IV. PROCEDURES
A. Introduction
The teacher will be utilizing the Google Classroom for online
teaching modality.

Science includes all the knowledge gained through the

process of exploring our environment. This body of
knowledge is always growing and changing as scientists ask
new questions, explore new ideas, and solve problems.
Sometimes scientists discover new things by accident,
but more often they follow a step procedure to find answers
to their questions.
 Activity #1
Direction: Read the paragraph below and answer the
questions that follow.
The Toaster

John gets two slices of bread and put them into the
toaster, and presses the button. However, the bread does
not toast. He thinks that the bread didn't toast because the
electrical outlet is broken. Then he plugs the toaster into a
different outlet so that it fixes the problem. After plugging the
toaster in to another outlet, the bread toast.
Questions:
1. What was the problem encountered by John?
2. What was the reason why the bread didn’t toast?
3. What did John do to solve his problem?
4. Does John solve his problem?
5. Why do you think John was able to solve his problem?

Orientation:
The learners will read the objective that is expected of
them as indicated in the module.

B. Development Before you start to study the scientific investigation,

answer the items given below to determine if you know
something about scientific investigation.

Determine if the given statement is TRUE or FALSE.

1. Defining a problem is the first step in a scientific method.

2. A conclusion is called a proposed solution or explanation
of a scientific event in nature.
3. In writing a hypothesis, it should be testable.
4. Observation is the process of obtaining information by
using the senses.
5. In Science, an educated guess is called hypothesis.
6. In communicating results, scientist shares his/her
findings with other scientist.
7. Plagiary is one of the steps in a scientific method.
8. Designing an experiment was done to test the
hypothesis.
9. The scientific method was developed to help scientists
organize the process of solving problems.
10. Conclusion must be done after formulating your
hypothesis.

To fully understand the lesson, study Module 1: Scientific

Investigation.

You do not have to be a scientist to used scientific

investigation. You may not realize it, but you probably have
tried solved problems in a scientific way. If you have tried to
find the best conditions for fish in your aquarium, or the best
way to shoot a basketball, you have applied methods of
scientific inquiry used by men and women of science.

(Note: This part will be perform on Day 2)

 Can you identify the different steps in a scientific
investigation?

Perform the given activity to widen your knowledge about

scientific investigation.

Activity #2 Graphic Organizer

Direction: Fill in the chart with the corresponding steps in
Scientific Method.
Steps in Scientific Method

In scientific investigation, it is important to know the step

by step procedures. These steps should follow accordingly.
All scientific inquiry begins with an observation which is a
skill that requires one or more of the human sense organs.
Based on the observation, you can define a problem and
from that problem you can now formulate your hypothesis.
The experimentation is the best way for you to test your
hypothesis. In experimentation, there are variables which
are factors that can be tested in an experiment. During the
experiment, you have to record all the data gathered. You
will now analyze the data you gathered during the
experimentation. Once you already analyze the results, you
may now draw your conclusion. It is important to
communicate the result to other scientists.

If you want to solve a problem using scientific method,

you have to familiarize with the different steps. The activity
given below will help you understand the different steps.

Activity # 3 Steps in Scientific Method

Direction: Identify which step is being described in each
number below. (Problem/Question, Data
Gathering/Research, Hypothesis, Experimentation, Data
Analysis, Conclusion, and Communicate Result)

__________ 1. An educated guess about how things work.

It is an attempt to answer your question with an explanation
that can be tested. A good hypothesis allows you to then
make a prediction.
__________ 2. Once your experiment is complete, you
collect your measurements and analyze them to see if they
support your hypothesis or not.

__________ 3. The scientific method starts when you ask a

question about something that you observe: How, What,
 When, Who, Which, Why, or Where?
__________ 4. It will test whether your prediction is
accurate and thus your hypothesis is supported or not. It is
important for your experiment to be a fair test. You conduct
a fair test by making sure that you change only one factor at
a time while keeping all other conditions the same.
__________ 5. To complete your science fair project you
will share your results to others in a final report and/or a
display board.
__________ 6. Rather than starting from scratch in putting
together a plan for answering your question, you want to be
a savvy scientist using library and Internet research to help
you find the best way to do things and ensure that you don't
repeat mistakes from the past.
C. Engagement (Note: This part will be perform on Day 3)

Are you curious about how to bake bread? We can

associate scientific method. There are also steps and
variables needed to have big and delicious bread. The next
activity will help you how scientific investigation used in
baking.

Activity #4 The Rising Bread

Direction: Read the scientific inquiry about “The Rising
Bread” given below. Identify the:

1. Problem:
2. Data gathering/Research:
3. Hypothesis:
4. Experimentation:
5. Data Analysis:
6. Conclusion
7. Communicate Results:

The Rising Bread

John watches his grandmother bake bread. He asks his

grandmother what makes the bread rise. She explains that
yeast releases gas as it feeds on sugar. John wonders if
the amount of sugar used in the recipe will affect the size of
the bread loaf. John researches the area of baking and
fermentation and tries to come up with a way to test the
questions. After talking with his teacher and conducting
further research, he comes with a hypothesis. If more sugar
is added, then the bread will rise higher. John gathers his
materials and carries out his experiment. John is going to
test each sugar variables 3 times. John examines his data
and notices that his control worked the best in this
experiment, but not significantly better than 100g of sugar.
John finds that 70g of sugar produces the largest loaf. John
tells his grandmother about his findings.

Have you experienced to loss something you owned?

We also apply scientific investigation in our daily life, how,
will find out in the next activity.
