1. The document outlines the general pattern of the scientific method, which includes 7 steps: observation, identifying a problem, gathering information/data, formulating a hypothesis, experimentation, gathering/interpreting results, and drawing a conclusion. 2. It provides examples to illustrate key aspects of the scientific method, such as identifying the independent and dependent variables in an experiment. 3. The document is intended to help students understand and apply the scientific method process in their own research activities and everyday problem solving.

3. • ¼ sheet of paper
• ballpen
• notebook for taking down notes

5. • Identify the general
pattern of a scientific
investigation and
enhance students'
spelling and
vocabulary words;

6. • Perform various
activities to
demonstrate an
understanding of the
concepts; and

7. • Realize the use of a
scientific approach in
dealing with a problem
and in any observable
phenomenon.

9. 1.How often do you go to
church with your family
or friends? Are you
familiar with this old
church in Kawit?

10. 2) On your way to the Mary
Magdalene Church together
with a friend, you noticed
that your wallet is missing,
what would be your initial
reaction?

11. 3) What must you do to find
your missing wallet?

12. 1) Science Process Skills
2) Manipulative Skills

13. Research activities follow a general pattern that will bring
you convenience in dealing with research and in your day-
to-day activities.
1. Observation
 Researchers make use of
their senses around them
to spot problem
areas.

14. 2. Identification of a Problem
 Researchers develop a
question that is answerable
by how and why.

15. 3. Information Gathering of
Preliminary Data
 Read books, magazines,
use the internet for
related websites, or ask
professionals to learn
about the effect or area of
study.

16. 4. Formulation of Hypothesis
 Identifying variables is
necessary before you can
make a hypothesis.
 Hypothesis is an educated
guess about the
relationships between
independent and
dependent variables.

17. Example:
A scientist hypothesizes that the
temperature at which an ostrich’s
egg is incubated will determine
whether the ostrich will be male or
female. What is the independent
variable of this experiment?

18. 5. Experimentation
 Design an experiment to test
each hypothesis.
 Make a step-by-step list of
what you will do to answer
each question. This list is
called Experimental
Procedure.

19. 5. Experimentation
 Recording of the results is
necessary like data, graph, and
description of the observed
outcome.

20. Three Types of Variables
1) Independent variable – is a
manipulated factor that
intentionally varied by the
experimenter (the x-axis).

21. Three Types of Variables
2) Dependent variable – is a
responding factor that may change
as a result of changes made in the
independent variable (the y-axis).

22. Three Types of Variables
3) Control group – serves as the
standard comparison in all
experiments. It is exposed to the
same conditions as the experimental
group except for the variable being
tested.

23. Example:
A student wanted to find out which of the three
types of soil; sand, clay and loam is best for
mongo plants. He took three identical plant pots
and filled them with the same amount of sand,
clay and loam respectively. He planted each pot
with 15 mongo seeds. He placed the pots in an
area with sunlight and watered them with the
same amount regularly. What variable was
manipulated in the experiment?

24. Problem:A student wanted to find out which of the
three types of soil is best for mongo plants.
Controlled variable: Mongo Plants 3 identical plant
pots; same amount of sand, clay, and loam; 15 mongo
seeds in each pot; sunlight and same amount of water
Independent variable:Types of Soil (Sand, Clay, Loam)
Dependent variable: Plant growth

25. 6. Gathering Data and
Interpreting Results
 Record what happened
 Presented in the form of a
table of processed numerical
data or graphs.

26. 7. Draw Conclusion
 Is your hypothesis correct?
• If your hypothesis is not
correct, what could be the
answer to your question?

27. 7. Draw Conclusion
• Summarize any difficulties
or problems you had
experimenting
with.
• Do you need to change the
procedure and repeat your
experiment?

28. 7. Draw Conclusion
• What would you do
differently next time?
• List other things you learned

29. • If your hypothesis is not correct, what
could be the answer to your question?
• Summarize any difficulties or problems
you had experimenting with.
7. Draw conclusion
Research activities follow a general pattern that will bring
you convenience in dealing with research and in your day-
to-day activities.

30. • Do you need to change the procedure
and repeat your experiment?
• What would you do differently next
time?
• List other things you learned
7. Draw conclusion
Research activities follow a general pattern that will bring
you convenience in dealing with research and in your day-
to-day activities.
