This document outlines a science lesson plan for 7th grade students on the scientific method. It provides the learning objectives, which are to describe the components of a scientific investigation and list the steps. The lesson plan details the various phases of instruction, which include an introduction, development of the content, student engagement activities, and assimilation of what was learned. Students will analyze scenarios and form hypotheses. They will also complete an assessment matching the scientific method steps to their descriptions. The lesson aims to teach students the process scientists use to investigate problems and answer questions scientifically.

V. LEARNING PHASES LEARNING ACTIVITIES
A. Introduction In this lesson I will expose you to the world of scientists. How do scientists
work? How do they solve problems? In most cases, scientists solve
problems by making thorough investigations. This process seeks to answer
questions that are essential in science, guided by the scientific method.
How are you today hope your all doing well before we start make sure
you have your pen and paper.
Let me give you a short SCIENCE FACT about the Earth
Our amazing planet has been around for quite some time. By
researching our planet, the scientist has calculated the earth to be
around 4.5 billion years old. And it is made up of rocks and it has different
layers.
The earth is our home planets that provides us life and also protect us
in space, so we should always be thankful, take care of the resources
from the earth so we could still exist for the next generation.
Before we start let me ask you some questions. Are you Ready….. Prepare
your pen and your paper… Let’s begin.
Read each questions carefully. Write only the letter of the correct answer
for each questions. Use one whole sheet of paper for your answer.
1. Which of the following questions is best considered as scientific?
a. Who invented electricity?
b. How long did dinosaurs live on earth?
c. How many koalas are there in Australia?

2. d. Does the amount of salt in water affect the temperature
at which it boils?
2.What is the process of obtaining information using your senses?
a. Inquiry b. Conclusion c. Observation d. Scientific Method
3. What is the series of steps to designed to help you solve problems and
answer questions?
a. Inquiry b. Surveys c. Interview d. Scientific Method
4. In which step of the scientific method do we use graphs?
a. Analyze data c. Making hypothesis
b. Asking question d. Communicating results
5. When a scientist shares his findings with other scientist, he is ______.
a. Experimenting c. Making a hypothesis
b. Analyzing data d. Communicating the results
B. Development
LESSON
There you go…. now let me ask you this…
How do you usually solve your problem or answer a questions, In my
case what I do is I analyze a problem at hand and think of a
possible solution if it is effective or not.
For now, let us explore the step of the Scientific Method.
Are you ready, that’s great all we have to do is to
understand the selection that you will see, let start

3. Scientific Method is used to arrive for the right answer to your
questions.
Science is a way of thinking and a way of gathering knowledge
about the world that is both accurate and reliable. It is the quest to
understand and improve our knowledge of the world around us,
and how the things in it work or why they work the way they do.
Scientific Method is a series of step designs help to solve your
problems and answer questions.
Lets’ elaborate the step of scientific method.
C. Engagement
You will now be analyzing the situation by determining the components of
scientific investigation. A systematic method of solving problems around us
Learning Task No. 1: Refer to the given data inside column A. Write
possible problems based on the given data. Choose the at least 3

4. available data that will support your answer from the choices in column B.
Write your answer in a separate sheet of paper. Refer to your modules p.8
Learning Task No. 2: A hypothesis is not simply a guess! A hypothesis is
an educated guess or tentative answer to a problem. The student
thinks that ice will melt faster in juice than it will in water. Maybe he
just wants to get a drink of juice out of it.
Examples:
1. What happens to the growth of mongo seeds if table salt was
added to the soil?
2. Tomato seeds may grow faster in colder temperature.
Hypothesis:
1. If the amount of salt added to the soil increases, then the growth
of mongo seeds decreases.
2. If tomato seeds were planted in colder temperature, then the
seeds will grow at a faster rate.
Let’s Try This
1. What effect does temperature have on the dissolution rate of
sugar in water?
Hypothesis: _____________________________________________________
2. Eating chocolates may cause pimples.
Hypothesis: _____________________________________________________
D. Assimilation What I Have Learned
Now that your Scientific Method is clear let’s have an
assessment. Now the Scientific Method is given.
Match the corresponding description for each step given. Write the
correct letter in your answer sheet.

5. E. REFLECTION The learner, in their notebook, will write their personal insights about
the lesson using the prompts below.
I understand that ___________________.
I realize that ________________________.
I need to learn more about __________.
