Alternatives are suggested solutions, some may be workable and
possible, or some may not even help at all. More importantly, the
alternatives give people, in this case Luis’ father, the chance to weigh the
“pros” and “cons” of any given situation to arrive at a workable and
acceptable plan of action. With alternatives at hand, you are confidently
equipped to face the problem because what you have settled to use is the
next best thing.

Alternatives have been helpful to people when confronted with different

problems. The problem may be the same, but the solutions are varied
because of advances in science and technology.

what did you notice? separating?
 The bottom part is sand, the middle
portion is silt and the top part is clay. The separation of
sand, silt and clay is
expected simply because the three weigh differently. And
so, clay is at the top portion because it weighs the least,
followed by silt, and, lastly, sand, the heaviest of the three,
at the bottom of the jar.

 What do you mean by hydroponics?

 Why do people now a days sold their land and build different structures like
houses, shopping mall etc.?

 Why alternative methods of planting are important?

 Give some examples how life before is different from in this new generation?
 
 Is new method of farming using technology helpful or not? Explain your
answer.
Let’s Think About This (Group Work)
 • How can you apply
hydroponics into your
family and community?
  Do a research on
what are the different
steps in hydroponics
gardening.
