5.1.Introductory  Preliminary Activity:
Activity:  Prayer:
 Attendance Check:
 Review Previous lesson on Variables

(In this Activity the Teacher will check the learners’ level of readiness
for the next lesson topic.)

Recall the Variables!

Encircle the variables in each of the situation below and determine

whether the situation involves univariate or a bivariate data. (Activity
Sheet # 1)

Univariate or
Statements
Bivariate
1. A researcher looked into the salary/income
and civil status of government employees.
2. The veterinarian listed the weight of the
newborn puppies.
3. The school nurse recorded the age and the
blood pressure of the teachers.
4. A vendor keeps track of how much ice
candy they sell everyday versus the daily
temperature.
5. A STEM student surveyed Grade 10
students on the number of hours spent using
cell phone and their previous grade.

Questions:
 1. How were you able to differentiate univariate from bivariate data?
2. Which among the statements above may deal with relationship
between variables?

*When examining bivariate data, the two variables could depend on

each other and one variable could influence the other.
5.2.Activity Motivational Activity
(This activity will serve not only to motivate the learners but also as
an opening to the readiness of the students to the lesson. In this
activity the students will identify situations that involves
relationships between two variables. The learners can also use their
language skills dealing with cause-and-effect relationship for better
understanding. This activity is integrated in English subjects.)

Identify its match

Match the pictures in the game from row A to row B. Then, answer the
questions that follow.

Guide Questions:
1. How did you match each picture in row A to row B? What are the
things you considered?
2. In general, what do the pictures in row A and row B represent?
3. Suppose you didn’t eat breakfast, what could happen to you?
4. If you didn’t pass an examination, what could be the reason?

5.3.Analysis Presentation:
In the previous activity, the learners will become familiar with bivariate
data, which always involve two variables. One of these variables is the
dependent variable and the other one is the independent variable.
What is the difference between the two variables?
Teacher will post this question:

Discussion:
The teacher will discuss and give more examples to identify dependent
variables and independent variables. The different examples will be
posted on the board for a better understanding of the different given
situations.

A. Definition of dependent variable and independent variable.

Dependent variable depends on other variables or factors. It is

something that is influenced and affected. It is also associated with the
word effect or outcome.
Independent variable affects the dependent variable. It is something
you have control over, one which you can choose and manipulate.
However, in some cases, you may not be able to manipulate the
independent variable. It is commonly known as the cause or the reason
behind changes.

B. Examples:

Example #1
For example, the researcher wants to determine the effects of the use
of social media on the academic performance of students in
Mathematics.
The bivariate data in the study are the use of social media and
academic performance. Academic performance depends on the use of
social media, or we can say that academic performance is affected by
the use of social media. Therefore, independent variable here is the
use of social media and the dependent variable is the academic
performance.

Example # 2
Identify the dependent and independent variables in the next
statements. Taking a nap in the afternoon makes people more
relaxed and less irritable for the rest of the day. If you want to be
more relaxed and less irritable, it depends on the number of hours you
take a nap in the afternoon.

Example # 3.
Research Title: Math App (Math Tricks) for Improving
Fundamental Basic Skills and Retention of Grade 11 Students of
Mapalad Integrated High School
5.4.Abstraction In this Activities, the learners will be group into 4 in a differentiated
way.
(The following Activities are being integrated in the following subjects:
Research, UCSP, Science, Health and English)

Let’s Connect to Correct: Group Gamma

Instruction: Connect the dependent and independent variables to form
a correct sentence structure. The first one is given as an example

Independent Dependent Correct Sentence

Variable Variable
Test score depends
number of hours
test score on the number of
studying for a test
hours studying for a
test.
kilowatts used in a electricity bill 1.
household
person’s running time it takes to run a 2
speed mile
genes they inherit height of a person 3.

It Depends On… Group Omega

Instruction: On the table below, you have sets of variables not
categorized into dependent and independent variables. Connect the
two variables by using depends on to form a correct sentence
structure.

Identify Me! Group Alpha

Instruction: Underline the independent variable and encircle the
 dependent variable.

1. effect of temperature on plant pigmentation

2. effects of fertilizer brand on plant growth

3. effect of brightness of light on a moth being attracted to the light

4. test scores of students and time spent on studying

5. relationship between income and educational attainment of young

Put Me in the Box! Group Beta

Instruction: Identify the independent and dependent variables in each
question stated below.

Questions Independent Dependent

Variable Variable
1. How does logical thinking
develop critical thinking?
2. What are the effects of
Koreanovelas on the Filipino value
system?
3. In what way does collaborative
learning increase communicative
competence?
4. To what extent does texting
decrease students’ grammatical
competence?
5. What corrupt practices trigger
one’s resignation?

Generalization from the given activities:

 Dependent variable depends on the other variable. It is related
with the words “outcome” or “effect”
 Independent variable affects the other variable. It is linked as the
“cause” or the “reason” behind changes.
 In graphing the scatter plot, independent variable always goes
on the x-axis (horizontal axis) while the dependent variable
goes on the y-axis (vertical axis).
