### Procedure:
**1. Introduction (10 minutes)**
- **Greeting (2 minutes):** Welcome students and briefly introduce the lesson.
- **Warm-up Activity (3 minutes):** Ask students to share any recent experiences they have had with planting seeds or helping in the kitchen.
- **Objective Explanation (5 minutes):** Discuss the objectives of the lesson and explain that they will learn about the tasks that come after planting seeds and how to identify tools used in cooking.
**2. Post-Planting Activities (20 minutes)**
- **Discussion (5 minutes):** Explain what post-planting activities are (watering, weeding, applying fertilizer, etc.).
- **Interactive Demonstration (10 minutes):** Show images or actual tools used in post-planting, such as a watering can and hoe. Demonstrate how each tool is used.
- **Group Activity (5 minutes):** Divide the students into small groups and give each group a flashcard. Ask them to discuss the importance of the activity/tool on their card.
**3. Cooking Tools and Equipment Identification (20 minutes)**
- **Show and Tell (10 minutes):** Display real cooking tools or show images. Describe each tool and explain its use. For example, "This is a spatula, it is used for stirring and turning food."
- **Matching Game (5 minutes):** Provide students with a set of flashcards. One set should have pictures of cooking tools, and the other set should have names of those tools. Allow students to match the pictures with the correct names.
- **Q&A (5 minutes):** Open the floor for students to ask questions about the tools and their uses.
**4. Conclusion and Assessment (10 minutes)**
- **Recap (3 minutes):** Summarize the key points from the lesson.
- **Worksheet (5 minutes):** Distribute a worksheet. The worksheet will have two sections—one for students to list post-planting activities and another to identify cooking tools from pictures.
- **Closing (2 minutes):** Collect the worksheets and provide positive reinforcement. Briefly mention what will be covered in the next class.
**Extension Activity:**
- **Home Assignment:** Ask students to observe and participate in a post-planting activity at home or with a community gardener. Additionally, they should assist in the kitchen, using one of the tools they learned about, and write a short paragraph about their experience.
