Investigation

9. What is a Scientific Investigation?
● Scientific investigation is a quest to find the
answer to a question using the scientific
method. In turn, the scientific method is a
systematic process that involves using
measurable observations to formulate, test or
modify a hypothesis.

10. What are the different steps of Scientific Investigation?
● Scientific Investigation/method is a systematic process that involves:
● 1. Observation- allows an experimenter to gather and use background
information concerning the principles being tested to better predict and
understand the forthcoming outcome. Investigator observes by using the
5 senses, Sight (Eyes), Smell (Nose), Hearing(Ears), Taste (Tongue),
Touch (Skin).
● 2. Stating the problem- is a step when the investigator tends to ask
questions with What, How, When, Who, Which, Why or Where?

11. ● 3. Hypothesis- is a possible answer to a scientific question. It is sort of
educated
● guess about what you expect. It is a statement used to predict the outcome of
an
● experiment. Usually, a hypothesis is written in terms of cause and effect.
Alternatively,
● it may describe the relationship between two phenomena.

12. ● 4. Experimentation- is designed to test your hypothesis. An experiment to be
performed has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control
the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent
variable. It's important to change only one variable for an experiment rather
than try to combine the effects of variables in an experiment.
● 5. Data Analysis- Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data.
Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data. Don't throw out data points
you think are bad or that don't support your predictions. Some of the most
incredible discoveries in science
● were made because the data looked wrong!

13. ● 6. Conclusion- Conclude whether to accept or reject your
hypothesis. There is no right or wrong outcome to an
experiment, so either result is fine. Accepting a hypothesis
does not necessarily mean it's correct! Sometimes repeating an
experiment may give a different result. In other cases, a
hypothesis may predict an outcome, yet you might draw an
incorrect conclusion. Communicate your results.

15. Let’s Practice
● (Write your answer on the separate sheets provided.)
● Read the question carefully and supply your best answer.
● 1. Based on your own understanding, define Scientific Investigation.

19. 4. Maybe the car wasn’t filled with gasoline. Why is this considered to be a Hypothesis?
a. Because it is stating a conclusion.
b. Because we are now answering the Problem.
c. Because we are formulating an Educated guess.

a. I, II and III b. III only c. I, II and IV d. II only
6. How do we conduct the process of Conclusion?
a. Conclude whether to accept or reject the hypothesis.
b. Conclude whether there is no answer yet.

d. Conclude by stating the answer.
7. Janice is investigating which angle of inclination will the ball roll faster, how will she fully analyze
the data?
a. She will be able to fully analyze the data by organizing it either in charts or table form, so that
analysis can be carried easily due to organized results.
b. She will be able to fully analyze the data by designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.
c. She’ll be able to fully analyze the data by hiring someone to interpret it.
d. All of the above
