LESSON
SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
(Identifying a Problem and Formulating Hypothesis)

The world is currently facing a difficult situation because

of the COVID-19 pandemic. Philippines in particular has
recorded high at more than 12,000 positive cases before
May 15, 2020 ends. This data is expected to increase or
decrease depending on how the people will observe and
comply on the different safety precautionary measures
instructed by the government. As a student like you, how would you help
solve the spread of the coronavirus? What would be your contribution to stop this problem?

In this module, you will be exposed on how scientists

solve problems. This will guide you on how to be more
observant of the things around you. Keen observation is
one way of understanding science processes like
measuring, computing, inferring, generalizing and
drawing conclusions. These science processes can help
you acquire and develop higher order thinking skills.

Hi! How did you find the test?

Please check your answers at the answer key section and
see how you did. Don’t worry if you got a low score, this
just means that there are more things that you can learn
from this module. So, hop on!

Lesson 1: Identifying a Problem

As mentioned earlier you are to experience the work of a scientist in solving
problems. Scientist asks questions about the phenomenon or situation observed. They
carefully observe and look for regularities in their observation. So, to identify a problem, you
should first be good at observing your surroundings. Let’s see how keen an observer you are
in performing the following activities.

How Keen an Observer Are You?

Directions: Observe yourself in a mirror. How well have
you seen and observed your face? Find out by answering
the questions below. Write your answer on the space
provided. (Source: Science and Technology I, NPSBE, DepEd p. 10)
1. Are your eyes below, above, or in line with your ears? ______________________
2. Is your face square, oblong, or heart shaped? ______________________
3. Do your earlobes have the same shape? ______________________
4. Are your eyelashes straight or curly? __________________________
5. Do you have birthmark on your face? __________________________
6. Which is thicker, your upper or lower lip? _________________________
7. How many moles are there on your face?
8. When you wrinkle your brow, how many deep horizontal lines are formed on your
forehead? __________________________
9. How many pockmarks are there on your face? ___________________________
Ask someone from your family member (mother, father, brothers or sisters) to check on your
answers. Let them sign your work.
How well did you score from performing the above activity? If you were able to
answer at least seven questions correctly, you are a good observer.

4
 Many people do not see what they look at. Only a few can
observe well. It is because they have been so used to
seeing things in a particular order (like the parts of the face)
that they do not take notice of little details anymore.
Observation involves all of your basic sense organs: the
eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and hands. In an observation, you
do not only look, you have to stare; you don’t only hear, you listen, you don’t
only taste and smell, you savor; and you don’t only touch, you feel.
Most of the time however, you think you are observing when in fact you are inferring.
While observation is actually seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting and touching, inferring is
making interpretations based on your past observations or experiences. You call this an
inference.
To help you differentiate between observation and inference, let us do an activity.

Differentiating Observations from Inferences

Directions: Study the picture below. The picture shows
people swimming in the Dead Sea located in the border of
Israel and Jordan. Write your observation and inferences on
the table below.

https://www.bestourism.com/img/items/big/14

Based on the given activity, how would you differentiate observation from inference? Write
your answer on the space below.
_________________________________________________________________________
______________________,___________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Good job in finishing the activity! Now, take time to process the information you acquired by
accomplishing the next task.

5
 Tell whether the given statement is an observation or an inference.

1. The cloud is clear. _______________

2. There are fruits in the basket. _______________
3. They are rich because they wear plenty of jewelry. _______________
4. Jenny’s eyes are red because she has sore eyes. _______________
5. The boy is sad because his father went away. _______________

When making observations, it is preferable to express

these in quantifiable manner. “There are 10 people in the
picture swimming in the Dead Sea” is a much better
observation than “There are many people in the picture
swimming in the Dead Sea”. This sample statement
represents the two types of observation which is
Quantitative Observation and Qualitative Observation respectively.
Qualitative observations merely describe quality while quantitative observations express
the exact quantity referred to using a number. Quantitative observation is stated to answer
how much/how many of the qualitative observations are observed.

To have a better understanding of what qualitative and quantitative observations are, try the
next activity.

Differentiating Quantitative Observation from

Qualitative Observation
Directions: On the right side column of the table below,
write the quantitative observation relevant to the qualitative
observation given.

Qualitative Observation Quantitative Observation

Example: There is a small amount of water in Example: The amount of water in a
a glass. glass is 30 milliliters.
1. Coronavirus had infected a lot of Filipinos
already.
2. IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force) ordered
GCQ (General Community Quarantine) in
some Regions.
3. A COVID-19 patient should drink enough
amount of water everyday to keep
themselves hydrated.

4. During the relief operation, the barangay

officials have given sufficient supply of rice.

5. An ambulance with COVID-19 patient is

travelling very fast.

6
Based on the given activity, how would you differentiate qualitative observation from
quantitative observation? Write your answer on the space below.
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
Good job in finishing the activity! Now, take time to process the information you acquired by
accomplishing the next task.

Determine whether the given statement is a qualitative observation or a

quantitative observation.
1. There are six girls eating in the canteen.
2. They are smart because they are honor students.
3. The boys are attending their Science 1 class.
4. Ten of the basketball players are studying at Ateneo de Manila.
5. Jose is the tallest among his classmates.
When you quantify your observations, you need to use some mathematical concepts
like measurement and formulas for determining the mass and volume of objects.

Hi! How did you find the activities?

I just hope that your observation skills have been improved
already. Note that observation is a science process skill that
is important before starting any science investigation.
Going back to your response on the observation you have on
the picture showing people swimming in the Dead Sea, one
of your observations might include “the man reading while
floating in the water”. Have you ever wondered how did this
happen? Do you have similar experience while swimming in
the sea? Would it be possible for someone to float totally in
water? What causes the man to float in water while reading a
book?
If you have those similar questions, you are doing great. You
have shown curiosity from doing so. Curiosity is one of the
attitudes a scientist should possess. It is characterized by
asking several questions on something that is unusual and/or
questions to problems encountered.
So, if you are curious about the floating man in the picture,
don’t worry because science has an explanation to it. Keep
up and proceed to the next activities in this module. Let’s
investigate how the man was able to float in water.

 Stating a Problem for Investigation
Direction: Read the Scenario below and answer the
questions that follow.

Scenario
Dead Sea is one of the tourist attractions in the Holy Land located between the
borders of Israel and Jordan. It is known for its unique nature where you will be floating in
water when you go swimming. This phenomenon is attributed to the high amount of salt
present making the water becomes denser. To explain this phenomenon, John a Grade 7
student conducted an experiment using table salt, water and egg. He wanted to investigate
that increasing the amount of salt in water would make an egg to float in water.
Guide questions:
1. What is the problem that John wanted to investigate in the situation given?
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________

2. If you are John, write a question you wanted to answer in doing the investigation.
(Note: The question should be based on the problem identified in number 1)
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________

Asking the right questions at the right time is a sign of

curiosity, objectivity and a desire to learn more. In
scientific investigation the question we ask is called a
Research Question. The research question is sometimes
formed as a statement and is called the "Problem" or
"Problem Statement."

The discussion on Enotes.com emphasizes that a good research question has the
following characteristics:

• It should have some answers (real answers)

• It should be testable (can be tested by someone through an experiment or
measurement)
• Leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a
hypothesis that can be shown to fail).

In general, questions that require you to recall observations or repeat given

information are considered low-level questions. These questions do not require much
thinking. High-level questions, on the other hand, require you to think about why and
how things happen. It must be investigative in nature that it must identify cause-effect
relationship between factors of investigation. Like for example, “Does increasing the
amount of salt affect the floating of an egg?” or “What is the effect of increasing the
amount of salt on the floating of an egg?” is/are good research question.

Lesson 2: Formulating Hypothesis
After you have identified a problem based on your observations and come up with
asking research questions, you are now ready for the next steps of the Scientific Method
which is formulating hypothesis. To learn more of this, perform the following activities.

The Story of Thomas Alva Edison

Read the article and answer the self-test given after
reading the article.

The Story of Thomas Alva Edison

“Thomas Alva Edison once noticed that when electricity flowed through a piece of
iron wire, the iron wire became red hot. The wire glowed brightly, but not bright enough to
light a room. When he used a thinner piece of iron wire and allowed electricity to pass
through, the wire glowed. But he wanted greater brightness. He tried other metals. Finally he
discovered that a thin piece of tungsten wire could actually glow so bright that it could light
up a room.
But he also saw that the glow did not last long. After a few minutes, the wire had
burned to ashes. He wondered why. He knew that oxygen is needed in burning. Using a
machine he pumped out all the air inside the bulb. He enclosed the tungsten wire in what he
thought was already an oxygen-free bulb. He tested the bulb. The bulb glowed longer than
before. What he wanted was a bulb to glow longer and give light steadily, so he continued
with his experiment.
He pumped out all the air or gases inside the tube and tested the bulb. He repeated
these steps over and over again getting several bulbs busted in the process. He did not lose
hope. He continued with the experiment until finally the tungsten wire glowed steadily and
brighter. He knew that he succeeded. He invented the incandescent light bulb.
Source: Science and Technology I, SEDP Series, DECS pp. 3-4.

Answer the following questions. Write the letter that corresponds to the right
answer before the number. Check your Answers on page 19.

_____ 1. What was the problem of Thomas Alva Edison in his experiment?
a. Where does electricity come from?
b. What makes an iron glow?
c. How to make a wire glow brighter?
d. How to make a light enough to lit a room using a wire?
_____ 2. What was his hypothesis in making the wire glow brighter?
a. The thinner the wire, the brighter will be the bulb.
b. Tungsten wire can produce more brightness than ordinary wire.
c. Tungsten wire can light longer in oxygen-free bulbs.
d. The more oxygen in the bulb, the less glow is produced.

9
_____ 3. What was the basis of the hypothesis?
a. What is produced when electricity is allowed to pass through a piece of
iron wire?
b. What reaction tungsten wire has compared to the piece of iron wire?
c. What would it be like when there is no electricity?
d. Which type of metal glow brighter?
_____ 4. Which of the following methods of solving a problem is applied to Edison’s case?
a. popular method c. serendipity
b. trial and error method d. scientific method
_____ 5. What personal trait helped Thomas Edison invent the incandescent bulb?
a. persistence c. patience
b. resourcefulness d. All of these

Solutions to problems start with the formulation of a

hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on
one’s observation. It is a tentative explanation for a behavior,
event or phenomenon that will occur. A hypothesis maybe
rejected or accepted.
Formulating a hypothesis is the same as predicting. It is made about future events on the
basis of ordered data. From the hypothesis, solutions to the problem can be sought.
Remember, you can have many hypotheses for one observation. You can also state your
hypothesis in different ways, for as long as the factors involved in the study are included in
the statement. One good way of stating the hypothesis is by using the “If” and “then”…
statement.
Example: Using the experiment of Thomas Alva Edison.

Problem: How to make a light enough to lit a room using a wire?

Question: What is the effect of decreasing the size of an iron wire on the amount of light it
produces?

Hypothesis: If the size of an iron wire is thinner, then the amount of light produced
increases.

Note: The underlined phrases are referred to as factors involved in the study which will later
be defined as variables on the next modules.

Hi! Are you having a clear idea now?

I hope the given example above would be helpful for you to
formulate your own hypothesis now.

much the barangay officials advised its people to stay at home, wear face mask, and
practice physical distancing when going out, as well as wash their hands properly and
regularly, the people seem not to care. Because of their attitude and behavior, the virus
quickly spread and became a pandemic. Cardo Mahusay, the Barangay Captain of
Barangay Masamok, was alarmed by the situation. He investigated how many individuals
were infected for not following the suggested precautionary measures when going out of
