SCIENTIFIC

METHOD
AT THE END OF THE LESSON, YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO:

a. Differentiate observation from


inferences;
b. Identify the components or steps of a
scientific investigation; and
c. Cite some applications of an
investigatory process in a real life
situation.
SCIENTIFIC
METHOD
▪It is a series of organized steps that
are taken to answer a question of
solve a problem.
STUDY THE PICTURE SHOWN AND TRY TO
ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT FOLLOW.
QUESTIONS:
▪1. What is the picture all about?
▪2. What do you think caused such
problem?
▪3. What can we do as stewards of
God’s creation to protect and
conserve our environment?
WHAT IS THE PICTURE ALL
ABOUT?
1. MAKE OBSERVATIONS

▪Observation is a way of acquiring


information using the five senses
▪There are two types of observations:
▪Qualitative observations are
observations from the five senses.
▪Quantitative observations are
numerical values obtained from
measuring tools.
2. STATE THE PROBLEM

▪In this step, you need to define


the problem that you want to
solve or know.
▪The problem is usually in the
form of a question.
3. COLLECT
PRELIMINARY DATA
▪Once you know the problem that
you want to answer, you should
read about it.
▪Analyze the facts and data that
you collect, and look for trends
4. FORMULATE A
HYPOTHESIS
▪A hypothesis is an educated
guess that may lead to a possible
solution to the problem.
▪Commonly, it is stated as a cause-
and-effect relationship, making it
testable.
5.TEST THE HYPOTHESIS
▪ An experiment is performed to validate the
hypothesis.
▪ A controlled experiment is designed to test the
effect of a change in a condition. These
conditions or factors that affect the outcome of
an experiment is called a variable.
▪ There are two types of variables:
▪ The independent variable is the value that is
being changed or manipulated.
6. COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA

▪The data from the experiment


will either support or oppose
your hypothesis.
▪Data gathered may be
qualitative or quantitative.
They are usually presented in
7. DRAW A CONCLUSION
▪ Does the data support or
invalidate the hypothesis?
▪ If the data supports the
hypothesis, then the problem
is solved. The study should then be
shared to other scientists to spread the
information. Other scientists may also
work on your hypothesis to further
support your study.
