TEACHERS ACTIVITY STUDENTS ACTIVITY

I will give a jumbled pictures and I will

divide you into three groups. Each group
will give their ideas about it.

Okay class, based on the pictures that

your have, what is your idea? Ma’am the first one shows that their
having an experiment.

Yes! That’s correct. Next? Ma’am it shows that they are solving a
problem.
 Good job! The last one? Ma’am it shows a step by step
process.

Very good class! So based on your

observation, what ideas can you Ma’am they are having a problem then
conclude? by on experiment and a proper steps
by step process, they solved their
problem.

Very good class!

 C. EXPLAIN

TEACHER ACTIVITY STUDENTS ACTIVITY

Class, I have here the Scientific Inquiry.

It is the art of questioning, and by that
you can learn from it.
A simple asking a question is an
example of scientific inquiry.

Science is all about learning and

understanding something new. Inquiry
means to ask for information or
investigate something to find out more.
You get me?
Yes ma’am!

Yes! Very Good!

The following attitudes is needed by the

scientist to have a good work. The first
one is Curiosity. What is it? Please read.
Ma’am curiosity is the one being
inquisitive shows a person’s desire to
learn and explore.
Yes! A person who is curious always has
a question in mind. They have a strong
desire to know or learn something. Next
attitude?

Ma’am open-mindness is the ability of

a person to accept mistakes and ideas
from other people to improve one’s
investigation.
Very good. Being Open-minded means
that you are accepting those ideas,
knowledge that you get without judging
them. Next?
Perseverance, a person that shows a
strong determination to pursue his/her
work inspite of challenges and
problems during the investigation.
Yes, they are the one who never give up
that fast. They will push their selves until

being upset.
Yes! Patience is important. It helps a
scientist to push his/her study. Some
experiments/investigations takes time
before it has done. So, you need to have
more patience. Next?
Skepticism refers to the ability to
question the authenticity of something
considered factual.
It is generally a questioning attitude or
doubt towards to something. Next?
Resourceful refers to a person’s ability
to find alternative solutions to
problems, especially in difficult
situations.
If you have a plan A and it doesn’t work
out, you need to have your plan B, C, D,
E, until you finish your work. Lastly?
Objectivity is the ability to distinguish
true observations from hearsay.

Yes, it is a systematized/organized
process. It has a step-by-step

The first step is Ask a question, by that
you will observe some results or ideas
that you can learn from it. Class, what is
Observation.
Ma’am it is the act of acquiring
information with the uses of our

we have?
Ma’am sense of sight!

Yes, you can answer some of it by based on your problem.
means of your observation.

It is clear?
Yes Ma’am!
What is the third step?
Ma’am experimentation and data
gathering/ conduct an experiment.
Yes, after your observation, and stating
hypothesis, you will proceed to your
experimentation to see what the result is.
By that, you will notice/know if you got a
valid and reliable data. Understand?
Yes ma’am!
Next step?
You will analyze the result.
Yes, by the results that has done you will

Class, do you think what the importance
of having a good attitude is?
Ma’am, with that you can socialized

and it can help you to be successful.
Very good! How about the importance of
scientific method in your daily lives?
Ma’am, by that you can observe,
analyze, and solve your problems.
You can also learn from it.
Very good class!

D. Elaborate
I will group you into 3, I have here a
jumbled letters that you will arrange and CURIOSITY
your chosen classmates will explain the OPENMINDNESS
given word/s. You have 5 minutes to fix PERSEVERANCE
the words and conduct your ideas. HUMILTY
PATIENCE
I have here the rubrics to assess the OBJECTIVITY
work of each group.

Rubrics:
Content - 50%
Cooperation - 25%
Behavior - 25%
Total - 100%

F. Evaluate
Now get ½ sheet of paper and answer
the following:
1-5. Give the 5 steps in scientific method
6-10. Explain the importance of attitudes
that scientist must have.
