Explain the scientificmethod
in our own words.
By the end of this
lesson, we’ll be able
to:
Describe the steps involved in
the scientific method.
Apply the scientific method to
a specific problem.
3.
The Scientific
Method
It isa process of investigation
to find or produce measurable
and reliable results that
answer a specific question.
4.
You observe thatplants
grow in different
directions.
Observatio
n
These are the things or
information we note by using our
five senses. It is the way we
notice important details in our
surroundings.
1.
5.
“What makes aplant grow
in a certain direction?”
Question
The details we noticed during
observation will spark our
curiosity. The most interesting
ones will make us ask questions
that we want answered.
2.
6.
Research
3.
You learn aboutphototropism, or
how plants respond to a light
source.
It is important to look up
what is already known.
Research opens us up to
answered and unanswered
questions about our topic.
It also prepares us for the
next step in this process.
7.
The direction ofthe plant growth
depends on the location of the light
source.
Hypothesis
It is the tentative explanation to
our initial question based on
what we know so far.
As scientists or science learners,
our initial research and keen
observation equip us to form
informed hypotheses.

Set 3 minutes to list as many questions
as possible, then narrow them down to
a set of 5Ws and 1H (who, what, why,
where, when, and how).
Share in class how the first 4 steps of
the scientific method can apply to the
topic you came up with.

9.
You can setup an experiment
using plants. Record your data
thoroughly.
Experiment
This is the stage where we get to
test our hypothesis. It can be a
test or a series of tests done in a
controlled environment to
validate our observations and
answer our questions.
5.
10.
What worked anddid not work
during your experiment?
Analysis
This is when we compare our
expected results with our
actual results. We gather
measurable results that can
prove if our hypothesis is true
or false.
6.
11.
Do the resultsof your experiment
answer your research question
and hypothesis?
Conclusion
We draw conclusions from our analysis.
Our conclusion summarizes the
information we gathered during the
scientific process and shares if our
hypothesis is correct or can be
supported.

Remember that the

COMMUNICATI
ON
The entire scientific process leads us to
new information. When shared, they can
be used in future studies.
Many of today’s technologies and
knowledge started from a hypothesis
that someone took time to test and
share their results with the world.
