The document outlines the objectives and components of a scientific investigation, emphasizing the importance of the scientific method in understanding natural phenomena. It categorizes science into various branches, including natural, biological, physical, and applied sciences, and describes the systematic steps involved in conducting scientific research. Additionally, it highlights the significance of investigatory projects in acquiring knowledge and solving problems through observation and experimentation.

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able
to:
➢The learner is able to Describe the components of a
scientific investigation. ➢The learner is able to Strengthen the value of using scientific method. ➢The learner is able to Use the fundamental units of quantities to standardize the exact value. A. Definition of Science ▪Science is define as an organized and systematized body of knowledge. ▪It is a field of study that explains the existence of everything. ▪Science plays an important role in the development of human lives. ▪Science is a very important field in the study of human existence primarily because it became the system itself on how human think accordingly to its nature and environment. ▪Science enables man to think correctly in according to the standards and norms of how life should exist; and Science enables the search for the truth of everything and of reality. Science as a field of study also have different branches in order to categories many fields of education or learning that will bring the truth of a thing. ▪ Natural Sciences A field of science that deals with natural phenomena that happens in the existence of man and its surroundings. It Is subdivided into different Branches.
a) Biological Science- field of science that studies
living organism such as plants, animals and human beings, and its relationship with each other and its environment, such as Biology, Zoology, Botany, Microbiology, Cytology, Anatomy, etc. a) Physical Sciences- field of science that deals with non-living things such as Physics, Chemistry and Earth Science, etc.
b) Applied Science - deals with the study of the
applications of science such as Technology, Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science, etc. ▪As science is considered as a field of study, ▪seeks to explain the events of natural phenomena in a reproducible way, use these findings to make useful ▪done through observation and experimentation of natural phenomena. Scientific method is a way to answer scientific problems that will eventually lead to better understanding of a thing and definitely follows a systematic step by step procedure that goes: Step 1. Define the problem step Step 2. Gather information about the problem step Step 3. Form a Hypothesis Step Step 4. Collect data step Step 5. Experimentation Step Step 6. Make a conclusion Step 7. Communicate results ➢defined as the search for knowledge in order to answer specific problem, or as any systematic investigation, ➢to establish facts, solve new or existing problems, prove new ideas, or develop new theories, usually using a scientific method. ➢The primary purpose for basic research is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. ➢relies on the application of the scientific method, a harnessing of curiosity. ➢provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of The nature and the properties of the world around us. ➢It makes practical applications possible. ➢is funded by public authorities, by I charitable organizations and by private groups, including many companies. ➢can be subdivided into different classifications according to their academic and application disciplines.

In science things are learned how and why a thing happens through investigation. Things are studied why and how a thing happens with a certain steps or processes. Science applies certain methods and ways that will systematically solve problems and explains why a thing behaves uniquely. In solving a problem and finding the answer that includes the process of investigation, these processes should be followed in order to come up with conclusion that is systematically undertaken. 1. Establish a problem which you want to investigate. 2. Gather information about the problem. 3. Create a scheme or a way on how to solve the problem, such as making an experiment. procedure, survey questionnaire or data that directly observes a phenomenon. All factors should be considered in making a scheme in order that the investigation be valid and limiting the scope of the investigation.
4. Execution of the scheme made in order to find the
effectiveness or result. This part includes the trial and error stage in finding the answer. In scientific process this is normally known as the experimentation stage. 5. Summarizing the result and interpreting the data gathered. Usually this is presented quantitatively or mathematically through graphs and visuals.
6. Presenting and information dissemination of the
result is the most important part so that others will know what happen and how the problem is solved. ▪an investigation done to study a certain material or phenomenon that involves scientific process to give an answer to a certain problem or query. The process of having an investigatory project will lead to acquiring knowledge and solving problems in scientific way. This means that every result or answer will have a conclusive and factual basis as it is a product of processes that proves existence and observable phenomena. A query or a problem in a certain thing or process will give rise in conducting a science investigatory project. This problem should be realistic enough to be investigated. Example problem includes— 1. What materials can be extracted from a certain material? 2. What other purpose or importance a certain material have? 3. What will be the result if a thing is added into another? 4. How effective an improvised or invented thing will be? 5. What will be the result if a component is altered or replaced with another component? A science investigatory project is actually an undertaking or an experiment that will prove the significance and important of the thing/process being studied. It includes scientific methods and process that will make use actual experimentation to show actual and observable phenomenon innate in every material to be studied. Problem /Title
▪The main problem of the investigatory
respondents, area or place of the study, time studied. The problem is the focus on what to be studied. ▪ This part includes the basic information on the main topic of the problem together with related literatures to substantiate the reason why the problem has been chosen. Specific and general problems are elaborated in this part. ▪ These are the ways on how to solve the problem that can be descriptive or experimental. A survey questionnaire may be used in descriptive type of study while laboratory process must be used in experimental type. ▪Quantitative and qualitative representation of the descriptive or experimental result ▪Over all outcome of the study primarily answering the general and specific problems, analysis, and interpretation of the data gathered is reflected in this part. ▪This part contains the whole processes and results of the study. Recommendations are also given for further improvement of the study. ▪This part shows the necessary documentations while undertaking the study such as the bibliography, permits or even legal documents and pictures to prove the conduct of the study. ▪ DO.
