 Lesson
Introduction to
1 Scientific Method

In this lesson, you will explore how scientist solves a problem using a process
known as the Scientific Method. This unlocks the bodies of knowledge by helping the
researcher in organizing thoughts and procedures and making him or her confident of
the findings generated from the experiments. As a student, you can also use
this system to explore the world and solve every day problems.

 Scientific Method

The scientific method is a systematic way of learning about the world around
us and answering questions. The key difference between the scientific process and
other ways of acquiring understanding are forming a hypothesis and then testing it
with an experiment. It is essential that you know and understand the series of steps
involved in the investigatory process.

Statement of the Problem

Modify Hypothesis Formulation of Hypothesis

Repeat several times

Testing/Experimentation

Analysis of Data

Drawing of Conclusion

Hypothesis is FALSE Hypothesis is TRUE

Report Results

Steps of the Scientific Method

1. Statement of the Problem – Develop a question or problem that can be solved
through experimentation.

Example: How does fertilizer affect the growth of plants?

2. Formulation of Hypothesis - Predict a possible solution/answer to the
problem or question.

Example: If a fertilizer is added to the plant, then the plant will grow taller.
3. Testing/ Experimentation – a procedure to test the hypothesis.

7
 4. Analysis of Data – data obtained from experiments should be analyzed and
presented systematically. The data may be presented using a table for easy
interpretation.

5. Drawing of Conclusion - The answer to the hypothesis based on the data

obtained from the experiment.

Example: Based from the result of the experiment, I therefore conclude that the
fertilizer has a significant effect to the growth of plants.

6. Communicate the Results – once the data have been obtained and analyzed
and the conclusion has been drawn, the next step is to share the results. This
stage is important in disseminating the knowledge gained in the process.

Before you come up with a problem one important thing that you need to have
is a good observation skill. Observation is a statement about something that you have
noticed. It also describes an object using your five senses or measurement.

Types of Observation

 Qualitative Observation - use your senses to observe the results.

 Quantitative Observation - observations are made with instruments such as

rulers, balances, graduated cylinders, beakers, and thermometers. These
results are measurable.

Example:

Qualitative Quantitative

• Robust aroma • 200 ml of coffee

• Frothy appearance • Serving temperature

360 C.
• Strong taste
• serving cup 4 inches
• Black Coffee in height

• cost: 115 php

Through an observation of a situation, data is gathered; a problem is identified

and should be stated specifically and exactly.

Formulation of Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a simple statement that presents the possible solution to the problem.

Hypothesis may be stated in two ways:

a.) Null hypothesis (Ho) – hypothesis that states a no relationship between

variables.

b.) Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) – hypothesis that states a relationship between

variables.

Example: Statement of the problem: Berry wants to know how different colors of
light affect the growth of plants.
Ho = Different colors of lights has no significant effect on the growth of plant.

Ha = Different colors of lights has a significant effect on the growth of plant.

Testing/ Experimentation
Experiment is a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a
hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact. Before you perform an experiment,
determining the variables is necessary. Variables are measurable characteristics or
parameters that can be controlled or changed in an experiment. There are three kinds
of variables in an experiment:

a. Controlled variables –are the variables that are kept constant because they
might affect the outcome of the experiment.

b. Independent variables – are variables that can be change or manipulated in an

experiment.

c. Dependent variables - Dependent variables respond to the changes you made

with the independent variable.

Example: using the same problem in the previous discussion the following variables
are as follows

Controlled Independent Dependent

 Amount of water and sunlight Different colors of the Growth of the plants in
received by the plants light (ROYGBIV) terms of height and
 Amount and type of soil number of leaves
 The temperature

15
Controlled Experiments

• Generally compares the results obtained from an experimental sample against

the control sample.

• The observer test the hypothesis by looking for changes brought about by
alteration to a variable.

Analyzing and Presenting Data

Data obtained from experiments should be analyzed and presented systematically. It

can be organized into charts, tables, or graphs.

Example:

Setup Initial height Frequency of Treatment Growth

of the plant watering
A 15 cm Thrice a week No light 15 cm
B 15 cm Thrice a week Red light 18 cm
C 15 cm Thrice a week Orange 22 cm
D 15 cm Thrice a week Yellow 26 cm
E 15 cm Thrice a week Green 30 cm
F 15 cm Thrice a week Blue 34 cm
G 15 cm Thrice a week indigo 40 cm
H 15 cm Thrice a week Violet 48 cm
Note: Setup A is considered as the control group because no treatment was
administered.

The table shows the growth rate of the plant depending on the color of light applied to
them. The difference in the height of the plants in setup A to G showed that the
independent variable (different colors of light) had an effect on the growth of the
plants.

Creating Conclusion

The fifth step in the scientific method is the conclusion. This is a summary of the
experiment's results, and how those results match up to your hypothesis.

You have two options for your conclusions: based on your results, either:

1. You REJECT the hypothesis, or

2. You ACCEPT the hypothesis.

Communicate the Results

Once the data have been obtained and analyzed and the conclusion has been drawn,
the next step is to share the results. This stage is important in disseminating the
knowledge gained in the process.

the brightness of a group of light bulbs to the number of batteries connected to it. In
their first setup they connected two identical light bulbs to two batteries. In their
second setup they connected two identical light bulbs to four batteries. In the last
setup, they connected two identical light bulbs to six batteries. The brand of the
batteries used and the specifications of the light bulbs used in all setups were kept
constant. Their experiments showed that the brightness of the two bulbs increases as
the number of batteries used as power source also increases.

Mr. Santiago wanted to know if his students would do better on a quiz if he gave them
chocolates. He assumed that the more chocolates that he give, the better they would
do on the quiz. He divides his class into four groups. Each group had the same
amount of boys and girls, given the same quiz, and at the same level. The first group
was not promised any chocolate while the second, third and fourth group will receive
1, 2 and 3 chocolate bars if they will perform well on the quiz.

After the quiz, the following scores were obtained: Group #1 got an average of 70%;
Group #2 scored 80%; Group #3 got 90% and lastly, Group #4 got an average of 95%.
Mr. Santiago then decided that the more chocolate a group was promised, the better
they did on quizzes. He then repeated the experiment with different students.
