What is the best
discovery in
Science that you
know of?
WHAT TO LEARN?
AT THE END OF THE LESSON THE STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
• Explain the importance of ABC’s (fundamentals) of science
• Apply scientific method
• Distinguish between pure science and applied science
• Describe the basic concepts of physical science
Ssssssss
What is
Science?
It is the study of the
natural world based
on facts.
SYSTEMATIZED
SCIENTIFIC STUDY
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
What are we learning this year?
We will be looking at 3 different
areas of physical science:
Chemistry
Physics
Space Science
• Physical science is the study of
matter and energy.
• The universe is composed of
matter.
• Your body, this paper, and your
desk are matter.
• In physical science, you will learn
the properties of metals, water,
air, and many other kinds of
matter.
What is Physical Science?
Why do I have to know this stuff?
• Imagine humans when they first had fire, when they first made
wheels, when they first established where they were going by
looking at the stars.
• How did the things we consider basic - heat, light, navigation,
transportation, entertainment - ever come to be?
 The answers all touch on physics and
chemistry.
Chemistry tells us how to make things and what
things are made of.
Physics tells us how and why things move.
Chemistry
The study of:
the composition (make-up) of matter
the changes that matter undergoes
Physics
The study of the physical world
including motion, energy, light,
electricity, magnetism, sound etc.

The ABC’s of Science
A. The Metric System
B. Safety
C. The Scientific Method
The Metric System
There are two advantages in using the metric system:
1. It helps scientists share & compare their results &
observations.
• If Vergara conducted an experiment here in PEACI, even a
scientist in America would be able to understand his
measurements.
2. All units are based on the number 10.
• Changing from one unit to another is easy!

Let’s try!
1 kilometer is equal to _1000___ meters.
kilo-meter
prefix = kilo or 1000
unit = meter, measuring distance
Therefore: 1 kilometer = 1000 meters.
5 kilometers is equal to _______ meters
10 kilometers is equal to _______ meters
Let’s try!
What unit would you use to measure each of the following?
Water in a bottle
The distance from my classroom to the bathroom
The amount of heat in the classroom?
How much matter is in a paperclip
Metric System: Length
The meter (m) is the SI unit of length.
A meter is about the distance from a doorknob to the floor.
A driver golf club is also about a meter in length.
The meter is divided into 100 equal parts called centimeters
(cm).
There are 100 centimeters in a meter:
100 cm = 1 m
An even smaller unit is a millimeter (mm).
The prefix “milli-” means 1/1000, so…
 1000 mm = 1 m
 10 mm = 1 cm
Long distances are measured in kilometers (km).
In the US, they measure speed by miles per
hour (mph). In most other countries, they
measure in kilometers per hour (km/h).
You try it!
• Name 3 things that are about one meter long.
• Name 3 things that are measured in
centimeters
• Name 3 things that are small enough to be
measured in millimeters
You Try It!
Arrows A, B, & C are all pointing to a particular place on
a meter stick. Name the value & include units.
You try it! What is the most appropriate unit for
a scientist to use to measure the following?
• Distance from Malabang to Marawi City
• Length of your eyelash
• Length of your arm
• Height of PEACI building
• Length of a grain of salt
You try it! Practice Measuring
1. Measure the length of this paper in cm & mm.
_______ cm & _______ mm
2. Draw a square with sides measuring 11cm.
3. Measure the height of your desk from the
floor to the top in meters & centimeters.
_______ cm & _______ m
4. Measure the length of your desk in meters &
cm.
_______ cm & _______ m
Smile Lab Time!
Today you’re going to measure your smile with a piece of
string, and then tape that string to your table’s paper.
When your table has completed the measurements & taping
come up front to record what the measurements were, so that
your classmates can record those lengths.
Be sure to complete the graph & conclusion of your lab.
EVERYONE needs to complete a lab write up.
• Freedom from harm or danger
• To protect against failure.
SAFETY
Recognize a problem
Hypothesis- an educated guess, must
be testable.
Observation -measurement, data
collection (experiment)
Conclusion
Scientific Method
A well- tested explanation for a set
of observations.
Example:
Big Bang Theory
Scientific Theory
Describes and summarizes an observed
pattern in nature without attempting to
explain it.
A hypothesis that has been repeatedly
tested and not contradicted.
Change or are abandoned when
contradicted.
Scientific Law or Principle
Scientific Model
A representation of an object or an
event, that helps us visualize and
understand them.
Scientific Fact
 Observation
 May change
Science and Technology
Pure Science 
Done for the sake of knowledge
Applied Science (Technology)
Done with a purpose of solving a problem.
Has an application.
Pure Science or Technology?

clarifications?
