Activity
The teacher will be posting scramble letters to the board and the students will going to arrange the
letter in their respective seats. The arranged word will give hint on what will be the lesson for the
day.
The Word is: SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
After the students arranged the letters and guess the word, they are going to arrange the given
statements from 1 to 7.

ABSTRACTION
What is Scientific Investigation?
A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION is a process of finding answer to a question using various
research methods. An investigation usually begins when someone observes the world around them
and asks questions to which they don’t know the answer. Then, they make more observations or
develop an experiment to test a hypothesis. By collecting and analyzing data, the researcher can
present findings that attempt to answer their questions. The researcher may also modify their
experiment to test for condition they didn’t initially consider.
The 6 Steps of the Scientific Method
1. Make Observation
2. Ask a Question
3. Form a Hypothesis
4. Test the Hypothesis
5. Draw Conclusion
6. Communicate Results
Growing Bean Plants
Here is another example where the scientific method can be used to study the natural world.
1. Define Purpose: I want to know if a bean plant will grow more quickly outside or inside. For the
purposes of this experiment, you might decide on a time frame of three weeks.
2. Construct Hypothesis: The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between growing a bean
plant indoors or outdoors. The alternative hypothesis is that there is a statistically significant
difference between the two growing situations for bean plants.
3. Test Hypothesis and Collect Data: Plant four bean plants in identical pots using the same type of
soil. Place two of these in an outdoor location and place the other two in an indoor location. Try to
choose locations where the plants will get a similar amount of sunlight. Care for the plants in an
identical way, like giving the same amount of water. Then, each day for the three-week experimental
period, observe and measure plant growth. Carefully record the size of each plant in a notebook.
4. Analyze Data: Review the data and determine how the plants in both environments progressed over
the course of the three weeks. You may choose to find an average between the two indoor plants to
determine the "typical" indoor plant growth, doing the same for the two outdoor plants to calculate
the "typical" outdoor plant growth.
5. Draw Conclusion: Based on the data you collected, determine if there is a conclusive answer to the
question as to whether a bean plant placed inside or outside will grow more quickly.
6. Communicate Results: Prepare a way to present the results of the experiment, like in the form of a
written report, a slideshow presentation, or as a display at a science fair.
Why Scientific Investigation important?
The purposes of scientific investigations are to generate knowledge and create
explanations. Science investigations are conducted in multiple contexts and by a range of people.
Scientific investigations are conducted in multiple ways that rely on the collection of a range of types
of evidence.
APPLICATION
