monggo beans,
carrots, and mayana by asking him about the scientific names of the three. Ben is
always absent in his Botany class so he could not answer his mother, It is now your
chance to help Ben. Go help Ben!
32.67
Robert’s sister asked him to go to the market and buy 7 kilos of tomato, 4 kilos of
strawberries, and 5 kilos of red grapes. The market is 5 kilometers away from their
home and Robert started to walk at 8 o’clock in the morning. By the time he gets
home, his sister made sure that he brought the exact kind of tomato, strawberries,
and red grapes by asking him about the scientific names of the three. Robert is
always eating, and not listening in his Botany class so could not answer his sister, It
is now your chance to help Robert. Go help Robert!
33.6
Beth’s mother asked her to go to the market and buy 2 kilos of potato, 3 kilos of
banana, and 5 kilos of Mango. The market is 10 kilometers away from their home
and Beth started to walk at 5 o’clock in the morning. By the time she gets home, her
mother made sure that she brought the exact kind of potatoes, bananas and
Mangoes by asking her about the scientific names of the three. Beth is always
daydreaming in her Botany class so she could not answer her mother, It is now your
chance to help Beth. Go help Beth!
33.8
Coldie’s mother asked him to go to the market and buy 2 kilos of onion, 3 kilos of
Papaya, and 5 bundles of Malunggay. The market is 4 kilometers away from their
home and Coldie doesn’t have a car so he started to walk at 7 o’clock in the
morning. By the time he gets home, his mother made sure that he brought the exact
kind of onion, papaya, and malunggay by asking him about the scientific names of

3. the three. Coldie always falls asleep in his Botany class so he could not answer his
mother, It is now your chance to help Coldie. Go help Coldie!
34.79
Your aunt asked you to go to the market and buy 2 kilos of apple, 3 kilos of
broccoli, and 5 kilos of Asparagus. By the time you get home, your aunt made sure
that you brought the exact kind of apple, broccoli, and asparagus by asking you
about the scientific names of the three. Go answer your aunt.
