Laboratory Scientific Investigation (Steps in scientific investigation)

Learning -Understanding steps in scientific investigations

Objectives: -Carry out simple pendulum experiment
-Write a report

Learning
Outcomes: At the end of teaching and learning process students should be able to:
1) Able to state the steps in scientific investigation,
2) Able to carry out a pendulum experiment and record data.
3) Able to write lab report in a proper format.
4) Able to work collaboratively with partner or group

1. Teacher shows a video
clip of a woman frying
an egg. Based on the
video clip, students are
asked to explain about
the activity briefly.

the procedure to fry
the egg
Result: fried egg]

- scale
- best-fit line

2) What is sutable
scale for x-axis and
y-axis?
Teacher asks the students to Teacher will check
submit the report as a PEKA student’s graph.
Evaluation Students can
report and teacher should
submit lab report
explain briefly about PEKA to
